What a lovely nursery! My child has improved so much since attending, and most importantly, she is happy there. The staff are friendly, supportive, and approachable and always greet the children in a personal way.

Our son is very happy at the nursery, he always comes home and says he has had a good day and tells us about what he has done. The staff are always very friendly, supportive and informative. As parents, we are very glad we chose to send our son to this nursery.

Faultless experience. Our child has settled in perfectly and we couldn't ask for any more. He's well looked after and learning very well in a positive environment. The facilities are great and our child is always looking forward to going to nursery.

All the staff at Kids Planet Kingswinford are fantastic. They are all so caring and lovely towards our son every day. They always make sure that he's happy and we are always updated with everything he has got up to throughout the day. It's a fantastic nursery.

A warm and welcoming facility which our children enjoy attending. Feedback is prompt and detailed. The staff know our children well and they seem genuinely interested in their lives. They have adapted well to the needs of our eldest who uses Makaton to communicate.

My little boy loves attending this nursery. He walks in with a smile on his face and I'm greeted with a smile when I collect him. The staff are so friendly and helpful and are always informative when relaying how his day has been. My son has attended since around the age of 1 so has been in the baby
room and the toddler room, both of which have been positive experiences. He has developed some lovely relationships with the staff, particularly with his current keyworker.

I knew within the first few minutes of the show around that the nursery was the one I wanted to send my little girl to. She was just so confident and comfortable from the off, joining in and even putting her arms out for a cuddle from the staff. She settled in straight away like she had been there for
years and has just continued to develop and thrive. She can't wait to go in each time not even looking back to say bye as she walks in. All the staff are so friendly it is just the best place for little ones.

My little one started at the end of June and even though he gets a little bit upset when I leave him (only 10 months old), I know he is in the best hands and happy once he is in. He enjoys exploring the range of activities on offer and is developing his social skills by mixing with other children. I
love receiving the updates on the app, especially the photos and I like that we can have term time only. The facilities on offer are some of the best we have seen when viewing nurseries and I look forward to seeing how my little one progresses over the coming months.

Staff are so friendly and helpful and are great with the children. My son has settled into nursery so well and loves his time there. He learns so much at nursery and I think it's great how many activities he does throughout the day. The garden area is very spacious. The staff are also very informative
about what my son has done throughout the day. I feel that my son is looked after well and is very safe there. I would recommend this nursery highly.

The staff are remarkable, and the love and care taken in helping to nurture and understand my child and his needs, what works for him and how to get him ready for school.
My son has had his ups and downs with his behaviour over the years, and the patience displayed and wanting to overcome any problems,
to get the best out of my son has been noted and appreciated.
Now my boy has turned a corner and I am so proud of how he is growing up, I have the staff to thank for helping to bring the best out of my boy, as he is your typical boisterous, excitable lad, not liking being told no, and prefers to do his own thing, giving him the time and consideration as to what works for him, which proved to be the need of being outside, to burn off all his energy in order to be able to come back into the classroom and learn how to behave etc.
I shall be sending my daughter to this nursery when she turns 2 as I wouldn't want anyone else to help bring her up in her early years.

My son has been with Kids Planet from 7 months to age 3 and he has loved every minute of his time here. The team are wonderful, the setting is fantastic and most importantly I have never once had to worry about the care he receives. The activities planned for the children are always wonderful and the
passion the team have shone through in how engaged our little man has always been in what they plan for them. If you're considering nurseries we can't recommend Kids Planet and the team highly enough. We're going to miss you all so much!

Fantastic staff, it's good to see the children enjoy being at Kingswinford. My daughter only started this year, the staff were brilliant due to her nerves. She loves the activities and we keep running out of room on the fridge to display her crafts.
The food is always good and options are available
should my little one not like anything.

Excellent nursery, so glad I chose it for my twins. The staff are lovely and you can tell they really care about the children. The staff is always happy to talk at the door/answer any questions. They were great when the children were settling in and were more than happy to answer my calls several times
a day to check on them! The children are learning so much, especially numeracy. They always come out happy and talk about the nursery positively.

Reply from Lauren Lavington, Area Manager at Kids Planet Kingswinford

Thank you so much for this review, it means so much to all our team and we are so thankful we have had the chance to share in the twin's journey!

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.456)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.456) out of 10 for Kids Planet Kingswinford 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 14 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 4.891 for Kids Planet Kingswinford is calculated as follows: ( (147 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.891

  • 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 4.565 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Kingswinford is based on 14 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 124 number of registered child places is 24.8. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 24.8 = 0.565

  • 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.
