I would have no hesitation in recommending Macclesfield Kids Allowed Nursery. The care my son receives is second to none and it is a joy to see him so happy. The staff are friendly and welcoming.


My son has thrived since being at the nursery (over 3 years) and the environment has really grown his

self-confidence. The room team are imaginative with their activities and trips and it's awesome hearing about all the things he has done at the end of his day.

Choosing a nursery is such a hard choice as you are trusting people you don’t know to look after your child! My son started Kids Allowed at 6 months old and graduated last year, my daughter started at 6 months old as is now moving up to woddlers. They treat all kids like there own, all staff are so
welcoming and friendly! Sending my kids to Kids Allowed was the best decision we made and somewhere they have both made friends for life!!

Jacqui, thanks so much, this was wonderful to read and we really appreciate it. We love looking after both of your children.

Both my children attend Kids Allowed, my eldest from the age of 8 months and still goes to out of school club now aged 7 and my youngest who is now in toddler 2.
My children have never had a 'bad' day. They teach them so much, from how to sing wind the bobbin to lifelong skills such as using cutlery
or holding a pen to write and draw, The team are amazing, caring, knowledgeable and kind. They make an effort to get to know your kids on a personal level, their likes, dislikes and interests, they are met every day with a smile, a warm heartfelt cuddle and genuine eagerness to give them the best day. Not to mention the yummy nutritious meals that the in-house chef prepares daily, my daughter never comes home hungry (which is no mean feat for her and her bottomless tummy). She goes on amazing trips and is always eager to tell me what she's been up to with her friends when I collect her. I wouldn't trust anybody else to look after my girls!
I would highly recommend Kids Allowed to anyone.

I would recommend Kids Allowed to all of my ‘mummy friends’. I think the nursery is well led, clean, has a range of activities for the children to do and much more. If there are any problems they deal with it straight away. All the staff are very friendly and approachable. The staff are always happy
and appear to enjoy their jobs in making children happy.

Kids Allowed have been really supportive and flexible with regards to childcare. They put me at ease straight away when my child started nursery as she was only 7 months old so I was a little apprehensive. Since she has been there, my daughter has settled very well and the learning and interaction Kids
Allowed provide, even from such a young age, is notable in all aspects of my child’s life.

From Day 1 in nursery, I have found Kids Allowed nursery to be amazing - from the initial settling in, through to Toddler 1. My child loves the staff, the activities, food looks amazing. All staff are friendly and took a genuine interest in my child as an individual and some amazing days out, especially
to see the horses at the horse centre.

My son has been coming here for almost two years and has been through both the baby room and toddlers.
I am always impressed in the way everybody takes time to get to know him and his individual needs and quirks. The support my son has had over the time he has been here had been excellent and has helped
him learn and grow and always at his own pace.
It's just the security a parent needs when handing his child over 5 days a week.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I enrolled my son into Kids Allowed Macclesfield in June 2018 when my childminder closed her business. I was hesitant to have him go to a large nursery as I felt he wouldn’t get the 1-1 attention I wanted for him and feared he would just be another child in a huge class. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
The team at Kids Allowed Macclesfield are the most welcoming, warm and loving people. My son absolutely loves it there. Since he started, his speech, vocabulary, confidence and independence has come on unbelievably. The activities and trips they plan on a weekly basis keep my son entertained and engaged. I couldn’t be more thrilled to have found somewhere so nurturing for my little one. Thank you so much to the team for everything you continue to do.

My child came here after almost two years from a different nursery and it was a total game changer. Happy staff, happy children. I had him in the same time as my nine-month-old in the baby room so have experience of the whole baby to leaving experience. I loved the way the staff reacted to the needs
of the children on a daily basis - my son needed settling in, had a hat obsession and the trip the following week was to a hat museum - the personal touches are just what you need to feel your child is cared for and listened to. So much love for this place - slightly more expensive than some alternatives but well worth every penny. I couldn’t be happier with it for my kids.

I would highly recommend Kids Allowed Macclesfield. The staff are fantastic - friendly, caring, well trained and hard working. The facilities are excellent and the meals which are prepared for the children are first class. My daughter has attended the holiday club for the last four years and my son
who started in the baby room is now in toddlers. Both love it at K A. It puts my mind at ease knowing that my precious little ones are being well looked after and that they enjoy their time there.

I can never thank Kids Allowed Macclesfield or the staff enough for how they have looked after my little girl and me. My little girl started whilst I was in the height of post-natal anxiety. I was always honest with the staff about how hard I found even the idea of leaving her and hadn’t even left her
with family yet. From her settles everyone went above and beyond. But for me it was the little things. A reassuring phone call to say she was ok. Pictures being sent home so I could see she had had a good day. Even the team at reception would always be there with a tissue when needed. Nothing is too much bother. I can honestly say without the staff at Kids Allowed I wouldn’t have been able to return to work. Knowing my daughter is so well cared for, loved and genuinely seen as her own person, not another number. Thank you Kids Allowed Macclesfield.

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.
