Both of my children attended Wallsend Day Nursery and I’m so pleased they did.
The staff are nurturing and the facilities are the best I’ve seen.
The meals are varied and well planned and sound delicious.

The staff are so lovely and friendly and they really care. I returned to work in the middle of the pandemic I felt my child was safe and the nursery used a common-sense approach and didn't just send him home when he coughed once.

My daughter loves going to nursery. All the staff are friendly, caring and supportive. They give a nice overview of her day when I pick her up. She does a mixture of activities throughout the day and they have a varied menu. She especially loves the private outdoor space which they use regularly. They
have really helped her development and encourage her while learning new skills.

I am so glad we chose Wallsend Day Nursery for our son. The staff work tirelessly to provide a friendly and engaging environment and he has learned so much. He really enjoys the food and the outdoor space and I can feel safe knowing that he is being nurtured and cared for.

My daughter has attended for almost 3 years and has loved every stage of it. Her happiness there made it so easy to leave my 12-month-old there too, who is settling in so well and has already established great connections with the nursery staff. My daughter has come on so well at the nursery and always
has exciting stories to tell. The staff and management are all so approachable, accommodating and friendly. I would recommend this nursery wholeheartedly.

My daughter has attended the nursery since she was around one-year-old and she has loved it. She’s experienced all of their rooms so far and has built very close and trusting relationships with all of the staff so far. They work incredibly hard to make sure children feel comfortable and happy. In our
case, they made a huge effort to ease my daughters anxiety about being left. Since going full time in January, she’s had the best time and they’ve kept her so safe given the circumstances surrounding Covid. We’re kept up to date with her progress and day to day behaviours which is really helpful so we can continue these at home. She loves the food at nursery and gets such a great variation of food. We would definitely recommend the nursery, without hesitation.

My son loves this nursery. The staff are all fantastic. Any issues or queries are resolved quickly by the staff or management. I will be sad when my son leaves in September, the staff have become a huge part of his life and he adores them all, especially three members of staff in particular, who, in
my opinion, all go above and beyond and are an asset to the nursery.

A wonderful nursery. My little boy loves going. He loves the staff, the food and the amazing facilities. The garden is fantastic and they take the children out in all weathers. Would definitely recommend. The ladies are friendly and welcoming, feedback given at the end of each day is so helpful to understand
what your child has been up to. Very accommodating if you need last-minute care and always so helpful. During this pandemic, they have followed every guideline and I feel safe taking my little boy in and he always comes out smiling.

The nursery is lovely with my daughter, she loves going and loves the staff. Whenever there has been in issue when dropping her off, I'm told to ring and check how she's doing. Food for Lunch and Dinner have a good range. My daughter has continued to progress throughout her short time with Wallsend
Day Nursery.

Brilliant nursery. My little boy loves going. Proper homemade meals are served which has massively helped his fussy eating. Plenty of activities and he loves the indoor soft play as well as the outside pirate ship and Guinea pigs.

My son has attended Wallsend day nursery since September 2019 and has developed leaps and bounds thanks to their wonderful staff.
When he first started he was a little unsure (new faces etc.) but now he goes running in every time to see his favourite staff members.
In short, I could not recommend
this place highly enough and it blows the competition out of the water.

I love how spacious this nursery is compared to others, I love all the different activities the children do every day and the on-site soft play but I mostly love how caring the staff are; I always had peace of mind knowing my babies would be cuddled to sleep if they needed it or they were ever upset.
Amazing place with amazing staff.

We love this nursery, and more importantly, my child loves this nursery! She has been going to this nursery since she was 1 and it has been brilliant for her development and enjoyment. The nursery surroundings and settings are great and the staff are brilliant with her. We will be very sad when it
comes to the time when she moves on to big school.

Both of my children enjoy their time at Wallsend Day Nursery - the activity plans are really great, always lots of variation in the activities on offer both in sessions and holiday club. The building is really great too - lots of space for play, outdoor area, soft play and a multi-purpose sensory room.
The staff have been exceptional - getting to know my children well, understanding and respecting their likes and dislikes and meeting their needs on every level. Myself and my husband are really happy with the care and service we receive and would certainly recommend Wallsend Day Nursery to others.

Cannot rate this day nursery high enough. We contacted them to make an enquiry and managed to get a tour of the site on the same day. We were blown away by the facilities they have on offer so we booked in some introductory visits the following week. The layout of the building has been well thought
through with the added bonus of their own soft play, on-site chef, sensory room and outside play area. All the staff have been professional, caring and accommodating. An extremely well-run nursery, with each child having a key worker and thorough handovers given upon collection.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.186)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.186) out of 10 for Kids Planet Wallsend is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 12 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 4.686 for Kids Planet Wallsend is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.686

  • 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 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Wallsend is based on 12 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 120 number of registered child places is 24. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.5

  • 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.
