My daughter has been so so happy at this nursery. She settled in so well and has flourished since starting nursery.
All the staff are wonderful and go above and beyond for all the children who attend the nursery. They keep up to date with parents on the app as to what activities your child has done
throughout the day as well as documenting meals and toilet trips. My daughter has attended lots of fun trips with the nursery which she has thoroughly enjoyed.
She will be leaving at the end of this term and we will both miss all the staff at the nursery. They've made her experience of nursery a truly positive one. Thank you to all the staff at Kids Planet Altrincham. You're all fantastic!

Great nursery and would definitely recommend it to anyone. My toddler comes back home very excited after every day and chats about things and activities that were done during the day. She bonded quite fast with the staff who are amazing as well. The variety of meals is great as well and happy to say
that she eats it all every time. Very happy with this nursery.

The staff at Kids Planet have been very supportive with my children offering a safe and happy environment for them to develop and grow. Special thanks go to a particular lady in pre-school.
Toddler staff have been really supportive in helping my child settle in and you can notice the difference with
confidence and speech after only a few months. Thanks.

This nursery is by far the best in the area. My children love coming here, from the amazing staff, daily activities, and events they regularly put on.
The staff are so lovely and helpful and both my children have made an amazing bond with all the staff and management.
Not just from the children's
point of view but as a parent the staff have been so supportive for me too and always have time to chat and make sure we are all OK.
The food is always fresh and my kids enjoy it every day.
I would never send my children anywhere else after the experience I have had with Kids Planet Altrincham.

My son loves attending nursery, he has a good relationship with the staff and is happy and comfortable with them. The nursery serves a great collection of healthy food and snacks and the place is kept very clean.
Toys are a good variety and the outside areas are large and vast.

My child started with the nursery two months ago and just like every mother who frets and worries the first time you are separated from them I went through an awful wave of mum guilt. The nursery staff were so kind and considerate of this given they must go through it a lot. They have a wonderful chef
and my little boy loves the variety of healthy food and snacks provided in the day. He enjoys the daily activities and has bonded with the staff well. If you are looking for a nursery I'd highly recommend booking a show around at Kids Planet!

Kids Planet Altrincham have helped settle my little girl in amazingly considering she's never really been away from me or her nana she's so happy and content with all the girls and boys that work there, especially the toddlers and woddlers staff. I get continuous pictures and updates throughout the
day which help put my mind at ease, not to add the meals that she has 2x of most times!
Couldn't recommend them enough.

My son has been attending Kids Allowed Altrincham for the past 6 months and I can’t speak highly enough of the staff and the environment they create for all of the children there.
Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and even though leaving your child in someone else’s care can be tough, I trust them
completely with the safety and well-being of my son. He always comes home happy, well fed and it’s clear that there are lots of development activities as he has come on so well since joining.

My son has been attending since July 2023 and has already thrived so much and has picked up some new words. He did take some time to settle in, but the staff were so caring and attentive in helping him settle in, cuddling him and giving him lots of attention. I’m really happy with Kids Allowed, my son
enjoys being there and the staff are friendly, warm and really care about each child.

My son has been going to Kids Allowed Altrincham for 6 months now. I love every bit of it. Food is excellent, served fresh. They take all the care to help the kids cope and developed beautifully through engaging activities all day through. You can keep track of sleep, food and activities through their
app. Kids Allowed gave him the best start possible and am very assured that it is the best in the area. Carers are amazing and very patient, communicate to you clearly. There are a lot of things which I can go on, like facility to swap days, book extra sessions as per your circumstances and even have your little one's hair cut done when it's been a nightmare for you to get it sorted! I would definitely recommend Kids Allowed Altrincham any day! Glad I did the research and to have found this gem!

Our daughter started attending Kids Allowed Altrincham 3 weeks ago. The team were very welcoming from day 1 and offered settling sessions which helped us feel more comfortable with our baby being in strangers' hands for the first time in her life. The reception staff know her by her name and the carers
in her room are providing a loving environment in which children seem to be enjoying being in.
We like the fact we are kept updated throughout the day on the different actions around her care, whether it be playtime, meals, naps or changing info. The app makes it easier for us to know what she has been up to and eventually helps us understand why she may feel a certain way when back home.
Thank you for everything so far.

My daughter been attending Kids Allowed Altrincham Nursery for over a year now and she is so happy there, it feels like a second home to her. All of the staff are so nurturing and supportive and they provide her with so much care, attention and positivity. I have always found the key workers to be very
communicative and the admin team are so efficient.
I would highly recommend Kids Allowed Altrincham to anyone looking for a nursery in the area and I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful and happy environment for my daughter.

My son has been here since he was 12 months old and he loves it. The staff are very focused, motivated, kind and have always made a huge effort to treat my son as an individual. They know him so well and are always readily on hand for support or advice. The building has impressed me as it has clearly
been designed with children and their needs in mind. I like the security required to enter as I know my child is safe. The app is very good - it's great to be able to see what my child is up to during the day. I would very much recommend Kids Allowed in Altrincham.

Our child currently attends this nursery and has done for a number of years, and so did our elder child who is now in Year 2 at a local nearby primary school in Altrincham.
Kids Allowed, Altrincham are excellent in every way. Prior to our eldest starting at Kids Allowed, he attended a few other nurseries,
mainly due to us living in different parts of the UK. Kids Allowed Altrincham is by far the best nursery. They are head and shoulders above the rest, and that is taking nothing away from the other nurseries we experienced first-hand, who were all excellent too.
Our eldest left Kids Allowed Altrincham in 2020 to start school, but we are still continuing to find them excellent now with our 2nd child. He loves the place and so do we. The staff make Kids Allowed - all of them.

We are so happy at Kids Allowed. Our eldest started with them in babies and just graduated from prep this summer. She is a happy, well-rounded child, very sociable with a healthy appetite for learning (and chef's cooking!). She has made a confident start at school. Our youngest is just settling into
babies now. Pleased to see familiar faces in the room, who were fantastic with our eldest at the start. The care provision is outstanding with endless resources to help nurture children and support their development in the early years framework. The Kids Allowed set-up, makes life so easy for us as two full-time working parents; all-inclusive fees, flexible approach to day swapping and even ample parking. Kids Allowed have a reassuringly professional approach to childcare, with purpose-built facilities, excellent management and a strong focus on developing their staff, whilst at the same time the Altrincham centre feels like a second home, so welcoming and friendly are the staff, it feels like one big family.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.237)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.237) out of 10 for Kids Planet Altrincham is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 11 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 4.811 for Kids Planet Altrincham is calculated as follows: ( (112 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.811

  • 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 4.426 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Altrincham is based on 11 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 129 number of registered child places is 25.8. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 25.8 = 0.426

  • 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.
