Review from A B (Mother of Child) published on 19 September 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The manageress and the team have been absolutely outstanding following a traumatic experience I suffered leaving me to raise my two children, one of 14 months old and the other 8 years old. Her kindness, understanding, support, and care towards myself and my children has been phenomenal. She and the
team have been exceptional in aiding my healing let alone facilitating maintaining routine and love for my 14-month-old who has been unaware of any changes to his life. I can not explain my gratitude towards the manageress and the Kids Allowed Knutsford team. They deserve all the recognition.

I can't recommend Kids Allowed enough. My daughter loves going there and has been at the centre from 10 months old. It is fun, safe and the staff are brilliant. She is coming on in leaps and bounds. Every night she comes home really tired after a fun packed day!

Very satisfied with this nursery. Food offering adequate, but not thrilling. Staff friendly and engage well. Learning activities very good. Strong emphasis on out doors and trips out. Wide range of equipment and things to do.

Kids Allowed is a very friendly, happy nursery. My baby has settled in very well and is obviously well cared for given the obvious affection she has for the staff there. She spends her days doing fun and entertaining activities and I love the fact they regularly go on trips out so they are not just
in the nursery all day. The nursery is very organised and professionally run and nothing is too much trouble, which is what busy working parents need.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kids Allowed has been a wonderful nursery for my daughter. She has been there full time since she was nine months. The staff are fantastic and each room has provided her with the stretch, challenge and excitement I would hope for her. The facilities are high-quality, well thought and specific to each
age group - in particular the individual outdoor space was one of the reasons we chose the nursery. Every member of staff knows my daughter - by name - and clearly love to hear how she is getting on as she prepares to go to school. It has been the best start in life I could give her. She is moving to the Out of School Club shortly and this will enable her to keep in touch with her friends as they head off to other schools. I cannot thank the staff enough for all they have done.

Review from Jemma b (Mother of Child) published on 30 June 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children have been at KA since they were 9 months old and started in babies and have been in all the rooms. Both children love going, have fun, get messy, eat all their food, go on trips and have made their own friends/relationships. They are both happy and its important when I leave them to
go to work to know they are happy, content and safe.


Whenever I have been concerned about anything all the staff are willing to help, reassure me and never make e feel like I am troubling them.


My daughter will leave KA in September to start school and she is ready and I know that her time at KA and the staff have played a huge part in helping her confidence and I'm confident the transition to school will be a smooth one.


KA works for us as a family and I think they do an amazing job, all the staff my children have had contact with have had a great relationship and helped them continue to thrive.

My daughter has been attending Kids Allowed in Knutsford since she was 12 months old. She is now at school and attends the Out of School Club. In the 4 years she has been attending, I have never had to question any of the fantastic care given. My daughter is young for her year group and was extremely
well prepared for school. She went on fabulous trips out and experienced a wide range of activities at KA. Now she is at OSC, she loves it and enjoys the interactions with the older kids. She also attends the Out of School club. Again, she loves it. I never have to worry about her when she is at KA. Very happy daughter equals very happy mum. KA apprenticeship scheme is also fantastic and means low turnover of high quality staff. The CEO is very approachable and runs sessions parents. Wouldn't go anywhere else! You get what you pay for with childcare.

My daughter goes to Kids Allowed Knutsford and I couldn't recommend it more highly. My daughter comes home full of stories and new skills every day. We love the focus on playing outside and the nurseries real attention to the individual needs and personalities of the children.

Review from Eirini G (Mother of Child) published on 31 July 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was looking for a nursery for my son and a friend suggested Kids Allowed. After having a look around at other nurseries, I decided to join Kids Allowed at a different location and then when we moved my son came to Knutsford KA.
I cannot rate it highly enough, the staff are very friendly and experienced
and they make you feel very safe leaving your child with them.From the early days he was very happy to spend his day there and he learnt to be very independent and confident. Over the last 3 years he has learnt so much that I could not possibly teach him at home. He has made huge progress in everything.


What I find really amazing is that at KA children get involved with so many activities (my son has even learnt how to ride a bike) but at the same time they are getting prepared for reception learning how to spell and count and having PE classes. I cannot recommend them highly enough,it will be difficult to say goodbye once my son goes to reception. My daughter has now joined the same nursery and she is following in the steps of her brother, becoming very independent and active! I could not have made a better choice for my children. A huge thank you to all at both centers for making my children so happy and for keeping them safe.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.917)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.917) out of 10 for Kids Planet Knutsford is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.917 for Kids Planet Knutsford is calculated as follows: ( (290 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 312 Ratings = 4.917
  2. 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Knutsford is based on 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 120 number of registered child places is 24, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
