My daughter started Kids Planet in January 2024 and has excelled. She is happy and always wanting to go to nursery. The staff are very attentive and have supported her in learning her letters. Kids Planet is a vibrant and sociable environment and is somewhere I would recommend to parents for their child.
Thank you for everything you do.

My son is in the baby room and I can't thank and praise the staff enough! I love to get the notifications on the app of what he has been up to - I love the photos and videos they post of him and seeing that he's often eaten 'all and seconds' of the food, it gives us ideas of what to cook at home too!
All staff I've met are happy and welcoming and I feel at ease leaving my baby with them, knowing he's in good hands! It isn't the cheapest nursery in our area, but you can't put a price on your child's happiness and seeing how much he is blossoming makes it all worthwhile!

My child loves coming to Kids Planet Hoylake. She’s grown a particularly strong relationship with her key worker. I love being able to log on to the app and get regular updates on what she’s doing throughout the day. Their activities are so varied and consist of things we wouldn’t do at home for the
most part (e.g. pancake making on a log fire). All the staff are so welcoming and friendly and are always so happy to have a chat at handover and to tell me all about my child's day and answer as many questions as I have (even daft ones). The best part, in my opinion, is the menu that’s provided for the kids. I often joke with friends and family that I wish I could join for lunch too as I’m sat at my desk with a sandwich whilst my child is eating seafood pasta or snacking on a ploughman’s platter.

Overall more than happy with our experience with this nursery for both of our children. Staff are very approachable and are fantastic at communicating the child's progress and next steps in learning. Our children have both been very happy attending and the staff go out of their way to make sure that
they are safe, happy and welcomed into the nursery every day. Couldn't recommend it more.

Always met with extreme pleasantries. Very professional staff who take the role of security very seriously. I was prompted for a password each time picking up. It was good to be asked today when dropping off my granddaughter if she was well. I have seen lots of examples of the flow of information from
staff with my daughter. Great updates on child’s eating and play activities.

My experience with Kids Planet Hoylake is second to none. I have a 7-month-old in the baby room and they take care of my son like he's comfortably at home. He gets daily enrichment activities and is actively socialised with the other babies in what can only be described as a tender and loving environment.
The babies are given independence from an early age and I am constantly impressed with their abilities to feed themselves and manage themselves whilst under the care and guidance of the staff there.
He goes in every morning with a smile and comes home every evening with a smile, almost like he's just remembered I exist. The staff are welcoming and will remember you long before you get used to remembering their lovely faces. They listen and practice your parenting style, but ultimately encourage children to achieve what you didn't imagine possible!

Great staff who are very caring. They are all sensitive to all children’s needs. Couldn’t be happier for grandson to be part of Kids Planet family. He started in September 2023 and settled very quickly. He enjoys his days spent there and when I collect him he is always happy. I really enjoyed my time
when I was invited to visit and stay to see how he was in another environment.

I have two grandchildren attending this nursery who are always happy to go. They are well cared for and loved by the staff. The communication is very good and I particularly like it when the children are taken out i.e. to the park or the beach. They also seem to thoroughly enjoy the food and often having

Could not be any happier with the care my little girl receives! The incredible opportunities provided alongside the phenomenal care is second to none! The setting have their own accreditations and are advocates of outdoor learning, which is extremely important to me as a parent! I love how they promote
healthy eating and have a wide variety of different meals, cooked fresh and cater for all needs. All the staff are extremely approachable and nothing is ever too much trouble! Truly incredible nursery who put their heart and soul into everything they do with and for the children! Honestly the best setting by far! I wouldn’t want my little girl anywhere else!

We have been very impressed with Kid’s Planet Hoylake. We have sent both of our daughters there and they are settled and very happy there. The staff in all rooms are caring and incredibly friendly and the variety of engaging and fun activities on offer for the children are superb. It’s always going
to be difficult to leave your children when they are babies, but the staff at Kid’s Planet soon put our minds at ease as they regularly send updates on activities, nappy changes, sleep times and how well they’ve done at meal times via the app with photos and information about our child’s day. Also, I’d like to give a special mention to the management staff who are incredibly helpful with flexibility to fit around my shifts at work, I can’t thank them enough. We are so grateful to have found this nursery.

Lovely nursery, couldn't be happier. Fantastic staff, always friendly and engaging. Lots of activities for leaning, such as themed days. Great garden area. They seem good at following all protocols and it feels like my boy is in safe hands. My little one is growing and thriving and very happy here.

Kids Planet Hoylake has been fantastic with my little boy's journey in nursery. He is always very excited about going and always comes out with a smile and is excited to tell me what he has been doing. I feel Kids Planet have a wide range of activities, including there little trips out to the park,
beach or even the lifeboat station. My little boy has come a long way since starting with Kids Planet and nothing is ever to much for the staff, they are very approachable and always maintain their standards of respect and care. I can't thank them enough.

My daughter has been coming to Hoylake Kids Planet since March 2023 since she was 8 months old and loves it! She settled so quickly and has come on so much. The nursery is brilliant and they do lots of exciting and fun stuff to keep the children entertained. The staff are always lovely and are great
at keeping parents up to date with everything the children have done. Staff have formed brilliant bonds with my daughter and really engage with her, making learning so much fun! I have noticed such a difference in my daughter since she has been coming especially in her physical and social development. The nursery setting is brilliant and the outdoor space is superb. The food sounds lovely with lots of different dishes on the menu each week! I am so glad we chose Kids Planet and cannot rate it highly enough!

I wholeheartedly give them five stars.
Caring staff: The staff are incredibly caring and attentive. My son has always seemed to feel safe and loved, they go above and beyond to make him really feel comfortable and happy.
Communication: They keep us updated about our son's moments, meals, and sleep
through the app. The parent days are an excellent opportunity to discuss our child and meet other mums and dads.
Fun environment: The nursery seems to consistently provide a fun and engaging environment for the kids. Themed dress-up days to day out trips, my son always greets me to come home with smiles and chatting away about his day. They definitely understand the importance of play in early childhood development, and it shows in the smiles on all the children's faces I have seen in the nursery. Thank you, for providing our son with such a wonderful start!
Big shout out to the lady in the baby room, also the lady who has now gone to Wallasey, and the lady in toddler who is currently our little ones 121.

I just want to say how remarkable I have found the whole experience we have had with Kids Planet Hoylake and all the staff from day one (13 months old) until now (31 months). My daughter has suffered quite a lot with her eczema and allergies and I have experienced such support from all of the staff,
even though her conditions are quite complex. I honestly don't think that I would've been happy or confident leaving her in any other nursery, the confidence I have in her care from all the staff is second to none. I think as a parent, you second guess every decision you make for your child, but I am certain that selecting Kids Planet has most definitely been the best decision I could have ever have made at this stage. I can't recommend this place enough, and I do recommend to everyone I speak to - thank you guys so much.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.938)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.938) out of 10 for Kids Planet Hoylake 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.947 for Kids Planet Hoylake is calculated as follows: ( (248 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 262 Ratings = 4.947

  • 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 4.991 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Hoylake is based on 22 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 111 number of registered child places is 22.2. 22 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.2 = 0.991

  • 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.
