Absolutely love Linden House!
My daughter has been going to this nursery for over 2 years and has excelled in every bit of her development. The staff are amazing and will always go that extra mile. The facilities are second to none, they have a Forest School, they learn French and always visiting
the nursing home next door.
Wouldn't want my child to go anywhere else! Thank you for being amazing :)

My son started at the nursery six months ago and settled in beautifully. The staff are all so welcoming and caring. It has been so nice to see my little boy make new friends and build lovely relationships with the staff. They keep us well informed about what he has been up to during the day and we love
seeing photos of him getting stuck into a range of great activities!

My son and daughter both go to linden house and love it. Especially forest school which makes it different to most other nurseries in the area. The staff are fantastic and are all super friendly. My son has struggled slightly with the changes from linden house to kids planet but there have been lots
of improvements especially outside.
We just hope forest school will go back to the old site as it's confusing to my son and he misses it!

My little girl started Kids Planet Linden House in June 2024. She was 10 months old and had very much been attached to me since she was born. I was looking for a nursery that would nurture and care for her like she was one of their own. I toured every nursery in the area and I got such a lovely, homely
warm and welcoming feeling from Linden House.
Linden House have not only supported my little girl to settle into nursery life but also helped me adjust to going back to work and leaving my girl in the care of someone else. I will be forever grateful for the experience I have had. My girl is now in teenies and is so well cared for. She's learnt so much since being at nursery and is growing up so fast.
I have full faith that every member of staff cares for my child and others with their whole heart. Thank you Linden!

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.622)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.622) out of 10 for Kids Planet Linden House 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 4 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 5.000 for Kids Planet Linden House is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.622 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Linden House is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 81 number of registered child places is 16.2. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.2 = 0.247

  • 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.
