My little boy has been attending Kids Planet Winnington for the last year and a half! He is now 30 months old and skips into the toddler room excited to see his friends and all the staff ready to learn and play! Having worked within early years for the past 11 years as a teacher and EYFS lead, I honestly
could not recommend this nursery enough! They are a team of nurturing staff that work effortlessly to build relationships with the children and support them to make progress! I am always inspired by the range of activities and experiences they provide for the children that have undeniably contributed towards the confidence and development of my little boy. As a parent, I am constantly kept in the loop with daily activities, meals, nappy changes and upcoming events and I feel the setting goes above and beyond to engage parents and create a welcoming community that we can all feel part of! The nursery manager is very approachable and has been extremely accommodating. Thank you.

The staff is lovely and the manager is always going the extra mile to ensure the quality of work. Our both boys love the place, they are very well looked after. The chef is cooking homemade meals every day. Great experience overall.

Kids Planet Winnington is a lovely setting for children to stretch their imaginations. The decorations around the rooms are the best quality and really push the children to explore open-ended creative play. The children are happy and content and we see this in the learnings they come home with singing
songs they have learnt with their carers. All the staff are great and so welcoming to new children to their rooms and they said the transition between rooms was very smooth to mitigate an adverse effect of change.

We are so happy we found Kids Planet. Staff are always so friendly and kind. The improvement on our son's behaviour and social skills has been massive since he started. I trust them to have my son's best interest at all times. The little updates they post on the app gives us parents peace of mind, pictures
of activities posted makes us really happy and can see our son enjoying his time each and every time.

Could not recommend a better nursery. They have been so helpful with all my child’s specific needs and go out of their way to accommodate us where possible. My son loves going here and I’ve always felt at ease from day one.

Fantastic nursery would highly recommend.

Excellent nursery my son has been there for 18 months and has thrived. The staff are amazing and friendly. They work so hard and are always doing extra things with the children ie events, charities etc. My son loves going and will be sad when he has to leave.

My little girl has flourished since starting at Kids Planet Winnington. She’s in her third room now and in each room she has settled in really well and enjoyed her time there.
All the staff have her best interests at heart and it’s lovely to see her close relationships with staff and other children.
The activities she takes part in are all things she fully enjoys and we’re so happy she gets to experience new things on a weekly basis.

Such a brilliant nursery that my son has attended for over two years now. The staff are all extremely attentive, warm and welcoming. They have taken the time to get to know my son individually and have been a huge support through potty training. The activities for the children are second to none, with
Diddi Dance being a weekly favourite for my son. Thank you for all that you do.

My daughter’s first month at nursery has been a joy. I was really worried about having to leave her all day after being with her 24/7, but I can happily say that she absolutely loves it and I have no problem leaving her because I know she is going to have the most fun and enriching day with people who
genuinely really care about her and look after her as if she was an extension of their family. In particular, her key person is the most special person to her outside of her family, I can tell when I drop her off her face lights up when she sees her. The communication we get throughout the day about when she has eaten, napped, played and even had nappy changes, makes it feel as though I’m away from her for less time than I actually am. Also, the food she gets is better than anything we eat as adults at home which is another huge bonus! A thousand thanks to Kids Planet Winnington for helping us function as a working family!

Our little girl has been attending Kids Planet Winnington for around 2 years now. She's always been well looked after and cared for. There are varied activities and walks in the local community. She also particularly loves doing Diddly Dance in preschool. She's formed lovely bonds with the staff and
made friendships with other children. We would recommend Kids Planet Winnington to anyone.

My little boy is so happy and confident when he goes into nursery. He’s always so comfortable with all the staff and, as parents, there is no better feeling then feeling confident when leaving your tiny human.

Kids Planet is a fantastic nursery and Pre-School. The environment is perfect and the activities are so varied in and out of the building. Our daughter has absolutely thrived there and continues to be really settled and happy to go to Pre-School every day. She’s learnt so many wider social and communication
skills and is such a confident little girl now. She loves the independence promoted within Pre-School and enjoyed doing her first Christmas Play recently, which was brilliant and so good to see the confidence of the group for their age. The breadth of support to parents is amazing, so much advice on all topics and the staff get to know all of the children well. I really enjoy the app and the engagement with it through the day is really reassuring to parents. I couldn’t ask for more and it has surpassed my expectations (based on previous experiences out of area) in every way.

I really think Kids Planet in Winningnton is the best nursery in Northwich. Ever since my child started in 2022, I have always been so impressed with the activities and events the staff implement. From going on adventures to the garden centre, to learning about different cultures and international holidays,
to hosting community events such as a Halloween party. The management team is exceptional, they create home learning kits where children learn how to make meals, implement proper teeth brushing technique and create adventure stories with a take home teddy. In front of every room has a sign of key learning that week, sign language and upcoming activities. My child’s key person is so thoughtful and caring, she provides in-depth briefing on the day and support when any concerns we have with development. My child was off sick and my key person sent a message asking how my child was, it meant the world to me and really appreciate my key person checking in on my child.

Our daughter has attended for five months now and she absolutely loves it. The staff in the baby room are so friendly and caring, our little one adores them. They are great at putting you at ease and work with you to support your child. The app lets you see all of the fun that they get up to, they are
always doing great little activities. The food always sounds great and offers different taste experiences - it must be good as our daughter usually eats it all and more! We’re so glad we chose this nursery and can see how it’s helped our daughter develop too.

We have had a great experience from baby room to toddlers so far! Any issues that have arisen are always dealt with positively and quickly. The range of activities and events that are put on for the children and for the families are brilliant. I always enjoy seeing what my son has been up to throughout
the day! The staff are friendly and they really know the children inside out, my son loves it and runs in at drop off!

Incredible staff always ready to help in an instant. Children learn and are included in all indoor and outdoor activities. Events are outlined and reviewed on a monthly basis. A menu for food is printed and they really cater for child and help out parents. It is their home away from home. Our daughter
really loves being in nursery and she has been through every room since it has opened. Well done Kids Planet Winnington.

Our little boy started at Kids Planet Winnington in September 2023 and has really come to love going. He has really progressed with his learning and understanding. All the staff are really friendly and professional and all know our little boys name even if they aren’t involved in his room. All facilities/equipment
are always clean and tidy and the food they serve is always fresh and fully enjoyed by our little boy. Would highly recommend.

We have been with the nursery coming up to two years now and think it’s wonderful, well managed and always efficient. They really value their staff and the children. They have worked closely with my daughter and she has come on leaps and bounds since first starting. They provide 1-1 care if needed and
always put me at ease that they are doing everything they can for my child. Staff are friendly and hard-working, always keeping us up to date with what’s going on. Thank you for everything!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.959)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.959) out of 10 for Kids Planet Winnington 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 49 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 49 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 4.959 for Kids Planet Winnington is calculated as follows: ( (565 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 588 Ratings = 4.959

  • 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 Winnington is based on 49 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 125 number of registered child places is 25, which has been reached with 49 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.
