Caring, knowledgeable and professional staff. Always a warm welcome for parents and children. A lovely nurturing environment for my son who loved his time here. I would recommend Kids Planet Audenshaw to anyone looking for childcare or a school holiday club.

My little girl started Preschool last September and had previously had a bad experience at another nursery, she was upset and reserved but within two weeks of settling with the amazing staff, she loved it. Since then she has grown so much in her personality, she asks me every day 'is it nursery today
mummy?'
The staff are amazing, friendly and professional and actually care about your child's development. She has made lots of friends and loves it that much that she will be remaining in Preschool till next September when she starts reception instead of changing to school nursery. Thanks so much to all of you.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. My daughter attends and has done for the past year. She goes in with a smile and comes home with an even bigger smile. The staff are welcoming and nurturing. They have supported my daughter with her speech delay and I have never felt judged.

Our daughters love the nursery and after-school/holiday club!
There always appear to be a lot of different activities for the kids to do! Facilities are always well-presented and clean. The staff are amazing - very friendly, professional and polite.
Meals appear to be varied and nutritionally balanced.
Must be very tasty as our youngest is usually wanting double portions!

Absolutely amazing nursery. My little boy has excelled whilst being here. He's learnt so much, gets so excited about going in and he loves the staff who work there. My little boy is always talking about three particular members of staff and all the fun things he's done with them. My little girl will
start in December and I have no worries about her starting and I know she will be well cared for.

My son has been to this nursery for many months, and there hasn't been a day I haven't been happy with the staff - all are very friendly and helpful, and if you have any questions, they are happy to answer. I would definitely recommend to anyone to bring their children to this nursery. Thank you for
all you're help.

Kids Planet Audenshaw is a happy and welcoming environment for my child.
The staff are second to none displaying genuine care and interest in my child's life and makes coming to the nursery enjoyable.
I have always felt at ease with staff members in each of the rooms my child has been in, and have
always felt that I can contact the nursery, if necessary to check in on my child.
My child partakes in a good variety of learning and play activities that help towards her development. The outside facilities are wonderful and outside play is encouraged at every opportunity, which is wonderful!

The staff and management at the nursery are lovely; however the food choices are poor, there is no variety in the meals anymore, often the same thing is being given multiple times a week.
The appearance of the outside spaces (car park) and garden are now looking a little dull and tired could do with
a good spruce up.
The staff at the nursery are wonderful and always go above and beyond to care for my child.

The facilities are top-notch. The rooms are bright, spacious and filled with a variety of age-appropriate toys and educational materials. The outdoor play area is designed to encourage physical activity and imaginative play. Amazing staff. Each teacher is warm, nurturing and genuinely passionate about
early childhood education. They take time to get 2 know each child, fostering a sense of trust and comfort. Their dedication is seen in the way they communicate with parents, providing regular updates on our child's progress and daily activities. They have a well-rounded curriculum that balances structured learning with free play. Activities are designed to promote cognitive, social and emotional development, with a strong emphasis on fostering creativity and independence. Our child has particularly enjoyed the art projects and storytime sessions, which have significantly enhanced her love for learning. Nutrition is another area where they excel. They provide healthy, balanced meals, ensuring that every child is well-nourished throughout the day.

Such a fantastic, caring team that plan many different learning activities catering for all. They work with parents no matter the concern to keep consistency for the children. E.g feeding, naps and potty training.
My 2 children absolutely adore going to nursery here and have made friends for life.

Kids Planet Audenshaw is the most incredible nursery. The staff are amazing every single one of them. My son has been attending for almost 3 years now and in that time I haven't had one bad experience. They go above and beyond for children and parents. My son is nonverbal and autistic and the care and
support they have shown to me and my son I will never ever forget. They have always supported my son to achieve amazing steps in his development and I cannot put into words how thankful I am to this nursery and the staff.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough and will forever be shouting from the rooftops how amazing the nursery is.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.895)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.895) out of 10 for Kids Planet Audenshaw 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.895 for Kids Planet Audenshaw is calculated as follows: ( (262 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.895

  • 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 Audenshaw is based on 24 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 102 number of registered child places is 20.4, which has been reached with 24 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.
