My little girl has been at this nursery since she was 8 months old. She is now turning 4 years old in July and starting school in September and I cannot thank Kids Planet Macclesfield enough for the early years start she has had from a young age. The most excellent nursery, with the most devoted staff
who all say good morning with a smile on their face. She is now in preschool/prep school and absolutely adores her key worker. As an ex-childcarer myself I have never met another childcarer in my life that goes so above & beyond for all the children. She is such a devoted and caring practitioner; enthusiastic, and all round hilarious. Even I enjoy having a little laugh with her at drop off and pick up. She's empathetic and so attentive to the little things; and has built such an amazing rapport and bond with my little one (and me too!)
The nursery truly is one of a kind, whether it's the attention to detail they put into activities or planning an adventurous day trip out! It's phenomenal!

Our daughter started in the baby room in February, we have had a really lovely experience right from the start.


The staff have been really welcoming, reassuring and understanding, our daughter was breastfed and had never really been left with anyone other than myself and Mum up until that point.


Our daughter settled really quickly thanks to the love and care shown from all the staff within the baby room, and they gave us regular updates throughout the time she was settling to really put our minds at ease during the day.


We get a photo update through the day, showing us how happy and thriving she is, along with milk, nappy and meal time updates:


We can really tell she loves all the girls who look after her, and we love that everyone we bump into throughout the nursery are chatty and warm, taking the time to say hello to our daughter as we pass.


She has been taken on trips to the park and fire station, and spends time in the rooms own garden space.
100% recommend!

Both ourselves and our son found the transition tricky from babies to woddlers however the last few weeks have really made us feel great.


The positive environment you create, the nurturing staff especially three staff members in particular, the engaging activities have made such a difference in his

happiness.


I can see how much he enjoys his time at the nursery, after a wobbly start in the room change which I know is normal I am so grateful for the patience, kindness, and dedication you show each day. It's clear to me that the team goes above and beyond to foster a warm, supportive, and educational atmosphere for the children.


Thank you for everything you do. It truly means a lot to us!


I'd also like to add what a lovely time we had at the Mother's Day stay and play.

We had a great experience with Kids Planet Macclesfield so far. Our son has been attending the Baby Room full time for around 4 months and has recently moved to the Woddlers Room.


All the staff are very knowledgeable, supportive, kind and we feel that they really love the kids. Our son seems to

very much enjoy it. There are always doing fun activities and we are feeling that he is developing very good.


We are very happy with the nursery and we would definitely recommend it.

Fantastic nursery and second family to my children. They have been going to Kids Planet Macclesfield since they were babies and all key workers have been wonderful, very nurturing and supportive. Special mention to the staff at the afterschool club for always going above and beyond what is expected
of them. My kids look forward to their afterschool club thanks to them.

I have only great things to say about Kids Allowed Macclesfield. After viewing several nurseries in the area and personally having very high standards. Kids Allowed stood out as the leader, and I was not wrong.
Always a friendly welcome from the reception team or staff you may bump into along the
way.
Huge praise for my son’s key workers, who equally adore him in return.
The staff are nurturing and supportive and provide him with care, attention and positivity. We have seen a huge improvement in our child’s development since his attendance.
In comparison to our friend’s children’s nurseries, the food at Kids Allowed is also far more nutritious and varied following dietary requirements with care.
A very happy environment for any child with exemplary facilities and communication with parents.

Kids Allowed Macclesfield is a great nursery, and my daughter absolutely loves it and is always happy when she goes. The staff are great and make you feel very welcome, and as a mother, you feel that your child is definitely in safe hands. The meals they serve are amazing, and they focus on a lot of
outdoor play and activities, which is brilliant as my daughter loves playing outside. Her speech and confidence have come on so much since starting this nursery a year ago, and we couldn’t be more happy!

My son is currently in the pre-school room upstairs.
The staff in the room are excellent and they go above and beyond to make his experience the best it can be! They are always friendly and welcoming every morning.
There are lots of fun activities that are creative and stimulating. He has come on
leaps and bounds with is language, writing and numbers in a very short time.
The communication at handovers is great, we know exactly what he has been up to that day. They are ready and responsive to any questions and we feel fully involved in my boy's learning experience.
The staff really know my boy and know how to manage any situation as I would. It is very reassuring that I know he is in the best hands!

My son has been attending Kids Allowed for some time now and since he started attending his development has come on massively. He is happy and learning every single day. He has moved rooms twice now and each time has transitioned so well and loved his key workers. He is always doing activities which
I am updated about through the app regularly. I couldn’t imagine him going to any other nursery.

My son was born in the first lockdown, sending him to nursery was a big thing for our family, from his very first settle our worries were eased, we were all welcomed as family by the team and managers. Team show genuine care, love and interest in our son. He has thrived since joining, although he has
some speech delays, he is so comfortable and happy. The scenco has been outstanding in supporting us and helping with his targets. Every key person he's had has always been wonderful and caring. I can't recommend this nursery enough. He eats freshly cooked food, everything is included as well as the cute bag you're given. Excellent nursery!

After having my little boy, I was so worried to leave him at nursery. I chose Kids Allowed and that was the best decision I could have made for my baby! The pure love and care he has received in the baby room has not only made me feel at ease to leave him, it has allowed him to feel happy and safe making
him thrive and come home showing me new things every week! We can’t believe how much he has progressed and taken to nursery life and we can not thank the baby room enough for everything they do!
Staff are always happy, present, and welcoming.
The room is always clean, tidy, and well set up with activities!
The communication from the staff to me as a parent regarding what he’s done that day, what they are working towards etc is very good and I absolutely love seeing what he’s been up to while I’m at work using their app.
I can not rate this nursery/the staff here enough and the security into the nursery is very good!

Thank you so so much for taking the time to leave us a review! Myself and the team are extremely grateful for your kind words. We are so glad that he is enjoying his nursery life with us and we cannot wait to see him grow and develop in each of the rooms he goes into!

My son has attended Kids Allowed 4 days a week since he was 6 months old, he is now 2. Can’t fault anything, the staff are incredible all super chatty and welcoming, always take time to talk to you about the day and what they have been doing. I have no doubt that the care and attention provided to
each child is excellent. My son is always learning/experiencing new things. The meals are varied and healthy. The updates on the app are really beneficial. I can’t wait to send my daughter later on in the year.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.395)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.395) out of 10 for Kids Planet Macclesfield is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 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 4.961 for Kids Planet Macclesfield is calculated as follows: ( (195 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.961

  • 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 4.434 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Macclesfield 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 196 number of registered child places is 39.2. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 39.2 = 0.434

  • 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.
