Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having viewed other settings I chose kids planet trafford because the building and rooms felt light and open with easy access to outdoor space for all ages


Having been a customer of the nursery for around 9 months Im confident I made the right choice. There is regular outdoor play when possible and

the well thought out activities have encouraged so many new skills for my little one.


My child has a fantastic bond with not just thier key worker but most of the staff, including those not regularly in thier setting and this shows the staff whole heartedly care for the all of the children.

I can't rate Kids Planet Trafford City highly enough - I would like to give a compliment/thank you special reference to a particular staff member in Woddlers for her professionalism and support. Leaving Babies as another staff member had also been a big personality to leave moving rooms, fantastic support!
The particular staff member has gone above and beyond in her care efforts with my daughter. If there is a monthly award it should be her who receives this!

Hands down the best nursery. My little girl attended here for just over a year and honestly, every single staff member goes above and beyond for every child. The staff were always super friendly, I received lots of updates, and the food provided was always really well balanced, they even had a little
fruit platter on the way out at the end of the day which my daughter loved. I really felt that they had my daughter’s best interests at heart, and every activity is fully-centred around the child’s development. Definitely the best in Trafford and I can’t recommend them enough!

Modern, secure, great facilities, our daughter loves to go. The staff all very nice, friendly and qualified. Only downside, it is a bit expensive compared to others but everything provided, good flexibility great food etc. and I don’t mind paying staff more if they are looking after my child well.

Our daughter has been at the nursery for 8 months now and has been in two rooms - babies and toddlers. We have had a great experience to date and I have seen the staff go above and beyond to ensure my daughter's needs are met. My daughter runs in every morning with a smile on her face and then having
the daily updates confirms both her learning and enjoyment!

We have had an excellent experience with Kids Allowed to date. We cannot fault the staff; they are all so approachable, friendly and helpful. The communication through the app is excellent and we feel like we always have a good insight into what our daughter is up to during the day. We are really impressed
with the broad range of activities on offer each day and enjoy all the special events the nursery puts on for the children. They really have been amazing with my little girl who struggled with the separation at first and we can’t thank them enough.

My son has attended this nursery since he was 9 months old and is now in his last year before starting school. All I can say is the team there are absolutely fantastic and have gone above and beyond with my son to ensure he has the best time there. He has made great relationships with all of his careers
and is doing amazing. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking. The building itself and facilities are great, lots of indoor and outdoor space.

Amazing staff! They are so welcoming and go above and beyond to help my little one settle in. We have seen so much development in our little one since starting back in September. That’s all thanks to the amazing ladies in the room.
They keep me updated throughout the day on what he is up to and what
he has eaten. Communication is excellent!
I 100% recommend Kids Allowed Trafford, my little one is happy and we are too.

We have had a very positive experience at KA since our daughter started in April 2023. The staff are always there to listen, they are friendly, and our daughter enjoys her days engaging in the different activities the staff put on. Staff regularly update the app so we know how our daughter's day is
going, and they give us a full update when we pick her up. Her confidence has grown since starting, and she always seems to be happy there. We are very satisfied so far.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have 5 children the eldest being 23 so I've used different childcare providers. Out of all these, I would recommend Kids Allowed Trafford City. My son 5 and my daughter 2, go to this nursery. It’s clean, it’s friendly, welcoming and well-stocked with learning resources, my children actually enjoy
going. We have regular app updates during the day with photos and information on their activities and any key information or nursery updates. The food is varied and they even make sure that the three meals they give the children have five portions of fruit and vegetables a day and a fruit platter at reception on leaving. Plus the nursery is all-inclusive which includes milk and nappies etc so that’s an added bonus. You can come straight into the building at any time as they have an intercom with face recognition for parents who pick up only, so there is no waiting at the door in the cold and wet to be let in. The nursery is also secure with added locks to all doors. The staff make this the best nursery around by far.

We have had two children come here, and both absolutely love it. The eldest went from age 1 through to starting school and absolutely loved it. The staff are always helpful, caring and informative. Our issues are always taken care of, and they’ll always try to accommodate your wishes. We are so pleased

Review from Lauren R (Mother of Child) published on 5 December 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending since she was 10 months. We visited a lot of nurseries, but Kids Allowed ticked all the boxes. When you’re at work, you can view updates of your child’s day - their meals, nappies, activities and most importantly photos!
Leaving your child is one of the hardest things,
but the updates put your mind at ease and are so nice to view when at work.
My daughter has moved through the baby room, toddler room and is now coming to the end of her time in the toddler room. She had some speech delay but the SENCO was so supportive completing a WELLCOMM assessment and providing in depth activities and steps moving forwards.
The nursery are now planning more activities to invite parents/carers in which is lovely too.
A lovely homely nursery, welcoming and lovely. Highly recommend!

We’ve seen so much development since she’s been going and the number of different activities they do each day is great. All the equipment, toys etc.
are in great condition and it’s always clean. Would recommend to anyone!

Since my son has started in April 23 I have always felt reassured that he is cared and looked after in the most caring and professional way. The ladies in the baby room have always shown love and attention to my boy and every day has been easy to leave him in the hands of them in there. From the activities
he gets up to, seeing the moments we get daily, the full tummy of amazing food from the chef he has, everyone goes above and beyond. Nothing is too much of an ask.

My daughter went to this nursery from 1 years old and left in August to start school just before turning 5. So four years including COVID times. Care by the staff was excellent. She loved going and still talks about it now 3 months after leaving. She enjoyed all the many activities and learnt loads.
Management are fab. She enjoyed all the food. We miss our little nursey community.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.692)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.692) out of 10 for Kids Planet Trafford City is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 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 4.958 for Kids Planet Trafford City is calculated as follows: ( (184 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.958
  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 4.734 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Trafford City is based on 16 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 109 number of registered child places is 21.8. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.8 = 0.734
  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.
