Our little boy has been attending the nursery on a term time only basis since he was ten months old. We couldn’t be happier with all areas of the nursery, the staff have been fantastic and super smiley and friendly! They have really got to know him and he absolutely loves going.
He has tried all sorts
of foods that he wouldn’t have done at home and has met lots of pals. It’s been great for his confidence and he has huge smile on his face at drop off times. We have recommended it to lots of our friends and feel so lucky that our nursery experience is how it is. Thank you.

My little girl has been attending the nursery for over five months now. It didn’t take her long at all to settle in and now she happily waves me off at the door. She loves her key worker. The parent zone system means I can check on what’s been going on during her day, it's also nice to get pictures/videos
of her enjoying the activities.

My son has been going to this nursery for nearly two and a half years. I feel he has benefited from being in a nursery care setting rather than a childminder as he is socialised with other children and has made friends with his peers and has built great relationships with the caregivers in his room.
The facilities are perfect to help with the children's development and are age appropriate. The managers do a great job and have kept me informed of my child's progress. They spend their time supporting the caregivers and the children in their rooms, which is reassuring as they are getting to know your child. It is a fantastic nursery and would highly recommend it to other people.

So happy with how my little boy has settled into Kinder Haven. I went to view a couple of nurseries prior and I knew as soon as I visited my child would be happy here. Couldn’t fault them, he is progressing wonderfully and loves all the staff.

Our daughter has been attending Kinder Haven in Horsforth since January 2018 and we couldn't be happier with the care she has received. All members of staff, from senior management to the cleaners, are always consistently polite, courteous and extremely helpful. The nursery itself is very good, it has
everything the children need to keep them happy, safe and well looked after.
The staff that work at this nursery are by far the best I have ever seen in any nursery, you can see they love the job they do which is seen through the care that is given to the children. I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a high standard of childcare without comprise.

Our son has attended the nursery for over 18 months and they have always been fantastic with him.
The facilities are great but the best thing about Kinder Haven is the staff. They are energetic, attentive and so caring. My son adores them and it will be sad when he leaves and I know he will miss them.

My twin boys have been going one day a week to the nursery since November last year when we moved house and absolutely love it. The staff are wonderful and I really feel that the boys are in safe hands and their development and care are in the forefront of everything they do. The information updates
you receive on the ParentZone app are great, so you get a clear understanding of what they have been doing etc that day. So happy that we decided to put the boys into this nursery.

I cannot fault the level of care my daughter receives at Kinder Haven Ltd @ Wood Lane. All of the team know her by name even those who work in different rooms. I've found the team to be helpful and supportive. My daughter very much enjoys the time she spends there and the friends she has made, both
the children and the team too.

I have recommended this nursery to several friends. The staff are professional and caring. The individual needs of children are considered and children are nurtured through a stimulating and well maintained learning environment. Staff get to know children and their families to work together in partnership.

Kinder Haven Ltd @ Wood Lane is a great nursery! The staff are friendly and helpful and always available. They do so many different activities with the children, and every week my child learns new words/ dances/ songs and brings home some arts or crafts! She always enjoys meals, and they are very healty
and varied. I would highly reccomend this nursery if anyone is considering.

Kinder Haven is a fantastic nursery.
The staff are amazing. They are always positive and upbeat and will always highlight any concerns or issues. They have developed a very positive bond with my son.
The manager and staff are really accommodating - whether around additional days or dietary changes.
In addition, the nursery has great facilities, the outdoor space is amazing.

This is a lovely nursery with amazing facilities and wonderful, caring staff. They've been able to start cracking my daughter's extreme fussy eating, where her previous nursery wasn't. Our daughter also comes home with clean clothes nearly every day, despite doing all sorts of messy play; whereas, we
were constantly buying new clothes when she was at another nursery due to everything being destroyed by paint, which we thought was just part and parcel of nursery play.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.678)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.678) out of 10 for Kids Planet Horsforth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 21 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 4.964 for Kids Planet Horsforth is calculated as follows: ( (243 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.964

  • 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 4.714 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Horsforth is based on 21 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 147 number of registered child places is 29.4. 21 Positive Reviews ÷ 29.4 = 0.714

  • 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.
