Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my child started in pre-school more than a year ago, she's loved every second of it. The staff is caring, loving and fun; there is always plenty of activities for the children to do. The highlights for my daughter have been the arts and crafts, the bikes outdoors and the paddling pool. She's
learnt to ride a bike without stabilisers, gone to Chester zoo, Manchester Science Museum and local parks. They frequently have students, PE teachers and even a hairdresser. She's also learnt to write her name, recognise letters and she frequently talks about the books that the staff read to them. The food is nutritious and balanced, always having fresh fruit platters available when leaving at the end of the day. The management has made a difference and you can genuinely tell they care about the kids.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The building itself is great, it's a good size, nice open space, great access to the gardens as well as great security systems in place, it is also amazing that they have their own chef that makes the food on the premises.
Although there have been a few reasons that we find this nursery lacking - they
allow outdoor footwear to be worn and walked all around the baby room (crawling babies), I have also noticed on a few occasions that there isn't always a 3:1 ratio which I can understand being short staffed at times. We have also had serious issues with not being informed about viral outbreaks in the nursery, only being told a week later that there was an outbreak of hand, foot and mouth and chicken pox (my other half is extremely immunocompromised so this could have had serious results).
However there has been a couple of staff members that have been brilliant with our child, our child seems to really thrive in nursery when they are working.

I cannot recommend this nursey enough, I have a child with a disability that they all had to be trained to look after her... She was nonverbal when she started, she is now speaking more and more since starting here. All of the staff have gone above and beyond for my daughter and me to accommodate her.
I can never thank the staff here enough for what they have done for her and the exprience that a lot of other places denied my child. The staff and management are truly amazing.

I have to say I am more than over the moon with this nursery, I want to thank all the staff. My child is an active child and high in education development, the only thing was he wouldn't socialise with other children his age due to covid. Now my son has been here only 3 weeks and has overcome that,
he plays with all the children his age in and outside of nursery, and his speech has come on alot more as well (More Clear than before) he loves nursery and all the staff and children and gets so excited when you mention nursery, I want to say thank you to all staff for the amazing work and support you have given my child you should all be proud of yourself for all the great work. So if anyone is stuck on where to send your child then 100% this nursery all the way.

The nursery went above and beyond to help and support my little boy who was diagnosed with Autism. He attended Kids Allowed for 3 years. Specialist resources and equipment was provided to ensure he was getting the best support possible.


Amazing nursery with such lovely staff!

My son is so happy at the nursery. He loves his time there and has come on so much. He always talks about the staff members by name and has so much fun. They provide lots of fun days for them and he is always ready for a good sleep when he comes home. Can’t fault anyone one bit, highly recommend and
the staff are fantastic.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter joined the nursery during the lockdown in March, into the Toddlers room. The staff were all fantastic with her, you can see they really care about the individuality of the children they care for. Our daughter was always kept busy and engaged in activities, had the chance to play outside
a lot, and was so well looked after. She was clearly happy and comfortable at the nursery, and we were sad to leave. (Only due to a relocation, not because we were unhappy with the nursery). We are so lucky to have been able to expedite how great this nursery is.

My daughter has loved coming to nursery since starting in babies September 2019 through to toddlers now. We couldn’t be happier with the team who have all provided fantastic care, attention, learning and fun times to our daughter. I can’t fault MFT South, and would highly recommend their nursery.

A fantastic nursery. My 3-year-old attends and has thrived. Such a caring nursery and they do so much with the children. Food is a good variety and freshly cooked.
Learning appears structured but fun. All the staff know all the children really well and really good communication with parents. My little
boy loves attending. I feel secure sending him there as I know he is safe.

Love this nursery, all the ladies and gents are so lovely, always very welcoming with everyone. They make you feel at ease, and my child loves it there. I love how it is open plan, so you can see into all the rooms, also, they give the children a good variety of food, my son will eat anything and not
fussy at all.
Thank you for all that you do, keep up the good work. I couldn't recommend it more.

Kids Allowed always seem to be encouraging, creativity and educational for children, in fun and unique ways. Our little boy loves his time there and has even had full days of 9 hours in school with them and not been upset by it at all, loving his time spent with the team instead and happy to go back
the very next morning. The staff I have interacted with are enthusiastic and friendly.

The care my daughter receives is wonderful. The only suggestion I could make would be to consider an online way to feedback to parents, some nurseries have systems that mean parents can receive updates on their smartphones.

My daughter has attended the nursery for the last 3 years. The staff have helped her develop from a shy and quiet toddler into a confident and talkative little girl. I have found the staff to be polite, professional, kind and very helpful. My daughter will miss the nursery greatly, as will we when she
moves on to school in September.

We cannot thank KA MFT South enough for all they do for our son. He has learned so much and progresses each day. We are always in the loop with what he does each day and communication from the centre is excellent. He is always happy to arrive at nursery, and we struggle to tear him away. What a wonderful
place for our son to attend.

Current Review Score: 7.7 (7.652)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.7 (7.652) out of 10 for Kids Planet Wythenshawe is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 2 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 4.441 for Kids Planet Wythenshawe is calculated as follows: ( (21 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 34 Ratings = 4.441
  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 3.211 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Wythenshawe is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 116 number of registered child places is 23.2. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.2 = 0.086
  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.
