My son has attended the Out of School Club at Kids Planet Norbreck for a year and a half now and I can honestly say the staff are the most amazing group of people to look after the children. They are so attentive and kind, my son absolutely loves going and never leaves without a smile on his face. The
level of care they give is incredible, not only to the children but as a parent myself I feel genuinely warmed and welcomed by the staff on collection/drop offs. As I parent I am so happy with the level of care my son receives whilst I am at work and could not ask for any more than what they already do for us.

This is an amazing nursery. The staff are kind and caring. We get lots of updates throughout the day via the app. My daughter loves attending and is always happy when I collect her. Theres always a variety of food on offer for the children and all good homemade meals.

I can not tell you how much my daughter loves this holiday club - staff are so friendly and caring to all her needs and the activities they do are different types of educational learning and fun.
I am impressed with the organisation and will be using this holiday club in the future as their hours
of 7.30 am to 5.30 pm, to my knowledge, this is the only place in this area that fit around my work.
I feel very happy she is safe, enjoying herself and learning when I am working.
They have supported my family with emergency care in the past - the manager is very approachable and listens which is important.
Thank you!

My little girl has attended Kidspace from being 13 months old. She is a very shy little girl and I can honestly say by being at Kidspace nursery she has come on massively. She is currently in stepping stones and has been joining in with all the activities the nursery does. Her favourite activity is
the French classes and anything that gets her up dancing! I am really pleased with her progression through her frameworks and she is a totally different child, full of energy and happy. My little boy who is now in reception at school attended Kidspace from being the same age and I can honestly say it has given him the step up to school just life, which was just what he needed.

My son started nursery due to a development delay to help him socially and to help with communication and language. My son was non-verbal and wouldn't make eye contact, six months later he is now doing extremely well, communicating, socialising with children and adults and comes into nursery with a
big smile. He is doing so well, I am overwhelmed with his progress. He loves nursery so very much. I am so thankful for everything, the nursery staff, team, office staff and manager are the nicest people you could ever want to look after your children. They have supported my son and me and are always there with a smile on their faces.

My daughter has been attending Kidspace since November 2019. The staff are astounding. They genuinely care for the children in their care and give them a mind boggling array of activities to help them grow in confidence and abilities, from walks along the promenade to Spanish lessons, free play to football
lessons.


My daughter loves it there and is always excited to go to nursery. At night time I have to tell her princess stories not just about herself but including the nursery staff because she sees them as so integral to her life that she wants them to share in her fun bedtime stories too.


They are always on the ball with any injuries, even if it's just little bumps they keep me well informed. They are also very active with the parent app so I can see what my daughter has been doing that day, enabling me to continue the education at home, as well as keeping me informed of where she is on early years standards.


I highly recommend Kidspace to any parent.

Just to say that I truly enjoyed the parent's play session. My child loved every minute of it. Spanish class was a lot of fun too. Well done to the nursery management for organising it. Keep up the good work

My daughter has been attending the nursery since June 2018, she was ten months old when started. The team from babies up to her current room in Ladybirds not only have been amazing, supportive and caring for my daughter, but extremely supportive towards myself and are amazing. My daughter has so much
confidence, independence and love for all the team in the nursery it makes me happy knowing she is well cared for and for that I thank them all. Can’t recommend enough.

This nursery is quite simply fantastic! The staff are friendly, kind and genuinely care for your child. My son is almost four and has attended the nursery since he was nine months old. The setting is well structured, with different age groups having their own age-appropriate room and facilities. Activities
are varied with plenty of opportunities to play outside. Meals are cooked on-site and provide a healthy balanced diet. My son enjoys them so much that often asks for more. The first-class care my son has experienced over the last three years has enabled me to continue my own career without feeling guilty or worried about leaving him. He absolutely loves going and both he and I will miss seeing the wonderful staff enormously when it is time for him to start Primary school next year. I cannot recommend highly enough - if you are searching for outstanding care for your child, then look no further!

Highly recommended.


The staff are like a family, very helpful, will go out of their way to help you with anything. They make you very welcome every time whoever walks through those doors.


I have been with them for 6 years and my children absolutely love this place. My little girl actually grabs

anything and shouts when I pick her up, she never wants to leave.


Will 100% miss them all, a very happy place. Absolutely amazing nursery.

A really happy feel about the nursery. My little one has enjoyed every room she has been in and the staff have taken the time to know the individual children. As well as having fun she is clearly learning here as well. The resources and facilities are outstanding and the menu choices are varied.

I find the staff really friendly and my children have built a really good bond with some of them, it feels like a safe, relaxed, fun environment for children. I feel comfortable leaving my children here and trust they will be looked after and cared for. Staff are good and manage behaviour, provide routine
but also make the days really fun! - some staff seem to struggle dealing with the amount of children and manage the groups/class behaviour sometimes - maybe more supervision or Personal development is needed for junior staff. I can imagine working with large amounts of infants/preschoolers can be daunting! The manager is really good and has worked her way up through the ranks and has a really good manner and understanding of the nursery and the needs of the children and parents - I can already see a positive change in the environment and the way in which any of my concerns or questions are being answered and dealt with. I am more likely to recommend this nursery to people now!

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.
