Absolutely amazing nursery, the staff are incredible and always go above and beyond.
My son was there for four years until he recently left to start school. He misses it so much and so do I. Highly recommended.

Lytham Lodge is an absolutely fantastic nursery and the staff are outstanding in their care for the children. They really take the time to get to know all the children and help to develop their skills through a variety of activities, as well as outdoor trips to a range of locations locally. The facilities
are brilliant, especially the outdoor decking at the back of the nursery which my child loves playing and exploring on. Would definitely recommend to any parent considering sending their child to nursery, look no further than the outstanding Lytham Lodge!

I love the daily activities and trips out you do with the babies. I have noticed my little girl come on so much since starting two months ago. I feel she's getting the best care and enjoying a wide variety of foods and activities whilst she attends.

The holiday club is brilliant - my children have attended various holiday clubs and the one at Lytham Lodge is their favourite! Best day of their lives apparently! My son also attended the nursery for 2 years and I cannot fault it!

Great nursery - fantastic facilities with staff who really care about the children. My child has been to other nurseries previously and nothing quite compares to Lytham Lodge. My little one loves the sports coaches and all the outdoor activities/sports that come with it.

Fantastic experience. Great service. Great customer care. Always happy bubbly and good detail given on the kids. Good feedback from the staff. Can't fault any of the staff or any of the nursery. If only everywhere was as professional and provided this first-class service. It's impossible to pick the
best staff of the week because they are all so good.

Lytham Lodge is a fantastic nursery. All the staff are lovely and caring. My son has a few speech difficulties and the staff have made such a big effort to help him. He is now saying lots of words which makes me so happy. He is always in a good mood to go to nursery which reassures me each day he is
happy and being well cared for. The customer service is excellent and the manager and room leader are always quickly respond to any questions I have and always provide valuable feedback. It is clear to me that the staff all enjoy their jobs and go the extra mile for parents. Highly recommended.

Such an amazing nursery. I haven't got a bad word to say about it. I have two children there. The facilities are amazing, the building and grounds are superb. Love the fact there are male staff members. There are also dedicated sports staff who do all manner of sports with the children - tennis, rugby,
football, archery etc. Also, a specific aerobics teacher comes in each week to run a session. They are kept really active. Its location is also great for trips out to the park, Lytham Hall, a nearby farm etc. The staff give great feedback each day and are very approachable. The manager is lovely and really helpful, nothing is too much trouble.

I’ve been sending my children to Lytham Lodge for 2 and a half years. I sent my twins initially and now my daughter. From day 1 they were amazingly supportive of my routine that twins often have, the boys have forged some amazing bonds with the staff there and we still see one of their past toddler
room key workers now out of nursery. Since moving to pre-school they have come on leaps and bounds in their abilities, speech and imagination and are making some great friendships also!
My daughter has been going for a month now and is already obsessed with all the staff in the baby room and has a great time.
The management are always there to offer help and advice where needed and we truly feel so well looked after.

This nursery is absolutely fantastic. My little boy is so happy there and the staff in the baby room are so loving but also very professional. I would recommend this nursery to anyone. I work full time but feel confident that he is happy at nursery and well cared for. The staff always take time to tell
me about his day when I pick him up even though they must be exhausted by then. Thank you.

I love that the nursery is always doing fun activities with the children and helping them to learn in a different way. It is lovely being able to see them enjoying themselves now we are allowed to drop off and pick up inside the building. I also love seeing the updates on the parent's app.
I feel
the food menus could do with a lot of improvement. It seems to always be very similar dishes and is very repetitive which isn’t great if your child doesn’t like a meal, they go without eating anything at all. I’d love to see a 3 or 4 week menu so dishes are only repeated once or twice a month.

The staff at Lytham Lodge, have been so supportive to me and to my daughter, who has a range of additional needs.


They have been supporting my daughter for years but over recent months, I have relied heavily on the support of one member of staff, in particular, to pull together all the documentation

needed to finalise my daughter's EHCP and couldn’t have done this without her.


Staff are so accommodating in helping my daughter transition from lower pre-school to preschool and discuss the progress of this regularly with me so we can all work together to make this as easy as possible for her.


Another member of staff is my daughter's favourite person and she has so much patience and love for her. In October my daughter had a seizure at nursery and this member of staff, along with the other staff, did so well at handling it, especially as I was away for work and couldn’t get there.


Lytham Lodge is an incredible nursery with incredible staff. My daughter can be challenging yet nothing ever is too much trouble.

My child has excellent care and loves all the extra activities you put on thank you! The only improvement I would like is having a slightly earlier drop-off as my job starts at 8. Thank you for your hard work.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.684)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.684) out of 10 for Kids Planet Lytham Lodge 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 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 4.943 for Kids Planet Lytham Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (181 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.943

  • 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 4.741 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Lytham Lodge is based on 16 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 108 number of registered child places is 21.6. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.6 = 0.741

  • 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.
