We have been sending our children to nursery at Lepton Daycare (Now Kids Planet Lepton) since 2018 - one child graduated, and two children currently attending. Our experience from the very first day our first child went, to today, has been absolutely brilliant. All the staff in all rooms are fabulous
- especially the managers. They cannot do enough for the children (and ourselves) and our children absolutely love going. We have found staff are particularly good at working with parents on things like potty training, taking dummies away, dealing with allergies, scheduled nap times etc. The range of activities staff provide day-to-day is excellent - our personal favourites have been babies having sensory play with snow on snow days and trips on the bus to the local pet shop to see the fish. We couldn't recommend this nursery anymore - it and the staff are amazing!

My little boy has really thrived in this setting. The staff have been friendly and approachable. He has thoroughly enjoyed all the opportunities to play, learn and develop within this supportive and caring setting. I receive regular detailed updates on how my son is progressing which is very reassuring.

Our daughter has been attending Lepton Day Care for five months in the baby room. We only have good things to say about this nursery. Our daughter is always happy to be dropped off and has always had good a day. Her key worker is very informative on collection, there are lots of activities and sensory
toys within the baby room, the children are also read too regularly.
A variety of food is offered, with a weekly menu available to look at. My daughter was very picky with food while weaning, however, with the nurseries help, she has tried a lot more flavours.
We have recommended two families to this nursery who now send their children also. It really is a lovely clean environment.

I’m extremely happy with the care my daughter receives from Lepton Day Care. I feel she has grown so much in character and personality, but most importantly with ability and knowledge expected at her age.
I feel all staff members treat her so personally, encouraging growth and stimulation. They’re
always so detailed with daily activity and updates where necessary.
I love that my daughter looks forward to her days at the nursery and often speaks of staff members and children she interacts with.
To conclude, I’m entirely reassured with the care, fun and learning that my daughter receives and am very grateful for those special staff members who make it as so.

My daughter has been going here for almost three years.
The staff are friendly, helpful and most importantly, they have always looked after my daughter really well.
From the beginning, they helped her transition into the setting, listening to how she napped and fed at home and working with me to
help her settle in.
Each time she’s moved rooms, they have done it gradually, communicating with us and making sure she is comfortable and confident there.
When I was expecting another baby, the staff helped prepare her by reading books about getting a new sibling and talking about the baby with her.
Now she is in preschool, I can see they are working hard to prepare her for school and she is learning a lot.

My daughter has enjoyed going to Lepton Day Care from day 1 and that is due to the amazing staff that work there. We are always kept well informed on how she is progressing day to day; the staff do a lot of fun activities with the kids from painting to sensory tables allowing them to explore and learn.
Always
feel safe in the knowledge that my daughter is being well looked after when I leave her, she loves it there and that is the most important thing.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.930)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.930) out of 10 for Kids Planet Lepton 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.930 for Kids Planet Lepton is calculated as follows: ( (212 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.93

  • 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 Lepton is based on 19 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 19 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.
