Kids Planet Hall Lane has been amazing in supporting my daughter! The staff pay attention to little details and really got to know my daughter to care and help her thrive. The children participate in a range of activities and I love that I get to see daily pictures sent through the app to see what she’s
been up to. My daughter got to experience so much messy play as well as spontaneous trips to the city centre and park! The staff and management are so kind and warm and the communication is excellent. They also have lovely events throughout the year such as seasonal stay and plays. It has been very reassuring to know that she’s been looked after by such caring professionals.

Excellent nursery, with very friendly knowledgeable staff who know every child inside out. Give great updates throughout the day as to what your child is up to. Fun activities. Teach independence from a young age. Always happy to help with any extra sessions. Highly recommended.

The need for childcare for us came during a global pandemic. We felt it would benefit our little girl to have some other safe contact with other children and adults. It was also a need due to continuing to work through the pandemic.
Upon speaking to the nursery (owned by another company at the time)
we found comfort in the staff and decided to enrol our child there.
Since then we’ve not looked back and will be forever grateful for the nursery’s assistance with raising and teaching our little girl. We know she is safe and looking forward to picking her up to hear about her day.
She is always well-fed and loves the selection at the nursery - she enjoys outdoor and imaginative play which is always encouraged at the nursery. More so now as the new owners are introducing day trips - which we as parents think is excellent.
The staff at the nursery play a huge part in our little girl's life at the moment and we can see how hard they have and are continuing to work.

Kids always come out happy and have always done really good activities. The nursery goes out of their way to settle in children and kids are allowed to explore and be themselves, the takeover has been really good and I am seeing some positive changes. The only thing I am not overly keen on is the menu
but it is healthy and massive variety but some days I think it's not very kid friendly.

My little girl started here in late 2021 and it was the best decision we have made. My child has grown within herself by becoming more confident, trying lots of new foods and has learnt so much since starting. I regret not sending her here when I returned to work after maternity. The staff are all wonderful
and will always let you know about any problems your child is having or answer any questions you may have. You can tell they are all very passionate about their job and the care they have for the children. The site is very secure and takes pride in safeguarding. My second little girl will 100% be attending this site when I return to work - I cannot fault the staff at all.

My son started going to this nursery in April 2022. He has really shown good development. The teachers are extremely professional and caring in terms of taking care of each child. In my opinion, the best nursery in the area.

My son has made such amazing progress with everything from speech to playing with other children and part of that credit should go to his nursery staff. He’s excited to see them every time he goes and he talks about them and his friends nonstop at home. Kids Planet have made me feel very comfortable
in leaving him without me for the time he’s gone and I’m never worried about him because I know he’s well looked after and having a great time.

Incredible nursery with incredible staff. My child always comes home happy and doesn't want to leave! She has excelled so much since coming to this nursery and I believe they have done a great job getting her ready to start her school journey. The nursery manager is so helpful and polite and always
on hand to answer any questions and the practitioners in the rooms are brilliant, three members especially.

I sent my daughter to nursery when I started college she was only about 10 months old and she’s come such a long way since starting. I feel as though they’ve helped her with her speech and when she began to walk. My daughter loves going to nursery, I’ve never had a problem and it’s a great nursery.

My child has just started going to this nursery, and he is starting to settle in very well slowly thanks to the amazing staff who are very warm and very welcoming. I'd recommend this nursery to everyone.

My daughter started in January 2021. I was so apprehensive as lockdown had secluded us from the normality of the world and my daughter was very much used to me and my husband only. However, she quickly became very fond of the nursery nurses and the other children and I feel like she has had some form
of normality during COVID and these unprecedented times.
She thoroughly enjoys it now and I’m very happy with the friendly staff and their constant updates regarding my daughter's development.

Such a great move sending our son here. He loves it here. They are very child-centred and I love every aspect of the service provision. My son always comes home with something new learnt and is very social and confident. The Team are brilliant and so accommodating and very flexible in their professional
manner and every request to date has been fulfilled with no issues whatsoever.

I moved my child over from another provider in July with some anxiety as I hadn’t seen the inside of the nursery or spoken to the staff. However, within one week of my child being at the nursery I can say it was the best decision I made for my child. I noticed a huge difference in his speaking and
communicating skills over a period of 4 weeks compared to 2 years at the other nursery. The nursery are currently helping me to potty train my little one and are so supportive. They always reassure me that he has had a fantastic day and are so caring towards him. I feel so at ease leaving him at the nursery as I know he is well looked after and very well-fed (his favourite part of the day). Thank you Kinder Haven for being the best nursery I have come across. You guys should be so proud of your staff!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.698)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.698) out of 10 for Kids Planet Hall Lane is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.698 for Kids Planet Hall Lane is calculated as follows: ( (256 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 298 Ratings = 4.698

  • 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 Hall Lane is based on 23 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 23 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.
