Both my children have attended Green Bank nursery and I have nothing but good words about it. My eldest has autism and it was the nursery that got the ball rolling on the paperwork and helping me in the right direction. Even though he struggled going there, on the days he attended the staff was always
so lovely with him and put my mind at ease that he would be okay. My youngest is still there now and he absolutely loves it he skips in and skips out. The nursery is very clean, the staff are all lovely and friendly, and the variety of food looks amazing. What more do you need to ask for?

Kids Planet Greenbank is brilliant! Both my children attend and have done since they were babies. The staff are brilliant, so friendly and reassuring and care about the children so much. Great range of activities they provide and my children love the food! Both of my children have really blossomed while
attending here and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

I'm really happy that I've chosen Kids Planet Greenbank for my son. All the staff are happy and enthusiastic and he walks in happy every day. The food seems really good and he seems to do lots of activities. The managers are really friendly and organised. They have responded to the constantly changing
COVID rules quickly, and whilst it would be nice to go inside the nursery when I drop him off and pick him up, the online parent zone website lets me keep track of what he's up to. I was a bit disappointed that as parents, we don't have access to the CCTV but it's good to know it's there.

Very welcoming and accommodating staff who have made our daughter's start to nursery a really happy one! Although the current restrictions have limited, our interaction inside the nursery the staff still take the time to give us a full update every day when we pick up and it has been really nice to
see our daughter so excited and happy when we take her to nursery! The staff have been friendly and try to keep communication up as much as possible with us as parents.

Staff are really nice and caring, my son seems to love going there as well. Unfortunately, I am not too up to date on the activities due to the new Covid rules so we wait outside now. Overall very happy with Kids Planet.

The nursery have been brilliant with our child, particularly with caring for her during the lockdown. They have been very accommodating of her allergies and eczema. The staff I have met, are kind and friendly. My child never wants to come home at the end of the day so I guess this means she enjoys it
as well.

My son has been at Kids Planet, Greenbank for less than 7 months and I couldn’t be happier. The staff are just amazing. Throughout the whole pandemic, they have been outstanding and always put the kids needs first. They held our places and said to ring if we needed support. My son is extremely happy
there and I feel very happy dropping him off for his three days a week. Very happy parent.

Kids Planet has been absolutely brilliant with all the chaos, since coming out of lockdown. My toddler is always so excited to go to nursery in the morning and the staff are great at keeping us up to date about what she’s been up to. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nursery place.

Very well run nursery, where my child is very happy. The only area which I think can be improved relates to drop off and pick up procedures which were recently changed so that pre-school children use a separate entrance to other nursery children. This can quite often result in having to wait a long
time to either pick up or drop off my child (who is in pre-school) compared to previous COVID pick up/drop off procedures.

Very pleased with the nursery. My child seems to love being there. Very friendly staff and good communication with us. Love the parents' app to see how she is getting on. Great, healthy meals and variation of flavours. Good range of activities and staff update us on what they are getting up to.

My daughter absolutely loves nursery and I’m very happy to send her there. She has made excellent progress with her milestones and often tells me what she’s been up to during the day. She can’t wait to go back the next day. I enjoy all the observations on the parents' website and also being able to
check in on the nursery cam gives me added reassurance that she’s having a great time. I used to have a look a lot, especially when she first started. She loves all the staff there. I feel much less anxious about sending my younger daughter when the time comes. Thank you.

Greenbank Nursery really is like a home from home for my son. The staff are like an extension of our family and the relationships they have with all of the children is heartwarming to see.
I always feel at ease leaving my son in their care and I know they'll always do their best to support all aspects
of his development. He has been at the nursery since just under six months and has thrived there. The quality of care has been consistently outstanding throughout his journey through each of the rooms within the nursery. The way he talks about the staff is a true reflection on the nursery itself.
I really like the access to the outdoor space that he has at Greenbank. He also enjoys the trips out that he goes on (I hear all about them on the way home whenever he goes out).
The food is always freshly cooked on-site too... the only downside to this being that he has become a food snob and "only likes nursery's lasagne"...so I may need a food cooking lessons to up my game, hehe!

Highly recommend this nursery.
Staff are highly attentive and leverage a highly varied array of activities to engage the children.
Lots of outdoor activities (for example, trips to the nearby park) and they have a great garden attached directly to the nursery.

We had two children in the nursery and the staff were generally excellent, both of our children excelled developmentally, academically and socially. However, we were disappointed at how expensive the nursery was and the fact that children had to take public transportation during visits out. As an Educational
Practitioner, I found that somewhat strange. Also, the car park was an issue in terms of entering and leaving the nursery. Nonetheless, both of our children enjoyed their time at Kids Planet and for kids, it’s an amazing place.

Reply from Amber Salmon at Kids Planet Greenbank Park

Hi,
Thank you for your lovely review.
We do feel that our price reflects the inclusive approach we have at Kids Planet Greenbank that we provide formula, bottles, wipes, Sudocrem and Sun Cream so parents don’t need to bring these items with them. Our meals are highly nutritious and freshly prepared on-site using no jarred sauces and no added sugar or salt and have recently been highly commended by Nursery World. We offer additional services such as takeaway coffee for parents and a French teacher, sign language teacher and Actiphons all free of charge for parents. We have a highly qualified staff team with two qualified teachers and two additional training towards this within our preschool team.


For our trips out following the Early Years Foundation Stage within the nursery we view using public transport as a fantastic learning opportunity covering sections such as people and communities , mathematics with exchanging money for tickets and also an excellent way of learning new life skills for children who wouldn’t usually get the opportunity to travel by bus and train.


Our car park is busy during peak times between 8.00 - 8.30 and 5.00 - 5.30 when the majority of children are collected but as long as you allow a little bit of time around this there are spaces to park.

I cannot fault the nursery at all. I feel that all the staff are very friendly, approachable and caring. My eldest daughter has come on leaps and bounds since attending the nursery and my baby is also coming on great. Both my children look forward to their days in nursery and are happy to go in. The
manager and deputy manager have always been so lovely and are both very professional. I would recommend this nursery as it has lots of potential for your little ones to progress academically and be ready for school, but also because of the lovely team of staff they have and you can always be relaxed knowing your children are in great hands.

Our son has attended this nursery since 5 months old and is due to start school in a few weeks.
We have all had an amazing experience at this nursery with our child learning and growing so much over the years. The care and dedication of all the staff is of the utmost and we have felt like he’s been
part of a family since day one. The communication and commitment from the staff is excellent as are all the facilities, meals etc. We have recommended the nursery to friends who’s children now attend and will continue to do so after he leaves.

The staff are lovely here and my little boy has a great time. He loves the outdoor area and the opportunities for messy play. I appreciate that the staff always make time to speak to me if I have a concern and never seem to be judgmental. The food sounds fantastic and my little boy always eats everything,
unlike at home! He learns a lot at nursery and always has new words, songs or actions.

I am very happy with the progress our daughter has made since being in this nursery. The staff are always very helpful, informative, vigilant, friendly, patient and most of all, caring towards the needs of our children. I am confident that my child is being provided with the correct care regarding safety/health/diet/love
and educational needs. The girls are absolutely fantastic and do a wonderful job.
The only thing I am hesitant about is the cost, I personally think it is rather expensive but as long as our daughter is safe, healthy and happy then we are happy.
Thanks for doing the best for our children!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.750)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.750) out of 10 for Kids Planet Greenbank Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 55 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 54 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 4.750 for Kids Planet Greenbank Park is calculated as follows: ( (523 Excellents x 5) + (112 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 657 Ratings = 4.75

  • 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 Greenbank Park is based on 54 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 141 number of registered child places is 28.2, which has been reached with 54 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.
