My child has been attending since age eight months and is now two and a half. The nursery has been consistently excellent. They were really sensitive and understanding in the difficult early days of settling in and went the extra mile to make my daughter feel comfortable. The staff are all loving and
seem to have a genuine bond with the children they work with. My daughter is excited to go and see her friends and the staff, and she always comes home happy, clean and well fed. I feel like I can trust them completely and am very satisfied.

Our son has been at Kinder Haven in Horsforth (term time) since Feb '16 and loves it!


The practitioners are passionate, caring and always able to offer advice and support. They are well experienced and actively work towards your child's developmental milestones. They provide age-appropriate activities

and lots of time to play (inside and outside). The staff communicate daily events on an online app, which enables parents to keep a check on what their child has done and eaten.


The nursery itself is very secure and people cannot enter without a fob or a valid reason to do so. Rooms are spacious, secure and well resourced with clean looking equipment. Corridors and rooms are kept tidy and are cleaned well. There is also a lovely outdoor area where children can play outside all year round. The walls display artwork that the children have done themselves or photos of them discovering toys/objects.


Meals are well balanced, nutritious and offer a wide range of different flavours.

My son has been at KinderHaven Horsforth since it opened in 2015. He's now three and in Brightstars, and loves it even more than the younger rooms! The rooms and outside space are fantastic, and the staff caring and engaging. He really enjoys his time there and always has lots to tell us about what
he's been up to. I've recommended K H to several friends and they've all been equally happy with the nursery. Whenever we've had anything to discuss, any minor issues with the staff, we have felt listened to and understood. The staff are great at keeping us informed about our son's development.

My child has attended Kinder Haven - Horsforth since she was eight months old and is now two years. The staff and environment are incredibly complimentary for a child to grow and explore. I'm especially an advocate of the EYFS syllabus followed by the nursery, and I've seen my daughter flourish in the
presence of her carers.
The nursery actively gets involved with calendar events and celebrations, often my daughter regularly brings home artwork and creative work she's been involved with.
Lovely nursery and happy I chose Kinder Haven.

We sent out eldest son to another nursery and we thought the service was fantastic but Kinder Haven is in a class of its own with regards to our youngest son.
Fantastic support throughout the company, owner, keyworker, manager and chef.
The building itself I can't fault and out must check out the
outside area.

The nursery has gone above and beyond for my son, he loved coming to nursery on a daily basis and is always excited to see the staff, they treat us like family and were always interested in what he has been up to at the weekend. The staff were always on hand if I have needed advice or support which
means a lot to me and my son.
The facilities are fabulous with an amazing outdoor area which my son called a park which they explore throughout the day with lots of activities that my son tells me about, sometimes he didn't want to come home!
The nursery is clean, bright and the food smells delicious, I could not ask for anything more. I would recommend for any parents looking for childcare!

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.
