It's a good nursery. The staff are nice. They are very good at making sure my daughter's needs are tended to. I think the food should be free and although we have taken pack lunches to the nursery, my daughter is getting to an age where she should be encouraged to eat the same things as the other children
as she does not each much and we feel like the money we pay for the food is wasted.

much!

This is our second child which we have sent to Kinder Haven Ltd @ Wakefield Road and the standard of service has always been outstanding. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Our child always returns home with a smile on his face and has interesting stories to tell.

My son has attended Kinder Haven Ltd @ Wakefield Road for the past few years and is now ready to start full-time school in September. He is a very shy child and has struggled with his speech. He has now grown in confidence and his speech has improved greatly thanks to the help from the staff in 'Brightstars'.

My daughter attends Kinder Haven. The staff are friendly, pleasant and give regular updates. The manager will chase outstanding issues up e.g. payment queries. I am pleased with my daughter's progress and her learning/development has picked up by being there.

Kinder Haven is a lovely nursery. Its location was very important to us because we live and study close to it and it's ideal being centrally located. The staff are wonderful and very welcoming. My son was able to settle very easily. As we are new to Bradford it was extremely important to us to find
a nursing environment for our son. The staff provide lots of information on the day to day activities and development.
Even his dietary needs were attended to in a lovely way with his key person going out of her way to involve him in the children in need cake sale by sourcing an egg free cake recipe and baking a batch so he wasn't left out. I am extremely happy and highly recommend Kinder Haven to other parents.

I was really apprehensive about my son starting nursery, but all the staff were really friendly and reassuring that everything would be fine. In the two months he has been at Kinder Haven, his development has come on extremely quickly.
On a daily basis, all the staff are friendly, helpful and informative.

I love this nursery and staff. I feel comfortable leaving my child with them.
I moved away quite far and was going to change her nursery but decided against it. My child is so settled and happy here.

My daughter really enjoys nursery and has progressed so much in all areas since being in the nursery. Staff are really friendly and approachable and communicate really well regarding praise, progress and also things that need dealing with.
Really stimulating for my child and at home, she's sharing
what she is learning.
Really happy with my daughter in this placement.

This is a fantastic nursery. All the girls that work there (including the dinner lady) are all lovely and very welcoming. I dreaded sending my little boy to nursery as he was so clingy, but they made it so easy, he bonded with the girls straight away. He now asks to go to nursery because he loves his
"teachers" and all the activities they do. The staff have even helped him with his fussy eating, he now more or less eats anything put in front of him, where as before he refused 90% of foods. I will be sending my little girl here soon with confidence that she will flourish just like her brother.! I honestly couldn't recommend the nursery and staff enough ??

It's so hard being a working parent, trying to maintain a clean, tidy home whilst feeling guilty for returning to work and leaving your kids in the care of others. However this is not so much an issue for me, my little boy is excited on the days he attends nursery, he rushes out of bed on a morning
and can't wait to get there. I go to work knowing full well he's being looked after, he's being stretched and challenged and that he is being encouraged to do well. His nursery nurse makes me feel like he is the only child she is caring for when I pick him up - she tells me about his ups, his downs and his funny moments.

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.
