Review from Christopher L (Father of Child) published on 8 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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
Overall Experience
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.

Review from Jodie H (Mother of Child) published on 5 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Joshua Himsworth, at Kids Planet Stockport

Thank you for your amazing feedback! I am so happy your children have enjoyed the Kids Allowed experience, even recently with your youngest one starting with us. The team in the baby room are amazingly professional and will support everyone as much as they possibly can. I am glad your youngest is well settled throughout the day, especially with the food! Thank you again - Josh

Overall Experience
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.

Reply from Joshua Himsworth, at Kids Planet Stockport
Thank you for your amazing feedback! I am so happy that your daughters are well settled and loving Kids Allowed! All of the team, childcare and non-childcare work extremely hard to deliver a five-star experience for all children and families. The meals children enjoy are delicious, I will make sure the kitchen team are aware of your great feedback.

Thank you again - Josh

Overall Experience
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.

Reply from Joshua Himsworth, at Kids Planet Stockport

Thank you for your lovely feedback! I am glad your son loves coming to Kids Allowed Stockport. The team work extremely hard ensuring all children are entertained, kept safe and ultimately are well looked after. The nursery has been designed around the needs of the children from Babies right up until Pre-School, the large windows and rooms certainly support this. Kindest regards.

Review from Carly W (Mother of Child) published on 9 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Joshua Himsworth, at Kids Planet Stockport

What lovely feedback! I am so happy to hear how well your children and have settled and have become part of the Kids Allowed family. The Parent Zone app is working really well and I am glad you are happy with this new feature being implemented. Thank you so much, kindest regards!

I love Kids Allowed. I was very nervous about sending my son to a nursery that wasn’t the one my daughter went to. But moving homes meant I needed one more local. From the minute I viewed the nursery I loved it. The staff are amazing and my son loves it. Extremely happy.

Review from Emily (Mother of Child) published on 23 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Joshua Himsworth, at Kids Planet Stockport

Thank you for your lovely feedback! It is great to hear how well your little one has settled in. We now have an amazing new feature called Parent Zone in which the team can send updates electronically throughout the day straight to you! Thank you again.

My toddler son sustained a serious injury while attending nursery and the matter was not handled satisfactorily. I am therefore concerned about the care, safeguarding, and supervisory protocols in place.

Overall Experience

Wonderful team and set up at Kids Allowed Stockport. My son has been with them since 9 months old and is now heading for 3. Every room has been amazing, the team and environment included. The food is healthy and varied, the topics covered and engagement is exactly what we would hope. Water play on the hot summer days and cosy crafts on the cold winter ones. The team are so personable and work hard to build relationships, even when we move up a room the previous room's staff wish him good morning with a smile and a wave. The little extras like hair cuts and photos all mean so much. I really cannot fault one single thing!

Reply from Joshua Himsworth, at Kids Planet Stockport

This is amazing feedback. Thank you so much for your kind words. I am glad your little one has been happy and settled since 9 months old. The childcare team strives to make sure every child and family has a personal relationship with their key person. The kitchen team likewise work extremely hard...

Review from Sarah S (Mother of Child) published on 15 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Since my daughter started at Kids Allowed in the Baby Room I've always felt totally reassured that this is the right setting for her. We had a bad experience with another nursery before choosing here and we've never looked back. She is now in Toddlers (having transitioned twice now as she's moved between rooms - each time without any problems at all) and she just loves it. The activities that they do each day are so valuable to their learning and I've watched her flourish. The team are fantastic, they listen and support your individual parenting needs and also feedback thoroughly each day. I can't rate them highly enough and have recommended multiple friends (who have also loved the setting).

Reply from Joshua Himsworth, at Kids Planet Stockport

Thank you for your amazing feedback! I am glad your little one has been enjoying the Kids Allowed experience since being in the Baby room. I will share your comments with the childcare team, all of whom work extremely hard, supporting children with passionate care. Thank you again.

Overall Experience

My little boy first found it a struggle at the drop-off. Kids Allowed Stockport has gone over and above to make him settle, feel welcome and always comes out at the end of the day a very happy boy! With no settling in sessions, this has been a hard transition due to COVID restrictions, however, the Kids Allowed team have been consistent, and very helpful to help him settle into his new room. Very pleased with the company!

Reply from Joshua Himsworth, at Kids Planet Stockport

Thank you for your lovely comments! I am so happy your little one leaves each day happy and smiling. It is a privilege taking care of children every day and thank you for understanding the recent COVID restrictions keeping everybody safe. Thank you again.

This nursery is excellent. I cannot fault any part of it, from the keyworker assigned to my child to the rest of the staff. It is clear that they all really care for the child. Leaving your child can be daunting, but Kids Allowed leave you feeling relaxed that your child is in safe hands, and there can be no greater compliment than that.
