Kids Allowed are a fantastic nursery. They offer a daring, nurturing environment that instantly puts your mind at ease. The children get to go on trips, play outside and have lots of fun activities to keep them stimulated during the day. My daughter loves it here!

From Day 1 in nursery, I have found Kids Allowed nursery to be amazing - from the initial settling in, through to Toddler 1. My child loves the staff, the activities, food looks amazing. All staff are friendly and took a genuine interest in my child as an individual and some amazing days out, especially
to see the horses at the horse centre.

My son has been coming here for almost two years and has been through both the baby room and toddlers.
I am always impressed in the way everybody takes time to get to know him and his individual needs and quirks. The support my son has had over the time he has been here had been excellent and has helped
him learn and grow and always at his own pace.
It's just the security a parent needs when handing his child over 5 days a week.

I enrolled my son into Kids Allowed Macclesfield in June 2018 when my childminder closed her business. I was hesitant to have him go to a large nursery as I felt he wouldn’t get the 1-1 attention I wanted for him and feared he would just be another child in a huge class. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
The team at Kids Allowed Macclesfield are the most welcoming, warm and loving people. My son absolutely loves it there. Since he started, his speech, vocabulary, confidence and independence has come on unbelievably. The activities and trips they plan on a weekly basis keep my son entertained and engaged. I couldn’t be more thrilled to have found somewhere so nurturing for my little one. Thank you so much to the team for everything you continue to do.

This was so wonderful to read, thanks Amy! I remember doing your show round and I am so glad you're happy with your decision, we absolutely love looking after him. Thanks again for such lovely words, we really appreciate it.

My child came here after almost two years from a different nursery and it was a total game changer. Happy staff, happy children. I had him in the same time as my nine-month-old in the baby room so have experience of the whole baby to leaving experience. I loved the way the staff reacted to the needs
of the children on a daily basis - my son needed settling in, had a hat obsession and the trip the following week was to a hat museum - the personal touches are just what you need to feel your child is cared for and listened to. So much love for this place - slightly more expensive than some alternatives but well worth every penny. I couldn’t be happier with it for my kids.

I would highly recommend Kids Allowed Macclesfield. The staff are fantastic - friendly, caring, well trained and hard working. The facilities are excellent and the meals which are prepared for the children are first class. My daughter has attended the holiday club for the last four years and my son
who started in the baby room is now in toddlers. Both love it at K A. It puts my mind at ease knowing that my precious little ones are being well looked after and that they enjoy their time there.

I can never thank Kids Allowed Macclesfield or the staff enough for how they have looked after my little girl and me. My little girl started whilst I was in the height of post-natal anxiety. I was always honest with the staff about how hard I found even the idea of leaving her and hadn’t even left her
with family yet. From her settles everyone went above and beyond. But for me it was the little things. A reassuring phone call to say she was ok. Pictures being sent home so I could see she had had a good day. Even the team at reception would always be there with a tissue when needed. Nothing is too much bother. I can honestly say without the staff at Kids Allowed I wouldn’t have been able to return to work. Knowing my daughter is so well cared for, loved and genuinely seen as her own person, not another number. Thank you Kids Allowed Macclesfield.

I love Kids Allowed. My daughter started in the Toddler Room and now attends the after school club and holiday club. The team go above and beyond to ensure every child has the best time and the team really get to know every child individually.
The menu is fabulous, home cooked and healthy and the trips
the children go on are another reason why Kids Allowed is the only place I'd send my child.
They also now do flexible hours so it's not just the standard 8-6. Top marks Kids Allowed.

I can't rate Kids Allowed highly enough. Our son has been in every room from Babies all the way through to where he is now Prep School. His Kids Allowed journey has been incredible and we couldn't be happier. The facilities are fabulous, so much space, both inside and out for the children to play.
The trips that he has been on over the years have been fantastic, museums, parks, the airport, sealife centre etc.
The activities are always so well planned & structured. I believe that Kids Allowed (particularly Pre and prep school) provides the most amazing environment and activities to prepare the children for School.
The staff are just amazing. From, Babies, Woddlers, Toddlers, Pre/Prep school I have never had one cause for concern. I know that I leave my son in the best hands at Kids Allowed. They truly care. Every child is important and special. My son has had amazing relationships with all of his key workers and lots of other staff. Not forgetting the reception / admin staff. Again, just brilliant and always there to help out

I moved my Daughter from another nursery to Kids Allowed Macclesfield just as she turned 2 and I can honestly say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. The facilities are amazing as is the flexibility (swap day service) but it’s the Staff that make it the best. They create such a welcoming, loving
and friendly atmosphere.
I drop my daughter off in the early drop room and although there tends to be different staff each week, they are all so good with her. Always happy with open arms and what amazes me is, they always know the names of the children.
There is so much to do and I know my daughter never gets bored, the activities are planned with much consideration. No matter how busy they are when I go to pick her up they always ensure I am told about her day. My daughter is thriving and a lot of that is down to the staff at KA. I trust the whole team and know that my daughter is safe and well looked after. I would definitely recommend Kids Allowed Macclesfield.

Both of my children attend Kids Allowed Macclesfield (one from Preschool to Holiday Club and the other from Baby Room to Preschool) and I am so thankful for all the care, attention and fun that Kids Allowed provide. The staff look after my children so well whilst nurturing their individual needs and
personalities in a safe and loving environment. The staff not only care for the children but for the whole family from the friendly daily greetings for us all, to the comprehensive handovers and beautiful creations my kids bring home to share with us. Our family has had a tricky personal journey, but the staff are there every step of the way to support and help us in any way they can which is so reassuring. The bonds my children and the staff have are so special and it is lovely to hear and see all the amazing activities they have done together. I am so grateful to that Kids Allowed has the same philosophy of care and nurture that I would wish for in a nursery - my children are so happy, confident and look forward to each day at Kids Allowed.

My son is currently at this fantastic nursery. In the year that he has been attending Kids Allowed he has absolutely thrived, he loves going in every day and the staff are all so friendly and welcoming.
They take the time to get to know him and are aware of his likes and dislikes.
He loves the little
trips that they go on and the variation of activities that they provide each time he attends is brilliant.
It makes going to work that little bit easier knowing my little boy is happy, safe and enjoying a fun packed day.

My son has been attending Kids Allowed since he was 8 months old and I honestly cannot speak highly enough of everything about this nursery. The staff go above and beyond and not just the staff in their rooms either - they all make such an effort to know all the children which creates such a lovely,
friendly atmosphere. The activities for the children are planned with much consideration and my son is absolutely thriving. The girls are a huge part of my son's life and it means so much that they genuinely love taking the time to get to know him through and through. I trust them implicitly. As a parent, I would highly recommend Kids Allowed.

I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a childcare provider who really goes the extra mile. Every day I leave my son knowing he’s in amazing hands of people who genuinely care about him. They take the time to get to know him as an individual and his likes and dislikes which is why he loves
it so much and will often refer to his carers by name when he’s at home! My son is now 2.5 and started at this nursery when he was 7 months and in the time there he’s developed into a confident, bright and kind little boy and I know nursery has really contributed to this. Both myself and my husband work full time and we can only do this knowing our son is in a safe, encouraging and happy environment such as this.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.309)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.309) 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 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 4.952 for Kids Planet Macclesfield is calculated as follows: ( (159 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.952

  • 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 4.357 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Macclesfield 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 196 number of registered child places is 39.2. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 39.2 = 0.357

  • 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.
