Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

During the last 6 weeks, I have been very happy with how my son is settling into the nursery for his 2 days a week.
The staff have been flexible with his routine, giving him milk before or after lunch and doing whatever works for him, to feed/settle or sleep and still offer more food when more settled.
I have called each day and get good feedback which I believed is honest whether he is upset or not.
I like my son having a specific keyworker, as this seems to settle him more and as she is getting to know him more he seems to respond to her.
Only annoyance is missing items, sometimes from his bag and then I have to collect them the next day. I'm sure this will settle down as they get used to his items. Also, I can't always read the writing on feedback forms and they could do with a more secure area for prams/car seats.

The Nursery have been great settling my son into their environment. He carries out the routine set at nursery at home as it suits him so well.
His language and skills are developing very quickly and this is in a big way due to the activities at the nursery.
I have noticed a dramatic improvement
in his development since starting nursery.

We have been so pleased with how the girls at Kinder Haven have been so kind and considerate while my daughter has been settling at nursery.
Every day we have had such lovely feedback and she seems to really love her time here!

As a mum of one who has never dealt with childcare/nursery situations before, I have been made to feel confident in leaving my child with "strangers" for the first time.
The staff have done everything possible to welcome her into a new environment, keep her active and stimulated and the great facilities
give her plenty to explore each day.


She absolutely loves the outdoor area and creative table which is available each day. I am hugely impressed with her meal choices and snacks given. I know every day she is learning and grown and having a lovely time :)

Really enjoy bringing my little boy to this nursery. He loves seeing everyone when he comes. He has a fab key worker and is always happy to see her. The nursery is always spotless and they have the best toys for him to play with. The toys are very high quality and always in perfect condition.

My granddaughter attends one full day every week. She loves coming. We get a full account of her day, what she has learnt and what she has enjoyed. She is always occupied when I arrive and always looks happy. We are extremely happy with the care she receives.

Since bringing my twins to Kinder Haven myself and my husband have nothing but praise for Kinder Haven. They have only been here since January and they have settled so well- extremely well. So much so that they squeal and jump with excitement when they enter the doors. The staff here are amazing and
cannot fault them, especially two staff. I'm so glad we chose Kinder Haven.

My daughter had built up a massive phobia about attending nursery, we had tried alternatives but really had a distressing time, I approached Kinder Haven in August as I started a new full time job. The initial email I sent was responded to promptly and the content reassured me that we would be worked
with to overcome my daughters fear. We have had an amazing result and my daughter absolutely thrives here. Her eating disorder has also vanished. The staff are thoughtful, Jolly, and very caring. I can honestly say they have supported me through some very testing times. Everyday my child comes home happy and well looked after. The Nursery has fab security fob access only. The nursery has amazing facility fab outdoor play and my daughter is now in Bright Stars which is helping to make an easier adjustment for when my child starts school in September. I am a particularly hard customer to please as I had a very bad experience with one of my older children whilst in child care. The fact that I am filled with confidence every day I leave her at Kinder Haven. We consider them family as the way they care about the children in their care comes so close to it! I cant say enough great things! every mother needs to feel they are doing their best for their children and for me this nursery is the XYZ factor of childcare! Keep up the great work and thank you x

Our daughter absolutely loves going to pre-school and I think that's the best indicator. I can honestly say that this is a wonderful nursery and the staff are amazing. They are genuinely interested in everything the kids are saying and what they are doing etc. Every morning we get happy greetings and
every time I collect my daughter I get a full feedback of what happened during the day, what she ate, played with and talked about. Just perfect. I wouldn't change a thing!

Staff are friendly and personable with my child. They know her likes and dislikes and make effort to get to know the children. Lots of interaction and messy play and singing and dancing to entertain my daughter and she is also learning a lot at the same time.

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.
