Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are very happy with the care provided to our daughter. She started nursery when she was 8 months old, initially part time and slowly built up to full time. She is doing amazing and thriving. She is 15 months now and at 7 am she is by the door with her jacket and her shoes to take her to nursery.
All the staff is brilliant and I can see she is very comfortable with them. They are very supportive and helped me with managing a few difficulties. I can see my daughter is happy to spend 10 hours per day there and still keep going back the next day or even at weekends. I can’t wish for more. Very happy mum here!

My son attended Kids Allowed Stockport from baby room to pre school before starting reception and my daughter is currently in woddlers. The care every single member of staff have given both children has been incredible. They are always involved in activities and they really try to cater to your child's
individual interests. It is so reassuring that you can see your child interacting with the staff and other children during drop off and pick ups as this isn't the case for some nurseries in the area - Kids Allowed clearly are rightfully really proud of the work their staff put in to make the children happy and cared for. The staff always have time for the parents and keep in contact regularly throughout the day. Particularly happy with a member of staff in woddler 3 who has built a close bond with my little girl and makes her so happy to go to nursery! Also, love the levels of security - door code plus biometric entry as well as staff that actually get to know all parents and carers! Would recommend to all!

My daughter has been at this nursery since 1 (is now 3 and a half). In each room we have felt she has been very well looked after, fed brilliant food and has had fun! We particularly liked the layout of the building, when she was a baby in particular and felt it was safer than in some smaller nurseries.
She made excellent progress and she has taken part in a wide range of activities including things like listening walks and meeting bugs that the bug lady brought in for them. They get them outside in the gardens as much as possible and keep them active. The phonics work she has done with the teacher in the class has inspired her and she thoroughly enjoys learning. When she has had any little bumps or they have been at all concerned about anything they have phoned straight away. She had strange rashes for a while and they kept an eye on them and took photos of them changing for me. The staff and manager are excellent, listen and act on concerns and ideas and are extremely open to discussion.

My daughter attended this nursery. She had difficulties going to nursery for 6 weeks but when they changed her room, she changed. She started to be happy to go to nursery and enjoy herself.
I appreciate four members of staff and especially one staff member in particular as she was the first person
in the nursery my daughter could trust, get love from and feel comfortable all day by spending time with her.
Thank you, everyone.

We love how engaged all of the staff are with our little boy. Everyone knows his name, greets him when he comes in and waves him goodbye when he leaves - and the energy they invest is genuine. From the day he started, he was made to feel welcome and loved. The team worked hard to settle him in, and
now he is thriving. Nothing has ever been too much trouble here - accommodating dietary requirements, sleep patterns, start times etc. We have always felt they had his best interests at heart.

I have two children at Kids Allowed. One in preschool, who has progressed throughout the nursery, and another in babies, who started approx 1 month ago. Both children love nursery and have both developed significantly. The staff there go above and beyond to create relationships with both children and
couldn't ask for better people to be around my children.

Overall what an amazing nursery. Our little girl loves coming to nursery and loves being socialable saying "hiya" to all the staff and children in her presence. She has shown lots of happiness and developing more and more each day. The care and learning experiences she receives whilst in their care
are brilliant. If you want a nursery with fantastic caring, enthusiastic and supportive staff to help your child flourish and prepare them for life experience this is the place to be. We can't thank them enough for always being there for us too. Whether it's a check-in call or having a bad day and wanting some reassurance, they are happy to listen. I'm glad I've chosen here. With being a previous deputy manager myself, I was quite particular in what I wanted for my little one but I definitely made the best choice.

I just want to say I'm really happy with this nursery. My two older children came hee and now my younger one comes to this nursery three days a week. She has come on so much with everything and they helped her so much with her walking and I can't thank them enough with that. She is in Woddlers at the
moment and loves the team and everyone, she is due to move up to Toddlers soon and I know she will be really happy and settle well in the room. The staff are always happy and smiling away and always happy to help and support.

Review from Tom W (Father of Child) published on 9 September 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Our child finished in August 2022.
Overall has been pretty awful to be honest.
Our son has special educational needs with diagnosed learning disabilities. The nursery are aware of, yet tried to treat him in the same way as other non-SEND kids in the room.
Our son has Autism and SPD and has been
mostly non-verbal until 3 years old.
He would often become overwhelmed and upset and highly sensitive to change/noises etc. Could lead to outbursts or being upset and causing toilet accidents. Nursey staff would often find it 'easier' to leave our son 'when he got like this' as it was 'challenging' - so 3-4 times a week would go to collect our child in soiled clothes sat alone in the corner of a room.
The nursery also were to receive inclusion funding to help him be 'included' and also are aware that an EHCP is in place but never did anything with either of those things. The setting has not had any benefit of a qualified teacher the whole time he was in Pre-school & no trips/excursions ever.

My son loves it here! The interaction the amazing staff have with the children is brilliant, keeping them entertained throughout the day with various activities right through to caring for their every need. Kids Allowed Stockport always keep you informed, even on the minor details which is great. They
are always on hand to help should you ever need them. A wonderful team and set up at Kids Allowed Stockport. A fantastic nursery with a great set up would highly recommend.

Both of my children have gone to Kids Allowed Stockport, everyone is friendly and so lovely. My littlest one has only just started and has settled in brilliantly. I was really nervous about sending him to nursery due to the pandemic, but all the team in the babies room have made such an effort and
he comes out with a huge smile. The team upload regular pictures throughout the day which is so nice to see. The food is great and the facilities are amazing for the little ones. I wouldn’t feel comfortable sending my little one anywhere else.

I highly recommend this nursery. My daughters both started in toddlers and have both had the best time whilst there. I also recommended the nursery to a friend who's daughter started in babies and is now in woddlers.
The staff are so friendly and always approachable. If there's ever been anything
I've needed to query, the help and support has been there. It's super clean and the food is cooked from scratch each mealtime which always smells divine. I wish I could go to nursery.

I always knew I wanted to send my children to Kids Allowed and I’m so glad I did. My son loves it here! The interaction the amazing staff have with the children is brilliant, keeping them entertained throughout the day with various activities right through to caring for their every need.
The nursery
itself is fantastic with lots of space, different activities set up in the rooms and lots of outdoor space for the children to run around. I love the big windows and doors in each of the rooms to look through so I can see my son playing without him knowing I’m there.
Kids Allowed always keep you informed even on the minor details which is great. They are always on hand to help should you ever need them.
Fantastic nursery with a great set up, would highly recommend.

We currently have 2 daughters at Kids Allowed Stockport - our oldest has been there for nearly 2 years and youngest for 4 months. I can't praise the nursery and the team enough! Our girls have thrived since being at Kids Allowed and are doing really well. The recent addition of the app allows for real-time
updates on the girls including pictures which allows us to feel part of their day. The team at Stockport are great and always happy to help with any issues or enquiries. When comparing prices, Kids Allowed does come across as one of the most expensive however everything is included within that price and there are no hidden extras. There are also discounts available for certain days and siblings etc.

The staff at Kids Allowed are brilliant and I have felt at ease sending my daughter here. The team have adapted seamlessly to life with Covid-19 and I feel confident that my child is happy and safe. My only criticism would be one for the now Kids Planet management who are yet to implement some sort
of parental communication app. Having a till receipt in 2020 to tell you about your child's day when you are paying for a premium nursery is ridiculous. The only pictures you get are on Facebook (which again seems bizarre). Fortunately, the staff are fab and spend a lot of time talking you through your child's day on pick up, but I'm sure they would also appreciate being able to do more of this electronically to save time.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.669)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.669) out of 10 for Kids Planet Stockport 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 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 36 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 4.755 for Kids Planet Stockport is calculated as follows: ( (373 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 437 Ratings = 4.755
  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 4.914 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Stockport is based on 36 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 197 number of registered child places is 39.4. 36 Positive Reviews ÷ 39.4 = 0.914
  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.
