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.

As a nervous Mum leaving her child, I was immediately put at ease by all staff members. The preschool couldn't be a calming and friendly place. All staff in there have made me feel extremely comfortable.
My son now settled so well and he can't wait to attend.
I can't express my thanks enough to
the wonderful staff here. Thank you.

My 1 year old daughter attends this nursery and she absolutely loves it. She is excited to go there in the morning and is always smiling when I pick her up. The staff are lovely and genuinely care about the children they look after. The rooms are stimulating, safe and clean. It is nice to be able to
go to work and know that my child is being well looked after while I am apart from her.

Our little girl has been going to this nursery for a year, we transitioned her here from another nursery after doing a tour with the manager and having the confidence that this was the best nursery for her in the area. They haven't disappointed, the staff are always friendly, professional, attentive
and thorough. The setting is lovely and they always have a jam-packed day of activities and fun events planned in. Handovers are always detailed and the app is one of my favourite things as I get updates whilst I'm at work on what she is up to. She comes home telling us all what a great day she has and since starting here her speech and emotional development has been exceptional. Big shout out to the staff who worked with her in the toddler room to work on her emotions. All the team are fantastic and I can't thank them enough. We are due to move out of the area and have already decided we will be keeping her here as they are the best. She also eats very well and we often turn up and want to stay.

My child joined Kids Planet Salford last year in April, I must say they are wonderful and highly professional, friendly staff, accommodating environment for the kids, my son settled in more quickly than I expected because he's mummy's boy.
Kids Planet is a place your child should be.

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.
