A nursery has been hailed as ‘outstanding’ after a watchdog found children were thriving thanks to its ‘consistently high’ level of care and education. Kids Allowed provides daycare for more than 350 children - from babies to 10-year-olds - from its base at Cheadle Royal Business Park, in Stockport.
Ofsted inspectors were hugely impressed when they visited the play group for the first time since it opened in May 2020. They rated it as ‘outstanding’ - the highest possible award - noting that youngsters are ‘highly engaged in play, with exceptionally positive attitudes to learning’.
“Children make rapid progress in their learning and development,” a new report adds. "They are very well supported by staff who have an exceptional knowledge of their developmental stages.”

Youngsters are also said to be ‘enthusiastic to learn more’ and encouraged by staff who have high expectations of them. “Children thrive in the setting, demonstrating their emotional security, established through secure attachments and nurturing relationships with kind and caring staff,” inspectors noted.
“For example, staff are observant and notice which children are not joining in activities. They then give them a bit of extra encouragement, which supports them to participate.”
