Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child is very well treated and enjoys the nursery so much. They do lots of activities and the kids have lots of attention from the teachers and other personal.


We are also very grateful about the flexibility to change the days booked every week and the option to have extra early and extra late

if necessary. No other nursery does that in the area.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We love Kids Allowed. My little one went from crying at every morning at drop off, to crying every afternoon when we pick him up, in a couple of months.
Kids Allowed really takes care of us, both my little one and me! They really do make our life a little easier. The hair cut service, for example,
is really helpful.
I would like to think that my little one is developing faster since he's been in Kids Allowed. He is more independent at home, good with people (he didn't like other kids before), and like to eats various foods.
Everybody really makes us feel safe and well taken care of. They really paid extra attention to every child.
Very satisfied with Kids Allowed!

The team at KA are great, always helpful and approachable. Any problems are discussed and resolved quickly. The facilities are also excellent and the children move to new rooms with new environments and activities as they get older to keep them engaged.

Thanks, it is so important parents feel free to speak up with niggles and concerns so we can quickly address them - we of course, want to get things right first time but we are human. This is all part…read more

I am thoroughly pleased with the care and attention that is given to my son at Kids Allowed. He has blossomed since he started in August 2015. The staff are very friendly and have a passion for child development through high quality play opportunities. I go to work knowing that my son is in a happy,
caring environment where his needs will be seen to. Thank you!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't recommend Kids Allowed highly enough. Both of my daughters go to KA at Christie Fields, and they love it. The staff are excellent - very tuned into the needs of different children, and create specific activities based on what children are interested in. When I pick them up, my kids are normally
shattered and look like they've had a great day (covered in paint etc). There are lots of trips, and in pre-school the additional activities like forest school, ski school, and bike school are really welcome.
It's great for me to know that when I drop them off, they're going to have a brilliant day, and be really well looked after. I'm also really pleased to see their development in terms of confidence, language etc, which I know is in no small part due to what they do at Kids Allowed. I also really like the flexibility you get so that you can change days, book extra days if needed.
No downsides, just a brilliant nursery.

Review from Emma F (Mother of Child) published on 16 June 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended KA since he was 11 months, so for 12 months now. He has absolutely thrived since being there, he absolutely loves it!
I was nervous about starting back at work but his transition to starting at nursery was made so easy by the girls as KA, they helped him settle so well. From day
1 he's loved going and it's only getting better and better for him.
The food is fantastic, most days he eats better than I do! The activities they do are fab and the free access to the garden all day means he gets to enjoy the fresh air for a vast majority if the day- every day.
He's even been on trips to Knowsley safari park, bliss for a toddler!!
Best of all is the staff. The girls (and blokes) that work there are awesome, no other word for it.

My daughter has been at his nursery since 6 months of age. She has come on leaps and bounds since she started. Her key worker and all her team are incredible with her. I would highly recommend this nursery to anybody.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Excellent nursery with super care and attention for the children. They are very proactive with working parents to get the most out of the children. As a working mum I love the little extras like tea on the way out and dry cleaning drop off. The children are regularly going out even from being babies
to teach them about their surroundings. My boy used to only go one day a week and you could see the difference straight away. Cannot fault, excellent nursery.

My son has been attending KA since he was 12 months old, firstly at the another centre and then transferring to Christie Fields four months later (as this is closer to my workplace). I cannot be recommend the nursery enough, it has a fantastic learning environment, wonderful personable, hard working
staff and clear operating procedures that provide not only a caring place for my son to thrive but also somewhere my son LOVES to go every day. 5*

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.836)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.836) out of 10 for Kids Planet Christie Fields is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 56 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 56 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 4.836 for Kids Planet Christie Fields is calculated as follows: ( (569 Excellents x 5) + (94 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 671 Ratings = 4.836
  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 Christie Fields is based on 56 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 245 number of registered child places is 49, which has been reached with 56 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.
