Excellent nursery. My 17-month-old has been attending since July 2019 and is so happy there! He's made great relationships and learnt so much. I'm amazed at his development!

Both of our children have attended Twinkles since we moved to the area in 2016. Despite being a smaller nursery with fewer facilities than the one our children attended previously the quality of care is much higher and the general feeling is much warmer and more genuine. Our children have been very
happy there and there is little we can fault with our overall experience. Management are always visible and our children have formed real bonds with their various carers, some of whom have been really excellent. Would happily recommend to anyone.

Our son started at the nursery in 2015. We chose Twinkles as it is a small and friendly nursery and they have their own chef who caters to our son's needs. All of the staff are friendly and welcoming.


The Nursery nurses work very hard to keep the children safe and happy and they enjoy different activities

each day such as playing outside and story time.


As parents, we feel we have gotten to know all of the staff who care for our son and they all make an effort to get to know him too and build genuine relationships which is extremely important to us to ensure he remains happy when away from family. I know staff will always phone if there are any problems or worries and the managers keep the nursery professional at all times.


Finally, staff always ensure that safety and security are paramount using the buzzer door system and again knowing each child and their family.


Thank you to all the staff at Twinkles for making it a place I know my son looks forward to every week!

My children have really blossomed at Twinkles and they both thoroughly enjoy their time at the nursery. The staff are very caring and attentive and provide lots of feedback on what your children have been doing and how we can help develop them further. They regularly go on trips to the surrounding area
and have lots of activities to keep them stimulated and interested in learning more.

Twinkles Nurseries Boston Spa provides fantastic care for my little girl. She is always excited to go, even to the point that she moans about the weekends because 'NO TWINKLES'. Every day she comes home with stories of what she's done (from leaf painting to Easter egg hunts) and the lovely dinners
that the chef cooks (apparently his paella is better than mine). The staff are a delight and our key worker is really informative/comprehensive on the recaps we get each day.
Overall, Twinkles Boston Spa has a great atmosphere and is a great nursery.

I was concerned about how my daughter would transition to the nursery after we recently moved to the area. I didn't need to. My daughter loves her time at the nursery in the preschool room. She is spoilt by caring staff and lots of engaging activities, indoor and out. She is encouraged to be herself,
explore, learn and have fun.

My daughter has been at Twinkles Nurseries Boston Spa for three years and is very happy and settled. She has been in the pre-school room for almost 18 months and although I was worried that this would seem a long time before reception she is thriving and is constantly challenged. The activities are
wide-ranging and fun. Staff take the time to really get to know the children and adapt their style and teaching approach accordingly. There is a genuine warmth in the room between the children and also with the teachers. The nursery is culturally diverse and the food is good and nutritionally well balanced.

My two children have been at Twinkles over a period of 4 years. I have always been really impressed with the nursery and all of the staff. There's evidently a lot of work behind the scenes, as well as front of house, and it shows. Well done, and thank you.

The staff are always really welcoming and from the first meeting it is clear how much time and love they invest in all the children.


My little boy started at 6 months old and the staff all made a potentially difficult transition very easy.


Daily feedback is clear verbally and in each child's book

and my little boy is thriving there.


We feel very lucky to have found such a lovely place to look after my son 4 days a week.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.791)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.791) out of 10 for Kids Planet Boston Spa 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 6 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 4.875 for Kids Planet Boston Spa is calculated as follows: ( (66 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.875

  • 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 3.916 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Boston Spa is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 95 number of registered child places is 19. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 19 = 0.316

  • 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.
