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.

This is so lovely to read and I am so proud of the whole team for ensuring they have made you feel so happy for a new mummy starting nursery life.

Overall Experience
My daughter been attending Kids Allowed Altrincham Nursery for over a year now and she is so happy there, it feels like a second home to her. 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.

Review from S A (Mother of Child) published on 18 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been here since he was 12 months old and he loves it. The staff are very focused, motivated, kind and have always made a huge effort to treat my son as an individual. They know him so well and are always readily on hand for support or advice. The building has impressed me as it has clearly been designed with children and their needs in mind. I like the security required to enter as I know my child is safe. The app is very good - it's great to be able to see what my child is up to during the day. I would very much recommend Kids Allowed in Altrincham.

Reply from Nic Cornford, at Kids Planet Altrincham

Thank you for your review. We have loved seeing him grow and develop into the character he is.

Review from L M (Mother of Child) published on 18 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our child currently attends this nursery and has done for a number of years, and so did our elder child who is now in Year 2 at a local nearby primary school in Altrincham.
Kids Allowed, Altrincham are excellent in every way. Prior to our eldest starting at Kids Allowed, he attended a few other nurseries, mainly due to us living in different parts of the UK. Kids Allowed Altrincham is by far the best nursery. They are head and shoulders above the rest, and that is taking nothing away from the other nurseries we experienced first-hand, who were all excellent too.

Our eldest left Kids Allowed Altrincham in 2020 to start school, but we are still continuing to find them excellent now with our 2nd child. He loves the place and so do we. The staff make Kids Allowed - all of them.

Review from Rebecca B (Mother of Child) published on 8 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We are so happy at Kids Allowed. Our eldest started with them in babies and just graduated from prep this summer. She is a happy, well-rounded child, very sociable with a healthy appetite for learning (and chef's cooking!). She has made a confident start at school. Our youngest is just settling into babies now. Pleased to see familiar faces in the room, who were fantastic with our eldest at the start. The care provision is outstanding with endless resources to help nurture children and support their development in the early years framework. The Kids Allowed set-up, makes life so easy for us as two full-time working parents; all-inclusive fees, flexible approach to day swapping and even ample parking. Kids Allowed have a reassuringly professional approach to childcare, with purpose-built facilities, excellent management and a strong focus on developing their staff, whilst at the same time the Altrincham centre feels like a second home, so welcoming and friendly are the staff, it feels like one big family.

Overall Experience
What an excellent nursery. All of the staff really get to know your child as an individual. The nursery is more like a second home than somewhere to take your children while you go to work. Even staff who don't work directly with my son know who he is and say hello.

My son loves going to nursery and he has the best time every day! I would highly recommend this nursery, I feel 100% confident that my son's best interests are the top priority.

Reply from Nicola Cornford, at Kids Planet Altrincham

Thank you for your kind words, we love the fact he explores everything and loves his time with us.

Review from C F (Mother of Child) published on 8 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has been at Kids Allowed since June 2021 and has absolutely thrived in their care. The room staff and management are wonderful, they know each and every child so well and our son is so excited every day to go to nursery to see them and his friends. The quality of learning is excellent and has always felt tailored to his needs and interests.
Communication between nursery and home is also very good, and they have always acted on any feedback or thoughts we have had (these have been very few!).
The food provision is second to none - such huge variety and of high quality. We always say our son eats better than we do! He always talks about what he's eaten that day with such enthusiasm.

I would not hesitate to recommend Kids Allowed to anybody looking for a warm, welcoming nursery environment for their child.

Review from Frank B (Father of Child) published on 11 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Couldn't recommend higher. The staff are superb and hugely invested in the childrens progress and happiness. Before Kids Allowed I used to think that nurseries were just a place that children could attend to allow parents to go to work but that's simply not true. Our daughter has learned so much and benefitted hugely from attending. She has progressed hugely both in educational and social areas. Special thanks to the manager and the team for everything!

Reply from Nicola Cornford, at Kids Planet Altrincham

Thanks for these lovely words. She has developed into such a lovely little girl who was ready for the challenge of school.

Overall Experience

We had a great experience overall after the transfer from another branch. My daughter settled straight away and loves to interact with all staff and kids. Special thanks to one member of staff, in particular, she has been brilliant, so kind and welcoming to all kids. She has come across with such a pleasant nature. My daughter enjoys every bit in the nursery. She made some really nice friends, which she will miss when she moves to her new school. Thanks a lot to all the staff who are looking after our daughter so well.

Reply from Nicola Cornford, at Kids Planet Altrincham

Thank you for your kind words. Friendships are such an important part of nursery life and she made some lovely ones ready to prepare her for school.

Review from Simon B (Father of Child) published on 23 November 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at Kids Allowed Altrincham for three years moving through babies, to woddlers, toddlers and now in prep school. The staff are exceptionally well trained, warm and caring. You get the feeling of how much they care for all of the children, with such a personal approach we have always felt our daughter is in the best care. The leadership is impeccable, with the centre manager always available to answer questions, provide guidance and lovely conversations. The purpose-built facilities are second to none including the extremely secure fingerprint entry system. The app provided is brilliant at not only updating us with our daughter's activities during the day but providing a two-way communication route. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kids Allowed Altrincham to any parent.

Review from Abi (Mother of Child) published on 28 September 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I could not rate this nursery higher. My son just recently started big school so had to leave and my daughter has just moved up to the Toddler room. I’m considering having more children just so that they can go to this nursery! Probably not, but my son has additional needs including a significant speech delay and sensory issues. He was completely failed by his previous nursery. Choosing this place (Kids Allowed Altrincham) was the best decision I could’ve made. They were proactive, had a genuine interest in him reaching his potential, and accommodated him in every way possible. From the people who worked with him on a 1:1 basis to the management and room teams, to the lovely chef and even parent-facing staff like receptionists, all had his enjoyment and his overall best interest at heart and that made the biggest difference. My daughter greets her lovely room staff with more enthusiasm than she greets me and that makes me feel so comfortable in leaving one of my most precious belongings in their care.

Ah what lovely comments to read, so thank you! We have loved having both children grow and develop with us and am glad we continue to do so.

Kids allowed Altrincham has been an outstanding nursery providing the best education, care and support we could have wished for. The staff go out of their way to take care of our children and put your mind at rest - nothing is too much trouble. Our little boy spent 3 happy years at Kids Allowed and adored all the staff who created special bonds with him - he talks about them all! Our little one has thrived in an atmosphere that was warm, safe, happy and nurturing. We cannot thank the team enough and can honestly say choosing Kids Allowed was the best decision we made for our little boy. Thank you.

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

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.
