We started coming to nursery in September and they have made me as a parent feel so at ease with my son going there. They are always so informative about his day and keep me updated throughout the day with the app.

I really couldn't have chosen a better nursery for my baby girl, she loves the staff so much and everyone in the baby room makes her feel like she's got a home away from home. The learning stories and updates throughout the day are great to see and the warm welcome at pick up and drop off always are
a joy. Thank you so much baby room for all your hard work this year!
The management are always quick to help if I have any questions and also make a point to say hello to my baby and make her feel welcome.
Couldn't fault the food with a mix of dishes and they also set out a range of learning and play activities every day.

I cannot fault Kids Planet Swinton, my 9-month-old daughter absolutely loves it there. I was so nervous sending her to nursery so young but she's thriving and enjoys every minute and that's all down to the staff. They're all so friendly and even the staff from other areas of the business know her name
and take the time to say hello or goodbye. My daughter has specific dietary requirements and they are always so accommodating. She has such a varied diet despite being so limited. We're always bringing home something she's made or seeing activity updates on the app, it's no wonder she loves it there. I would recommend this nursery to everyone.

Absolutely love this nursery, my little girl has been attending since she was about 9 months old, and I cannot fault the staff at all, they are all so friendly and welcoming. I love the fact that they do all sorts of activities. Even bringing in the parents/carers for stay-and-play days. I love the
updates that we get on the parent app, and it's in distance from our home.

My son has been attending the baby room at this nursery for a few months now. We have been really happy with the care so far. Staff and the environment are warm and welcoming and my little boy gets really excited when he sees the building. The nursery is all-inclusive so nappies, formula and wipes are
all provided so there's no need to worry about forgetting to pack these.

Since my son has started toddler's he’s been so happy! The staff have been amazing in encouraging my son to go into the toilet! And the observations and moments that have been updated onto his portal the efficacy of the room is amazing since a new room leader has been appointed! Management is always
really helpful and staff members are always super friendly.
Super happy with the whole experience off Kids Planet.

My child has a disability, and already having had experience of this nursery knew she would be in good hands, which has proven to be the case. I find the staff very friendly and always willing to go out on a limb to help in any way. I am also singularly impressed by the facilities, learning experience,
cleanliness and all round care. 10/10.

All staff give my child lots of love and care and are always introducing new experiences for my child to do and learn from. The handovers are detailed and my child is happy to go to nursery, showing me what a good time he has on a daily basis. The staff are there to offer me advice and help whenever
I ask and have lots of information that other parents can help themselves to, there is a swap shop and a food bank which has been helpful for me and what seems like lots of other parents.

My child is having a tough time settling into nursery life. The staff have been amazing in trying lots of different things to try and make him happy and more content, including a special teddy that is his to take to and from nursery with a picture book to update. They are really loving and cuddly with
the children and do lots of different activities and themed weeks with them.

My son has attended Kids Planet Swinton for over a year now and, besides the inevitable runny nose, it has been great. I have built a great relationship with the nursery and apparently the food is good enough for second servings, which my son tends to enjoy. The staff are very professional and caring
and I can't fault their wonderful efforts in making every day special for my son. We look forward to the months and years ahead and are assured by the quality of care our boy receives.

Well, there are so many things that are positive that I want to say about this place. It is such an amazing nursery, very secure as well as polite, loving and caring staff. My little boy goes here three days a week and it's the best one around, I wouldn't choose any other. If you're not happy with something
the staff are immediately onto it. I always get a lovely warm welcome off the new manager, the deputy manager and the staff when we arrive. I just want to say thank you for all the things you do for my little boy, day in and day out, making sure he's fed, changed, doing different activities each day and also making sure he is feeling safe in the environment. Thank you.

Overall I have been happy with the nursery. My son has been attending for past 18 months and transitioned through several rooms. Concerns have been raised on a few occasions but every time they have been handled very well. We have been listened to as his parents and extra measures put in place. There
is a variety of activities and the variety of food is fantastic! All staff members know him and interact with our son well.

My daughter has attended Kids Planet now for 6 months and has made great bonds with both staff and children. She absolutely loves coming to nursery and gets excited when we drive into the car park. I have seen a massive difference in her development and we couldn't be happier. The staff are all lovely
and I know she receives the best care.

The nursery is outstanding and the staff are very caring, supportive and provide a nourishing environment for children to flourish. Both my daughters attend the nursery and have made an amazing bond with the staff. Each child gets a key worker and there is good handover and continuity of staff. The
staff tries to accommodate the needs of children and try very best to ensure the child is settled well. They also cater for their diet, my daughter had halal food options.
She had some speech delay and I am amazed at the progress she has made since joining the nursery.
The building is purpose build for nursery and it has adequate parking and decent outdoor area (within the premise)for kids to enjoy.
Would very much recommend this nursery!

My daughter started attending the Kids Planet nursery in August 2022 and I can already see the progress she has made and how much she has changed with her communication and socialising in a very positive way. I can't praise the staff enough for the massive help that has been provided. Every month they
will write a review, as well as catching moments to post and providing information on what activities they have done every day along with what food they had that day.
Thank you.

The nursery is amazing and the staff are lovely. My son struggled this time last year to communicate and be around others and since starting here at Kids Planet he’s come along nicely with his speech and forming relationships with staff and class mates. They’re all well prepared for anything and nothing
is too much to handle for them. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.926)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.926) out of 10 for Kids Planet Swinton 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 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.926 for Kids Planet Swinton is calculated as follows: ( (391 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 419 Ratings = 4.926

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Swinton is based on 35 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 125 number of registered child places is 25, which has been reached with 35 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.
