I love Kids Allowed. My daughter started in the Toddler Room and now attends the after school club and holiday club. The team go above and beyond to ensure every child has the best time and the team really get to know every child individually.
The menu is fabulous, home cooked and healthy and the trips
the children go on are another reason why Kids Allowed is the only place I'd send my child.
They also now do flexible hours so it's not just the standard 8-6. Top marks Kids Allowed.

I can't rate Kids Allowed highly enough. Our son has been in every room from Babies all the way through to where he is now Prep School. His Kids Allowed journey has been incredible and we couldn't be happier. The facilities are fabulous, so much space, both inside and out for the children to play.
The trips that he has been on over the years have been fantastic, museums, parks, the airport, sealife centre etc.
The activities are always so well planned & structured. I believe that Kids Allowed (particularly Pre and prep school) provides the most amazing environment and activities to prepare the children for School.
The staff are just amazing. From, Babies, Woddlers, Toddlers, Pre/Prep school I have never had one cause for concern. I know that I leave my son in the best hands at Kids Allowed. They truly care. Every child is important and special. My son has had amazing relationships with all of his key workers and lots of other staff. Not forgetting the reception / admin staff. Again, just brilliant and always there to help out

I moved my Daughter from another nursery to Kids Allowed Macclesfield just as she turned 2 and I can honestly say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. The facilities are amazing as is the flexibility (swap day service) but it’s the Staff that make it the best. They create such a welcoming, loving
and friendly atmosphere.
I drop my daughter off in the early drop room and although there tends to be different staff each week, they are all so good with her. Always happy with open arms and what amazes me is, they always know the names of the children.
There is so much to do and I know my daughter never gets bored, the activities are planned with much consideration. No matter how busy they are when I go to pick her up they always ensure I am told about her day. My daughter is thriving and a lot of that is down to the staff at KA. I trust the whole team and know that my daughter is safe and well looked after. I would definitely recommend Kids Allowed Macclesfield.

Both of my children attend Kids Allowed Macclesfield (one from Preschool to Holiday Club and the other from Baby Room to Preschool) and I am so thankful for all the care, attention and fun that Kids Allowed provide. The staff look after my children so well whilst nurturing their individual needs and
personalities in a safe and loving environment. The staff not only care for the children but for the whole family from the friendly daily greetings for us all, to the comprehensive handovers and beautiful creations my kids bring home to share with us. Our family has had a tricky personal journey, but the staff are there every step of the way to support and help us in any way they can which is so reassuring. The bonds my children and the staff have are so special and it is lovely to hear and see all the amazing activities they have done together. I am so grateful to that Kids Allowed has the same philosophy of care and nurture that I would wish for in a nursery - my children are so happy, confident and look forward to each day at Kids Allowed.

My son is currently at this fantastic nursery. In the year that he has been attending Kids Allowed he has absolutely thrived, he loves going in every day and the staff are all so friendly and welcoming.
They take the time to get to know him and are aware of his likes and dislikes.
He loves the little
trips that they go on and the variation of activities that they provide each time he attends is brilliant.
It makes going to work that little bit easier knowing my little boy is happy, safe and enjoying a fun packed day.

My son has been attending Kids Allowed since he was 8 months old and I honestly cannot speak highly enough of everything about this nursery. The staff go above and beyond and not just the staff in their rooms either - they all make such an effort to know all the children which creates such a lovely,
friendly atmosphere. The activities for the children are planned with much consideration and my son is absolutely thriving. The girls are a huge part of my son's life and it means so much that they genuinely love taking the time to get to know him through and through. I trust them implicitly. As a parent, I would highly recommend Kids Allowed.

I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a childcare provider who really goes the extra mile. Every day I leave my son knowing he’s in amazing hands of people who genuinely care about him. They take the time to get to know him as an individual and his likes and dislikes which is why he loves
it so much and will often refer to his carers by name when he’s at home! My son is now 2.5 and started at this nursery when he was 7 months and in the time there he’s developed into a confident, bright and kind little boy and I know nursery has really contributed to this. Both myself and my husband work full time and we can only do this knowing our son is in a safe, encouraging and happy environment such as this.

Our family has used Kids Allowed Macclesfield since August 2012 for our two children. They have both been in babies, woddlers, toddlers, preschool, prep school and are now in out of school and holiday club. We cannot rate this nursery highly enough. We have always been struck by the professionalism
and friendliness of all the staff. Our children love the activities and opportunities that this nursery has afforded them. As parents, we know that our children will have a great day when they go to Kids Allowed Macclesfield, that they will always enjoy the food, and they will be well looked after.

My daughter has had a super time developing and learning at Kids Allowed. She started in the baby room and has progressed through the whole nursery. Every room has been a pleasure to walk into. The staff are very friendly to me. I love how well they know my child, her likes and dislikes, personality
and interests, using this in the activities they take part in with my child. Now she is all ready for school with a whole load of life and school skills. Thank you, everyone, at Kids Allowed Macclesfield for the amazing work you do every day.

Both of my children have been at Kids Allowed Macclesfield since a young age. It has been like a home away from home for them and they have loved their time there so far. It's great to hear about the different activities they do - something new every day. And their key workers have been amazing! I would

I can't recommend Kids Allowed Macclesfield enough. Both my daughters have been there and they have been brilliant throughout the 6 years we have been coming. My younger daughter has additional needs and they have handled this amazingly. She had 1:1 care (funded by the council) and they ensured all
of her therapies were carried out and all of her needs met. I can honestly say that she would not be the happy, confident little girl that she is today without the brilliant people at Kids Allowed.


Whenever we have had a slight complaint they have dealt with it positively and quickly. They've always come back to me afterwards with what they have done and what will be changed going forwards to ensure it doesn't happen again. They always welcome feedback.
I don't know any other children who have been prepared for school as well as those from Kids Allowed. They have their lunch in the Studio, change themselves for PE and even have a full-time teacher for 'lessons'. This ensures they have the best possible start to school.

I have two children at Kids Allowed Macclesfield. My eldest is now in the preschool and has been at the nursery from six months old. My youngest is in the baby room. Comparing my experience of this nursery to the childminder and other local preschools I used for my eldest two children, I can highly
recommend this nursery.
All the staff are amazing. The activities they do on a daily basis ensure the children are having fun and learning. The activities are varied and the trips are interesting (they don't cost extra). I can see how much attending this nursery has enabled my youngest two children to develop. I only wish this nursery was here when my eldest two were younger.

I was hesitant about sending my shy two year old daughter to nursery but was instantly reassured as we had a look around - she walked straight in and was wowed by the fresh, bright environment and friendly team. As soon as she started she settled well as she was so tempted by the activities and trips!
Toddler team are brilliant and have gradually seen our daughter turn into a chatterbox!

Excellent. Safe. High quality environment. Caring and friendly staff. Good number of activities to help the kids learn. Sensible policies around illness medicine etc etc. Parking can be a pain but is a price worth paying for feeling happy about where my little one is. Pricing seems competitive with
other quality nurseries. If we have another they will go there too.

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.
