It's a lovely nursery with the friendliest and most helpful staff. I can be at ease knowing they really care about every child they look after. Our son has come on in leaps and bounds since he started here.
The range of activities they do with the children is fantastic, they are not only educational
but fun too.

My baby girl started this nursery in February and it has been the best decision I made to pick this nursery.
The girls are 100% with my girl and if any problems they ring me straight away.
They are all so happy and friendly each day so caring and loving to every child, I am so happy with everything
they do for my daughter.
The management team is amazing

I have a 1 year old and 4 year old that attend Kids Planet and they both love it! The staff are friendly and attentive to each child and their needs, and they really seem to have a great bond with each child. It's always nerve-wracking sending your child to nursery, but the staff listen to your queries
no matter how silly you feel and make you feel comfortable leaving your children in their care.
The app is regularly updated throughout the day so that we as parents are kept informed of their day which is great. The menu is varied and freshly prepared and it is also very clean. The preschool children have sports sessions, dance classes, Spanish lessons etc. And lots of outdoor time. The nursery has a very warm feeling and I'll be sad to see my children leave when the time comes!

My son has been going to Kids Planet just before he turned 2. The staff are absolutely fantastic. Nothing is too much trouble. The love and care are truly felt and you know your child is in safe hands. My son is currently on the pathway for autism. The team have been great, they approached us so politely
to ask us if we had an idea that our son may be autistic and all the way through to getting his referrals and so on. I cannot recommend this nursery enough.
I look forward to my daughter starting this September knowing she will be in the best caring hands a mother could ask for.

My child has recently joined (baby room) and I can't praise the staff enough for guiding him, and us, through this transition. The room has plenty of different activities and areas for the babies, there's a good staff-to-child ratio and the communication from the nursery is great. My son is coming on
leaps and bounds and I'm glad we chose to send him here.

My son absolutely loves his time at Kids Planet Leigh he is in the preschool room. All the staff are so attentive, friendly and caring. My son has been diagnosed with autism and his development has benefited so much by his wonderful SEND co-worker and also his key worker. We as parents have been so
supported during our son’s journey with his special educational needs. The nursery has such great spaces aimed for the children to play and learn in their room, sensory playroom and also their outdoor area!! I highly recommend Kids Planet Leigh!

My little girl has been attending this nursery for over two years. She is currently in preschool and absolutely loves it! The girls are so caring and I know that my daughter is being very well looked after!
You get a very warm welcome in reception from the nursery manager!
The girls give her cuddles
when she wants them and they are super compassionate. They treat her like their own and I honestly couldn’t ask for anything more! They regularly send pictures via the app to keep me posted on what fun activities she has been partaking in. My daughter and I adore all the girls in the nursery. They always have a smile on their faces and are very polite and welcoming. It gives out a warm comforting feel! There are three members of staff who are just amazing people and my daughter adores them! She does have a soft spot for two other members of staff, in particular, too!
I would highly recommend this nursery to friends and family and anyone who is looking for a nursery that provides everything and more that you want for your child.

Amazing nursery. The team is really connected not only to each child, but to parents too. I know my daughter is safe and learning in a loving, supportive environment while I'm at work. Their activities are much fun and we get to do home learning too with the nursery's guidance. I also love receiving
notes through the app of how my daughter's day has gone.

Our little boy loves nursery! He is excited every morning when he knows its a nursery day. He is met by happy, enthusiastic and welcoming staff members who seem to really care about the children they look after. The rooms are always clean and tidy and we always know our child is in a safe environment.
The
management are always approachable and seem to really listen to us if ever we have any questions. They should all be really proud of the work that they all do.

Couldn't recommend this nursery enough. My son has been attending since July 2021 and the progress he has made is incredible. Every member of staff is friendly, welcoming and knows what my son is up to. My son is partially deaf so requires more help than other children but the staff are so invested
in being inclusive, learning sign language to boost his communication skills. The facilities are also brilliant, especially the garden and the fees are very reasonable, considering how much you get included in the price! I feel like we couldn't have picked a better nursery to send our son to!

Tender Years nursery in Leigh is a fantastic setting for babies and young children. The staff are warm, friendly and caring! They really do go above and beyond to welcome all parents/carers and most importantly the children that they look after. The rooms are beautiful and very well equipped to ensure
they promote a happy environment and a safe and secure place for the children to play and learn. I can’t recommend this nursery enough and guarantee that you won’t be disappointed if you send your child/children here.

Tender Years nursery has honestly been an amazing nursery for both me and my little boy! When putting him in I was so nervous and really scared, as it was his first time going to nursery and my first time leaving him with anyone else other than family. The manager and the staff were absolutely brilliant
in reassuring me and keeping me updated with how he was getting on. After his first couple of days, I already felt at ease as I felt constantly reassured he was being well looked after. I’ve had no problems whatsoever in nearly a year that he’s been attending. He absolutely loves it there! His key worker has also been absolutely perfect from the minute she met him! She is amazing at her job and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better key person for him. The staff at Tender Years are so lovely and fabulous at what they do!

My little boy started at Tender Years Leigh Nursery around a month ago. From the moment I walked around the nursery and met the manager and all the staff, I was so impressed with how kind, professional and informative they all are. There are of lots of wooden toys to play with including a huge train
and sandpit outside which my boy absolutely loves. My little boy has already come on leaps and bounds in just a month with his walking skills and babbling and he genuinely gets so excited when we pull up to the nursery gates. I love the updates that I get throughout the day via the app with photos and texts and it even shows you what food he has eaten, how many bottles he’s had and his nap times. He also loves all the food that is provided, which is very comforting to know that he is having lovely home-cooked meals. Overall, what makes this nursery a success is the amazing staff and fantastic facilities.

This was the first time my son would be going to a nursery, so I was very apprehensive about sending him. I saw this nursery online and thought I’d give it a try with him. He seemed wary at first, but once I am out the way, he settles down. You receive updates and pictures through the app from the nursery,
which makes you feel more at ease and relaxed knowing that they are not unsettled. The staff are lovely and friendly. Would definitely recommend the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.465)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.465) out of 10 for Kids Planet Leigh 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 12 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 4.965 for Kids Planet Leigh is calculated as follows: ( (138 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.965

  • 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 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Leigh is based on 12 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. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.5

  • 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.
