The nursery overall is very good. Only on a few occasions, I picked my child up with unclean clothes but overall a good nursery with friendly staff.

Amazing nursery! My son started in babies when the nursery first opened and is now in tots. I felt completely at ease and confident that he was in a caring environment from the start.
The staff I have had interactions with have been spot on, my sons key workers in both babies room and tots are amazing
and give you lots of time talking about the day or if you have any queries. Absolutely fantastic girls!
My son eats loads at nursery so a big thank you to the chef and the healthy snacks during the day that are available.
The only slightly negative thing I could say is that it would have been nice if nappies/wipes/cream were included in the price as some nurseries that are cheaper provide these. But the fact that everything else is spot on, it's definitely worth it!
Would recommend this nursery in a heartbeat!

My little boy used to cry when we pulled up on the car park of his previous nursery. Since being at Kids Planet he now gets upset when he can’t go! The staff are amazing and I now have two boys that go to the nursery. They both love it and I have no worries at all when they’re there! Well done ladies.

We have been part of the Kids Planet family for the past six years. I can honestly say all the KP are to a very high standard that is not portrayed in many other nursery settings. When we moved to Great Sankey in the last month there was no doubt in my mind that my daughter would go anywhere else other
than KP. KP is such a well run nursery which clearly boasts high standards across all levels.
The staff who work here are also second to none; I have never met a nicer bunch of people than who are selected to work at KP, every member is perfect for the job, looking after children is a passion, something you want to do and these girls have this. I would never feel concerned leaving my daughter who I must say has really enjoyed settling into preschool and is coming on leaps and bounds!
Thank you to all the preschool team. I have nothing but positives to say my youngest daughter will also be there in January.
Thank you for all your hard work, you are so appreciated.

What an absolutely amazing nursey - my little boy is so happy, we have been here since it opened. The whole team are welcoming and professional. My little boy has severe allergies but thanks to Kids Planet he is still able to try a variety of different foods safely. The staff are attentive and handover
is incredibly informative yet efficient - you can tell everyone who works there really cares and wants to make sure all of the children are happy at nursery. I wouldn't send my little boy anywhere else. We love Kids Planet!

I could not recommend the nursery and the staff of the babies room enough. Since my little girl has joined the nursery the development has been amazing.

I cannot rate this nursery highly enough. My son has ASD and they have been exceptional with him. His key worker knows his needs without him having to say a word and the SENDCO is just amazing. Everyone is so helpful and friendly and every member of staff takes the time with my child and takes the time
to update me and my family with regards to my son's progress and any recent observations. I was so worried about leaving my son at nursery but I shouldn’t have been. I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

Amazing nursery. We were a little worried having a child with multiple allergies however the staff and chef worked around these to make sure our little one did not have something different to everyone else, putting our mind at ease with the full list of ingredients and worked with us when introducing
new foods! The parent app is fabulous, all the girls are friendly and you can tell they enjoy working here. The sensory room is magical and the outdoor space is wonderful. Would highly recommend this nursery. Five star.

I have two children currently at this nursery and it’s staff and facilities are brilliant. They have different rooms to accommodate a variety of ages. My first child started in the toddler room and then moved up to the pre school room and the transition was done smoothly and slowly so that my child
remained comfortable and happy.
They have a wide variety of activities so the children always have something to do and participate in. The staff have always been absolute gems and keep me updated on my children's progress and day events. They are all approachable and very helpful and reassuring should you need it.
The app they provide you with always allows you to check in an see how your child’s been and what they have eaten as this is updated often and personalised to your child/children. Overall my children are very happy there so as their mummy I’m happy too.

I can’t recommend Kids Planet highly enough! The staff in my son's room are absolutely amazing, he loves them all. Every day he does something new and exciting which can be inside or outside with the fabulous garden that all the rooms have access to, all of which I get photos of on their app with comments
as to how he is coming along.
Every day he’s in I’m kept up to date with all his daily activities and what he has eaten... they have a fantastic menu that gives him the opportunity to try lots of different foods that we can continue at home.
Wouldn’t want my son anywhere else!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.828)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.828) out of 10 for Kids Planet Great Sankey is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.828 for Kids Planet Great Sankey is calculated as follows: ( (341 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 396 Ratings = 4.828

  • 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 Great Sankey is based on 33 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 109 number of registered child places is 21.8, which has been reached with 33 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.
