I don't have a bad word to say about Kids Planet Chorley. The staff are all amazing and are so caring towards my little boy, two in particular. My son loves going and his speech, communication and social skills have improved so much. Their facilities are amazing and he does something different every
day. Thank you so much!

My child loves the nursery they attend, most staff are lovely and easy to communicate with.
One thing I wish is that the app was updated more often as this is the only way I am able to see what my child is doing in the day without ringing and checking in.

My daughter has been attending nursery for three months now. She has settled in really well. The staff in the baby room are fantastic and have been so supportive.
She is enjoying playing in all the areas. She is enjoying all the food that is offered to her. They keep on top of her nappies and let
us know, on the app, any updates. It's also lovely when they post photos of her playing.


Staff are in the process of making some improvements which is positive.

My little girl goes to this nursery and we have never had a single problem if ever there has been an incident in the day they have always contacted me and if no luck called her dad straight away. She is always so happy when I pick her up and the staff always go out there way to be so helpful. Will be
sad when my daughter leaves for primary school but will highly recommend this nursery to others.
Thanks, Kids Planet.

I honestly can't recommend Kids Planet Chorley enough. My daughter has been at Kids Planet since she was 12 months old and has loved every moment. The staff goes above and beyond for the children and families. Nothing is too much trouble for staff in the classrooms or management. The care and support
from staff go a long way and are always to a high standard. Thank you, Kids Planet Chorley.

As we close the year, my son has been in nursery three days a week. Since day one, he's been welcomed by the staff and his key person is brilliant. Every rotating member of staff knows his name even if they're not assigned to the room directly. He looks forward to the car ride and smiles broadly when
he sees the building, knowing what's inside. The space is so big and filled with toys that it provides a safe area for him to develop and explore which I can't offer in my tiny home. My favourite thing about the place, besides the fact it is purpose-built and new and clean, is the fingerprint entrance, the strict "no tailgating" rule that all parents I've encountered respect and enforce, and the security cameras. Safety is #1, fun is a close second. The only downside I see is food is mostly carbs/starchy foods, I'd do more vegetables and fruit but it's by no means unhealthy- that's just my personal preference.

After just starting back at work from maternity my baby had to start nursery quite young which was really heartbreaking as a new mother. He settled into the baby room so well and the staff have beautiful bonds with him, they have lovely activities set up and we love seeing pictures on the app. The management
team are always welcoming in the morning and goes above and beyond to help with any queries.

Our daughter started in September 2022 in babies room and since then I can see how far she has progressed and developed and that is all thanks to amazing ladies working at Kids Planet, Chorley. In babies room, one member of staff specifically was more than kind and now in tots room, the staff are just
the same. They always share how her day has been, what went well and what did not, what she ate and what she has done. They are sharing pictures during the day which is great comfort for me as a parent to see what my little baby is up to. I have nothing just positive to share. We love Kids Planet Chorley. I was apprehensive to put such a small baby into a care setting, but they made it so easy, our daughter is happy there.

My child has been attending Kids Planet Chorley for around six months now and has completely settled into this fantastic nursery, so much so that they sometimes cry when we pick them up to go home!
The facilities and building are all modern, and everything is extremely clean and tidy. The staff and
management are fantastic and truly care about the children.
We get regular updates on our child's day in the app and are sent pictures when they do fun activities.
I would highly recommend this nursery.

A bright, airy environment full of exciting opportunities for children of all ages. My little girl started here a few weeks after they opened their doors. She loves the outdoor environment, especially the water fountain and hammock! The staff are kind, friendly and caring and are happy to work alongside
your family to support the growth and development of your child.

My little boy started this nursery in April after attending a previous nursery that me and my little boy grew to dislike very much.
My little boy used to cry in the nursery car park at his previous nursery because he did not want to go.
With this nursery in the couple of months he has been there he
has absolutely blossomed and he absolutely loves going, he asks me every day am I going to school today?
The staff are so attentive and friendly, they keep me constantly updated on his progress which I think is brilliant.
The manager is amazing, I was a bit nervous about leaving him at first after our previous experience with his old nursery and she was so reassuring and understanding. Nothing is too much trouble for the management or the staff they are all incredible.
Absolutely give this nursery 100 stars if I could.

From before the start of my child going here there are no words to say how great they are. My child has been made to feel like they are the only child in there (even though they aren't). The staff have got to know them and what makes them tick.


Best of all the staff here have given me my cheeky,

happy little child back after a bad experience which no money can ever buy.


5 stars is not enough for this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.271)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.271) out of 10 for Kids Planet Chorley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 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 4.771 for Kids Planet Chorley is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.771

  • 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 Chorley 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.
