My daughter has recently started here and she has settled so well and so quickly. She is trying all new different foods there that she won't try at home. The updates that you get throughout the day on the app are great and very reassuring. All the ladies are great in the room all very friendly. My daughter
seems to have clicked with the room leader as she talks about her at home.

I've had 2 kids at KA - one started Jan 19 (6 months) the next Sept 18 (7 months), just the youngest left there now and he is in pre-school. It is a great nursery, unfortunately, they do seem to have an issue with staff turnover and keeping a manager in post - although they are still very professional
and my child runs in every day and doesn't want to leave at the end so they are doing something right. If we've ever had an issue, they address it quickly and take it seriously (not that there has been any big issues). The food is amazing - no sausage and chips here - food from all over the world. Focus on personal care and self-care.

We needed a nursery that could offer full-time placement with reliability, flexibility around pickup/drop-off times but also with a team that would care for our child with compassion and a desire to help nurture her interests. The service we've received has surpassed our expectations and we've been
delighted with the experience our child has received from the KA team. The children are taken on regular trips in the local area (e.g. to reading sessions at the library, to the shops, train station and park). They have daily activities in tuff trays designed to help the children achieve their Birth to 5 Matters and Framework Indicators. All of this info along with food, naps and nappy changes are updated in (practically) real-time on the app throughout the day. But, it's the key workers that really make this place so special. They go over and above to make our child and us as parents have the best experience and feel informed and connected at all times. Thank you KA!

My youngest grandson has just started at Kids Allowed following in the footsteps of his older brother. He is a 'clingy' child and cries when his mum drops him off, but the staff have encouraged him and looked after him every step of the way. He is now starting to look forward to going. The nursery
is vey well run and the security is impeccable. The meals they provide are fantastic and my grandson who loves his food really enjoys them. I can't fault the nursery.

My son has only just started last week and is having separation anxiety when I drop him off. The staff are brilliant at comforting him and trying to encourage him to get involved in activities. I get regular updates and photos on the app which reassures me. The staff also called me to let me know he
had settled which puts my mind at rest before going to work! They seem passionate about their jobs from what I've seen so far. Security is good as well. I'm sure he will get used to coming here and start looking forward to his nursery days! Would recommend.

Both of my children attend Kids Allowed in Stockport. My 3-year-old started in the baby room and is now in pre-school, and my 10-month-old has just started. I have been so impressed with the kindness and care given by all the staff to our children, and you can see how happy they are to go to nursery.
It’s
at a higher-end cost-wise, but we looked at other nurseries (during lockdown) in the area, and this one felt like the best fit for us. I would say if you are wondering if it’s worth it - then it is. Our parents have been in for grandparent visits in the room and have said how great they thought it was too.
I know that some nurseries never let parents back in after lockdown, but I have always enjoyed collecting my children and getting to know the staff and other children/parents too. You could pop in at any point and see how much fun they’re all having. That is the kind of transparency I want from the people caring for my babies!

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5

My child, who faces challenges with sensory processing, struggled during their stay. It was evident that the staff lacked the necessary understanding and resources to support children with sensory sensitivities adequately. The absence of specialized strategies or a sensory-friendly environment impacted
my child's well-being and hindered their engagement in nursery activities.
Communication breakdowns further exacerbated our experience. I consistently felt uninformed about my child's daily experiences and any challenges they may have faced. Attempts to discuss these concerns with the staff were met with defensiveness and a lack of empathy, hindering constructive collaboration.
For improvement, I recommend comprehensive training for staff on sensory issues, the creation of a sensory-friendly environment, clearer communication protocols, and empathy training. These steps can contribute to a more inclusive and supportive environment for all children.

My little boy started at Kids Allowed Stockport at the start of this year for three mornings a week. He was only five-and-a-half months and it’d be an understatement to say I was nervous about the transition for us both. We’ve been blown away by how well he has settled and the range of activities and
quality of care in the baby room. He’s very happy. The thing that stands out is every single member of the team really cares and their passion shines through.

I genuinely do not have any negative comments about this nursery, the nursery is absolutely fantastic. My son attended upto Preschool and my daughter is now in woddlers. She has such a beautiful bond with all the staff members she is with.. past and present! You can tell she really loves them and is
well looked after! The staff are fantastic. Everyone is always so kind, helpful and accommodating. We have loved our time at Kids Allowed Stockport. The girls take time to provide updates throughout the day and also give a thorough debrief at collection. Thank you so much. Keep up the good work x

We are very happy with the care provided to our daughter. She started nursery when she was 8 months old, initially part time and slowly built up to full time. She is doing amazing and thriving. She is 15 months now and at 7 am she is by the door with her jacket and her shoes to take her to nursery.
All the staff is brilliant and I can see she is very comfortable with them. They are very supportive and helped me with managing a few difficulties. I can see my daughter is happy to spend 10 hours per day there and still keep going back the next day or even at weekends. I can’t wish for more. Very happy mum here!

My son attended Kids Allowed Stockport from baby room to pre school before starting reception and my daughter is currently in woddlers. The care every single member of staff have given both children has been incredible. They are always involved in activities and they really try to cater to your child's
individual interests. It is so reassuring that you can see your child interacting with the staff and other children during drop off and pick ups as this isn't the case for some nurseries in the area - Kids Allowed clearly are rightfully really proud of the work their staff put in to make the children happy and cared for. The staff always have time for the parents and keep in contact regularly throughout the day. Particularly happy with a member of staff in woddler 3 who has built a close bond with my little girl and makes her so happy to go to nursery! Also, love the levels of security - door code plus biometric entry as well as staff that actually get to know all parents and carers! Would recommend to all!

My daughter has been at this nursery since 1 (is now 3 and a half). In each room we have felt she has been very well looked after, fed brilliant food and has had fun! We particularly liked the layout of the building, when she was a baby in particular and felt it was safer than in some smaller nurseries.
She made excellent progress and she has taken part in a wide range of activities including things like listening walks and meeting bugs that the bug lady brought in for them. They get them outside in the gardens as much as possible and keep them active. The phonics work she has done with the teacher in the class has inspired her and she thoroughly enjoys learning. When she has had any little bumps or they have been at all concerned about anything they have phoned straight away. She had strange rashes for a while and they kept an eye on them and took photos of them changing for me. The staff and manager are excellent, listen and act on concerns and ideas and are extremely open to discussion.

My daughter attended this nursery. She had difficulties going to nursery for 6 weeks but when they changed her room, she changed. She started to be happy to go to nursery and enjoy herself.
I appreciate four members of staff and especially one staff member in particular as she was the first person
in the nursery my daughter could trust, get love from and feel comfortable all day by spending time with her.
Thank you, everyone.

We love how engaged all of the staff are with our little boy. Everyone knows his name, greets him when he comes in and waves him goodbye when he leaves - and the energy they invest is genuine. From the day he started, he was made to feel welcome and loved. The team worked hard to settle him in, and
now he is thriving. Nothing has ever been too much trouble here - accommodating dietary requirements, sleep patterns, start times etc. We have always felt they had his best interests at heart.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.496)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.496) out of 10 for Kids Planet Stockport is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 30 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 4.735 for Kids Planet Stockport is calculated as follows: ( (312 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 366 Ratings = 4.735

  • 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 4.761 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Stockport is based on 30 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 197 number of registered child places is 39.4. 30 Positive Reviews ÷ 39.4 = 0.761

  • 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.
