I cannot recommend Kids Planet enough. I was very anxious about finding the perfect nursery for my little girl but from the very start, every single member of staff at nursery has been so helpful and so good with my little girl. She loves going to nursery, she has a big smile on her face every morning
when we pull up outside. My daughter's key person has been amazing and keeps us up to date every day with her progress as do all the other members of staff in her baby room. She has been attending the nursery for almost a year now and I couldn’t think of anywhere better for her to be whilst I am working. We get sent a list of activities every month that the children will be taking part in and they’re always interesting and engaging. There are even options for parents to go along and take part! My little girl was quite quiet but has come out of her shell so much since starting nursery and I can’t thank the wonderful staff enough.

I couldn't recommend Kids Planet Day Nursery any higher! The girls there do a wonderful job! My daughter is so happy and settled in there! She has additional needs which they cater to perfectly. On occasion, she chokes, due to her health. She once choked in nursery and the girls were quick to respond.


The nursery itself is lovely, well equipped, clean and by far the nicest I have seen. Child growth and development is encouraged and this shows massively with our daughter. If you're looking for a nursery for your son or daughter then I really wouldn't look any further. If there is a space I recommend snapping it up.

Kids Planet Billinge is an excellent nursery, my daughter loves coming. The staff are always so kind and helpful. They make me feel at ease when leaving her. All the rooms are always clean and tidy and they have plenty of outdoor space for all age ranges. They use an app throughout the day to update
you on meals, nappies, pictures etc which I love looking at in work. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a clean, good value for money nursery.

Kids Planet Billinge is amazing!
My son absolutely loves going- he can be in total toddler meltdown in a morning, but as soon as he realises he is going to Nursery, he says “Yesssss!!!” And gets really excited to get in the car.
When he first started going, he wasn’t the easiest to deal with and
would get really upset, but the team at Kids Planet were so patient with him and helped him to realise that there was no need to worry and that he could really enjoy himself with the other children.
The meals that he eats are just amazing- and he always eats the whole lot! I’m so relaxed and confident that he is well looked after and enjoying himself whilst at nursery.

I found it very daunting trying to find a reputable nursery to look after my little boy. I visited 11 nurseries in total Kids Planet being the 10th. After Walking through the doors at Kids Planet I instantly knew this was the one. They were full of smiles, very knowledgeable and put my mind instantly
at ease. My little boy has come on leaps and bounds since he joined at 6 months. The ladies are brilliant he’s so happy to see them in the morning which is so lovely for me as I know he’s happy and I can go off to work not worrying. The meals are full of nutrition and always something different. The parent app is my favourite when I'm able to see what he’s been doing during the day and even photos. They also put an assessment on there of how they witnessed your child’s interaction etc and where they see them coming in on the scale. Great app


I’m so glad I kept looking as I’d never come across this nursery. I can’t thank the staff enough for how they’ve helped me little boy come along.

Can’t rate Billinge Kids Planet Nursery high enough, really friendly staff, very professional, very clean and always a fun happy environment. Communication is excellent and I always feel at ease when I drop my daughter off. Absolutely no negatives and would recommend to anyone considering putting their
child in the nursery, to come and have a look around, they have lots of staff in the rooms, and are very approachable. I know my child is very well taken care of and is happy to attend.

My daughter is only in week two of Kids Planet Child Care but enjoying nursery very much. She is in the pre school room which has fabulous facilities. Staff are very friendly and caring, especially as she still needs reassurance when we leave her for 5+ hours.
The nursery is kept very clean and is
very secure with finger print entry. She seems to be really enjoying the food that is prepared each day and trying new things. Daily updates are posted on Parent Zone to confirm daily activities and food eaten.

I would highly recommend Kids Planet Billinge! The staff are all so friendly and helpful. The set up is excellent and they have amazing facilities.
Or daughter has come on so much since starting nursery and we're so glad we decided on Kids Planet. She has specific dietary requirements and the kitchen
staff are excellent at preparing meals for her. The daily updates and photographs are an added bonus as you can see what your child had been up to during the day. 5 stars!

A fantastic nursery which is really good at keeping the parents involved throughout. We regularly get updates on their development and there is a portal we can view to see what they have been doing and eating etc whilst there.
The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming and my child adores his key
worker and all of the other staff members in his room.
As a parent, who was extremely anxious about putting their child into nursery I would not hesitate to recommend Kids Planet - Billinge to anyone!

Overall, a very happy mummy!

Contemporary attitude towards inclusions in terms of parents views and recommendations. The staff appear to be well trained, knowledgeable and the facilities are second to none. They take security safety using biometric systems and technology to log what the children have done. They promote wellness
and healthy living through nutrition and always have healthy snacks and water available. Very homely feel, the staff are caring and loving to children.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.434)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.434) out of 10 for Kids Planet Billinge 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 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 4.866 for Kids Planet Billinge is calculated as follows: ( (104 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.866

  • 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 4.568 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Billinge is based on 10 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 88 number of registered child places is 17.6. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.6 = 0.568

  • 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.

Barbara Bryers

Job Title: Manager

Joined: 2024

My love of Early Years began in 1992, when as a full-time mum I began voluntary work in my children's primary school reception class. I then, encouraged by the class teacher, began EY Qualifications and obtained levels 2, 3 and 4 in Childcare and Education. Over the years I have worked in schools, nurseries and with children in Local Authority Care and Family Support. I am a qualified SENDCO and passionate about ensuring all children and families receive the best support before starting school. I feel privileged to greet the happy little faces coming into Nursery each morning and knowing that parents can spend their day knowing their little ones are having fun whilst learning and making lots of happy memories!
