Really happy with Kids Planet Sale. The staff are what makes the nursery. They have ensured our daughter has flourished and really come out of her shell. They provide informed updates using the app and give detailed handovers at the end of the day. They helped us throughout our daughter's potty training
and ensured that she felt confident. They always provide support and go above and beyond to ensure the nursery runs as smoothly as possible. We are very happy with the entire service.

Kids Planet is a brilliant nursery! The staff and management are excellent and really committed to the children's learning and development. My daughter has been there since 9 months and has now left for school a very able and confident little girl. My second is starting next week. There have been no
issues and I couldn't recommend this nursery enough.

My daughters - between them - have been going to Kids Planet Sale for 5 years, and I cannot fault anything bout them.
They have been fantastic throughout, listened to my concerns about my daughters' development and assessed her accordingly - they made me feel like I wasn't being an overly concerned
mother, listened to my fears and dealt with all the paperwork. Thank you.
The manager (and her deputies) is diligent and organised and ensures smooth running. It's hard not to feel safe in her hands.
Overall, a fantastic nursery from baby room to preschool, they give the children what they need and help them develop and flourish in a very safe and warm environment. Excellent handovers each day, and my children both skipped in every morning knowing they had a day of fun ahead of them.
Preschool swimming lessons once a week, which saves a job for mummy and daddy, will hopefully start up again after a break over covid.

My son had his settling in session here in December. Although I had already paid the registration fee I received no further information from staff. I had to arrange the settling in sessions myself and received no reply from the manager in emails so had to chase them via telephone. When I arrived the
manager told me she didn’t normally work at that nursery which didn’t fill me with confidence. Also, the staff in the baby room weren’t aware that my son was even having a settling in session so again it felt unorganised. There were 10+ children in the room but most were walking so I felt my non-mobile 8-month-old son seemed a bit lost in a room with that many children. I didn’t feel some of the staff were particularly engaging with the children. In the end, I moved my son to an alternative nursery where there were only 6 babies in the room and the staff were generally much more nurturing and engaging.

We are grateful for any feedback and always welcome this to see what we can do better for all of our children and families.

I am very happy with this nursery. My son has been attending since he turned 10 months old. They keep you updated on the day, they will inform you of any concerns and help find a solution to aid the concerns they may have. It is a happy place and the staff are very friendly, welcoming and open to answer
any questions you may have, big or small. The staff are also very understanding and flexible. Great nursery and would definitely recommend!

First of June my second child born 2 weeks earlier so really struggling with first one’s childcare. Kids Planet Sale helped us with keeping her without booking and any time we asked them they were flexible. It was very stressful first days after lockdown but they made it easy for us. Thanks Kids Planet

Kids Planet in Sale is a fantastic nursery that I’d highly recommend. The staff are friendly and professional and the place has a lovely positive culture surrounding it.
The nursery did everything they could to help our two children settle in and build positive relationships with the staff. We are
kept up-to-date on our children and they are always kept busy in engaging activities that challenge them.

After reviewing 6 day nurseries in my local area back in June last year I was feeling dissatisfied and disheartened that I was going to find a great childcare provider for my newborn baby who was going to attend from 6 months of age. Kids Planet in Sale was the last on my list to visit. As soon as I
walked through the door I was welcomed by a fantastic team of individuals who took pride in their nursery. The children that attended looked really happy and comfortable and busy with varied activities and it was clear to me that the staff were fully engaged with children. The visit was so positive, that I knew I had found the right setting for my little one. My child has been in nursery for almost a year, she loves going the staff are brilliant and she is developing so well. The nursery is fantastic at communicating to parents in person, by email and via the app. I feel like my child has another family when I’m at work which is the best gift a parent can hope for. Thank you Kids Planet.

Great staff and nursery.


My son has been with this nursery since he was 9 months old. He has loved the nursery and transitioned through each room with no problem.


The staff know my son inside and out and have developed a great relationship with him and myself.
They are always asking for feedback

and contributions to any change.


I would highly recommend.

My little boy started in the baby room in January and I have been so impressed with the nursery. He settled in really well and the staff have all been brilliant with him. He’s made friends already and has recently moved to the toddler room. The settling in process to move him was brilliant and I know
he’s going to be happy there. He loves going to nursery and is always having fun when I pick him up. His speech is really developing well at the minute and he is learning new things all the time. I am really pleased I chose Kids Planet to look after my little man.

Since walking into this nursery for my walk around, I had a great feeling from when I was welcomed into each room and my son wanted to get down and play. The rooms looked like kids were having fun. Other nurseries we walked into, looked too rehearsed as they knew we were coming around.
After my child
had done 1 week at half days and 2 weeks full days in the baby room, he is happy to go to nursery.
The manager, senior leader and baby room staff have been so amazing making not only my son feel welcomed but I have also felt welcomed and at ease.
I am so happy that he is at this nursery and would recommend Kids Planet in Sale to everybody.

Kids Planet is a family nursery. Everyone is so welcoming and accommodating. They encourage you to get involved and seek guidance at any time. It’s nice to know I can call anytime to see if my little one is ok. It’s even nicer when you pick up your little one and they tell you that they have had a ‘good
day’.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.944)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.944) out of 10 for Kids Planet Sale 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.944 for Kids Planet Sale is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.944

  • 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 Sale is based on 18 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 83 number of registered child places is 16.6, which has been reached with 18 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.
