My son is currently in the pre-school room upstairs.
The staff in the room are excellent and they go above and beyond to make his experience the best it can be! They are always friendly and welcoming every morning.
There are lots of fun activities that are creative and stimulating. He has come on
leaps and bounds with is language, writing and numbers in a very short time.
The communication at handovers is great, we know exactly what he has been up to that day. They are ready and responsive to any questions and we feel fully involved in my boy's learning experience.
The staff really know my boy and know how to manage any situation as I would. It is very reassuring that I know he is in the best hands!

My son has been attending Kids Allowed for some time now and since he started attending his development has come on massively. He is happy and learning every single day. He has moved rooms twice now and each time has transitioned so well and loved his key workers. He is always doing activities which
I am updated about through the app regularly. I couldn’t imagine him going to any other nursery.

Thank you for this great feedback, it means so much to our team.
We look forward to seeing where his Kids Allowed journey takes him.

My son was born in the first lockdown, sending him to nursery was a big thing for our family, from his very first settle our worries were eased, we were all welcomed as family by the team and managers. Team show genuine care, love and interest in our son. He has thrived since joining, although he has
some speech delays, he is so comfortable and happy. The scenco has been outstanding in supporting us and helping with his targets. Every key person he's had has always been wonderful and caring. I can't recommend this nursery enough. He eats freshly cooked food, everything is included as well as the cute bag you're given. Excellent nursery!
Reply from Beth and Faye at Kids Planet Macclesfield
Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback. It's so nice to hear he is thriving during his Kids Allowed journey.

After having my little boy, I was so worried to leave him at nursery. I chose Kids Allowed and that was the best decision I could have made for my baby! The pure love and care he has received in the baby room has not only made me feel at ease to leave him, it has allowed him to feel happy and safe making
him thrive and come home showing me new things every week! We can’t believe how much he has progressed and taken to nursery life and we can not thank the baby room enough for everything they do!
Staff are always happy, present, and welcoming.
The room is always clean, tidy, and well set up with activities!
The communication from the staff to me as a parent regarding what he’s done that day, what they are working towards etc is very good and I absolutely love seeing what he’s been up to while I’m at work using their app.
I can not rate this nursery/the staff here enough and the security into the nursery is very good!

My son has attended Kids Allowed 4 days a week since he was 6 months old, he is now 2. Can’t fault anything, the staff are incredible all super chatty and welcoming, always take time to talk to you about the day and what they have been doing. I have no doubt that the care and attention provided to
each child is excellent. My son is always learning/experiencing new things. The meals are varied and healthy. The updates on the app are really beneficial. I can’t wait to send my daughter later on in the year.

Our little girl has been going to Macclesfield since April 2021. The staff in the baby room were amazing. After a really difficult lockdown, leaving our little girl was a real challenge and they were so helpful and kind. She absolutely loves going now and is thriving in the woddler room

Having had a baby in lockdown, I was very nervous at sending my son to nursery when I went back to work. On visiting Kids Allowed, I knew this was where I wanted him to go. I hadn't visited anywhere else but the feeling I got from the staff and the facilities put my mind at ease. Everyone is so friendly
and helpful and my son has loved going since day 1. He has always been happy to go in and never cried (something every parent fears) he has recently moved up to Woddlers,after spending 7 months in babies and transitioned to the new room very well. I never worry about him while he is there.

My son is currently in Woddlers and is the second of my children to go to Kids Allowed Macclesfield. We, as a family, have been very happy with Kids Allowed since my eldest started there in 2018. The staff, both in the rooms and in management are fantastic and the service is personal.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of our children attend Kids Allowed Macclesfield and have done since baby room. From the moment they walk in the door and hear their first "good morning!", to leaving at the end of their day, my kids feel at home. The staff are attentive, observant, enthusiastic and consistently surprise us with
how they go above and beyond.
The latest update to their technologies means that we can follow our kids' development daily, and always receive pictures and comments. This definitely helps me, especially on the days that they might not be "quite right".
The fun activities, the facilities, the loving team and the catering all makes it feel like my kids don't need to think about me or their dad or miss us during their sessions. And quite frankly, I love that.
Definitely at least go and have a look around if you're looking for somewhere for your "smalls".

I am a retired teacher with a wealth of experience in education and I have been amazed by the wonderful provisions available at Kids Allowed. Both of my grandsons have enjoyed and thrived educationally, physically, socially and emotionally under the expert guidance of the skilled staff at Kids Allowed,
Macclesfield.
The whole ethos of the nursery is one of caring, support and encouragement which ensures that every child within their care reaches their own personal potential within a safe and stimulating environment. The staff plan well for their children offering varied and enjoyable activities throughout the day. I particularly applaud the fact that within each of the Kids Allowed facilities there is a trained teacher who oversees the planning and ensures that the activities being delivered are appropriate and challenging.
The staff are always welcoming and helpful and I love the printed feedback received when I collect my grandson outlining everything he has done during the day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are really pleased with the excellent level of care for our daughter at Kids Allowed Macclesfield. One of the deciding factors for me was that when visiting the nursery prior to committing to them, every member of staff smiled and said hello in passing in the corridor. The architecture of the space
also feels very 'open' and accountable eg large windows, outdoor spaces off every room and a real sense of community amongst the staff. At every touchpoint we've had with the nursery, every member of staff has been professional, friendly and helpful and they have always put the needs and wellbeing of our daughter first. Throughout the day-to-day pick up/drop off of our daughter, staff members are always, without fail, friendly and professional and you feel well able to talk to your child's key worker at any point without rushing. The team have always answered our questions really well and obviously work hard to enable a good relationship with the parents of children in their care.

The baby room staff are always enthusiastic, friendly and happy to listen/talk about any questions I have on drop off/collection. My little one is always very excited to go inside and start his day with the baby room staff. I enjoy seeing updates throughout the day on the activities and 'moments' that
my little one has been up to. I really like the variety of food that my little one experiences at nursery which greatly helps with his weaning journey.
Additionally, the reception staff have always been very helpful and respond quickly if I have a query or issue that needs resolving.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.345)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.345) out of 10 for Kids Planet Macclesfield 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 16 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 4.937 for Kids Planet Macclesfield is calculated as follows: ( (179 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.937
  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 4.408 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Macclesfield is based on 16 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 196 number of registered child places is 39.2. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 39.2 = 0.408
  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.
