My son comes to Kids Allowed Knutsford and in a year, he has progressed in so many ways that he is now speaking after being unable to hear. He loves everyone that works with him, They are an amazing group of people, very friendly and kind.

Kids Allowed is an excellent nursery. My daughter was shy and sensitive when she joined and staff across the nursery have nurtured her and encouraged her confidence so she has developed into a much more confident individual. The staff in the rooms deserve particular credit as my daughter often talks
about how much she likes them and pretends to be them!


She enjoys the food too. The only slight drawback is if you can't attend you lose your money for days. Even if you cancel way in advance - however, I believe this may be the case at a majority of nurseries.


Reply from Leann Jackson, Centre Manager at Kids Planet Knutsford

Thank you for your great feedback. We appreciate all feedback we receive. It is lovely to read about how our team have made a positive impact on your daughter, it's been lovely to watch her change over the last few years.

My daughter started at Kids Allowed when she was 18 months old. I can honestly say that there has never been a day when she has not been anything other than 100% happy and full of excitement when I have picked her up. The staff are very welcoming and always ready with a big hug when she arrives in the
morning. She goes out on regular trips and has developed a good circle of friends and comes home full of stories and news.


I have felt totally included and supported throughout her journey at Kids Allowed, I particularly appreciate the morning tea that is available.


Reply from Leann Jackson, Centre Manager at Kids Planet Knutsford

Thank you Nicci for the lovely feedback. I'm so pleased to read that we are looking after you both at Kids Allowed. We are so lucky to have the transport to go on trips every day and i'm pleased that you love that about us too.

I have had a great experience for both my kids in Kids Allowed. The youngest has been in since the baby room and has grown into a confident, social little boy. My eldest came in at preschool and has loved all the activities and staff. She has had a few issues with leaving me in the morning in her transition
to prep school, but the staff have been great and taken their time to help her. Couldn't recommend Kids Allowed enough.

Kids Allowed has always provided us with constant reassurance that our children are happy, cared for and nurtured during their time at nursery. The nursery itself has such a high quality of provision; from the food, to the wonderful trips out they take. Both my children head in smiling and leave beaming
from a day of fun, education, and care.

My son started at Kids Allowed in 2013 when he was 14 months old. Since starting he has received nothing but care and love from everybody in the setting. Moving him to Kids Allowed was the best decision I have made. My son has come on leaps and bounds and that is down to the support he has been given
at Kids Allowed. He has now moved on to his next chapter at school.

Hi Marie. Thank you for taking the time to provide this lovely feedback. It has been amazing to see your son develop and grow over the last 3 years. We will miss seeing him everyday but it was lovely waving off the confident prep schooler he had become.

My child has been going to Kids Allowed for over a year and has progressed into three different rooms. In each room, the staff have always gone out of their way to help my child settle and made me feel comfortable leaving her. I wouldn't ever take her elsewhere.

The manageress and the team have been absolutely outstanding following a traumatic experience I suffered leaving me to raise my two children, one of 14 months old and the other 8 years old. Her kindness, understanding, support, and care towards myself and my children has been phenomenal. She and the
team have been exceptional in aiding my healing let alone facilitating maintaining routine and love for my 14-month-old who has been unaware of any changes to his life. I can not explain my gratitude towards the manageress and the Kids Allowed Knutsford team. They deserve all the recognition.

I am so glad that we have been able to support you all as a family. We pride ourselves on our family relationships and looking after your children is an absolute pleasure. Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experiences of what it is like to be part of the Kids Allowed family.

Kids Allowed is a very friendly, happy nursery. My baby has settled in very well and is obviously well cared for given the obvious affection she has for the staff there. She spends her days doing fun and entertaining activities and I love the fact they regularly go on trips out so they are not just
in the nursery all day. The nursery is very organised and professionally run and nothing is too much trouble, which is what busy working parents need.

Kids Allowed has been a wonderful nursery for my daughter. She has been there full time since she was nine months. The staff are fantastic and each room has provided her with the stretch, challenge and excitement I would hope for her. The facilities are high-quality, well thought and specific to each
age group - in particular the individual outdoor space was one of the reasons we chose the nursery. Every member of staff knows my daughter - by name - and clearly love to hear how she is getting on as she prepares to go to school. It has been the best start in life I could give her. She is moving to the Out of School Club shortly and this will enable her to keep in touch with her friends as they head off to other schools. I cannot thank the staff enough for all they have done.

Both my children have been at KA since they were 9 months old and started in babies and have been in all the rooms. Both children love going, have fun, get messy, eat all their food, go on trips and have made their own friends/relationships. They are both happy and its important when I leave them to
go to work to know they are happy, content and safe.


Whenever I have been concerned about anything all the staff are willing to help, reassure me and never make e feel like I am troubling them.


My daughter will leave KA in September to start school and she is ready and I know that her time at KA and the staff have played a huge part in helping her confidence and I'm confident the transition to school will be a smooth one.


KA works for us as a family and I think they do an amazing job, all the staff my children have had contact with have had a great relationship and helped them continue to thrive.

My daughter has been attending Kids Allowed in Knutsford since she was 12 months old. She is now at school and attends the Out of School Club. In the 4 years she has been attending, I have never had to question any of the fantastic care given. My daughter is young for her year group and was extremely
well prepared for school. She went on fabulous trips out and experienced a wide range of activities at KA. Now she is at OSC, she loves it and enjoys the interactions with the older kids. She also attends the Out of School club. Again, she loves it. I never have to worry about her when she is at KA. Very happy daughter equals very happy mum. KA apprenticeship scheme is also fantastic and means low turnover of high quality staff. The CEO is very approachable and runs sessions parents. Wouldn't go anywhere else! You get what you pay for with childcare.

I was looking for a nursery for my son and a friend suggested Kids Allowed. After having a look around at other nurseries, I decided to join Kids Allowed at a different location and then when we moved my son came to Knutsford KA.
I cannot rate it highly enough, the staff are very friendly and experienced
and they make you feel very safe leaving your child with them.From the early days he was very happy to spend his day there and he learnt to be very independent and confident. Over the last 3 years he has learnt so much that I could not possibly teach him at home. He has made huge progress in everything.


What I find really amazing is that at KA children get involved with so many activities (my son has even learnt how to ride a bike) but at the same time they are getting prepared for reception learning how to spell and count and having PE classes. I cannot recommend them highly enough,it will be difficult to say goodbye once my son goes to reception. My daughter has now joined the same nursery and she is following in the steps of her brother, becoming very independent and active! I could not have made a better choice for my children. A huge thank you to all at both centers for making my children so happy and for keeping them safe.

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.
