Review from Daniella W (Mother of Child) published on 11 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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!

Overall Experience
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.

Review from Mary S (Mother of Child) published on 22 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Lisa Brindley, at Kids Planet Trafford City

Thank you so much for your feedback, we are delighted you are enjoying your Kids Allowed experience. That is fantastic news your daughter will now sit in her car seat with the support from the team and it has helped yourself with ideas to support her.

The nursery is extremely well run with good communication between staff and parents. The staff in the rooms really care about the children and are loving and fun while teaching them more than I’d expect for their age group. Overall a really great nursery.

Review from Stephanie M (Mother of Child) published on 15 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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
Overall Experience
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.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Charly K (Mother of Child) published on 9 December 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

Review from Jane C (Mother of Child) published on 25 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

Review from Alyssa B (Mother of Child) published on 8 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Stephanie L (Mother of Child) published on 26 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been going to Kids Allowed Trafford City since January this year and she has learnt so much in the time she has been there. They have bent over backwards to help with all aspects of her learning and development. From circle time to trips out (covid allowing) they always incorporate the fun factor to learning and my little girl just loves it. The food she has is so nutritious and all within the cost.
The online update system has been a fantastic addition to allow me to see updates of how my girl is throughout the day so we can have a chat about her day before bed without having to remember where I put the report sheet.

All in all it is a fantastic nursery and I would recommend it to all parents.

Our daughter started at Kids Allowed in August and we cannot tell you how happy we are with the service and care provided. Our baby girl absolutely loves going and reaches for her nursery bag if she spots it and heads towards the front door to go! We are impressed with the parent app for regular updates and photos we receive and we can see how much our daughters confidence has come on in just a matter of months.

Review from Becky (Mother of Child) published on 26 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our little boy has been attending Kids Allowed nurseries since he was 9 months old. I can safely say that he loves every minute that he spends in nursery, and we are blown away on a regular basis as to how much he is learning when he is there despite only being 2 and a half. Every activity is well thought out. The nursery and staff have supported us through a very tough 2020, making sure that as keyworkers we were able to continue to work and felt safe and confident in leaving our son with them.
We love the way the nursery communicate with us, and the amount of information they give us about his day is brilliant. Our little boy is learning to make solid friendships and relationships thanks to nursery and is turning into a confident and inquisitive little boy.

From the reception staff to the manager, everyone is friendly and approachable, and above all so helpful. We would not dream of sending our little boy anywhere else until he starts school.
