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.

The overall care and activities seem to be satisfactory to my child when attending. However, just recently I am feeling that hand over when picking my child up is very vague. I am unaware of what they have done in the day or the learning plan. It seems they just want to tell you what they have eaten
and that's it then. Although my child is happy and enjoys playing with her friends, I am concerned now that she needs to be on a learning plan and at the moment I am unaware of this. The menu at the nursery is great it is well rotated and updated sometimes they eat better than we do at home.

My little boy is 10 months and has been coming here for just over two weeks. He loves coming and doesn't even notice that we are going when we drop him off. He has settled in really well and has come on lots in such a short time. The staff are very lovely and nothing seems too much to ask. I like the
email updates about what is going on each month. I am very confident we made the right choice in picking here.

The magnificent team - I pay for quality in all fields which is the most important. My kids love Kids Planet Day Nurseries - Salford and I will recommend to anyone that asks. The overall is excellent from the manger to room leader and from room leaders to NVQ staff. The most amazing thing is that they
have a preschool qualified EYE teacher.

Kids Planet Day Nurseries - Salford provides a good opportunity for children to express themselves through outdoor/sensory/indoor and interactive play. The nursery staff get to know the children one-to-one with members of staff following the parents and child's wishes in dietary needs, care routine
and whatever it takes to make the child feel welcome, safe and loved throughout their time at Day Nurseries - Salford. Day Nurseries - Salford is always welcoming to questions, expanding their knowledge of cultures/religions and respecting each unique individual.

My daughter has been attending Kids Planet Day Nurseries - Salford since she was 11 months. They are unbelievably fantastic at creating the right approach and environment on a personal level for each child. My daughter is now in tots and every day she has an epic adventure. From singing nursery rhymes,
reading, playing outside, mud kitchen mayhem, creating, building sand castles, sensory calming activities the list goes on and on. My daughter really enjoys it and loves the staff. Thankyou.

My son has been attending this nursery from 7 months at one day a week to full time now and every stage of care has been excellent. It is evident that each member of staff and especially his key person(s) takes a keen and personal interest in his welfare and development and their observation work and
guidance to his learning had been outstanding.
I am very happy with each aspect of his time at the nursery and it has been a joy to see his personality grow and how he is forming relationships and friendships with the staff and other children.

Kids Planet Day Nurseries-Salford is a great place for your children to play and learn. My son started attending in March 2017, the staff are very helpful and easy to communicate with. The indoor and outdoor play areas have lots going on for all the children. The food provided is also good with a
varied menu and special themed days.


I would definitely advise any parent or carer to visit to see the facilities.

Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since attending Kids Planet Day Nurseries - Salford. We are always given a thorough run-down of what has been happening during the day, how much tea has been eaten and how many times her nappy has been changed.
The best testaments we can give to Kids Planet
Day Nurseries - Salford is two of our daughter’s reactions. When we pull into the car park and she realises where she is, she gets very excited indeed. Equally, when we have to drive past Kids Planet Day Nurseries - Salford on a day she is not due to attend and she realises where she is, she gets very upset!

At first, I thought this nursery was so organised and slick with policies etc that they'd miss the simple but important bits of child care. Not true at all...the basic day to day care is personal, thoughtful and kind.

The most important thing to me in a nursery is how happy my child is when attending. My son is in the tots room and he loves it! The staff are all extremely nice and very competent. Hand over in the morning and evening is smooth and the feedback we get on pickup is perfect. Communications sent out
by the management are good and regular. The centre itself is of a very high standard and maintained very well.


Overall, I'm extremely pleased we found Kids Planet Salford and look forward to my son moving up through the rooms.

My husband and I both work full time and we live 50 miles from the nearest family member, so when it was time for me to return to work following a very short 6 months maternity leave, we knew that we had to find a top quality childcare provider who could look after our daughter.


I can honestly say

that I feel extremely privileged that we stumbled across Kids Planet, Salford. The staff are friendly, highly trained and enthusiastic; my little girl just loves them all! She even asks to go to 'school' at weekends!


The children are offered a wide variety of healthy food and stimulating activities throughout the day. One thing that stood out to me about Kids Planet compared to other nurseries was the level of care and attention that the staff give each and every child, you can clearly see that children are put first every time!


This nursery is truly outstanding, I would highly recommend Kids Planet to any parent who is looking for high-quality childcare at an affordable price.

My little boy started at nursery when he was 9 months old. We had a bit of trouble settling him in but all the staff there are fantastic and helped him, and us, settle him in to his new environment.


He has since moved up into the toddler room and seeing him develop through the babies and tots room

his social skills have developed rapidly. The staff are very caring and make sure that he has everything he needs.

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.
