I am so pleased with nursery, amazing staff, my daughter finally started to speak. Every day is a different day, different activities. I can see that my my daughter started making friends. The teachers are fabulous, very friendly and you can tell they really care for the children. I would recommend
this nursery to anyone reluctant to leave their child, outgoing or anxious children or anyone seeking the best education and care for their child.

Reply from Megan Greaves, Deputy Manager at Kids Planet Queen Street

Thank you for this lovely review, transitioning into a nursery can be really challenging for children and we will always ensure we are there to support the children and their families!

My son has been attending Hillside since September 2021 from one very beginning staff have done everything they can to help him settle in and meet his needs. Communication has always been good and we feel very involved and informed. My son's confidence has grown and he has developed so many new skills
and become more sociable and outgoing since attending nursery. The feeling and staff are very welcoming and one environment is well equipped for all the children.
I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

Reply from Charlotte, Operations Manager at Kids Planet Queen Street

Thank you very much for these lovely words. It really means a lot to us and we love to watch the children grown with their confidence.

Hillside Childcare has been an absolute godsend to our family over the last five years! All of the staff have been so friendly across both settings (Altofts and Queen Street). I don’t have a single negative thing to say, they have looked after my 2 children with their best interests and development
as a priority from the beginning.

Reply from Louise Fairbrass, Nursery Manager at Kids Planet Queen Street

Thank you for your lovely review and your kind words, and thank you for being a part of the Hillside family.

I have used Hillside for both of my 2 children and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Despite the restrictions covid brought I don't feel my children missed out on anything, in fact, the staff were wonderful and caring throughout.


The care they have received is exceptional and the feedback was

always warm and friendly

Reply from Charlotte, Operations Manager at Kids Planet Queen Street

Covid definitely was a hard period and we did all we could to make sure all the children were included and didn't miss out on anything!

My daughter has attended this nursery since March 2022 I am always kept up to date with her progress and development, how her fluid and nutrition have been and how her day has been, if she has ever been unwell or there has been any issues or concerns I have always been called or informed on collection
hillside always have their children’s best interest at heart. The staff in the baby room are amazing when I pick my daughter up I always see the staff involved in all the babies and they always accommodate and ensure they adhere to equality diversity and inclusion, the management are hands on and always interact with the children. I would always recommend this nursery to any of my family and friends.

Both my children have attended Hillside Childcare - Queen Street. All the staff have supported and helped over the last 3 years. They have gone above and beyond and we will never be able to thank them enough. It’s a beautiful setting and fantastic for the children. Both my children love going to nursery.
Absolutely amazing!

We have had a wonderful experience at the nursery. We had to move our daughter following covid and the team and management were so welcoming. My daughters confidence and skills have developed substantially since she started. The activities available are great and in line with helping her to grow and
build. The staff loves to listen and use this information to develop activities and games.

The staff are extremely supportive and are willing to help with anything that they can help with.
An amazing nursery and I will be sad the day my son has to leave.

The nursery is very clean, ran professionally, the staff are friendly and caring.
So much learning and stimulation for the children.
On our first visit to the nursery I knew straight away it was the right choice.

Does what it says on the box, and much more. Hillside have accommodated, documented and encouraged my sons development in many wonderful ways. The team genuinely care for, and work so well with the children. I sometimes feel that I stand second to his carers! We have no complaints - 10/10

My child has attended Hillside Childcare - Queen Street for over a year now and the progress he has made is outstanding. He absolutely loves the nursery and all the ladies who work with him, they have all been brilliant with him. My son has additional needs and I could not ask more from the staff, with
getting his EHCP in place so early for him, to meeting every single one of his individual needs. My son has gone from being non verbal to talking all the time and he is learning so much at nursery. My daughter will also be starting here in the next couple of weeks. The staff are so friendly and they all do an incredible job!

My children have attended here for the past five years, and I couldn’t have wished for a better nursery for my children to grow and develop in. The team are very caring and always listens to any worries or concerns. My children are very happy here and are always excited to go see their friends and the
team members who they have such good relationships with. Highly recommend.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.959)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.959) out of 10 for Kids Planet Queen Street is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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 4.959 for Kids Planet Queen Street is calculated as follows: ( (467 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 487 Ratings = 4.959

  • 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 Queen Street is based on 41 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 126 number of registered child places is 25.2, which has been reached with 41 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.
