I am happy with this nursery. My little boy loves coming here. His key worker understands him a lot. The nursery help with my little boy's needs, especially his allergies. I can’t find anything to fault this nursery. The new manager is lovely and so understanding when my little boy struggles. Hats off
to all the staff.

This reflects on past events. Hopefully things stay as they are now as it has been improved (but only after numerous complaints). I was not happy with my daughter's care - felt my complaints weren’t being dealt with correctly. Now the manager has changed things seemed to have improved.

Good new manager. Feel very comfortable leaving my child. May cry going in but the staff soon comfort the child and they become settled. The staff do good activities with the children and teach them new skills. The nursery is very clean and smells clean and nice. All the staff are polite and dressed
smartly. The staff are helping with potty training. I have no concerns about leaving my child at nursery.

My little girl has been attending Kids Planet Wyke since she was one year old, she will be leaving shortly as she starts school. To say the staff will be missed is an understatement, they have been so supportive, encouraging and had an amazingly positive impact on her life!
One staff member in particular
goes above and beyond with her and we can say that my little one will miss her incredibly!
All the girls are superb and strive to give children the best experiences!
Thank you!

We love Kids Planet Wyke nursery, two of our children have attended and they have been amazing, they really helped my daughter who has additional needs and really supported her and followed her lead. They have been great and supportive to both of my children and kept us informed at all times about all
aspects of care our children received.

We couldn’t ask for a better nursery for our daughter; the progress she has made since starting there just over a year ago has been incredible. She is completely obsessed with the nursery practitioners and can’t wait to see them each morning, which is a testament to the strong relationships they have
helped her to form. The communication via the app is excellent and we love receiving photos of her having a fabulous time. We would 100% recommend Kids Planet Wyke to anyone!

My child has had a great experience here at Kids Planet. She's been here since she was 1 and is now 4 and due to leave to go to school. The staff seem to care about the children there and make an effort in what they do.

Some up and down moments but the new manager has handled the down moments very well! She has massively put me and Dad at ease with everything.
My son's to-be key worker is amazing with him and she understands his needs, what he wants, everything as he is behind on his speech he is unable to communicate
his needs fully.

Both my children love attending nursery. Staff in each room are friendly, welcoming and care for the children to a high standard.
I have rarely had issues but if I have the staff have been welcoming to hear me out and always gone above and beyond to help and resolve any problems.
All the staff are
polite and friendly, from admin, nursery nurses, chef and cleaner.
The children have the best time and mostly I feel comfortable and confident they are being cared for well when I am at work.
Well done team!

My child has been going for over a year and he settled in so quickly. He wasn’t talking much before he went, even when he was at his old nursery, and defiantly wasn’t potty trained. Soon as he came here he was out of nappies and speaking sentences. I couldn’t thank Kids Planet enough! My child absolutely
adores the staff especially a member of staff in particular in the big room. Thank you all, I would 100% recommend.

My little boy recently left nursery to start in reception, he has attended this same nursery since the age of 1. He has thrived in his years at this nursery and has developed year on year. Within the last few months of attending nursery, he came home singing phonics songs that he had been taught at
nursery helping him with the transition into big school, this helped us as full time working parents greatly! Always kept in the loop with him throughout the day, including meals and activities etc. On the rare occasion, there has been any sort of problem the manager and the rest of the girls have done all they can to help sort the problem. Would highly recommend

We sent both our children here and never had a bad word to say.
We watched both our children thrive here. The staff were always helpful and informative and when my son moved in to school we missed it greatly

Really friendly helpful staff. Well run and easy to follow on what my child is doing. As my child is of an older age group I get updates on collection of meals and on the app for any learning/development where necessary. My child loves going to nursery and I feel secure knowing that my child enjoys
it as well as knowing I am given any necessary updates by management or team especially through the current situation that everyone is living now.

Very good communication throughout the nursery, all staff very well mannered and happy to help, and the manager more than helpful and happy to assist at any point, my daughter has come on leaps and bounds since attending Kinder Haven @ Town Gate Wyke. She was a very quiet child now come out of her shell
and she can't wait to go the next day, well-done girls keep it up thank you,x

Depending on what you are willing to pay depends on how they treat you. Basically, if you don’t work and you don’t have the money you are not treated the same. They offer an online app so you can see daily meals, actives, etc but will only be able to access this if you pay. On one occasion my son wasn’t
at nursery but still got a report to say what he’d had for breakfast, lunch, and tea. Did ask the manager how this was possible when he wasn’t even there. Made me question what was he eating and what were they doing? At this point, I put my son on pack-ups.
The manager is rude and on a few occasions made me feel uncomfortable. Doesn’t handle situations professionally and I wouldn’t recommend this nursery. Very difficult to deal with and expensive.

Reply from Lou Deacon, Operations Manager at Kids Planet Wyke

I am saddened that you feel this way. I have not been made aware of any concerns raised during your time with us. I can see your child no longer attends the setting and that your review relates to February 2021 however if you wish to discuss further please don't hesitate to contact me at our head office in Pudsey. Kind regards.

This is a fantastic nursery. The staff are warm, kind and caring, and my son is making amazing progress. He asks every day if he can go to nursery and has a smile a mile wide when I drop him off. He does a wide range of activities and eats some amazing sounding food. Even in these tough times, the staff
smile and the COVID precautions are very thorough. Communication from the nursery manager is always helpful and concise. We love this nursery and can't recommend it highly enough.

My little girl was due to start in April 2020 but due to the pandemic, this was delayed. She started just after her first birthday and during a difficult time for everyone. The nursery made me feel so secure with her safety and were very strict with all covid guidelines. It is such a worrying time leaving
your child with someone else and even worse when you can't be there to check on them but I was encouraged to ring and was kept updated via the app regularly. The practitioners are all lovely and give lots of updates at the door upon pick up every day. All the meals are so healthy and well balanced, my little one has an aversion to apples and this is dealt with so well as the whole room isn't given apples the day she is in so she doesn't feel left out. They are also very helpful with applying her eczema cream regularly. Nothing is any trouble and this makes me feel secure that my daughter is in trustworthy hands!

My son has been attending this nursery for three years now and is very happy here. He missed attending during the pandemic and looked forward to returning. He has a great relationship with the practitioners and includes them in the stories he tells me when he is articulating the fun things he has done
that day. He is confident and and excited when attending. At home he plays the games and sings the songs he has learnt at nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.898)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.898) out of 10 for Kids Planet Wyke 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 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.898 for Kids Planet Wyke is calculated as follows: ( (352 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 382 Ratings = 4.898

  • 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 Wyke is based on 31 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 31 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.
