My children have both been at Kids Allowed Knutsford from very early ages. They have not only enjoyed the whole Kids Allowed experience and made friends for life but the support they have had from the amazing staff has given both my children the best start in life. They have grown in confidence. The
prep school at Kids Allowed Knutsford set my children up ready for school with PE lessons to educational daily trips and teaching time. I just can't recommend a better start in life for any child.

Reply from Leann Jackson, Centre Manager at Kids Planet Knutsford

Thank you for such positive feedback, it made me smile. I'm so pleased that our long-standing Prep school has delivered the great service that you expected and your children developed into confident little learners ready for school.

Since my little boy has started at Kids Allowed Knutsford at the age of 7 months the staff have been extremely helpful, caring and made me feel so at ease leaving him for the 1st time when I went back to work. You are always greeted by happy smiley faces and they are always happy to help if you have
any questions. Now in Waddlers he is developing faster than I could have imagined and is doing so well.
The nursery is always very clean and tidy and the variety of food they get is amazing and I feel this has helped in him not being a fussy eater.

Reply from Leann Jackson, Centre Manager at Kids Planet Knutsford

Thank you, Vicky, for such lovely feedback. I am so happy that we helped make the transition back to work a little easier for you and that you are both so delighted with your experience at Kids Allowed.

The care my child receives is fantastic.


Kids Allowed is so nurturing and loving. The facilities are fantastic and the children are taken on lots of great trips.


My only concern is the quality of "teaching". My child has been taught to say "them shoes" instead of "those shoes". I don't think the

grammar/vocab of the staff is always up to scratch.

Reply from Leann Jackson, Centre Manager at Kids Planet Knutsford

Thank you for taking the time to provide such lovely feedback. I'm so pleased to hear that our team provide such a loving environment for your children. All feedback is important to us and we will reflect on them all.

My children have attended since 10 months of age and now the eldest has just started primary school. In every room, we have received excellent care, support in a loving, safe and nurturing environment which is age and ability appropriate.


The staff are friendly and approachable, nothing is too much

trouble for them. The flexibility in swapping sessions is great and the wrap around care provided is excellent. I don't know how I would have managed without this nursery. The biggest test of all, my children absolutely love attending and run in happily each day smiling.

Nursery and staff are amazing, my daughter has numerous allergies and the staff have been great in ensuring she is monitored and her food is as it should be for her. When she has had reactions, small or extremely bad, it was handled brilliantly. I wouldn't want anyone else looking after her as I have
to work.

Reply from Leann Jackson, Centre Manager at Kids Planet Knutsford

Thank you Gemma for taking the time to provide such positive feedback. We pride ourselves on having robust procedures in place so that all our children can attend Kids Allowed with the sound knowledge all their needs are being met. I'm so pleased that we provide you with peace of mind.

My daughter absolutely loves Kids Allowed Knutsford. She looks forward to it and is always so excited on a nursery day and has a fabulous time. Her confidence has improved beyond any expectation I had given that she is currently only attending a couple of sessions a week. She has a fun packed time doing
lots of interesting activities and is always happy to talk about all of the lovely things she has done.


The staff are amazing with my daughter and treat her like an individual which is very reassuring for me.


Reply from Leann Jackson, Centre manager at Kids Planet Knutsford

What wonderful feedback, thank you so much. There is nothing we want more than to hear how excited children are to attend the centre, it's what we get out of bed for each day. I'm so happy that we are meeting your expectations.

Kids Allowed Knutsford is the only nursery I considered six years ago. They offered the flexibility I needed to enable me to continue to work and so much more. The staff are excellent and create a safe, fun environment for the children.


They are professional and trained so well in all they do. I

couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Both my children have attended Kids Allowed since being babies and I have been so happy with the care given in all aspects of this nursery.


Both my children feel happy and loved coming here and that really helps when leaving them.


The staff have always been so supportive and personal with my kids

and my whole family. They really can not do enough for you. That's key workers, management and all reception staff. Thank you.

I love Kids Allowed. The staff are friendly, welcoming and always happy to help.


My little one always comes out with a smile on his face. Never a bad word to be said about children or staff. The unit is clean, safe and warm and all equipment is safe, new and top standard. Clean floors, reception

and hallways. Food is great, lots of different foods given so the children try things that home may not offer.


We are always kept up to date on upcoming events and courses offered to parents. We love it here. Amazing. Well done everyone.

Amazing childcare. My daughter settled really well and enjoys nursery. I love the outdoor space and she's always busy engrossed in an activity when I pick her up.

We have been part of the Kids Allowed family for the last five years. I am so thankful that I have the opportunity to send my children to a nursery that exceeds all my expectations, is forward thinking, always open to new ideas and at the forefront of exploring new and exciting ways of aiding children's
development. I kept my daughter at the pre-school at Kids Allowed and she was more than ready for school once she started.

Reply from Leann Jackson, Centre manager at Kids Planet Knutsford

I have been using Kids Allowed for the last 6 years for both of my children. I don't worry about my children when they are in their care. They take the time to get to know my children and are aware of how to stop tears at drop off. The leadership is outstanding and they listen to parents.

My children have been coming to Kids Allowed since 2011 with one child now in prep school and another in "Dave's Room" before and after school and in the holidays.


Kids Allowed is a brilliant, stimulating and caring place and I have always been extremely happy with every element, including all the

staff. Kids Allowed enables me to work knowing my kids are happy, stimulated and cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.600)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.600) out of 10 for Kids Planet Knutsford 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 17 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 4.892 for Kids Planet Knutsford is calculated as follows: ( (184 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.892

  • 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 4.708 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Knutsford is based on 17 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 120 number of registered child places is 24. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.708

  • 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.
