  • Kids Planet Castle House, Warwick
Castle House Day Nursery, Warwick is extremely proud to hold an Ofsted rating of 'Good' (January 2022) offering both full and part-time childcare from 3 months to 5 years.

Practitioners are chosen with the main aim of providing a safe, secure and encouraging environment for children to develop and learn through play. They are caring, committed and fun, always interacting and valuing every child uniquely.

The team look to discuss regularly with parents and make detailed accounts of each child's learning progress as they advance towards full-time education, using a popular early years app to communicate with parents and carers.

The nursery has age-related rooms, a sensory room and a ball pool/soft playroom.

The nursery has an incredibly large outdoor space with different areas both fun and educational.

Castle House also has a designated garden area for Sheldon, the nursery tortoise where children get involved in helping to care for him and discussions on the healthy food that he eats.

There are regular visits in and around the historic town of Warwick.

A really wonderful setting with members of staff that are not only professional, but really caring and nurturing towards the children. My children have always come home so happy after an engaging and fun day at nursery.

My stepdaughter loves her time at Castle House Day Nursery where she gets involved in a range of activities. She has built great friendships and we can enjoy a range of events where parents/carers can join too. She loves the staff and the staff are caring, patient and genuinely care and want to help
her strive. There are too many staff to name individually but every single one, from the management team to the room staff and cook, are definitely in the job for their passion and love of the job.

My granddaughter absolutely loves going to Castle House Day Nursery. When she's not there, at weekends, all we hear from her is, we do this at nursery we play that game at nursery. I know she is being well cared for and they are nurturing her for whatever comes her way. The management team are fantastic
and fully approachable with any questions we may have. Thank you Castle House.

Fantastic nursery and very caring. My son loves going especially the outside equipment. He’s developing really well. When his arm was in a cast, they helped him and wrote out a risk assessment. They have also been helping with the potty training.

Castle House Day Nursery is excellent. The staff are warm, kind and helpful and our daughter is very happy and settled there, I would recommend the nursery to anyone. I feel it will prepare our daughter ideally for school.
My only criticism would be this: are the ‘inset’ days really necessary? I have
two children and this is the third nursery we have used. At the other two, there was no suggestion of inset days, or closing the nursery in the week between Christmas and New Year. I would remind the nursery that they are providing a very expensive service and inset days feel like an unnecessary inconvenience for parents.
This is a minor quibble, though. The nursery is superb and we will all miss it when our daughter goes to school.

Such a lovely nursery, my daughter is always happy to attend and comes home with a big smile. All the staff are wonderful and really know the children, which makes such a positive impact. They also do so much each day and there are often things where parents can come in or see what the children have
been doing online.

My daughter has been attending Castle House Day Nursery since November 2021. She really enjoys her time there and thriving with their fun play and learning activities. The staff are amazing and friendly and I am really grateful for their genuine love and care for my child's wellbeing and development.
I also enjoy the regular updates of what they have been up to on the app. I would definitely recommend the nursery.

My daughter has been at this nursery since the beginning of 2022. She settled in well with all staff completely dedicated to her care. The management has an incredible vision for the nursery and we've seen this coming into action whilst my daughter has been attending. We love how much they involve the
parents. The royal event parties, family bonfire night celebration, and Mother's Day breakfast have been wonderful. As a pandemic parent they have allowed us to meet with the parents of other children my daughter socialises with.

We are so happy with sending our son to this nursery. He has settled in so well, and the staff in the baby room are amazing. Everyone is so caring and doesn't mind going the extra mile. From crying the first few weeks of settling in, my son is now smiling and running into the nursery. The team are like
family and keeps us updated throughout the day. Would highly recommend.

My son has only been going to nursery since January and only one day a week, but the progression he has made is very noticeable, especially in his speech.
All the staff are so friendly, including the management, and they know all of the children’s names; it just feels like there is a real personal
touch with this nursery.

Our child has recently started at the nursery and has settled in so quickly. The staff are so friendly and each morning he is more than happy to go to any one of the staff in the room. There is a lot of sensory play which he thoroughly enjoys.

We’re so happy with the set up and Team at Castle House Day Nursery. Our son has been there since he was 10 months old and he’s 3 in May so has spent considerable time with the team there. They’re very attentive and offer great daily activities and a broad meal selection which is important to us as
a family.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.853)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.853) out of 10 for Kids Planet Castle House 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 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.853 for Kids Planet Castle House is calculated as follows: ( (436 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 502 Ratings = 4.853

  • 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 Castle House is based on 42 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 106 number of registered child places is 21.2, which has been reached with 42 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.
