Stockport Kids Allowed is a fantastic nursery. Our son has been going since he was 4 months old and the level of care and quality of staff has always been excellent.
As well as being friendly and approachable the staff are fantastic with all of the children. There is a genuine feel of an extended
family as soon as you enter then building.
There is a clear effort to encourage development and this is communicated efficiently to us as parents.

My daughter has been attending Kids Allowed for a few years now, I cannot recommend them enough. Every room she has moved up through has just got better and better along with her key workers. She loves going and doesn't stop talking about everyone there. The care and attention they pay to them is fab
and it shows in how she communicates with people and how advanced she is.

My little boy is so happy at Kids Allowed Stockport, he never wants to come home when I pick him up. He has formed lovely friendships and has a great bond with his key worker. The staff are always so pleasant and welcoming. It's the little things that make a difference for example the staff always say
good morning when you walk in the building and they all know my little boy's name.

My son has been going to kids allowed since he was 7 months when it first opened. He is now nearly 3 years and I couldn't be happier with the care they have shown us as a family. He is very confident and happy. The variety of activities, fantastic menu, wonderful nursery nurses and trips out enable
me to go to work confident that my son is well cared for and given a variety of stimulating, messy fun activities to fill his day. Highly recommended.

Kids Allowed is an excellent nursery my son looks forward to his time there. The staff are well trained. A major plus point is the extra curriculum activities regular trips to the parks, museums, train stations, watching aeroplanes have been very exciting for my son. Also educational nature and town
walks help in his development. Academic teaching i.e alphabet, numbers can be improved upon, though I accept it's not school. Overall, my son has flourished at this nursery.

Excellent nursery, facilities are great. Staff attentive, well trained. Excellent policies re swaps and early drop offs.


Only criticism is staff tend to move/swap rooms a lot, this is possibly due to it being a fairly new nursery and staff moved to the centre when it was being set up and now it

is more established moving back to previous roles.

Reply from Jennie, CEO at Kids Planet Stockport

Thanks for your lovely feedback. And yes, we have opened up new rooms as the new centre has grown and colleagues have split off into them. Remarkably we had 0% team turnover in the first 12 months which is amazing. (but quite a few team members as we grow) As you say the team are great and really make the experience for the children.

Excellent nursery with excellent staff. Everyone has been so lovely and helpful, putting my first and only child into nursery was a very anxious time for me - but within her first few days all of my anxieties were rested. Staff are always smiling, friendly and happy to help, even staff from other rooms
make the effort to learn all of the childrens names. When I picked him up it was clear he was having a wonderful time. I'd just like to thank all the staff at Stockport KA.

My son attended KA from June 14 -Sept 15. Everyone from receptionist to nursery nurses took the time to ensure I felt at ease, they all made my boys experience an educational and enjoyable one.


I also used the holiday club which was worth every penny.


I have 3 boys and have used many nurseries

KA Stockport is most definitely the best.

I have been so happy with Kids Allowed. I have constantly felt my children are striving in a safe, fun, stimulating, progressive and learning environment. Fantastic staff and centre!! As my boys are graduating soon I would like to give special recognition to all the prep school staff for meeting needs
of my boys throughout the two years. The reception staff are fantastic - always so helpful and friendly. Thanks to you all.

My daughter adores going to Nursery everyday. The team are fantastic. The interaction with the children is fabulous, the different trips they take the children on are brilliant and there is also the opportunities like tennis & ski school. The progress my daughter has made in the nearly two years she
has been here is brilliant. I highly recommend this Nursery to everybody.

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.
