I have two children at Kids Allowed. One in preschool, who has progressed throughout the nursery, and another in babies, who started approx 1 month ago. Both children love nursery and have both developed significantly. The staff there go above and beyond to create relationships with both children and
couldn't ask for better people to be around my children.

Overall what an amazing nursery. Our little girl loves coming to nursery and loves being socialable saying "hiya" to all the staff and children in her presence. She has shown lots of happiness and developing more and more each day. The care and learning experiences she receives whilst in their care
are brilliant. If you want a nursery with fantastic caring, enthusiastic and supportive staff to help your child flourish and prepare them for life experience this is the place to be. We can't thank them enough for always being there for us too. Whether it's a check-in call or having a bad day and wanting some reassurance, they are happy to listen. I'm glad I've chosen here. With being a previous deputy manager myself, I was quite particular in what I wanted for my little one but I definitely made the best choice.

I just want to say I'm really happy with this nursery. My two older children came hee and now my younger one comes to this nursery three days a week. She has come on so much with everything and they helped her so much with her walking and I can't thank them enough with that. She is in Woddlers at the
moment and loves the team and everyone, she is due to move up to Toddlers soon and I know she will be really happy and settle well in the room. The staff are always happy and smiling away and always happy to help and support.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5

Our child finished in August 2022.
Overall has been pretty awful to be honest.
Our son has special educational needs with diagnosed learning disabilities. The nursery are aware of, yet tried to treat him in the same way as other non-SEND kids in the room.
Our son has Autism and SPD and has been
mostly non-verbal until 3 years old.
He would often become overwhelmed and upset and highly sensitive to change/noises etc. Could lead to outbursts or being upset and causing toilet accidents. Nursey staff would often find it 'easier' to leave our son 'when he got like this' as it was 'challenging' - so 3-4 times a week would go to collect our child in soiled clothes sat alone in the corner of a room.
The nursery also were to receive inclusion funding to help him be 'included' and also are aware that an EHCP is in place but never did anything with either of those things. The setting has not had any benefit of a qualified teacher the whole time he was in Pre-school & no trips/excursions ever.

My son loves it here! The interaction the amazing staff have with the children is brilliant, keeping them entertained throughout the day with various activities right through to caring for their every need. Kids Allowed Stockport always keep you informed, even on the minor details which is great. They
are always on hand to help should you ever need them. A wonderful team and set up at Kids Allowed Stockport. A fantastic nursery with a great set up would highly recommend.

Both of my children have gone to Kids Allowed Stockport, everyone is friendly and so lovely. My littlest one has only just started and has settled in brilliantly. I was really nervous about sending him to nursery due to the pandemic, but all the team in the babies room have made such an effort and
he comes out with a huge smile. The team upload regular pictures throughout the day which is so nice to see. The food is great and the facilities are amazing for the little ones. I wouldn’t feel comfortable sending my little one anywhere else.

Thank you for your amazing feedback! I am so happy your children have enjoyed the Kids Allowed experience, even recently with your youngest one starting with us. The team in the baby room are amazingly professional and will support everyone as much as they possibly can. I am glad your youngest is well settled throughout the day, especially with the food!

I highly recommend this nursery. My daughters both started in toddlers and have both had the best time whilst there. I also recommended the nursery to a friend who's daughter started in babies and is now in woddlers.
The staff are so friendly and always approachable. If there's ever been anything
I've needed to query, the help and support has been there. It's super clean and the food is cooked from scratch each mealtime which always smells divine. I wish I could go to nursery.

Thank you for your amazing feedback! I am so happy that your daughters are well settled and loving Kids Allowed!

The meals children enjoy are delicious, I will make sure the kitchen team are aware of your great feedback.

I always knew I wanted to send my children to Kids Allowed and I’m so glad I did. My son loves it here! The interaction the amazing staff have with the children is brilliant, keeping them entertained throughout the day with various activities right through to caring for their every need.
The nursery
itself is fantastic with lots of space, different activities set up in the rooms and lots of outdoor space for the children to run around. I love the big windows and doors in each of the rooms to look through so I can see my son playing without him knowing I’m there.
Kids Allowed always keep you informed even on the minor details which is great. They are always on hand to help should you ever need them.
Fantastic nursery with a great set up, would highly recommend.

We currently have 2 daughters at Kids Allowed Stockport - our oldest has been there for nearly 2 years and youngest for 4 months. I can't praise the nursery and the team enough! Our girls have thrived since being at Kids Allowed and are doing really well. The recent addition of the app allows for real-time
updates on the girls including pictures which allows us to feel part of their day. The team at Stockport are great and always happy to help with any issues or enquiries. When comparing prices, Kids Allowed does come across as one of the most expensive however everything is included within that price and there are no hidden extras. There are also discounts available for certain days and siblings etc.

What lovely feedback! I am so happy to hear how well your children and have settled and have become part of the Kids Allowed family. The Parent Zone app is working really well and I am glad you are happy with this new feature being implemented. Thank you so much, kindest regards!

The staff at Kids Allowed are brilliant and I have felt at ease sending my daughter here. The team have adapted seamlessly to life with Covid-19 and I feel confident that my child is happy and safe. My only criticism would be one for the now Kids Planet management who are yet to implement some sort
of parental communication app. Having a till receipt in 2020 to tell you about your child's day when you are paying for a premium nursery is ridiculous. The only pictures you get are on Facebook (which again seems bizarre). Fortunately, the staff are fab and spend a lot of time talking you through your child's day on pick up, but I'm sure they would also appreciate being able to do more of this electronically to save time.

Wonderful team and set up at Kids Allowed Stockport. My son has been with them since 9 months old and is now heading for 3. Every room has been amazing, the team and environment included. The food is healthy and varied, the topics covered and engagement is exactly what we would hope. Water play on the
hot summer days and cosy crafts on the cold winter ones. The team are so personable and work hard to build relationships, even when we move up a room the previous room's staff wish him good morning with a smile and a wave. The little extras like hair cuts and photos all mean so much. I really cannot fault one single thing!

This is amazing feedback. Thank you so much for your kind words. I am glad your little one has been happy and settled since 9 months old.

Since my daughter started at Kids Allowed in the Baby Room I've always felt totally reassured that this is the right setting for her. We had a bad experience with another nursery before choosing here and we've never looked back. She is now in Toddlers (having transitioned twice now as she's moved between
rooms - each time without any problems at all) and she just loves it. The activities that they do each day are so valuable to their learning and I've watched her flourish. The team are fantastic, they listen and support your individual parenting needs and also feedback thoroughly each day. I can't rate them highly enough and have recommended multiple friends (who have also loved the setting).

My little boy first found it a struggle at the drop-off. Kids Allowed Stockport has gone over and above to make him settle, feel welcome and always comes out at the end of the day a very happy boy! With no settling in sessions, this has been a hard transition due to COVID restrictions, however, the
Kids Allowed team have been consistent, and very helpful to help him settle into his new room. Very pleased with the company!

This nursery is outstanding. The level of care that is input into each and every child is second to none. They provide excellent learning/play environments, top-class catering for all dietary requirements and have handled the current pandemic with everyone's safety at the front of their minds. I was
very apprehensive when the franchise was sold on, the communications from the franchise were quite poor and did not fill me with any confidence. However, this does not reflect on the management of the nursery whatsoever.

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.
