Overall Experience

My daughter has attended KA (Stockport) for the past 2 years. The care has been exceptional and she absolutely loves the nursery. Facilities are of a high standard and activities carried out provide a stimulating environment. All staff appear trained to a high standard and are very caring.

My son started in the baby room this January. The ladies in the room have been fantastic, he has settled in really well. I go to work knowing he is well looked after and having fun :).

Review from Sara F (Mother of Child) published on 28 March 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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.

Overall Experience

My daughter left KA at the end of August 2016 to start school, and she had been at the nursery 2.5 years prior to her leaving. She could not have had a better start. She is thouroughly prepared for school and that is hugely associated with her experience at KA. The faciity is fantastic and exceeded my expectations, and I could not recommend it highly enough. The team have all been wonderful and my daughter has come on leaps and bounds.

Overall Experience
My son is 9 years old so was in the after school club. Unfortunately he wasn't enjoying it so I had to cancel the service. We could also no longer justify the cost if he wasn't having fun. I think due to his age, there wasn't much for him to do, a lot of the things provided were for littler children. He also was not keen on the food!

I think there's healthy and too healthy! The staff were pleasant and kind enough though which is important. I would recommend it for younger children but definitely not for 8-11 year old's. I think the juniors need to be separated from the infants as putting 5 year old's with 9 and 10 year old's is going to be impossible to please them all.

Reply from Jennie Johnson, at Kids Planet Stockport

I'm sorry to hear your son didn't enjoy afterschool club. You are right, at the moment the majority of the children using the after school club are younger. Probably because we are quite new. As these children grow up with us, there will be a healthy sized older group as well. But until that happens, your feedback is fair.

Review from Richard L (Father of Child) published on 25 July 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

In the two and a half years my daughter has attended Kids Allowed she has changed from being a toddler to being a child ready for the challenges of primary school.

Throughout her time – Toddlers, Pre-School and Prep-school – we have been impressed by the level of dedication and care of all Kids Allowed staff she has interacted with. It is a safe, stimulating and school-like environment, one which is friendly, playful, noisy, messy and most of all fun.

Staff turnover appears to be very low and she still sees many of the members of staff that looked after her two years ago, giving a level of stability that is very rare. My wife and I have trusted Kids Allowed to keep her safe and to help her become the bright, curious and confident 4-year-old we see before us; it is absolutely one of the best decisions, we as parents have made.

I cannot give a stronger recommendation of their 5-star, Ofsted outstanding services than that. Thank you Kids Allowed for helping to bring up our daughter!

Review from Jude J (Mother of Child) published on 27 June 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Really impressed with this nursery and feel reassured on the mornings I drop my little girl off. The staff are great, work very much in partnership with parents, treat each child as an individual and clearly care for and like what they do. The food and activities are varied and exciting for whatever the child's preferences may be. The one downside is that parking can, at times (peak times) be a bit tricky, but a very small negative for otherwise all positives.

Overall Experience

The nursery is such a friendly happy place for the children. The staff make the parents feel at ease and you know the children will be cared for and looked after. The nursery does so many activities and they take the kids out on trips all the time. I couldn't be more happier with the staff or the nursery itself!

Overall Experience

My son started KA in the Woddlers room and has now moved up to Toddlers. I couldn't be more happy with the staff, planned activities, and organisation. I had concerns re: my older sons nursery/preschool when he was there which never really seemed to be addressed. KA has ticked all of the boxes for me, and I feel that not only are they there for the kids but the parents too.

Overall Experience
KIDS ALLOWED (Stockport) is a fantastic nursery and I have recommended the nursery to several family and friends. The members of staff are very polite, friendly and accommodating, they have exceptional customer service skills and clearly highly motivated. I can see the benefits of sending my daughter to KIDS ALLOWED, she has developed her social skills and the learning is so diverse that she is already exploring different parts of the mind and building on her awareness. If you are choosing a Nursery in the Stockport area I would highly recommend this Nursery.

Review from Basharath Q (Father of Child) published on 16 June 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child have been in the Kids Allowed for more than a year now and I can literally see the development in my kid. He is learning and most importantly he is learning/growing/grooming in the right direction. He surprises us with his word choice and his social behavior is really impressive. Kids Allowed knows how to cater child's interest and plan their development accordingly. Food is great and nutritious. The outdoor trips have really brought a big change in him and he enjoys the surrounding when we go out. Five Stars!

Overall Experience

Kids Allowed has thought of everything. My daughter attends full time and my eldest also went to KA. I am the most happy I can be about go having someone other then myself looking after her - it's not easy to be comfortable with a childcare provider, but I wholeheartedly recommend KA. My daughter has been through 3 of the 4 room stages.

Overall Experience

We couldn't wish for a better nursery for our little girl. Everything from the staff, facilities and food are faultless.

The staff always encourage feedback and really take an interest in all children. All staff know the names of all children which is a lovely personal touch.

We'd have no hesitation in recommending the nursery to anyone thinking of using kids allowed Stockport.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 10months old now she is nearly 3. Not had 1 complaint. She has had 2 amazing key workers from woddlers and toddlers room. Amazing room managers in both my daughters rooms. the food is healthy and all types of food is given. Feedback I'm always pleased with as it sounds like she as had a fun filled day everyday she's in Which reassures me when I'm leaving her in kids alloweds hands. Not had many accidents, also Learning journey is always a good read. My daughter was out of nappies at 20months old, learnt numbers upto 20 well before her 2nd birthday. Wouldn't consider another nursery.

Review from Kathryn S (Mother of Child) published on 16 June 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son joined the nursery when he was 8 months old and I was going through the stressful challenge of returning to work. He has since progressed from the baby room, into woddlers and as he approaches his second birthday next month he will move into toddlers.
Every member of staff that I've met/dealt with so far has been nothing but professional and I feel confident that he is well cared for at Kids Allowed Stockport.
I love the fact that the nursery encourage independence in the children at such a young age and feel this is definitely helping his development.
I feel my son has blossomed into a confident and clever toddler with the help and support of the brilliant staff.
Included in the price is any nappies, creams and all meals (including breakfast which is a god send in the morning when rushing out the house). All meals are prepared on site by the chef and have great variety.
I love collecting my son to a printed report of his day.

I highly recommend this nursery.

Review from Joanne S (Mother of Child) published on 16 June 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Kids Allowed is somewhat of an unsung hero. Aside from the mandatory elements you'd expect from any childcare provision - Kids Allowed goes the extra mile. Their approach to busy working mums is second to none, from child haircuts on site, holiday clubs for older school siblings, dry cleaning drop off, babysitting and the utmost understanding if you are stuck in traffic is amazing. I would highly recommend them, they are worth every penny. My youngest son has developed at a rate of knots and he genuinely loves his three-days-a-week there. The team are fabulous - end of day reports, taking the time to know you and your child, professional, friendly, attentive....

Overall Experience
We love this nursery. The staff at nursery have helped him so much with his development.
The reception staff know his name and are always there with a welcoming smile and wave. He is so happy here. It is reassuring to know that my child loves nursery and that he's safe and learning lots too.
The handover we get at the end of the day is amazing, i know exactly what he's eaten and what he's got up to during the day. The food always sounds delicious, I know he's had good healthy meals every day. His class always seem to go on lots of adventures and get out and about, it's great!!
I love that the staff really seem to care about the children and have valuable connections with each of them.
My son loves the fruit platter at the end of the day, I think it's a lovely idea. Oh and also the coffee in the morning is a winner with me!

Overall, let's just say I'm one proud mummy, and kids allowed have a lot to do with helping my child grow into a wonderful little man ???? Thank you.

Review from Rebecca (Mother of Child) published on 16 June 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Returning to work is hard for any new mum, but the staff made it a lot easier. They dealt with my "sleep deprived mum of small baby worrying far too much and asking stupid questions" questions really well - they reassured me with every query I could think of and made me feel really happy and positive about our child care choice.
The settle in sessions were great and the information we were provided with contained answers to questions even I had not thought of.
There are a lot of little extras that make life easier, from the helpful reception team, the cups of tea and the storage room to leave the pram, right through to the day bags provided (which we use at weekends too!). We love the flexibility of the early and late drop off if needed and have been able to swap days around when grandparents have needed to swap their day.
Thoughtful handmade gifts, laminated photos and occasion cards have added to the personal service provided.

So happy with our choice of childcare provider.

Overall Experience

We love kids allowed! My daughter was extremely shy, until she went to nursery. Where, thanks to the staff at kids allowed Stockport, she has become so confident and so clever. I really believe, that she is much more advanced than other children her age (who don't attend) and that is all due to this nursery! We couldn't thank them enough.
