Absolutely fantastic nursery. The staff are so caring and great with the kids. My little boy has his 'nursery mummy' and is so excited when he sees her. Thank you Kids Planet Hoylake for looking after my son.

Kids Planet Hoylake have been great with my daughter. They try to be flexible and my daughter always goes in happy and leaves happy too.
They seem to do a range of activities with the kids and help them constantly entertained.

My two children love their time at nursery. Our little girl, nearly 4 and in pre-school, has progressed well through every class. She has many little friends and is close to many of the wonderful grown-ups who care for her.
Our little boy is nearly 2 and struggled to get used to being separated from
us when he joined babies. The staff were so patient, and he now loves nursery and is in tots. He now gets upset when leaving his sister here on a Tuesday, and wants to go and play with his friends rather than come home. Thursday, they're both in and have an amazing time. At Kids Planet, learning is fun!

Almost every day my son comes home from Kids Planet seemingly with a new side to his development whether a new word, action or love for something. Could not be happier with his care and promotion of development.

Reply from Lisa Taylor, Nursery Manager at Kids Planet Hoylake

Thank you for your feedback. We love to see the children develop and grow and it's nice to know we've supported in this.

Kids Planet and tots have been amazing. Our daughter struggled to begin with but Kids Planet gave is additional settling in time and the tots teachers were super supportive.
Our daughter is now thriving and confident.

Reply from Lisa Taylor, Nursery Manager at Kids Planet Hoylake

Thank you for your feedback. We will always add additional settling-in sessions if the children require these, we want the children to see nursery as a positive experience.

Our girls are thriving in the toddler room. Their speech has improved so much. They are saying words we definitely haven't used at home - adverbs.
Their potty training is undoubtedly helped so much by the nursery girls.
They love their days at Kids Planet Hoylake. From day 1 I have never ever worried
or given a worrying thought about our twins as I know they're so happy and looked after. They are treated as their own children and I love it. I am dreading the day they have to leave!

Reply from Lisa Taylor, Nursery Manager at Kids Planet Hoylake

Thank you so much for your feedback. We love having them with us and are very sad when all the children leave us to go to school.

My grandson attends Kids Planet 2 mornings per week. We have seen a real positive improvement in his development. He enjoys attending Kids Planet. The staff are warm and friendly and always show good knowledge of my grandson and his activities that session.

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.
