We are extraordinarily happy with the care service that the nursery has provided. We are super satisfied with our son's key person and have dearly loved to receive the daily updates through the app.

We recently relocated to the UK from overseas. The nursery is very nice and welcoming, plus they do their best to accommodate to our daughters needs i.e the language barrier. I think the best review is itself the face that our daughter who didn't speak a word in English three weeks ago was able to find
new friends both in teachers and in other children and wants to return to the nursery everyday. I don't think we could have chosen better with this place.

We found the nursery in Sept and so far our experience has been super positive. The staff has been very supportive, helping our child to settle in even though he doesn't know English yet.

We have two boys at Woodstock Road Nursery and despite them being polar opposite personalities both boys have received fantastic care and had a wonderful experience. We, as parents have felt welcomed and supported, and are extremely glad that both boys have been able to attend the same wonderful place.
We're looking forward to their little sister starting in Spring and feel reassured that she will receive the same excellent care.

Our son is in the preschool group and he feels completely at home there. I can say only positive things about the preschool. The transition from Rising 3's was seamless. I like how the team encourages independence in the little ones while still being supportive and caring.

The nursery is extremely caring and responsible. There are lots and lots of activities for the children and parents are kept informed all the time with photos. I am really impressed by the amount of thought and attention to detail that is put into planning the day for the kids. The food is excellent
and balanced. Overall we feel it's very good and could not ask for more!

A really positive experience. Great routine for my son ages 14 months - lots of opportunity for messy play and the varied meals are great. Despite him being dairy-free!

This nursery provided a great atmosphere for kids. We have a great time here with my daughter. My daughter goes very happily to the nursery, always happy, always smiling. The staff of the nursery are fantastic with kids giving them an opportunity to develop their personalities and express themselves.
They do organise a variety of learning and creativity activities that my daughter adores. Overall, an excellent experience.

We are incredibly happy with the nursery. Our daughter loves coming here and gets on well with all the staff. They are very responsive to anything we have asked (for example specific requests around a recent health issue), and flexible to changes in dates. Nothing but positive things to say!

My son has settled into Kids Planet Woodstock Road from a very early (baby!) age, and it is lovely to see how the environment in each room has evolved and helped shape his development. The expectations have shifted slightly, each time he goes up a room, but he has come on having fun and feeling included.
The staff always pay attention to his individual personality, and set boundaries in a kind and mutually respectful way. We have put a lot of trust in the nursery to navigate his development and keep him safe - thank you!

The nursery is an amazing place. My kid loved going here from day one. Fussy for five minutes in the first two days, but absolutely settled for the rest of the day. The staff made elaborate arrangements for the kids' activities for the day. My kid also seems to love the food here.

We have noticed how our daughter enjoys her time at nursery. This is such a safe and nurturing environment where she learns so much every day. She has built friendships and developed so many skills, especially language. Her English is improving exponentially. Thank you for making that possible.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.807)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.807) out of 10 for Kids Planet Woodstock 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 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.807 for Kids Planet Woodstock Road is calculated as follows: ( (421 Excellents x 5) + (87 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 514 Ratings = 4.807

  • 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 Woodstock Road is based on 42 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 82 number of registered child places is 16.4, which has been reached with 42 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.
