Kids Planet Shrewsbury, is located in the former Chiquito restaurant on Battlefield Road. The building had a complete fit out, which includes a sensory room and large outdoor areas. The 120 place nursery provides the highest standard of childcare for babies through to preschool. Just like other Kids Planet nurseries, the children's interests will be at the heart of everything that they do. The enabling environment will provide ample opportunity for each child to learn, play and grow at their own pace and pursue their interests.

My son started at 11 months old and is now 4 years old. He enjoys his time at Kids Planet and they have helped him develop and grow. The staff are always helpful and approachable and will go above and beyond. The nursery is always clean and safe for everybody. I would highly recommend Kids Planet Shrewbury.

My son started in baby room and is now in toddler room and will soon to be moving to pre school room. I have never had any issues at drop off and more often than not at pick ip he'd happily continue to stay even after a full day. He likes all staff and I have had a great experience with them too. I
always recommend Kids Planet to friends.

I was pleasantly impressed by the cleanliness and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and experienced. The communication with parents is very good. I receive daily updates through their app, photos, and descriptions of what my child did throughout the day! The meals provided are nutritious and
well balanced!

Our son joined Kids Planet babies room in January 2025. The office team went through everything really thoroughly, we had a tour of the room and met all the lovely staff who would be caring for our son.
He has settled in really well, they always keep us updated and he gets to take part in lots of activities
as well as being able to mix with other toddlers his age.
We are looking forward to our son moving up through the rooms at Kids Planet and helping his development and preparing him for reception. Thank you.

My son has recently moved up a room and his development since then has been amazing. He is socialising with slightly older children and his speech is improving. He gets to do lots of amazing activities and they spend lots of time outdoors. The staff are really caring and he loves his time at nursery.

During half term I needed additional hours for my pre-schooler, Kids Planet Shrewsbury were more than accommodating with the short notice.
Due to unexpected work related matters staff made sure both my children were well looked after as always my children love all the staff & look forward to attending.
I can get on with work knowing my children are in safe hands.

My daughter has just started at Kids Planet. The reason why I brought her here? Because my two older children came here when it opened back in 2020 and they loved it! I was very sad when they left, but so glad my youngest daughter now gets to experience this amazing nursery! I remember crying when I
first went there. The rooms were beautifully presented and the staff were friendly and professional. They attend to children's needs on a one-to-one basis and provide the support that they need. My eldest son required extra help and he got it. They were very patient and caring as he struggled regularly. My youngest daughter who has just started is shy and she has been cared for and supported to make the transition smooth and as comfortable as possible for a little one who wants her mum 24/7. I have never had any concerns regarding their care and would highly recommend Kids Planet Shrewsbury to anyone! So glad to be back! Thank you!

It was not always great due to the management changes and communication issues. When my child was eligible for 30 hours free, it was challenging to speak to someone about the arrangements and plan what would suit us and our family. I nearly gave up and took my son out of the nursery as it was so stressful
and the invoices were coming incorrectly calculated. Also, I still have not received any response for the speech and language therapists that I requested over a year ago. However, I would like to acknowledge that my child enjoys attending the nursery. I appreciate the opportunities given to make friends. The activities offered appear to be adequate for supporting the kid's skills development.

My daughter has been here since she was 9 months old and is now 2.5 years old. They have always lots of engaging and fun activities both indoors and outdoors to encourage the children to explore and learn. My daughter's communication has absolutely blossomed since being here and she is always encouraged
to be herself and express herself. The staff are great and very supportive of parents and children. The food is fab - children never go hungry. Overall, my daughter loves it and so do we!

My daughter started April 2024 at Kids Planet Shrewsbury. In the beginning, she was upset because I was leaving her but now she likes to be there. Have a lots of fun. The staff are friendly and polite, always with smile. The end of the day they told me what she is doing all day. What she likes and what
she is learning . She started speaking more English (This is second language for her). Even she likes more English songs now.
I am very happy with this.

All the staff have really got to know my child. Although turnover has been high at times, the nursery has done their best to keep us informed and ensure transitions happen as well as they can. L has attended the setting for almost 2 years now and he loves going in. Questions are dealt with promptly
and professionally.

Since my daughter has been attending this nursery, she has come on leaps and bounds with her talking, communication, and connecting with other children. She comes home and sings nursery songs and shows all the moves to join with the song. The nursery teachers are a great asset to the nursery and are
all very welcoming and kind. I know my daughter is very well taken care of and I am kept updated throughout the day with a very handy app for parents to be able to know what their child does daily.

I could not be happier that I found Kids Planet, my son loves going there and it's so nice to see the amazing staff make such a fuss of him when I drop him off. I can see he has formed such fantastic relationships with them and it's comforting for me to see that they've learned his likes/dislikes and
have taken the time to get to know him. The activities they provide are so inventive. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.450)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.450) out of 10 for Kids Planet Shrewsbury is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 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 4.700 for Kids Planet Shrewsbury is calculated as follows: ( (170 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.7

  • 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 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Shrewsbury 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 120 number of registered child places is 24. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.75

  • 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.
