  • 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.

Lovely nursery. My kids are really happy there and the other kids look to be as well. The staff are friendly, consistent and they seem to know all the children really well. They keep us updated on what the kids have been up to both verbally and with photos and reviews. There are a lot of children packed
into a small space but they utilise the playground well and it doesn't seem to bother the little ones, they get plenty of attention so it doesn't worry me.
Kids are well fed and given plenty of healthy snacks, which is particularly important to my absolute tank of a son who must have upped the food budget considerably.

My third daughter is currently attending Sunbeams Day Nursery (Halton). I think that statement alone is testimony to the trust I have in the team at Sunbeams Day Nursery (Halton). They are part of our extended family, providing care, support and security to our children.

Both my children have attended Sunbeams Day Nursery (Halton) since twelve months old. My youngest is currently in preschool and getting ready to transition to primary school. Sunbeams Day Nursery (Halton) has brought so much out in my children in terms of their social and educational development. My
youngest loves attending and always has lots to say about the activities he has completed and the friends that he has made. The staff all know the children and their needs very well and provide a safe, happy environment for the children to grow. Thank you.

My little girl had been attending Sunbeams Day Nursery (Halton) since she was eleven months old and is due to leave in the summer to start school. This is going to be a sad day for all of us she has loved every single minute and had the best time learning and playing.
All the staff at Sunbeams Day
Nursery (Halton) are amazing and you can see by how happy the children are that they care and the children are looked after to the highest standard.
Thank you to all involved, Sunbeams Day Nursery (Halton) is the best nursery around!

Our daughter has been going to Sunbeams Day Nursery (Halton) since her first birthday and it has been a wonderful experience. She really enjoys going and loves all the staff, who have been incredible at helping her confidence grow and make some lovely friends. Her ability in so many aspects of her life
has been down to the support and patience of the key workers and staff and she is now well prepared to start school in September. The management and communication, particularly throughout the pandemic has been fantastic and we have always felt in safe hands. We will be really sad to leave nursery but forever grateful and excited for our next chapter! Thank you to all at Sunbeams Day Nursery (Halton).

My son has loved every minute of his time at Sunbeams Day Nursery (Halton). Since he started in 2019 his development has come on leaps and bounds, he's thrived and is now a confident chatty three year old and will start school next year. The care he's received at Sunbeams Day Nursery (Halton) has been
outstanding and we have no hesitation about sending his sister to the baby room in August.

My son started at Sunbeams Day Nursery (Halton) this year at around eleven months old. I was very nervous, like most parents but with the added complexity of him having spent his entire life with little interaction with other children and adults due to Covid-19. He settled in at Sunbeams Day Nursery
(Halton) instantly, we’re so pleased we chose there. The girls who look after him are lovely and he’s built a great relationship with his key worker. They take the time to tell you how he’s been that day and what he’s done when I pick him up which is great. He comes home so happy and his development in the short amount of time he’s been there is incredible. The app is ideal for seeing how they’re getting on when they’re there, especially for those with younger ones who want to see how naps are going! I would recommend Sunbeams Day Nursery (Halton) to others without hesitation.

Every single member of staff here are fantastic. My little boy absolutely loves going to nursery and he has come on so much. He runs in when he gets there on a morning.
The app is brilliant, especially for parents to keep you updated and so you can see how your child is getting on throughout the day.
During the times at the minute with the Covid-19, every staff member has remained professional, kind, caring and supportive given the stressful situation everyone is in. The support/help I have received from the manager has been fantastic. She has really helped in what are stressful times.
The girls who look after my little boy are brilliant. Always polite, friendly, willing to go that extra mile and always there to help.
Can’t fault this nursery, it’s brilliant! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to parents and our children.

Both my son and daughter attended Sunbeams Halton. I cannot fault anything about our time we have spent there, my daughter will leave in August ready to start school and I will miss it so much. Sunbeams has been such a big part of mine and my family's life for 6 years and I dread the thought of my youngest
leaving. I cannot thank the manager and the rest of the girls enough. The BEST nursery ever.

We LOVE Sunbeams at Halton! Our little boy has been in the baby room since he was 9 months old and it's such a friendly, welcoming place.


His development has been fantastic in the last few months, and he loves the outdoor play, the messy activities and the fantastic staff who care for him so well.


We

get daily updates on his progress as well as photos and artwork. It means the world to us to be able to go to work knowing that our boy is happy with his Sunbeams family.

My son has been with Sunbeams Halton since he was 7 months old and although it was a very difficult decision leaving him quite young, his care was outstanding. His 1st key worker was amazing with him and I shed a few tears when he moved up as I felt so secure leaving my baby boy with someone who treasured
him as much as I did. His development has come on leaps and bounds and he is loved by so many of his friends in his current room as well as the staff. The environment is clean and well thought out as are the activities. The staff are really friendly in every room I have encountered and very professional. There is a super atmosphere from the moment you walk in and they know every child by name. Little touches make a huge difference. Well done all at Sunbeams Halton.

My son joined Sunbeams at 10 months old and has loved it since the beginning. Now in infants I often struggle to get him to leave as he has such a bond with everyone. The staff are fantastic and always happy and welcoming. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Sunbeams to anyone.

My son has attended Halton for 2 years and now my daughter, I trust the staff 100% with my children, they are all very warm and welcoming and go the extra mile to ensure both my children and I are happy.
I can not fault any aspect of the nursery, the setting is always clean and well prepared for the
day, the children have a great range of activities and events each week and they get a nutritional meal ever day.
My only wish is that my children didn’t have to leave for school!

My son absolutely loves coming to nursery he’s becoming since he was 7 months old. All the staff know his name and always make an effort to interact with him. He has many friends at nursery and always enjoys his time in nursery. He gets a wide variety of food, he eaten some stuff that he wouldn’t get
to eat at home.

Sunbeams staff have looked after our child well. They are very friendly staff who have bonded. The nativity was impressive and there are times when fun things happen like Gruffalo themed food and cooking in the classroom. The food is excellent. The chef has great relationships with the children and
provides nutritious meals.
Some things I feel could be improved:
- staff turnover and explanations to children. There have been a number of people leaving, some of whom have established close relationships with my child and it was not explained to him or us.
- outdoor space - this is being looked at so hopefully will improve but it’s a small and pretty uninspiring environment. Really welcome efforts to create natural features and use nature as an approach to learning.
- the size of the room is small for the amount of children which makes a noisy and cramped space.
- on pick up there are times when staff are unable to tell us what he has done that day.

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

Joined: 2013

I have worked at Halton since 2013 and progressed in my career from Senior Nursery Nurse to Nursery Manager.
I am married with 2 boys age 4 and 9 who both attended Halton.
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.
I take great pride in developing strong, positive relationships with our families and parent partnership is something I feel very strongly about.
My favourite thing about early years is how every day is different and watching each child develop in their own unique, individual way.
