At first, it was difficult to leave my daughter for the first time being a new parent. The nursery staff made us feel more at ease and reassured us everything would be fine. Roll on 5 months and my daughter is running in and smiling because she cannot wait to go and play for the day. The staff are brilliant
and friendly and always have time to answer any questions or concerns we have. Happy to have chosen Kids Planet as her nursery.

I am really happy with the staff and facilities of this nursery. My baby is only seven-months-old and she is enjoying going to nursery. Staff are very prompt in feeding my baby, her sleeps, her nappy change and the best of all I get information about my baby from time to time. It's very tough for a
mother to trust anyone else with her baby but in just three weeks I now have solid trust in this nursery.

The whole team have been really kind, caring & supportive of my grandson. He has really settled in well, appears happy and has been supported to develop in all crucial areas. He is so happy at the nursery, he sometimes doesn't want to leave!
From entry in the morning, the whole team are very welcoming
and interested in how things are. He is given a very wide variety of healthy, fresh food and has tried lots of new things.

This nursery is amazing! I have never seen a nursery so bright, spacious and clean!
My son has been at the nursery since last year when he was just 5 months old.
They look after him very well, they are flexible with his extra days etc. and he has come along so so much!
I couldn't think of a better
place to send my boy!

We have been at Kids Planet Salford Quays for quite some time now. We have had a fantastic experience and only wish that we had found kids planet earlier. It is conveniently placed for myself going into Manchester and my husband works locally, meaning we also get a 10% discount.
The nursery itself
is amazing, we looked round twice and the staff were so friendly and welcoming and each day I feel settled when leaving my child. The facilities are out of this world and the nursery is super clean. I can't believe that we ever considered going anywhere else - absolutely fantastic well done Kids Planet!

My son has been attending Kids Planet Salford Quays now for six months. He joined the nursery at nine months old. The staff and the management team are amazing! They attend to every need my son has ever had and he is always so happy at nursery.
My son has created a brilliant bond with his key person
and I feel happy and relaxed knowing I am leaving my son with such trustworthy people.
I get to monitor everything that is going on via an app that the nursery use which is a brilliant idea from other nurseries I went to view.
The nursery is also in a very handy place and the location is outstanding, every room is immaculate and the outdoor space is also brilliant. I would recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking as you will not be disappointed.

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.
