Our son has been at Kids Planet for a year, and we are so happy with our decision to move him here. He has thrived and staff have supported his development brilliantly. All staff in pre school know him well, plan engaging activities and ensure he is happy. The management team also go above and beyond
to meet the needs of parents and plan engaging enrichment opportunities. He has particularly loved the Kids Love 2 Party sessions!

Kids Planet is a beautiful nursery with lovely play areas, toys and lots of activities to engage the kids and definitely got amazing staff that supported my son in settling in when we started in Jan 2022. I would say there has been a significant improvement in his speech and interaction with other kids.
My child loves going to nursery every single day which gives me so much joy. Choosing Kids Planet was one of the best decisions I made.

My two boys go into nursery with smiles on their faces. Staff members are really helpful with every milestone of their development. They talk about friends and staff with positive attitudes. The nursery is clean and inviting for them. I'm happy where they attend on weekdays and, most importantly, they
are happy too.

My daughter has attended Kids Planet since she was 11 months old (now 2.5 yrs) and she really enjoys her time there. She is always learning new things there and her confidence is growing. The staff are great at keeping us informed of how she's doing and I'm always confident leaving her there. I found
going back to work after mat leave really hard, so knowing she is well taken care of is really reassuring.

In my opinion, the nursery has been fantastic for my daughter's development. She loves all of the staff and other children in the room. I am more than happy with the attitude and application of the staff when having conversations around her day and development.

Great nursery! Like most parents, we were nervous about our daughter starting this chapter in her life, but she's come on leaps and bounds. The staff are friendly and approachable. They all take a genuine and vested interest in each child. I leave my daughter in the knowledge she is happy and well cared
for.

As ever, the nursery provides my child with a supportive environment to learn and develop. They have an array of age-appropriate toys for safe, varied learning activities. The staff are always approachable and provide feedback on a daily basis covering the key points of the day.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.616)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.616) out of 10 for Kids Planet Salford Quays is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 22 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 4.807 for Kids Planet Salford Quays is calculated as follows: ( (221 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.807

  • 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 4.809 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Salford Quays is based on 22 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 136 number of registered child places is 27.2. 22 Positive Reviews ÷ 27.2 = 0.809

  • 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.
