Highly recommend this Nursery as the staff our fantastic, very caring and compassionate. My child really struggled to settle in and the staff went above and beyond to help her settle, as well as being very supportive to myself during such a difficult time. The learning skills and activities they provide
are excellent. The nursery feels very secure as you cannot get in unless you have access. They monitor this very closely.

I have no concerns with the nursery and the staff. My son took a few tries to settle in and the staff were very patient and understanding.
Since then my son has really loved it and enjoys going in.
A particular staff member uploads the learning story on the app with my son's progress which I really
appreciate.
She took time with my son to really help him settle, thanks.

the staff in the nursery rooms are always very pleasant, supportive and helpful. The app is great as you get information throughout the day about nappies, meals and activities- although not everything is uploaded or some days are hit and miss, however I understand how busy they must get so that's never
a problem and they provide a full handover when pick your child up. The meals are always varied and sandwiches are offered as alternatives if children don't like the choice.
The nursery host "stay and play" sessions every so often- this is a nice idea and we always try to go when we can
I do feel the nursery should offer open evenings with a chance to meet the new staff members when children are transitioning to the next class. I also know that children go to have fun, but the clothes need binning most days as they don't use bibs at meal times or aprons with painting activities, this is an additional cost

My daughter often feels upset when dropping her off at nursery but she is always welcomed by smiling faces and lovely members of staff who always put me at ease and ensure she is settled once she gets in.
The staff I have dealt with from baby to tots and now the toddler room have all been fantastic
and are such hard working caring people.
I am very happy with my little girls progress, the staff care about my daughter's development and do engaging activities every week to encourage her growth and understanding.
All updates are uploaded on the nursery App along with photos of what she is getting up to each day which gives me that extra comfort when I'm at work.
The food choices are brilliant as well, plenty of variation each week.


Thanks to everyone at Kids Planet

My son loves preschool room, loves all his teachers and friends. He doesn't have a bad word to say about nursery. It's great how much time they spend playing outside. The updates on the app are lovely to see what they have been upto and looks like the learning activities are so much fun. Staff are always
friendly and helpful to me. There are also lots of initiatives to help lower income families such as the coat swap scheme and the food bank scheme.

This is a fantastic nursery both my children, ages 3 and 1 are thriving, they get excited to go in and are happy playing when picked up. The staff are warm, welcoming and take a real shine to each and every child. The staff are really good at updating the app to show us what the children have been
upto that day and updating us on meals and nappy changes. The outdoor space allows the children to roam freely and explore using their imagination, the children are always outside too which I love.

My little boy started the baby room when I went back to work and I felt so at ease straight away. The staff are so friendly and thorough. They will send me little messages letting me know he's okay. The communication is great and the range of food he is eating in there is great. Thanks so much baby

My son had never really been alone with anyone but close family and was finding it hard to adjust even though he is so outgoing. The nursery accommodated him to do as many settles as he needed before starting his usual hours.
Now when we ask if he would like to go to school and see his friends, he
reply's 'yeah'.
We are happy with how much he is enjoying himself and this will stand him in good stead for when he starts school properly.
We also love as a family that we get updates about his day through the app. from photos to what food he has had to his nappy changes.

We could not be happier with KidsPlanet. We are first time parents and the reassurance we feel on a daily basis knowing that our son is so well taken care of, means the absolute world to us. The staff in the baby room know my son so well and are just truly wonderful with him. We can't thank you enough.
We love the app, seeing our son's daily photos gets us through the day.
Thank you so much for everything you do!

Our daughter continuously is developing and her key worker is fantastic. Our daughter loves all the staff in her room and is always happy to go in. Since joining her new room her language, empathy and just general attitude has improved so much and I truly believe the staff are helping our little girl
become the best and happiest version of herself.

Lovely nursery and nursery staff have been great settling the children in, especially in the rising 3's room.
I find that some of the office staff do not appear that friendly or approachable though.
My children have been happy and have had fun.

My daughter has been in the toddler class since September and has progressed so much in a short amount of time. The staff always have a lot of time for my daughter and will discuss how she is getting on both before class and after class. I have found that the staff have really helped me when it comes
to preparing my daughter for her new baby sister. My daughter's key worker is brilliant at keeping me up to date with how she is getting on with her skills each month and will always tell me things that need improvement so that we as parents can assist at home also.

Absolutely lovely nursery. Staff were fantastic, especially one staff member in particular. The level of support I received from her with my SEN children, I couldn’t have asked for better support, everything from EHCPs to additional funding was provided for my babies. Best decision ever sending them
to Kids Planet.

My son went to this nursery for two years beforehand he had never spent time away from me. I can not find enough good words to say about this nursery and its staff, they are amazing, my son is non-verbal they always went above and beyond with him from understanding him without his words to feeding him
when he only eats certain foods to helping me with forms, helping me get my son into a specialist school we would have been lost without them. My son would not be at the stage he is in life now without them. If I could have kept my son in this nursery till he was 16 I would have. I could thank them from now till the end of time and it would still not cover how grateful I am for the stuff they did for not just my son but me too. Amazing place, I cried my eyes out the day my son left even to this day we go past this nursery and my son gets excited thinking I am taking him there.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.906)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.906) out of 10 for Kids Planet Litherland 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.906 for Kids Planet Litherland is calculated as follows: ( (341 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 371 Ratings = 4.906

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Litherland is based on 31 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 105 number of registered child places is 21, which has been reached with 31 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
