Review from K W (Mother of Child) published on 11 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter absolutely loves nursery. The staff are so friendly and can give In depth feedback on her and her day. She is always smiling getting dropped off and picked up and the updates we get really put my mind at ease. Management are really good and so lovely any questions and queries are sorted ASAP. Everybody is so welcoming. My daughter eats everything even vegetables (which she doesn't at home). I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Review from Waseem I (Father of Child) published on 11 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery is the best nursery in Altrincham . The location is excellent, parents can go shopping after dropping their children off, there is ample parking on the premises and in the surrounding area as well. In Altrincham, this nursery stands out for its unique approach to outdoor learning. Staff at the nursery have a deep understanding of children's needs and interests. It is always wonderful to see what they bring to the children which makes them curious to learn and also have a great time. It is amazing how much our little one enjoys the nursery food because he is usually so picky at home. Despite this, he eats everything in the nursery.The admin team are so warm and kind , always greet parents with a smile . The managers are amazing , higly recommending this nursery .

Kids Planet seemed a lively place, with good facilities and security systems. The staff seemed to work well with each other, and were really involved with the children. The children themselves seemed comfortable with them. The food was hygienic.

Overall Experience
The staff at Kids Planet have been very supportive with my children offering a safe and happy environment for them to develop and grow. Special thanks go to a particular lady in pre-school.

Toddler staff have been really supportive in helping my child settle in and you can notice the difference with confidence and speech after only a few months. Thanks.

Overall Experience

Great nursery and would definitely recommend it to anyone. My toddler comes back home very excited after every day and chats about things and activities that were done during the day. She bonded quite fast with the staff who are amazing as well. The variety of meals is great as well and happy to say that she eats it all every time. Very happy with this nursery.

Review from Lauren R (Mother of Child) published on 15 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been so so happy at this nursery. She settled in so well and has flourished since starting nursery.
All the staff are wonderful and go above and beyond for all the children who attend the nursery. They keep up to date with parents on the app as to what activities your child has done throughout the day as well as documenting meals and toilet trips. My daughter has attended lots of fun trips with the nursery which she has thoroughly enjoyed.

She will be leaving at the end of this term and we will both miss all the staff at the nursery. They've made her experience of nursery a truly positive one. Thank you to all the staff at Kids Planet Altrincham. You're all fantastic!

Review from Jen R (Mother of Child) published on 27 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This nursery is by far the best in the area. My children love coming here, from the amazing staff, daily activities, and events they regularly put on.
The staff are so lovely and helpful and both my children have made an amazing bond with all the staff and management.
Not just from the children's point of view but as a parent the staff have been so supportive for me too and always have time to chat and make sure we are all OK.
The food is always fresh and my kids enjoy it every day.

I would never send my children anywhere else after the experience I have had with Kids Planet Altrincham.

My son loves attending nursery, he has a good relationship with the staff and is happy and comfortable with them. The nursery serves a great collection of healthy food and snacks and the place is kept very clean.

Toys are a good variety and the outside areas are large and vast.

Review from Mashaal S (Mother of Child) published on 12 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child started with the nursery two months ago and just like every mother who frets and worries the first time you are separated from them I went through an awful wave of mum guilt. The nursery staff were so kind and considerate of this given they must go through it a lot. They have a wonderful chef and my little boy loves the variety of healthy food and snacks provided in the day. He enjoys the daily activities and has bonded with the staff well. If you are looking for a nursery I'd highly recommend booking a show around at Kids Planet!

Overall Experience
Kids Planet Altrincham have helped settle my little girl in amazingly considering she's never really been away from me or her nana she's so happy and content with all the girls and boys that work there, especially the toddlers and woddlers staff. I get continuous pictures and updates throughout the day which help put my mind at ease, not to add the meals that she has 2x of most times!

Couldn't recommend them enough.

Overall Experience
My son has been attending Kids Allowed Altrincham for the past 6 months and I can’t speak highly enough of the staff and the environment they create for all of the children there.

Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and even though leaving your child in someone else’s care can be tough, I trust them completely with the safety and well-being of my son. He always comes home happy, well fed and it’s clear that there are lots of development activities as he has come on so well since joining.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending since July 2023 and has already thrived so much and has picked up some new words. He did take some time to settle in, but the staff were so caring and attentive in helping him settle in, cuddling him and giving him lots of attention. I’m really happy with Kids Allowed, my son enjoys being there and the staff are friendly, warm and really care about each child.

Review from Nandini S (Mother of Child) published on 14 December 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been going to Kids Allowed Altrincham for 6 months now. I love every bit of it. Food is excellent, served fresh. They take all the care to help the kids cope and developed beautifully through engaging activities all day through. You can keep track of sleep, food and activities through their app. Kids Allowed gave him the best start possible and am very assured that it is the best in the area. Carers are amazing and very patient, communicate to you clearly. There are a lot of things which I can go on, like facility to swap days, book extra sessions as per your circumstances and even have your little one's hair cut done when it's been a nightmare for you to get it sorted! I would definitely recommend Kids Allowed Altrincham any day! Glad I did the research and to have found this gem!

Review from Geraldine G (Mother of Child) published on 1 December 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter started attending Kids Allowed Altrincham 3 weeks ago. The team were very welcoming from day 1 and offered settling sessions which helped us feel more comfortable with our baby being in strangers' hands for the first time in her life. The reception staff know her by her name and the carers in her room are providing a loving environment in which children seem to be enjoying being in.
We like the fact we are kept updated throughout the day on the different actions around her care, whether it be playtime, meals, naps or changing info. The app makes it easier for us to know what she has been up to and eventually helps us understand why she may feel a certain way when back home.

Thank you for everything so far.

All of the staff are so nurturing and supportive and they provide her with so much care, attention and positivity. I have always found the key workers to be very communicative and the admin team are so efficient.

I would highly recommend Kids Allowed Altrincham to anyone looking for a nursery in the area and I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful and happy environment for my daughter.

Katie-Marie Scanlon Job Title: Nursery Manager
Katie-Marie Scanlon

I have many years of experience in the early years sector, working across both schools and nurseries, and I hold a BA (Hons) degree in Early Years Leadership. Throughout my career, I have progressed through a range of roles, giving me valuable insight into supporting children’s learning, development, and well-being at every stage of their early years journey.

As Nursery Manager, my priority is to create a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment where every child feels valued, happy, and encouraged to reach their full potential. There is nothing more rewarding than watching children grow in confidence, develop meaningful relationships, and achieve important milestones during their time with us.

Building a strong sense of community is at the heart of my approach. I am passionate about fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment where children, families, and staff feel respected, connected, and supported, working together to provide the very best start in life for every child.
