Our daughter joined Kids Allowed when she was seven months old, she's now two and we couldn't be happier with everyone at the nursery. Going back to work is hard enough but knowing she's in good hands and enjoys every moment whilst she is there makes it a little easier. Throughout the three rooms she's
been in so far as she's progressed into the toddler room, her key workers have been exceptional. There are days when her key worker hasn't been around but what's reassuring is that all the other staff know our little girl and make her feel comfortable at drop off time. Every day she's coming home excited to tell us about her day, what's she's eaten and who she's played with. The development we have seen has been fantastic and we couldn't recommend the nursery any more than we already do! In fact, since we have been there two of our close family/friends have joined! They are flexible with swap days and extra sessions too which as a busy family is really helpful! Keep up the excellent work!

First of all, may I thank you for the amazing feedback. It is lovely to read how we have played a positive part in your family's life. Your daughter has been a delight to care for. It is lovely to see her develop new skills each day, especially in the creative area where she enjoys to play. She is building beautiful friendships within her room and enjoys dressing the babies. I'm sure these friendships will continue through to her next room.
Thank you once again :)

A really professional, yet friendly nursery. There are lots of procedures in place to ensure that the children get what they need - both in safeguarding and learning, and this is done without taking away from the human side.
I'm regularly impressed with words and phrases that my son has learnt at
Kids Allowed.
The facilities are really good, and the daily reports on what the children have been doing are great. It's lovely to hear about their day, but handy to know what they've eaten and their "toilet business".
I was concerned about "leaving my baby with strangers", but he's always been well looked after, and the variety of learning, entertainment and food that he gets is far better than it could have been staying at home.
The wifi and coffee and tea for parents is a nice touch, as is the fruit on the way out.

Reply from Kirsty Bentham at Kids Planet Cheadle Royal

Thank you for the great feedback. It is lovely to hear your little one is learning and enjoying themselves at the same time. Especially when wearing a bowlers hat and playing with the trains.
I am pleased to read you find the reports useful. This was the aim behind them.
I will pass on your kind words to the team and of course our chef.

My child has just left Kids Allowed Cheadle Royal after 3.5 years. His experience has been excellent and, as parents, ours has too.
I cannot fault the service they deliver whatsoever. All staff members are friendly and caring.
Leaving your precious child in the care of others is one of the most difficult
things to do but knowing you are leaving them in a happy environment makes it less traumatic.
It’s a very organised place, with lots of in-house events and activities balanced with exciting trips out.
My child has learnt so much whilst there and has thoroughly enjoyed himself in every way.
I would highly recommend to anyone.

Reply from Kirsty Bentham at Kids Planet Cheadle Royal

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. It's great to hear that not only the children are happy and enjoying their time at Kids Allowed but you as a parent are too. The preschool team will miss your son and believe he will do really well at big school. Who knows, he may be the train conductor he inspires to be or an artist with his fantastic drawing of trains. Good luck in the future and please pop in and see us soon. :)

Kids Allowed provided a safe, nurturing and fun environment for my daughter. I was never concerned when dropping her off as I knew she would be safe well cared for and have fun. All the staff are well trained and engaged in their work, they care about the children and are extremely professional. This
is a place where the children truly seem to thrive. One thing I found impressive was the consistency of the staff which I believe is very important to children at this age. The trips that the children are taken on are also a lovely addition.

Reply from Kirsty Bentham at Kids Planet Cheadle Royal

Thank you so much for your feedback. We really do value your kind words. Our preschool teacher said she will miss your daughter in her teaching time and watching how confident she is with counting. We wish you the best of luck in the future and at big school. Please pop in to see us.

I cannot rate Kids Allowed highly enough. Two of my children have attended and I will be sending my third when they’re older. The care and support given by the staff has ensured that my children were ready and excited to start primary school and helped to develop their confidence. Lovely, friendly staff.

Reply from Kirsty Bentham at Kids Planet Cheadle Royal

Thank you for your kind words. We have loved watching your family grow and can't wait for your third to join us at Kids Allowed.

All staff at Cheadle are phenomenal. The manager always makes the effort to talk to my son and ask about his day. The room leader cannot do enough for my son's well-being and development and I cannot express our gratitude. The toddler room apprentice has built such an outstanding relationship as well
and my son loves them at the nursery in general.

Reply from Kirsty Bentham at Kids Planet Cheadle Royal

Thank you so much for the amazing feedback. How lovely to read that your son's well-being and development is being supported by the team. We are very passionate about the children within our care and take pride in the relationships we build with them as individuals. I will pass on your lovely feedback to the team.

I wanted to put down in writing how great Kids Allowed was for my child. My son was one of the first children to start at Kids Allowed and we were shown around Cheadle Royal when it was a building site. The manager's passion for her nursery shone through from the start and we were never let down. The
staff that looked after my son were amazing and some 6 years after he has left are still friends to this day. My son has gone on to be a great pupil at school and is always praised for his behaviour amongst his friends and his ability to achieve great results in class. This is far from how I was at school and my wife and I put this down to the grounding he got from Kids Allowed in his first 4 years. When he started primary school he came from full time at Kids Allowed and was more than prepared to start learning following the excellent support from the staff at Kids Allowed.
I cannot recommend Kids Allowed enough, it is wonderful.

Reply from Jennie johnson, CEO at Kids Planet Cheadle Royal

Wow, that is amazing feedback thank you. We can't believe how grown up the original children that joined at the very beginning are. We love to hear about our alumni and are pleased to hear the impact his early years' experience has had as a great foundation for school and beyond xxx

My 20-month-old loves this nursery. The staff are lovely and have a genuine interest in her. The activities are fantastic and the variety of food is great. They do courses eg paediatric 1st aid which is great. Love the fact that they have a woddlers some nurseries just have baby's and toddlers. Only
negative it is a bit pricey.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My only disappointment with this nursery is their 'staff to child' ratios for excursions.
They have 2 members of staff accompany 11 children on coach trips to local cities and attractions.


For me this ratio is fundamentally dangerous.


It only takes one missing child, or one of the two staff to

have to deal with a major incident or fall ill whilst in Liverpool, and they could have a disaster on their hands.


I challenge anyone to find a nursery with a lower ratio.


What I do know is that as soon as our kids go to primary school they will insist on a 4 to 12 ratio.


That's twice as many adults. And these kids are older!
We've raised it with management but it has fallen on deaf ears.


The saddest part? My son said to me recently 'I don't go on day trips do I daddy' and it broke my heart.


So I'm left in an impossible position.
Do I let him go on the coach and hope for the best, or deny him that pleasure, keep him safe and hope he isn't affected in the long term because I denied him day-trips?


Reply from jennie johnson, ceo at Kids Planet Cheadle Royal

Hi, as you know when we discussed your concerns together, we risk assess each trip we do individually. Some trips are on a 1:2 ratio, 1:3, others on a 1:5 etc, some are risk assessed and we assess them as unsafe for children of this age and we do not do them at all. Staff can only lead a trip if they have received extra training and this is refreshed often. We also provide "walkadile" harnesses where the risk assessment feels it is needed and finally we also know for each location we go to, what support we would get from the location (if any) in the event of an emergency. We do take child safety very seriously and we have reviewed our policy on the basis of your feedback but felt confident we have considered this appropriately, especially as each trip is assessed uniquely. All team are also first aid trained, carry essentials in a "trip bag", have a mobile phone to call for support etc. We will keep the policy under review and are never complacent about safety.

After moving my daughter from a smaller nursery setting we've found she's come on leaps and bounds in the Cheadle pre-school. She's becoming much more confident and is taking more of an interest in phonics and numbers etc. It seems as though most days there is an element of learning incorporated to
playtime. She's also been lucky enough to go on some outings which she has been very excited about!

The boys have always been happy to go to nursery and have always done several different activities each day. The
staff are fabulous and really get to know your child. I would definitely recommend Kids Allowed to any parent.

I have had two children go through Kids Allowed Cheadle from 6 and 9 months respectively to school age on a 5 days a week basis. Kids Allowed provide a fantastic fun filled learning environment with excellent staff and superb purpose built facilities. Both of my girls thoroughly enjoyed their experience
and were always eager to attend nursery and (now for one holiday club), day after day. It may not be the cheapest but I believe it is unquestionably the best!

My sons been going to Kids Allowed in Cheadle for just over a year, he started off in woddlers and has moved to toddlers. The staff are lovely, always have been. I have never had any issues with them, very easygoing and polite. The carers are lovely, very considerate and if I've ever had any special
requests, there has been no issue what so ever.
I am very happy with the nursery and the staff, I feel that my child is safe and looked after when I leave him.
I have recommended this nursery to lots of people.
The only minor comment is that I feel that kids allowed is slightly expensive and overpriced and that the rules about swapping days is overpriced too. A part from that its defo a great nursery!

Fantastic nursery where my daughter has made great friends (staff and other children). She has come out of her shell so much and they have really prepared her in every way for school.
Love that they get out and about on trips - lots of fun and many learning opportunities. She's been to parks, museums,
safari park, on a ferry etc!
The staff are all friendly and lovely and she adores them all.

My daughter is just over 2 and has been attending KA since she was 10 months.
We all love it, my daughter is very happy there, the staff genuinely care and they have varied activities.
I was sold on the fact that they take them out on trips which I think is important to give them variety in their
day, and the garden space is very good anyway.
What is also great for me is how flexible they are if I want to swap days etc- I understand from friends that this is not the case at all nurseries.
I can't believe how much she learns there already at only 2!
Overall we are very happy with the care, the activities, the genuine warmth of the staff and the flexibility. Would definitely recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.249)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.249) out of 10 for Kids Planet Cheadle Royal 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 21 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 4.829 for Kids Planet Cheadle Royal is calculated as follows: ( (214 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.829

  • 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 4.42 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Cheadle Royal is based on 21 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 250 number of registered child places is 50. 21 Positive Reviews ÷ 50 = 0.42

  • 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.
