My daughter absolutely loves coming to Kids Planet Anchorsholme. When she first started, she was very tearful and upset when going. The baby room worked really hard with her and she absolutely adores coming to nursery now. She can't wait to get in! She is always busy and happy when she is there. The
team are so caring and loving and I know that my little girl is safe. She has come on leaps and bounds in the 3 months she has been attending and has learnt so many new skills.

After facing a price increase at my child's first nursery and being let down by another we contacted Kids Planet Anchorsholme where her brother attended. Don't know why we didn't come here in the first place. Easy to enrol, great facilities and my child fitted right in. Love it.

My child is currently in Tots and is really happy. He chats all about the ladies and tells me about his day with his friends. I'm really happy with how he has come on and he really loves coming to nursery. I'm really happy with the updates on the app and the photos sent, my child is happy, so I'm happy.

My daughter has been at this nursery since November 2021, she has always enjoyed going to the nursey. They have excellent facilities, allowing her to explore different areas and try new activities every day. She has developed a wide range of skills and abilities through the learning that has taken place.
The
staff at the nursery are always very friendly and have built a great relationship with my daughter, even the staff she doesn't see day to day in pre-school stop to say good morning and ask how she is doing. It is a very caring environment and children are encouraged to explore new activities and food choices.
Overall a great nursery setting.

Both of my girls have always been really happy to go to nursery and come out with smiles on their faces. The staff always seem to genuinely care about the children. Some staff members clearly go out of their way to create fun for the children and engage with the parents/guardians.

Mostly very good but more detail about progression and development would be valuable face-to-face. The menu needs to be a little more varied as well. The staff are always friendly, happy and very helpful. We are very pleased with the outdoor time that my child has on walks and in the garden and all
the activities that are provided. Lots of variety and marking the seasons and special times of year.

I am happy with how things are managed at the nursery. The staff are great and responsive to parents' requests. So far we have not had any problems. The facilities are very good and kids are exposed to many different kinds of toys and activities.

So, my little one has fantastic teachers. They are brilliant and the only reason my little one still attends. Be aware when looking around, they may not be in preschool but pavilion, which I was unaware of, and not happy about due to 8 coming in settling then being unsettled again to move over to pavilion,
but I have managed to start at 9, fortunately, to minimise the impact on my child.
I personally feel there have been a lot of changes over the last 18 months with different people taking over implementing their way of doing things then changing owners again then doing it another way. There is just no consistency in any information!
And a lack of basic things, which again is probably from so many changes!
Basic information like what they will be learning this term, how much sessions cost so on is being missed or they don't know. The communication is just not there.
From the nursery, compared to what I have seen from other nurseries that other family members attend and how it was before.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.646)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.646) out of 10 for Kids Planet Anchorsholme is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 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 4.974 for Kids Planet Anchorsholme is calculated as follows: ( (187 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.974

  • 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 4.672 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Anchorsholme is based on 16 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 119 number of registered child places is 23.8. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.8 = 0.672

  • 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.
