Our son started at Hillside Childcare in September 2021 and he loves it! The staff here work incredibly hard to ensure our little ones have so much fun every day as well as learning. They often use the children's interests to incorporate them into activities which is such a lovely idea. Our son has
come on leaps and bounds starting here and would honestly recommend them to anyone. A child starting nursery can be so daunting but the ladies here made it such an easy transition not just for our son but for us parents too.

Thank you so much for the lovely review. Being a part of Hillside is about looking after the child but also reassuring parents too and making you feel at ease when going off to work!

Wasn't too sure about not being able to go into the nursery when my child started (due to covid) but everyone made it easy for him to start. He has come out of his shell by being at Hillside Childcare and is constantly learning.

Reply from Aaron Loveday, Nursery Manager at Kids Planet Altofts & Out of School Club

Thank you very much for your review, we are so pleased we were able to make the first transition easy especially around the Covid guidance. We are so happy to have our families back inside with us now too!

The best nursery! All the staff are so friendly, trustworthy and professional. My little boy always comes home happy! My little boy had attended this nursery for quite a while and I’m so glad I chose this nursery. They have been nothing but nice and helpful. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.
His key workers are fantastic. He adores them and always attends nursery with a smile on his face.

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.
