Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Macclesfield Kids Allowed is a fantastic nursery. Our daughter has been there from 6 months through to pre school. Each room has equally high standards, the staff are very switched on, hard working, caring and attentive to both the children and parents. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Review from Hannah (Mother of Child) published on 14 December 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I viewed 10 nurseries, and nothing compared to Kids Allowed. My daughter is very active, and I was concerned by nurseries where children are held in one room. At Kids Allowed, the children are taken out on trips weekly, they have free access to outdoor space any time of the day, and the rooms are a
great size. There are also other rooms within the building that they visit - the studio, sensory and soft play rooms. My one hesitation had been the number of kids, which at times can sound high, but actually it is rarely crowded due to children out at various locations, and in fact the size of the nursery is a great asset as it means there are a much higher standard of facilities available.
There are lots of group activities, and the staff really know the kids. The interaction is extensive, but all play led. My daughter has learnt a great deal during her time at nursery, and I really couldn't recommend Kids Allowed highly enough.
I have an irregular work pattern, yet Kids Allowed can make it work, where several other nurseries wanted to charge me full time to get the flexibility, Kids Allowed are happy to swap sessions and work around my timetable. The person on reception is a legend.


The literature all suggests we are schooling children too early and limiting their play which in turn limits their learning. Kids Allowed philosophy is to learn through play, and where some nurseries pay lip service to that phrase, Kids Allowed have struck it perfectly.

Fantastic childcare setting, my kids have been members of a few and the care and education here surpasses every other setting. Staff are extremely friendly and professional, educational trips are included so the kids are always out and about doing the kind of stuff parents would do with them.

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.
