My son started this nursery in September and I can already see a massive improvement. He has some additional needs and the deputy manager, nursery manager, toddler room leader and all of the staff are amazingly supportive. Can't thank them enough!

Kids Allowed Trafford City has been excellent - helped with the development of my child. My child is a confident child, and Kids allowed played a big role in that. My child will miss all the staff and will always remember them all with great fondness.
Thank you for everything, both the parents and
my child will miss everyone!
Thanks again.

My little girl has attended this nursery since she was 6 months old and we knew from day 1 that she was in safe hands.
Watching her grow and develop here, under the guidance and support of all the staff, has been wonderful. She has learnt so much and has really developed at such a fast pace.
This
nursery has a very friendly environment and one that feels like a family.

We have been really pleased with the level of care and support the nursery has given our son so far.
From the settling-in days to the transition to a new room, the staff have been friendly and welcoming. We absolutely love the updates via the app and all the activities used to keep developing his
skills.
As my son goes term time only, some days can be difficult (during drop off) but the team are so comforting and understanding. We really do feel comfortable dropping our son, knowing he is in such good care and being looked after. He is always learning via play and has seasonal activities, that we receive pictures of!
They are very accommodating if we need to change days or add days - highly recommend!

The staff are amazing. They are super friendly and helpful. My kid has a speech delay problem and the nursery has been showing full support to her. They have helped me with the referral to speech therapy and working closely with SENA. Now my kid has already shown a big improvement in her speech development,

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This has been a fantastic nursery for my two daughters. The staff are brilliant with them and they have really creative ideas for learning through play. They're also very responsive to any issues that we've had with the children and they provide support by addressing those issues during circle time
or through activities. For example, my youngest daughter has recently been unclipping her car seat and the staff devised a road safety awareness activity for the children to understand and practice how to be safe in the car. This was then reinforced through regular chats with staff and staying in the car seat was rewarded with stickers. This has been so successful that she now has a car seat for her doll and she's very strict about the straps being in place! I'm so grateful to the staff for this because it's made car journeys so much safer.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Fantastic nursery! The only reason I have not provided it with a 5 out of 5 stars is purely just because it was not convenient for us to go there as we only have 1 car, and work commitments mean we needed a nursery within walkable distance. The staff and especially our child's key worker were brilliant,
they are so personable and personal, they took fantastic care of our little one for the 6 weeks we were with them. We love how quickly our little one settled in at nursery and he really loved the staff there, we know he will miss his key worker very much. The app is really brilliant, it makes such a difference when we are missing our little baby while working and can see the updates. It really helps to see how he is doing during the day as the updates are done periodically throughout the day. You can see everything from nappy changes, to cream being put on as my child has eczema, the trips and wonderful photographs and meal time updates. Messy play is amazing! I could say more!

Review from Charlotte L (Mother of Child) published on 23 February 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little girl started in the baby room when she was 7 months old. Initially, I was nervous as she was so young but was put at ease almost immediately. The staff in there have built fantastic relationships with her and we are in awe of how quickly she has come on. At 11 months, she is confidently walking
and has come on leaps and bounds in lots of other ways. They have settled her in so quickly and is now in a firm routine with them, much of which we reflect at home too. She just loves going in every day!
We love how you only have to take a spare change of clothes as everything else is included in the cost. As two full-time working parents, this is such a convenience. In addition, their app updates are so warming to read whilst at work - you can see everything about the day, from nappy changes to their mealtimes, to all the activities they get up to. We cannot recommend them enough - best money we’ve ever spent.

My daughter has been going to Kids Allowed Trafford City since October 2021 and she has learnt so much in the time she has been there. I’m extremely happy with the care and development that my daughter has received from Woddlers, especially from her key worker who is fantastic. I believe my daughter's
keyworker has gone above and beyond to make our daughter's, and our's as parents, experience just that little bit easier with her settling in. The app is great with keeping us up to date with what she is up to during the day, it’s really reassuring and nice to see when you’re at work.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter is 16 months old and has been attending this nursery since she was 9 months old. The staff here are absolutely amazing, they are so approachable and kind, I can tell each one of them loves the children they look after! There is nothing I'm not informed around any situation with my daughter,
not only does she love attending here, as it's proven when she runs with open arms into her room or to staff, but she has developed so much since attending! The rooms are perfect for our little people and nobody can believe the detail the parent's app gives parents to inform them of how their little one has been throughout the day. I couldn't fault this nursery or its staff members and this will definitely be my first choice for any other children I may have, I also recommend to all my family and friends!


Thank you for putting me at ease Kids Allowed, knowing my daughter is very well looked after whenever she is in your care!

Our daughter loves attending this nursery and is able to learn and play at her own pace. The staff are extremely friendly while remaining professional at all times and they know our daughter really well. Communication is really good and the meals provided by the in-house chef are excellent. The rooms
are set up for independent play as well as some structured activities that provide the children with a good balance of learning through play. There are good outside spaces with plenty of equipment, although they are limited because of the location. Before lockdown restrictions, the children regularly visited green spaces and went on trips locally and further afield. The staff have adapted and responded really well to the restrictions recently. I would definitely recommend this nursery as we have been extremely happy with the care and provision provided for our daughter and she loves going in each day!

I cannot fault this nursery, it fulfils every child’s needs that cannot be provided at home. Recently they moved to a phone app which tells parents what exactly their child is doing with photos, what they eat for the day and toilet routines. Staff are friendly and helpful, especially if you need to
change the child’s day or add an extra day. My daughter has progressed with her speech, interests in different things, and most of all, her development in all stages. Highly recommend.

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.
