So far our little boy has had a brilliant experience at Kids Planet Norbreck and he is learning so much. Not only is he learning key skills but he is also learning how to communicate with others. His speech is coming on so well and he loves the variety of food that he gets for his lunch and tea. He
has really close relationships with his key workers and he has made so many friends whilst being here. The facilities are perfect for him! Really safe and plenty to keep his body and mind active. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming and they take the time to learn who each individual child is and what their needs are! The updates on the app are great and we love seeing what he gets up to when he is here.

My daughter is flourishing at nursery, she has grown so much in confidence and really come out of her shell. She has begun to transition into toddler room and I feel very happy with how they have settled her in. She loves baby room staff but has gone to toddler room with such confidence. I know my child
will continue to thrive.

All staff are so approachable and go out of their way to be supportive. They greet us with a smile and always make a fuss of all children by name.
My child happily runs in and I have no worries as he is always happy and settled.
I have confidence in nursery, as it appears well run and people genuinely
seem to enjoy their roles.
Thank you.

I have my second child in this particular nursery, and I have been very satisfied with the services they provide. I am always informed on activities my child is undertaking and I am being sent photos throughout the day and a full feedback on collection. My little boy enjoys going in every morning which
gives me confidence he is happy and cared for while in.
Other staff working in offices are very forthcoming and happy to help as much as they can if I have any queries or need of extra sessions, they will do all they can to help.
Thank you all at Kids Planet Norbreck.

My children have been attending the breakfast, after-school and holiday clubs at Norbreck for the past four years. I can’t praise them highly enough.
It is well structured, organised, varied (as far as this type of setting can be), imaginative and caring. It is balanced as in how the staff manage
the setting and children. There is always laughter, fun and noise, and the children feel safe and secure.
The activities they do are imaginative and also teach the children life skills. Brilliant all-round.

After School Club is always well maintained, with plenty of activities to keep the children occupied, and a wide variety of snacks to choose from and my son always loves his time at After School Club. The staff are all friendly, tentative and welcoming and are always coming up with new ideas and themes
of activities to get all children engaged and enjoying their time at After School Club.

My son has been coming here since he was 2 years old. He is about to leave this year for high school. He has loved his time the staff are very friendly. His older brother also came for a few years and the staff still says hello to him and talks to him. I would highly recommend this nursery and the after-school
club.

My child loves coming to nursery she wakes up excited every day. She speaks fondly of her teachers who all give fantastic handovers and seem genuinely interested in the children they look after. My daughter tells me all about her day and the different activities offered she particularly enjoys singing
and dancing which one staff member especially takes care to do with my daughter. The children all seem to be wrapped up warm when outside, their noses wiped and hands and faces kept clean. Which I can imagine is very hard to achieve but the nursery staff take care of these little details. Which as a mum, makes me feel so comfortable leaving my daughter with them. My daughter is a fussy eater and they have been supportive in ensuring they encourage her to try new things whilst ensuring she manages to eat. I cannot fault the nursery or the staff I think they are all amazing and I appreciate them very much. I highly recommend this nursery.

Cannot fault anything at the out of school club. My son is very well looked after and the staff are great with him and also very approachable if any issues do occur. My youngest starts in September and has already been made very welcome.

My daughter goes to both after-school club and holiday club. She loves it there. They look after her so well which gives me the reassurance that she is in safe hands when I’m at work.
They do fun activities and she loves the snack selection there.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.889)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.889) 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 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.889 for Kids Planet Norbreck is calculated as follows: ( (429 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 479 Ratings = 4.889

  • 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 40 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 40 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.
