Review from Nicole (Mother of Child) published on 5 March 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
What can I say, as a protective mum who was dubious about nursery, Kids Allowed TraffordCity has exceeded all my expectations. My Little Boy has come on so much just from two days a week in the baby room, every time I pick him up he’s sat playing with his friends having fun.
Everything from the pristine
condition of the nursery, to how much they focus on your child's development reeled me in initially, but its so much more than that. I can send him off knowing he'll be learning, having fun, eating wholesome meals and most importantly being well looked after. I love watching him through the 2-way mirror when I pick him up and reading all about his day. The whole team in the baby room are wonderful!
As much as I love time with him, Kids Allowed TraffordCity offers him all the creativity and development that I can’t quite do at home! I couldn’t recommend them enough if you’re looking for a place for your child to flourish!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have recommended this nursery to family and friends already. The teams on site are enthusiastic and trustworthy professionals who do what they say they will do. My son transferred from another nursery and has settled really quickly at Kids Allowed. He goes in with a smile and doesn't want to leave
the place! He has come on so much in such a short time due to the care and attention from all the staff there.
I would encourage anyone looking for a nursery to go and look around you will not be disappointed. From the management teams to the key workers in each room to the facilities staff - everyone is child focused and makes a huge effort to make you feel welcome and reassure you that this is the right place for your child. I couldn't think of him being anywhere else now and any future siblings will definitely be joining Kids Allowed. The site is like nothing I've ever seen. It's purpose-built and really is a real-world example of the attention to detail offered. I'm running out of space - go see it for yourself!
Reply from Lisa Brindley at Kids Planet Trafford CityWe are so happy that you are enjoying your Kids Allowed experience and we ensure to continue to support you as a family. We love caring for your little boy and love to see his smiley face of a morning. We really appreciate your feedback.

What can I say other than wow!
From our very first visit with our youngest, we have been so amazed by the level of care and welcoming atmosphere every step of the way. Our youngest has come on leaps and bounds since day one in a fantastic environment with amazing staff. It is the best nursery environment
we have experienced and we are so glad we chose Kids Allowed, keep up the amazing work you're fantastic.
The staff are so dedicated and eager to help, promoting his development and helping him so much with his walking. Thank you.

My son has attended Kids Allowed since he was 7 months old. He started at another branch and has recently moved over to TraffordCity. I cannot praise this nursery more. I have no complaints whatsoever. My son loves it there and is really progressing well especially with his speech and numbers.
Reply from Lisa Brindley at Kids Planet Trafford CityI am pleased that we have continued to provide a high quality care for you child. We love that he loves his new nursery and thoroughly enjoy caring for him and supporting his development.

The 1st day was amazing. The staff are welcoming, helpful and always willing to go above and beyond. My other child came to Kids Allowed and I would recommend this site to everyone.
The nursery is clean, well presented, amazing standards and comfortable to know my son is in amazing hands.

Myself and my daughter adore this nursery, her interests are always followed to aid her learning and the relationships she has not only with her key worker but with all the team are exceptional. Every room has its own garden space with lovely high-quality resources. The food always looks lovely and
my daughter always eats everything! I am also given lots of feedback at the end of each day informing me of all the amazing activities she has done. Overall a high-quality outstanding nursery.

Review from Maria M (Mother of Child) published on 19 October 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our 3 years old son joined Kids Allowed Trafford City in September 2018. He managed to settle very quickly and really loves his nursery. The staff are wonderful and genuinely enjoy and provide amazing care for the children. They are incredibly friendly, attentive and always so helpful. In addition,
at reception, they speak several languages what is very useful for my little one, as we speak Spanish at home.
Kids Allowed is a nurturing and happy environment where children are introduced to a wide range of activities. Our son particularly loves the toy building brick corner and the outside space.
They have a qualified Chef who prepares lovely, healthy and well-balanced meals. My son loves fruit and veggies and this is thanks to his nursery mealtime routines.
I feel confident leaving my son at the nursery knowing he is in good hands. I would definitely recommend the nursery! Great staff and management. This nursery has certainly a "from the heart" feel and we could not be happier to have sent our son to Kids Allowed.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.590)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.590) 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 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 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 4.814 for Kids Planet Trafford City is calculated as follows: ( (205 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 226 Ratings = 4.814
  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 4.776 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Trafford City is based on 18 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.95
    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. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.8 = 0.826
  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.
