My daughter started in September 2020. In a matter of weeks of being there; she has learnt so much, and she is now blossoming into a very clever little girl. All the staff are brilliant at handling her medical care and food allergy needs, this is an outstanding nursey, and I would recommend to anyone
who is thinking about sending their child to this nursery.
Reply from Joshua Himsworth at Kids Planet StockportThank you for your amazing feedback! I am so happy that even in a short space of time your little one has been learning so much. I will certainly pass your feedback to the childcare team. Thank you again.

This review is long overdue. My son is leaving after three and a half years most of which was full time. We've had a great experience from start to finish and we'll be sad to say goodbye. Many of the team have been there all along the way as he's moved from babies to prep school. They all work hard
to make the nursery a warm and welcoming place to come to every day. There are loads of fun activities going on and he's been on some great trips. We love hearing about what he's been up to and it's made our life as working parents so much easier. I have a happy confident boy who is ready to start school thanks to his time there. I should also mention that he loves the food even though he's a fussy eater at home.
Reply from Claire Hall at Kids Planet StockportThank you Carly, It is so lovely to read your feedback. I will pass it on to the team. Good luck with school and don't forget to email a picture in his uniform. Claire

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter joined Kids Allowed in the baby room at 11 months old. From the minute I stepped through the door, any doubts I had about leaving my daughter in full-time daycare disappeared.


The staff are all exceptionally caring and attentive and do all they can to care for and develop your child

and also provide them with an extremely fun and activity-filled day! The staff in both the Baby and Woddler rooms are some of the loveliest people I could hope for my little one to be cared for and influenced by every day.


I can't recommend this nursery enough, besides the exceptional care, great menu and snacks (fruit on the way out at the end of the day!), this nursery has all the added extras from babysitting service to holiday and BH swaps so you never miss out on a days fees!


Having read a lot about the nursery and it's founders' reason for creating a nursery that makes working parents feel at ease, it certainly lives up to its ethos and the staff are by far the shining stars!

Reply from Claire Hall at Kids Planet StockportHi Jessica, Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. The team will be so happy to read this. Your daughter is doing so well with us and it's a delight to know you are so happy, as is she. Thanks, Claire.

I've always had the best experience with Kids Allowed. From the reception area, security of the site, to the feedback I receive at the end of the day regarding my child. My daughter is always happy when I drop her off, to when I pick her up every day. I constantly pass on my feedback to my friends and
family. Kids Allowed is by far the best nursery in the North West.
Reply from Claire Hall at Kids Planet StockportThank you so much, it's so lovely to read your feedback. I love chatting to your little one, she is always having such a fab time in her room. Thanks.

My son has attended since being less than a year old, he is now 4. The standard of care is exceptional. The staff are enthusiastic and knowledgeable and all activities are age-appropriate and relevant and all help my son gain new skills and broaden his learning abilities. My son was referred to the
SEN department and an action plan was made to meet his needs individually and the support we have had as a family has helped a great deal for managing his problems areas. So thankful for a truly fantastic team.
Reply from Claire Hall at Kids Planet StockportThank you Kirsten for the lovely feedback. It's so rewarding knowing that you feel this way about Kids Allowed. We love getting the children prepared for their next milestones and school is going to be an exciting time. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have sent our second child to Kids Allowed, having had an excellent experience with the first, even though it means travelling a little further.
Staff are fantastic, always very polite and enthusiastic and seem to form genuine bonds with all the children.
The children are kept busy from start
to finish and all activities carefully age appropriate.
The food is varied and of an excellent standard.
The children play outside as much as possible in safe environments with lots of toys to go round.
The children seem to interact very well with each and form early friendships.
Feedback is very detailed and staff always have time to discuss the day or your child more generally.
Price is on the high side.
Reply from Claire Hall at Kids Planet StockportThank you for the kind feedback Ben. I’m so glad your experience the second time is as good as the first.

Review from Gen F (Mother of Child) published on 7 September 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Exceptional child care. A consistently high standard of care. Staff have a caring, nurturing approach and are receptive to children's individual needs. Children are engaged in exciting, stimulating activities each day, the staff team have a fabulous energy and an enthusiastic approach.
Feedback is
excellent, parents are made to feel a part of their children's nursery lives.
Flexible approach if working shift patterns or self-employed - KA allows swaps, extra sessions. This has provided me with the flexibility to set up my own business whilst my child has attended this centre.
I am very particular about who I leave my children with, yet have parted from them each day, knowing that they were in safe hands.
I have a 7-year gap between my children and can honestly say that the high quality of care has remained the same as this company has expanded.
It's an 'outstanding' from me!
Reply from Claire Hall at Kids Planet StockportThis is a lovely review thank you, we wish her good luck at school and hope she stays in touch with all her KA friends.

Review from Kerry S (Mother of Child) published on 7 September 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended Kids Allowed since she was one. We were a little nervous about leaving her initially as she was born at 26 weeks and was very poorly when she was a baby. So we were a little more protective than you normally would be when your child starts nursery and she was full-time Monday
to Friday. From day one, the nursery and all the staff have been amazing. I can honestly say she has loved the time spent there and has developed great bonds with all her key workers. The facilities are excellent and the people are so dedicated to ensuring the children are happy, that there hasn’t been a day where she hasn’t been happy. My daughter is now four and a half and starts school in September. Thank you everyone at Kids Allowed - you are an amazing company and all your staff are a credit to your business. Thank you for looking after our baby girl (big girl now!).
Reply from Claire Hall at Kids Planet StockportThank you so much for your lovely comment Kerry. We wish her good luck at school and thank you for sending us the photos of her in her uniform, absolutely adorable.

I could not fault any part of our experience with Kids Allowed. Our baby has grown into such a wonderful and smart little girl and much of the credit is owed to the staff. She has formed such wonderful relationships with both the staff and the children and has had values and confidence instilled in
her that will last a lifetime. Thank you so much for your hard work. She is more than ready for the next exciting chapter of her life and I’m both saddened and excited to see her leaving such a fabulous environment.
Reply from Claire Hall at Kids Planet StockportThank you, Natalie, it is lovely to read your review. We hope she settles into school and continues to be the social butterfly we know she is.

The nursery has been very supportive in helping my son with personal care such as teeth brushing and feeding himself. They also help with toilet training when this is needed. The outdoor space is used very well. I just wish it wasn't on the main road with all the traffic fumes. The staff are second

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been at Kids Allowed Stockport for nearly four years and the experience has been exceptional. Focused learning at an early age was very important to us and Kids Allowed Stockport has enabled our daughter to learn in a friendly, informative and fun way while developing a kind, inquisitive
and happy personality. The opportunity to go on regular trips to museums, safari parks, and other fun places has led to many detailed conversations at home with lots of questions. The key to the Kids Allowed Stockport experience is the people who work there...enthusiastic, dedicated and inspirational are only three of the words which describe the people who have played such a significant role in our daughter's Kids Allowed journey over recent years ... 10 out of 10.
Reply from jennie at Kids Planet StockportThanks for this fabulous review. A 10 out of 10 experience for children and their families is exactly what we set out to do each and every day. The team at Stockport will be thrilled to read your review, thank you for taking the time to write it.

Kids Allowed Stockport is an outstanding childcare provider. My son absolutely loves it and looks forward to going every day. The range of activities on offer is exceptional and I am extremely happy that he is there. I work full time and to know how settled he is really helps. The staff work with you
to address any behavioural issues that arise; a common approach ensures the child has clear boundaries and developmental progress is rapid. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone else.

My daughter is in prep school, she loves it. I love it, the staff are amazing, activities are fab, very varied and promote lots of learning through play and my daughter loves the teaching time with their qualified teacher.
The food is delicious, all prepared in house by the qualified chef.
My daughter
is school ready now, writing her name, she knows her phonics and is fab with her numbers.
She is leaving prep school in September but I have already signed her up for before/after school club and holiday club.

Review from Sara F (Mother of Child) published on 28 March 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Having read reviews, I was very happy with our choice of nursery. However, we do not feel that reality lived up to the reviews. We were disappointed with the activities on offer, and the tracking we received when my son left showed that the staff did not seem to know him at all. His key worker in pre-school
was rarely there, meaning he was passed from adult to adult which did not help him to settle. He was inconsolable every time he was dropped off, even after 18 months.
One of the deciding factors for us in choosing this nursery was the fact that they took the children out on trips and visits. Our son went on 2 trips in 18 months which we were told was because they did not have a mini bus driver. However, we often saw other children out on walking trips or on the 'walking bus'.
I was also left fuming when, although we stated on his registration form that no photos were to be used on any online platform, on three occasions my son's photo was on their Facebook page.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.906)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.906) 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 4.9 out of 5 from 66 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 66 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 4.906 for Kids Planet Stockport is calculated as follows: ( (717 Excellents x 5) + (64 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 786 Ratings = 4.906
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Stockport is based on 66 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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, which has been reached with 66 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
