Absolutely fantastic nursery. My child started here after attending another nursery. The staff at Altofts couldn't have been more helpful. They immediately put us at ease and we instantly felt at home. Every day at pick up my child he has the biggest smile on his face and cannot wait to tell us about
their day. The staff are absolutely incredible and also keep us informed on my child's day. Nothing this too much for them. I wish I had made the move for my child sooner.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My child moved to this setting in September 2024 after previously attending one of the larger settings in the group of nurseries. This setting is smaller and more intimate, which has helped my child's confidence massively, all of the staff are so lovely and attentive and you can see they work hard to
build great relationships with the children. This shows with how comfortable my child is when I drop him off and when I come to collect him and see him enjoying playing with his friends or sat in the reading corner reading a book with a member of staff. They always give a detailed handover of how your child has been through the day, what they have been up to and how they have eaten, as well as updating the app throughout the day too. The nursery facilities and outside space are great and always really clean. There is always lovely homemade meals served at meal times and healthy snacks offered throughout the day. My child loves this nursery setting and I'm very happy that we made the move.

My son started full time at 7 months, as I needed to return to work. We are pleased so far with the care from Kids Planet Altofts. Our son has allergies and this was a worry for me, but the app and staff communicate well in relation to this.
All staff are friendly and helpful on pick up and drop off
and he seems to have settled well. It is nice to receive the app updates of him getting opportunities to play and learn in a different way and he genuinely seems to be thriving.

The nursery really do put the children first! They listen to all parents' requests and they care for the children. The staff are always smiling and happy and very informative about your child's day. They seem to have great creative activities set up daily for the children. My children really enjoy their
days at nursery. The staff encourage the children to get the most of their time there, staff keep parents in the loop every day!

Our experience with Kids Planet Altofts has been exceptional. From the day my daughter came to this nursery, the experience has been wonderful and she thoroughly enjoys her time there. They have always been so accommodating with settling her in at her own pace, and always being so smiley and friendly
so she felt welcome. They are so good at challenging her so she tries new activities and doing things she really enjoys.

They someone link that into educational values and adapt it to suit the other children in the setting. Exceptional service.

My son started at the baby bungalow in October and has come on leaps and bounds in all aspects of his development since starting. I was nervous at first leaving him when starting back work but the staff are lovely and really helped reassure me and ease my worry with regular updates of him throughout
the day. He loves nursery and is excited to be handed over to the nursery staff on a morning. You can tell they have a great bond. I would highly recommend Kids Planet, especially the baby bungalow.

My little boy has just started and although he has struggled to separate on a morning, seems to be settling in well. I haven't received many learning posts on the app so haven't seen much of what he is up to, but the app is clear to follow and easy to use. The social media page isn't updated much, including
information about meals/menus or term time dates. Posts about nappy changes/sleep/meals are uploaded hours after or sometimes they have been uploaded after he has been collected. Greeting on a morning often feels rushed. Communication and emails around fees are prompt and clear. The staff seem friendly and approachable.

The staff are all very attentive and remember what my daughter enjoys and likes. She only attends once a week so this really makes her feel welcome and settled in the environment.
Really happy with the constant updates on the app. It is lovely to see what your child is up to at nursery as it can be
quite daunting leaving them somewhere else.
Staff are always friendly and smiley at drop-offs and pick-ups.
The outside space is a big positive as many other units we went to look at didn't offer a space like this.
Whenever I have raised a query with the team they have always escalated it quickly and resolved it.

Since moving into the preschool room my daughter has been thriving and enjoying going. She has come on loads and is so sociable and looks forward to seeing her friends every week. I always get updates from my daughter's key worker about her day, what she's been up to, and what she's eaten throughout
the day.

Excellent staff who welcome the children and have a clear knowledge of all of the children and their individual needs. They always have time to update you on the days activities and any concerns or feedback on your child. The range of activities they provide for the children to be involved with is very
varied and it is wonderful to see the children's skills and knowledge growing all the time. It is a pleasure visiting the nursery and seeing happy children and such caring staff.

My daughter started Kids Planet Altofts in September 2024 in the baby hub. The staff are always really supportive on drop off and send regular updates throughout the day to make sure we know she's ok and happy. There are always lots of activities and play to keep her little mind busy. The management
has always been really quick and responsive to any queries we have. The hub staff are always really friendly if calling for an update via telephone and regularly update the app with how she is developing from birth to 5.

My Son attends Kids Planet Altofts. He transitioned extremely well as a child who'd just turned one and hadn't accessed any nursery provisions prior. He appears to love it, he gets excited to go and will even go towards the staff on arrival. He enjoys a lot of the meals prepared and I love that I can
see photos/updates of his day on the app they have. The provision has lots of areas and activities for the children to engage with. Communication has always been great. I absolutely loved the little gifts that the nursery helped my son make at Christmas time. I have nothing bad to say about the nursery.

The staff have been absolutely lovely and amazing with my child, they have taught her an incredible amount whilst she's been in this setting. She's so happy through her time whilst she's there and have made plenty of friends. The staff are super welcoming and my child loves to spend time with them during
the time that she is here. The staff has made my child so much more confident in doing tasks and I have really seen a huge difference in her behaviour.

Whilst pregnant with my 2nd child and after, the team at Kids Planet were always very supportive of the changes and emotions that my eldest child (who attends the nursery) would be going through with the arrival of a sibling. They can't do enough for you and go the extra mile, even something as simple
as a cup of tea and a friendly chat. I can't recommend the nursery enough. They always keep you informed of what's happening and what your child's been doing through the day. My eldest absolutely loves it there and I've already got my youngest a place there. Thank you Kids Planet Altofts.

So far I am really happy with Altofts Kids Planet Nursery. My son enjoys going, he loves his teachers and other children. I like how much he eats when he is there as he is way more fussy at home. The new app is great as there is a lot more information on it and no need to do a full handover on pick
up.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.655)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.655) out of 10 for Kids Planet Altofts & Out of School Club 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.655 for Kids Planet Altofts & Out of School Club is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 249 Ratings = 4.655

  • 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 Altofts & Out of School Club is based on 19 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 19 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.
