  • Kids Planet Halton, Leeds
A purpose-built nursery offering a stimulating learning environment for babies and children up to the age of five years.

The team of friendly, highly qualified staff aims to support parents in the care and education of their children while following the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), enabling children to build positive relationships and progress as individuals in a supportive environment.

Children are cared for in developmental and age-appropriate rooms for babies, infants, toddlers, and pre-schoolers. Staff wait for children to reach certain developmental milestones before moving them through the rooms, rather than doing so according to age.

When my kids were enrolled in Sunbeams Day Nursery, we had only relocated from overseas and being a new environment, I was concerned about how well they'd fit in. All I can say is I am really glad we chose this nursery. My kids are always excited to go to nursery, and they both have a special bond with
their keyworkers and all the staff. They've made lots of friends, and I am always very at ease that they'd be taken care of each day I drop them off. The level of improvement in terms of social interaction, academics and politeness that I have seen in my kids since they started attending Sunbeams Day Nursery has been exceptional. The manager and the teachers are wonderful, and I say thank you for all the love shown to not just my children but to all the children at the nursery.

Sunbeams are fantastic with our son. He started in preschool, and he loves attending. The staff are great with him and the other children, and he has built great relationships. He talks about his day and how much fun he has had. He has a great relationship with his key worker, and the staff always check
in with us in the morning or evening. They put lots of effort into celebrating events in the year, and the Christmas show was fantastic. They meet all his needs, he is learning a lot. Highly recommend to other parents.

My little boy loved going to Sunbeams, and the staff always seemed very friendly and caring.
I think the outside area is lovely. I unfortunately never got to see the inside of the nursery, but this was due to the pandemic. I’m sending my daughter to Sunbeams Halton when she turns three, and I’m sure
she will love it as much as her brother did.

My son went to Sunbeams a few years ago and loved it! The staff are so lovely, even when we moved after he left the nursery. I now still commute and take my daughter; she loves it! I can't recommend Sunbeams enough. They go over and above for all children in every single stage.

My daughter's key worker really helped her settle into a nursery setting. She loves going to nursery and never wants to leave when we collect her.
All the staff and facilities of Sunbeams Halton are brilliant. They really have helped her develop into the vibrant toddler she is.
Thank you, Sunbeams

My daughter loves going to Sunbeams. She adores the staff and always has a great time. Even when she gets upset suddenly wanting to be home, they are amazing at cheering her back up.
They pay great attention and can tell when she is not herself and needs a bit of extra attention.
The nursery itself
is excellent at letting us know when they are doing different things for as simple as changing the displays and wanting pictures from home to their Christmas fair.

My son was at another nursery prior to this one, and I’m grateful I was recommended Sunbeams.

I really didn't want my little boy going to nursery so young (7-months), but I am so glad I did as he has developed so much in the 7-months he has been there. He is so happy when he arrives in the morning, and the staff are so friendly and thorough on the parent app. I would recommend to anyone.

My child seems to be thriving when at nursery. He has come out of his shell so much, especially being a baby born during Covid. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and kind; you always feel welcome when in the building.

My child loves it at Sunbeams Day Nursery. She’s settled in well, and happily talks about her friends and teachers all the time. The staff are all lovely, always welcoming and easy to talk to and get along with. We’ve never had a problem since my child has started there. I feel comfortable while my
child is at nursery as I get along with her teachers so well, and I know she’s in good hands. I’d happily recommend this nursery to anyone.

My 3-year-old has been coming to Sunbeams in Halton since he was a baby, and I cannot recommend the nursey enough. All the staff are fantastic and so accommodating. My son loves going every morning and is learning new skills every day. The transition of each class move upwards has always been seamless,
and the support I have been given with each milestone (learning to crawl, walk, talk, potty train etc) has been amazing. Thank you to everyone!

I am absolutely delighted with the progress my child has made and is making by attending this nursery. She enjoys going and has so much fun there. I love the variety of activities that is offered and they really do put the needs of that individual child first. At first I was apprehensive to send my
child but I know she is in great hands and I would highly recommend anyone to send their child there. There is never any judgment about where your child may be struggling in certain areas and the staff are always supportive, professional and friendly. I have nothing but high praise for everyone who works there.

We have seen our children flourish at Sunbeams Day Nursery (Halton). Each of our children made friends with other children and the lovely staff. Their social and speech skills have developed to be very strong and we feel Sunbeams Day Nursery (Halton) played a large part of this. A wonderful nursery.

My daughter attended Sunbeams Day Nursery (Halton) after it was recommended to me by a friend, she loved it from starting at two to leaving for primary at four. She cried for a while when being dropped off but staff reassured me every day. My other daughter started Sunbeams Day Nursery (Halton) in January
and again she sometimes cries but staff are fantastic with her and I know I can leave her at nursery and she is absolutely fine. Both children enjoy and enjoyed the different varieties of food that Sunbeams Day Nursery (Halton) serve a love and loved snack time. All the staff are so friendly and make you feel at ease leaving your child in the care of them. The nursery manager is fabulous and can always answer any questions you have. I’ve recommended Sunbeams Day Nursery (Halton) to a lot of my friends who all agree it’s the best nursery around. I wouldn’t send my children anywhere else now.

My son has been attending since he was seven months old. I was worried it might be too young as he needed a lot of supervision whilst so unstable but he was well looked after. He is now much more independent and stable on his feet but still needs plenty of supervision which he always has. All the staff
seem to know him well which is nice to know that everyone takes an interest, not just his key-worker. We're told daily about how he's been and also get occasional written reviews going into detail. He loves going to nursery, has lots of friends and enjoys all the different activities. They have a nice outdoor space which has been utilised a lot in the nice weather and he's loved that. The menu is really varied and has some healthy hearty meals which is great so I don't feel guilty if I don't have time to cook something interesting and adventurous, as he has a good diet there. I think they've handled the pandemic really well as there's been very little disruption. I really couldn't be happier.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.897)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.897) out of 10 for Kids Planet Halton 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.897 for Kids Planet Halton is calculated as follows: ( (183 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.897

  • 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 Halton is based on 17 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 74 number of registered child places is 14.8, which has been reached with 17 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

My favourite part about the job is developing a strong staff team through meeting the staffs professional training needs and making staff well being a priority.
