My children settled very quickly into Little Nutkins. All the nursery nurses make time to talk to me about the children, and my sons have bonded with their key workers so well I have complete faith in them. One key worker, in particular, is amazing with my boys, I honestly feel like she loves them.

My daughter loves coming to this nursery. She always has lots of fun and I’m kept up to date with the activities she’s taken part in through the Tapestry app.
She particularly loves the outdoor area where there is lots of space and fun activities to join.
The staff are friendly and welcoming and
really make it feel like a home from home.

My daughter leaves Little Nutkins this summer and although I’m totally not ready, she absolutely is! A bright, confident and excited little girl who is very much looking forward to her next chapter at ‘big school’. Thanks to all the dedicated colleagues at Little Nutkins for helping shape her growth
and development!

Fabulous nursery setting. My daughter has attended since she was 1 1/2 and has loved her time there. Nothing is too much trouble and she has learnt so much. I am proud to say my daughter attends Little Nutkins Nursery.

Little Nutkins has 100% been the right choice of nursery for my little boy. The staff work so hard and are so kind to the children. The setting is bright and friendly and I feel that the balance is great between free play and more structured learning.

Excellent nursery and pre-school. My eldest has attended from the first time it opened and loves attending twice a week. He is always talking about what he has learnt, his friends and the staff all the time. My youngest now attends also and loves it too. Staff always friendly and accommodating. Overall,
a fantastic nursery and pre-school. I know my eldest will be sad to leave in September ready to go to school.

My little boy has been at this nursery for nearly 3 years now. All of the staff are amazing and welcoming. They adore the children they look after. My son thoroughly enjoys his nursery days and doesn’t stop talking about it when he comes home. They are always doing different activities and always have
fun and learn lots of different things without realising it. I can’t recommend this nursery enough. I’m sorry he has to leave to go to primary school. We will both miss everyone there.

My 2 boys have attended Little Nutkins. I can’t recommend it enough. The care and love that is given is outstanding. They both have loved their time here and have built amazing relationships with the staff and their friends through outstanding teaching and play. My youngest leaves to start school this
year and we are going to miss Little Nutkins immensely.

My son has attended Little Nutkins from being six months old. Instantly, I felt comfortable with leaving my son there and he has thrived ever since. He loved the girls in the baby unit and now has just moved down to the "big boys and girls". The transition has been perfect and I know that my little
boy has an absolute ball whilst at nursery. I am constantly kept updated with pictures on Tapestry so I can see what he's been up too and also the staff always fill you on the day's events. Leaving your child can sometimes be very daunting but the staff here made it easier for me and I cannot thank them enough for that! Fabulous nursery with fabulous staff.

Both of my children attend Little Nutkins Nursery and they both absolutely adore it. They have both grown in confidence and they have also learnt so much during their time there. All of the children who attend this nursery are so happy and all look so comfortable in the home from home surroundings.
The staff are all incredible and really care for the children. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anybody. I'm so pleased my children attend Little Nutkins and are thriving on a daily basis.

My son started at Little Nutkins around the middle of last year and he has progressed so much since attending here. The staff really made him feel welcome and are very friendly and helpful if I have any questions. He really enjoys it and looks forward to going every day! He has made friends and has
fun as well as learning. I would defiantly recommend Little Nutkins to any of my friends or family.

The staff are so friendly and always greet you with a smile morning and evening (after a long day!) it’s obvious they all love their jobs!
I recommended the nursery to my sister and her daughter starts this week too! Thank you to all
at Little Nutkins! My daughter is currently singing Peter Rabbit and said “this one's from nursery mummy!”

My little boy has been attending Little Nutkins for the last 18 months. I have found the nursery facilities and more importantly the team to be fantastic! As a working mum thinking about leaving your baby is a difficult thing to contend with but the team at Little Nutkins took any fear and stress away
from this situation. The baby unit has been wonderful with lots of different activities, events and now we are downstairs, there are many different activities and opportunities to learn. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.

My little boy absolutely loves attending Little Nutkins and we could not be happier about how he has settled there. The staff create a nurturing environment where the children continually develop and are thriving. They are always looking at the next steps for how the children can progress and we are
informed through the assessment app 'tapestry'. We love seeing the activities he does at nursery and what he is achieving.
We feel that our son is very happy at Little Nutkins and that is because of the caring staff.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The quality of early years care provided is outstanding, with a high standard of infrastructure enabling a clear focus on both the physical and social/emotional development of my son. He clearly enjoys his time there and is thriving, developing so many new skills in such a short amount of time since
joining the nursery in January.
The activities in the baby room are varied and development-focussed (I value highly, the items he makes and brings home with him)
The care is individualised to make sure my son's needs are accounted for and the parental feedback/liaison is both in-depth and valuable.
I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough. The choice in selecting a nursery for our children is always a difficult one.
Both the staff at Little Nutkins and the quality of their provision has made sure my choice was one well made.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.780)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.780) out of 10 for Kids Planet Thornton 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.880 for Kids Planet Thornton is calculated as follows: ( (100 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.88

  • 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Thornton is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 9 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.
