Very friendly staff, makes my child feel safe and she enjoys coming here. Meals are good and she enjoys telling me about her day when she gets home. She learns a lot and implements it when she gets home

My little boy is absolutely thriving having come to nursery here. The staff are amazing and have helped to make him the little character he is today. He has made some lovely little friends too. He is coming home showing what he has learnt every day. He loves his keyworker and all the staff in the baby
room. Definitely recommend this nursery without doubt!

My daughter is in the baby room and she has developed a great bond with staff members which is lovely to see. She has started to develop really quickly since joining nursery, and is coming out with new words each week!
I mentioned in the morning that my daughter is really enjoying animals at the moment,
and a particular staff member set up the activity tray to be animals in the morning to reflect this which I thought was amazing! I feel at ease dropping her off in the morning knowing she is going to have a day of lots of messy play and can explore different types of learning.
The food options are also great, my daughter has been eating a wide range of foods, the staff have been great at accommodating to make sure she doesn't eat certain foods that upset her tummy too.
All staff are lovely and approachable.

My daughter has been with Norbreck Kids Planet since 8 months old. She absolutely loves coming to nursery. She has recently moved up rooms due to age, the ladies in the baby room made this process so comfortable for myself and my daughter as I was so worried. The ladies in the baby room are amazing,
so warm, welcoming and supportive. They go above and beyond.
My daughter has settled in really well to the toddler room now, staff have been so welcoming, made her feel so welcome.
The food is amazing, the play room areas are amazing, I genuinely can't fault them at all.
Thank you so much.

My little girl has been here since 2021 and she has a great relationship with the staff and absolutely loves coming in. The staff really understand her needs and know her very well. My daughter will be genuinely sad to leave nursery when she starts school.

The staff are all great with our son even though he can be hard work. No complaints. It costs a lot but every nursery does. We had to alter hours and they (Kids Planet) found us another nursery quickly.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.888)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.888) out of 10 for Kids Planet Norbreck is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.888 for Kids Planet Norbreck is calculated as follows: ( (342 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 383 Ratings = 4.888

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Norbreck is based on 32 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 102 number of registered child places is 20.4, which has been reached with 32 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
