The staff are so lovely and they work closely with the parents and they are always giving frequent updates. My child always comes home happy and he goes in happy as well. I can't thank the nursery enough for what they have done for my child.

My little girl attends 3 days a week and always has a great time, she loves coming home and telling us all the fun she has had during the day with her friends. Staff are really attentive and helpful on the drop-off and pickups. The nursery itself is clean and welcoming and there isn't anything too much
trouble for any member of staff! Well done guys keep up the hard work.

The nursery has been excellent, they helped my daughter grow as a person! She's potty trained now and has come out of her shell. The staff have always been understanding and welcoming to her and her skills. I would definitely recommend this nursery to friends and family! Thank you for all you've done
for my daughter. The nursery has also helped her love more food than she used to and she loved all staff members. There were plenty of activities and she loved everything there was to do there.

Amazing nursery, my little girl attended for just over 2 years and loved every moment. From helping with development to fully caring about my child the staff and facilities are fantastic. My little girl has just had her last day and is about to leave for big school and to say she is sad is an understatement
and has openly voiced how much she is going to miss all the teachers and her friends. Truly would recommend this nursery.

Brilliant nursery. My child has met so many milestones being at Kids Planet. He loves every single nursery nurse, all the girls make him feel very welcome when he arrives.
My child says he “loves his girls” at nursery.

We absolutely love this nursery and the staff. Since my son started here he's come on leaps and bounds, his speech, his interaction with the children. The staff are lovely and very helpful, they always tell me about my son's day. My son loves going into nursery and loves to see certain staff members
who he's grown a bond with. I'm going to be gutted when he leaves in September because he's grown such a good bond and lots of friendships. Excellent nursery and brilliant staff.

My children love coming to the nursery and have settled really well, thanks to the very friendly, caring and approachable staff they have. I find the nursery to be very child-focused and staff put parents' minds at ease when dropping the children off. Updates to my children can be seen on the app which
is a great tool so I can talk to my children about their day on their way home. They regularly bring home artwork which gets displayed at home. The nursery has great outdoor areas which my children love to access. The most important factor for me is the nursery works in partnership with me to achieve the best experience for my children.

I love how the staff treat my child, they treat them with so much love, if the kids need anything they will get it them. If they need a cuddle they will cuddle them. I’m so happy I chose this nursery I couldn’t imagine putting my child anywhere else. They are well fed they speak to the children so lovely.
The staff are awesome.

Wonderful nursery. Brilliant staff members. My granddaughter loves this nursery. She was shy at first but she is great now. They have helped me potty train her which was a big help.
They have taught her to sing, colours, numbers and much more.
This nursery is run very well thanks to the manager.

My children love coming to the nursery and have settled really well. The staff are very friendly and approachable and meet the children's needs to a high standard. Their communication skills are fantastic and on handover and pick-up, I always feel they take the time to give you all the relevant information.
I really enjoy seeing the photos of activities they have been doing online. The management team always greets you on arrival and is very professional and approachable if I have any concerns/information I wish to discuss, they always make the time to chat with me.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.991)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.991) out of 10 for Kids Planet Blackpool 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.991 for Kids Planet Blackpool is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.991

  • 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 Blackpool is based on 18 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 87 number of registered child places is 17.4, which has been reached with 18 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.
