Kids Planet Worsley is truly our baby's second happy home. I was very anxious about returning to work and leaving my baby in a nursery. But I am SO glad we went with kids planet as they take such good care of her and never once have I had to worry about whether she would be doing okay. She enjoys so
much she doesn't want to come back home! She has also learnt so much from nursery and has started talking as well!
I am extremely grateful to the staff of Kids Planet Worsley who have made this such a great experience for us! Xx

Since my son has started nursery at Worsley he has settled with the staff who ensure that the care and needs of each child is put first. He has lots of fun within a positive environment. Sending my little boy to Worsley nursery was the best decision and I can't wait for his nursery journey to continue.
The management team are lovely and supportive. The kitchen staff go above and beyond to ensure that there is always an alternative due to my child having an allergy. I feel confident to leave him with the staff knowing he is well looked after and seeing how much he has developed further and keeps on learning new things. As a parent I am very grateful that my son attends such an amazing nursery so that he can socialise and learn. When I pick up he always so happy and contented.

Couldn't ask for better care, staff are amazing and go above and beyond. My daughter loves it and has been there since 9 months, now 27 months. I especially appreciate all the updates throughout the day which refer to birth to 5 matters.

The Worsley nursery is incredible - huge rooms with lots of facilities, toys, and dedicated outdoor space for each age range; caring, engaged staff who genuinely care for my daughter's wellbeing; excellent food that caters to her dietary needs; engaging activities every day and a lovely convivial atmosphere.
All adds up to a great nursery and one that my daughter loves to attend - telling me she's had a good day when she comes home, saying she loves her key workers and is excited to see her friends in the morning.

My son has been attending Kids Planet Worsley for 10 months now and he absolutely loves it. All the staff are amazing and we value them highly. He enjoys the food and playing in the outdoor area. We had some concerns regarding his speech for his age so my husband spoke to his key worker regarding this
- she was extremely helpful and reassuring. We would definitely recommend Kids Planet Worsley to others.

I'm so happy with how well my daughter has settled into nursery. My husband and I feel really comfortable leaving her in such good hands. The nursery staff in the baby room are so friendly and kind. You can tell they really care about my daughter and her development. She's come on so much and has gained
so much more confidence. I feel relieved to know my daughter is happy at nursery and I love the updates on the portal.

The Christmas events were great and really got my child excited for her 3rd Christmas. She was a little unsure of Santa at nursery but it did help her enjoy the experience when we took her, so sweet they all got an age-appropriate gift and the parties were lovely.
The staff are always welcoming and
helpful.
Can't rate it enough!

My little boy loves coming to nursery he has learnt so much. He has so much fun every day he's in. His older brother started at this nursery when it first opened and I've never had any bad experiences. It's been positive all the way. The staff are so friendly and talkative as I usually have a conversation
when I go to pick my little one up. The food cooked is amazing as my little one usually ends up having extras, there are different cooked meals every day. The management has been so tremendous and always welcoming with a smile. They are like family and have always been amazing. Thank you kids planet Worsley for everything you do.

My son has been at the nursery since he was 1 and is now 2. They have been wonderful with him, making him feel safe and comfortable and his key workers have gone out of their way to build a great relationship with him. It has been such a comfort knowing that he has their care and attention when I drop
him off and he is incredibly fond of the staff in his room. The facilities are great and the regular access to room specific outside areas has been something that my little boy has really enjoyed. His language has developed so well whilst being there because of the activities he takes part in and the nursery has assisted in teaching him really good life skills. We have moved out of the area and are changing nurseries for this reason only, I can honestly say that it will be a wrench for us all to leave.

Really good experience, most importantly the staff genuinely seem to care and make every effort. Access can be tricky (fingerprint scanner works only one time in five) and the class sizes do seem large but overall our son loves going and we can definitely see the benefit in sending him. Benefits are
even more immediately obvious as they are so good at keeping the app updated!

We are so pleased we managed to get into this nursery. My little boy has been attending since July 2021. He's in the baby's room, but often wanders into the tots' room now he's wandering around.


The staff are wonderful with him. The care, attention and love they have for the children is fantastic.

I always get a call if he's had a bump being adventurous. The updates on the app and photos of how what he's up to help me feel connected.


The menu and the food is amazing. I wish I was eating there! Such variety and thought gone into this.


The staff always have time to find out about my son, they go out of their way to greet him (from both rooms). When we pick him up they give him a run down of how he's been that day.


Our son is absolutely thriving there. He's happy and runs into the room. He absolutely loves all the staff. He's learning loads, coming home with new words and dance moves.


Thanks for being so wonderful.

My child has been attending the nursery since March 2020. The staff were incredibly welcoming and we have felt very comfortable with the service provided all the way through - the activities they do each day vary nicely, but they have some similar toys that they feel familiar with. We get regular updates
via the app, but always get a full de-brief with a member of staff at pick up. My peace of mind comes from the way the staff in the baby room talk about my little boy, what he does that is funny, cute or silly, it just shows me how invested they are in him!

We would highly recommend Kids Planet Worsley. Our child settled in quickly and really enjoys attending. Staff are always very friendly and helpful and our child talks fondly of his teachers.


They often put special days on for certain holidays which our child gets really excited about.


The app

that gives daily feedback is also great as it’s regularly updated with new pictures.

Love this nursery. We get regular updates on the app for how our daughter is doing each day. There is plenty to do/play with and the activities planned are always very thoughtful (practiced un-wrapping presents before Christmas). The food is also excellent - plenty offered to the children regularly
throughout the day. Staff are friendly and approachable which makes drop-off very easy.

My child started the nursery several months ago and we are so pleased with the care they receive in the baby room. The staff made us feel comfortable from the start keeping us updated on progress as they settled in. Since starting, my child has progressed so much with their communication, confidence
and play, the staff always give me great updates at collection and I know from how happy my child is that they enjoy their time here!

My child has been attending the nursery since September (11 months). She settled into nursery straight away and looks forward to going nursery. When I pick her up, the nursery staff tell me how she’s been and what she has been up to. I am able to see most of this through the app which I like doing.
My child loves the food at nursery and the menu (vegetarian) is great for her! All the baby room staff are very friendly, especially the room leader and the rest of the team. I am always greeted with a smile! If my child has an injury (inevitable - she is exploring and learning to walk) nursery they always ring me to tell me. They also double check on the cctv to double check accidents and how it happened. The managers are always happy to try to help my request for additional days if I need them but sometimes this isn’t possible due to staffing. I’m very happy I chose this nursery for my child and I know she is having a great time and is safe when she is there. Thank you!

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.400)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.400) out of 10 for Kids Planet Worsley 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 11 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 4.977 for Kids Planet Worsley is calculated as follows: ( (129 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.977

  • 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 4.423 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Worsley is based on 11 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 130 number of registered child places is 26. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 26 = 0.423

  • 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.
