Kids Planet Salford opened in August 2014 and was rated Ofsted 'Outstanding' in 2015. This purpose-built nursery is located on the corner of Eccles Old Road and Langworthy Road and in close proximity to Media City, Salford Quays and Manchester City Centre.

The nursery benefits from four open plan rooms with direct access to safe and secure outdoor play areas, offering children an exciting area in which to play outside. There is also a separate roof terrace playground for preschool children.

All children at the nursery have access to a sensory room, which offers children a relaxing environment in which to explore the different textures and light forms.

Meals and snacks are freshly prepared by a qualified nursery chef on the premises who caters for their individual needs. The chef operates a six weekly menu.

Access into the nursery is through a state-of-the-art finger print entry system; all internal doors are staff key fob operated and each room and outdoor area has CCTV. The nursery also has an intercom system as standard, ensuring that each child's safety is paramount at all times.

Such a superb learning environment for our child. The staff are great and many have supported our daughter since she started when she was 7 months old. Now she is three years old we feel that her speech, her interactions and education was been thanks to the hard work and dedication of the kids planet
Salford staff.

It is a great nursery. I feel confident that my child will be well taken care of when I drop her off. This in turn allows me to go about my day/work without having to worry. The staff are all welcoming and you get the sense that they genuinely care about the wellbeing of the children. My daughter had
been with a previous nursery before this one and I had to move her due to personal reasons so I was apprehensive and worried whether I was making the right decision. I can't say I regret it. During each pickup they give us a summary of what she has eaten during the day, her naps and just overall how well her day was spent. I particularly like this. Her key person is always lovely and welcoming.

My guardian son has only been here a few months and in this time he has become a confident little boy, he is very happy and he is happy to leave us knowing he will be safe. I use the app every day and this is so easy to navigate and as a family we appreciate and respect the staff a lot, they are very
friendly and if there was any issues they would tell us straight away, my grandson was going to a different nursery and knowing how they are with my son my grandson has moved here also. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone, my son has another 2 years here before big school and I'm so happy that he is going to have them in his life. Thank you for looking after my son and grandson as much as you do, you are all a part of their young lives.

The best decision we took for our baby was choosing Kids Planet Salford for her nursery. Staff are really friendly and very supportive! From baby room, as our baby was only 8 months and 3 weeks old when she first started. Now she's in tots room and doing very well. My baby's key person is also great
and a very nice person and my baby knows her so well! She knew and met her from baby room, and when my baby got moved to tots room, her now key person was there and it really helped her settle in with the other staff as well.

Great range of activities and trips out as my child loves them. Good opening hours and flexibility in booking sessions. Really friendly staff and a brilliant manager who will always try her best to resolve any issues raised with her. Slight negative is the large class sizes, where it seems the staff
are overstretched by the number of kids in the room, so get a little less time as they provide more support to SEN children due to goverment funding issues. On the whole, a good nursery. Purpose built with facilities such as a sensory room which my child loves.

One of the best nurseries I have used, my daughter loves it, always comes home smiling and happy! The nursery have been amazing throughout the last 18 months supporting us with changes in dietary requirements at short notice and also the level of support my daughter has received with her development
and speech delay, really couldn't have asked for better, thank you to all the staff.

We only have experience with the toddler room staff, the manager and the Senco but they've all been wonderful with our daughter. We tried another nursery a year prior and our daughter didn't do well at all, but she's really flourishing here and we've noticed a huge change at home with her as well. It's
really nice when we get updates during the day on what she's been doing and eating and getting pictures of her as well. We would highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter loves nursery, she is always smiling and roaring to go in and enjoy her time at nursery. She loves the staff in the tots room and always comes home smiling and happy. I can tell she is well cared for and happy and comfortable in nursery. I get daily updates and a phone call if she has fell
or hurt herself. The staff are always kind and helpful in anything I need and prompt to help with anything I need. Working in a school, nursery have accommodated my working hours to term time only which has helped me massively. I appreciate the nursery more than they will know and will be gutted when she’s old enough to leave and attend big girl school. Thank you to all the staff, you’re amazing and the best team for my little girl!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.654)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.654) out of 10 for Kids Planet Salford 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 20 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 4.873 for Kids Planet Salford is calculated as follows: ( (210 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 236 Ratings = 4.873

  • 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 4.781 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Salford is based on 20 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 128 number of registered child places is 25.6. 20 Positive Reviews ÷ 25.6 = 0.781

  • 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.
