My little boy attends the nursery 3 days per week - he loves it and is very happy to go each morning. He has a great relationship with the staff and is building some good friendships with the children too. The nursery staff are proactive, have a can do attitude and are very caring. They get to know
your child really well and make the nursery a lovely place for the children to be. I would highly recommend this setting.

My child absolutely loves going to this nursery. She has developed so much since entering the nursery at 10 months old. She is now nearly 2 and is absolutely thriving. The staff are brilliant with her, she loved her time in the baby unit and now she has transitioned so well to the toddler area due to
the friendly, caring and hardworking staff. She eats well there and often asks for seconds. She has made some lovely little friends there. Both of her parents are very happy with the provision.

I moved my daughter to this nursery mid-November 2016, and it was the best decision I have made. Her speech has come along so much, she settled in very well and the main thing that has made all the difference is the staff and how willing they are to do anything to help better your child. My daughter
was potty trained within 3 days. I couldn't be happier with this nursery.

I have four children, 3 have attended Nutkins but are all at school now, the oldest being 10 years and our fourth child has just started Little Nutkins as its near to our home. We have had nothing but the greatest of experience regarding the nursery and we know our children are in really good hands.
The fact that most of the staff have been the same over the years shows that they are a good employer and the staff are obviously happy and have lots of experience, I feel they know our family. I really like all the extra activity's that the have, Petite Acting Academy, football coaching, cooking club and science club, the kids have really enjoyed these. I always recommend them to people who are looking for a nursery.

Little Nutkins is an absolutely fantastic nursery. My daughter started at 8 months and has never had a day that she didn't want to go in and see her extended family, play with all the lovely toys and fun activities. Staff are extremely approachable, supportive and accommodating. Highly recommend.

Since starting Little Nutkins, my daughter has thrived. The staff are so welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. They care so much about all of the children and they are incredibly supportive and nurturing. Our daughter is always so happy to go to nursery and I really can't recommend it enough. Little
Nutkins is a very special place.

As the parent of a child who struggles with nursery due to separation anxiety, I always feel safe in the knowledge that the care she receives here is exemplary. Staff are always welcoming, kind and knowledgeable and create a safe, happy environment for the children to play and learn. With excellent
inside and outside areas and regular updates on your child's progress. Both myself and my daughter wouldn't hesitate in highly recommending Little Nutkins.

Since joining Little Nutkins Nursery my son has developed in so many ways. He is more confident and balanced and looks forward to going to nursery every day. My son has had the most amazing time and he has had lots of fun. The nursery itself is a fun and bright environment and I think it provides the
backdrop for more effective learning. My son loves the 'Aunties' very much and the teachers are very approachable for parents. My son attends full time. Our experience of the little Nutkins Nursery has been fantastic and we would definitely recommend to others.

My child has been at little Nutkins since September, he loves going and tells me everything he has done. I can't fault the nursery at all, the staff are lovely and the nursery is always clean and when I take my child I know they are well looked after and cared for.

I'm really pleased with the care my son has received since he started in September. So much time and effort went into settling him in and the staff are so thorough in giving you updates and keeping you informed of their progress.
My little boy loves going to Little Nutkins and can't wait to get there.
The activity schedule is always really interesting and diverse and the food menu is excellent!
Would highly recommend.

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.
