The nursery staff are all fantastic: kind, friendly, engaging, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. I have no doubt my daughter is in safe hands. She has flourished at Bradmore Road Nursery and loves it. There is routine, good food, lots of varied activities. Being at nursery has developed my daughter's social
skills and language development.

We are extremely pleased with Bradmore Road, its management team, and the staff in the room our child is in (Tot's). We love the fact some staff members have been around for so long and that they work well as a team (old and young) and generally have fun with the children. These facts make a big difference
to my experience of my child, who has settled in seamlessly and even after the holidays is so excited to be back. This experience is so different from other nurseries my older children have been at. Well done!

Sending my son to Bradmore Road has been a fab experience, so far he's enjoyed every room he's attended from babies to toddlers. The staff are attentive, kind, and caring, which makes leaving him to go to work a bit easier knowing he's in good hands. Highly recommend.

- Our son loves the nursery. He is excited to go every day, and it's a struggle to get him to leave at the end of each day!
- The focus on outside/outdoor activities is much appreciated for our energetic toddler. The range of outdoor activities is excellent.
- Our son has formed strong attachments
to the staff in his room and has the other toddlers. It's a lovely little community.

My son loves his time at Bradmore Road! The staff put a lot of effort into developing enriching activities and it is a happy and safe environment. He loves the opportunity to spend so much time outdoors, and the fun activities they do, and walks to university parks. We couldn't be happier with the care
he receives!

My daughter has loved her time at the nursery so far! She started in July, and I can see an improvement in her development - a lot more outgoing and vocal! The staff are all so lovely and caring. I feel this nursery is such a safe place and there is so much to see and do. She always has such a good
night's sleep after her days here!
Thank you all so much!

My child has just started at the setting and I am very happy with the nursery. The settling-in process was done amazingly. My child is very happy and settled with all the staff in his room. They are being very supportive of his weaning journey. The nursery provides good activities which they know that
my child will enjoy and will adapt for his age. My child enjoys going for walks with his age group.
Management has been very supportive during his time since joining the nursery. I am very happy with the care that is being provided and given to my child.

My daughter loves Bradmore Road Nursery. The activities provided for her to do are excellent and the nursery takes advantage of the excellent outdoor space by setting up sandpits, water pods and other things. I could not recommend Bradmore Road any more highly and the staff members are great too. Thanks,
Bradmore Road.

Our little one is having a fantastic time at the Bradmore Road Nursery. She has developed a strong attachment to all members of staff in her room. She very much enjoys participating in the varied daily activities (messy play, arts and crafts, regular walks/picnics to the nearby garden...). Seeing that
she's having such a good time at daycare has made returning to work much easier for her parents -- thank you!

We are delighted with the care our son has received at Bradmore Road. He started as a baby, and has spent all his nursery years there. We have been so touched by the close bonds he has formed with members of staff, and it is so clear that they genuinely care for him. Once, a transition to a new room
was a bit difficult for him, and the staff from his old room (whom he had really bonded with) admitted that they kept sneaking over to the new room to peek through the window to see how he was doing! The staff all seem to know him well, and give detailed accounts of how his day has been. The outdoor space at Bradmore is particularly nice, and we have appreciated how much outside time the children get. The staff member is a favorite of our son's, and he is excited to tell us what they learned that day, from roasting marshmallows to building a hedgehog house. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and Kids Planet Bradmore Road has been our village.

Kids Planet Bradmore Road is an excellent nursery. The staff are well-educated, friendly, caring, and supportive, with a focus on education and play. They organize creative activities for the kids every day, which my daughter very much enjoys (especially the messy play). The food is nutritious and well-liked
by my daughter. The staff organize excursions, and the kids also spend a lot of time outside in the garden when the weather allows. I receive daily updates on what my daughter gets up to, and how her learning progresses, every day.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.814)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.814) out of 10 for Kids Planet Bradmore Road 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.814 for Kids Planet Bradmore Road is calculated as follows: ( (277 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 334 Ratings = 4.814

  • 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 Bradmore Road is based on 28 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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8, which has been reached with 28 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.
