Kids planet is a great place to give children a great start as they prepare children for school. The best thing about this place is that staff including management always ready to listen validated concerns from parents with prompt responses. All in all a great place for children.

My 2 little boys go here and they love it. I could not be happier with the care and support they receive, all the staff are lovely. My eldest will be sad to leave in September.

My son has attended kids Allowed since being 14mths old and I can say he has loved every minute of it. When he started in woddlers he struggled with being away from me but the team were amazing and aswel as settling my little boy extremely well they made sure i was reassured throughout. My son has recently gone to school and I was extremely proud at his first parents evening when they said how school ready he was and I can say kids Allowed had a huge part to play in making this happen. Would highly recommend to any parent wanting the best possible start for their child.

Dramatic safety issues and tbh not the best childcare for your money. Wouldn't recommend to anyone. Don't be fooled by the tour round because it won't be the same when your child is left there alone. Friendly heads up
