  • Kids Planet The Triangle, Oxford
Kids Planet The Triangle opened in July 2016 to provide childcare places for staff and students at Oxford University.

The nursery has four large and well-resourced rooms across two levels which all have access to the garden. The nursery is also Udeskole accredited which is Kids Planet's unique take on learning outdoors.

Children benefit from healthy nutritious food which gives them the energy to spend their days exploring and discovering through play.

A lovely, friendly atmosphere. Very well run with welcoming staff. The children are happy with good resources and space as well as access to forest school. Very adaptable and dedicated key workers with a great focus on developing the children.

Love this nursery which is (unfortunately) only for staff of the University of Oxford. We can't recommend it highly enough.
Great location and brilliant facilities indoor and outdoor. Out little one has been at Triangle for 3 years now and we couldn't be more pleased with the professionalism and passion
of the staff who care for our child.
Meals are amazing - we're so pleased at how nutritious they are and the kids love it!
Activities are well planned to appeal to little people.
The feedback about your child is so helpful knowing what's going on during their day and helping us to feel calm and confident about their care.

Both of our children have loved their time at The Triangle. The atmosphere for the children is very caring and supportive and feels like a home from home. The staff all know the children very well and are super friendly.


There are always lots of creative activities and we love the garden space and

the forest school.

I can only comment about our experience of the babies room because we had to move to a different city after that stage. I honestly cannot think how the experience of taking a young child to nursery could have been better. Our son was always happy to go in, beaming as he came out. We felt we knew the
people looking after him well, and that they quickly got to know his quirks, likes, and dislikes very well. Everyone was happy to respond to our queries and our worries, especially at the start. We never once felt patronised for being anxious about anything as parents, from the beginning right through to the end, and the responses we received were warm and clear. There are many excellent nurseries out there, but not many of those will feel like an extension of the family: The Triangle does. (Due to Covid restrictions, we weren't able to see much of the space itself or the garden; I have ticked 'Excellent' for 'Facilities' and 'Resources' as it didn't seem fair not to without seeing them!)

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.788)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.788) out of 10 for Kids Planet The Triangle is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 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 4.879 for Kids Planet The Triangle is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.879

  • 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 4.909 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet The Triangle is based on 16 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 88 number of registered child places is 17.6. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.6 = 0.909

  • 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.
