We have had two children at Nelly's and really rate the staff and the level of care. My daughter is currently in the baby room and she is so happy to go to nursery she runs in the door in the mornings barely looking back! She has really bonded with all the staff in her room who are all brilliant at
their jobs, and it's lovely to see how much they all care. The rooms are really big and spacious, as well as having a large communal hall and free flow garden, and she is very happy at the end of the day when I collect her.

An excellent facility with lots of activities for children, great play area for curious minds to enjoy and very good outdoor space. The staff are fantastic and I have been so impressed with the level of care and attention provided to my daughter. My daughter started the nursery from 9 months and the
Nelly's settling-in period is a great opportunity for both carers and children to gradually adjust to the change. After some initial tears on settling in, my daughter absolutely loves the nursery, she looks forward to it and I have seen a great leap in her verbal development and other skills such as feeding herself. The nursery were also particularly helpful and proactive during the lockdown measures following the pandemic and very informative in the steps to mitigate risks. The only suggestion for a change would be more options for meals (although the menu is very healthy).

What I like about Nelly's Nursery - Rosendale is the space is a bit free-form, the warmth of the old church and high ceilings, the creativity of the toys, the big hall, the way the rooms connect, it really feels like an environment geared around play and exploration. Both my daughter's keyworkers have
been excellent - she absolutely loves them. The best part is she runs in without even saying goodbye to me. Really great for socialization with older children as well.

My elder daughter attended this nursery before my younger daughter who is there currently, and I have been very happy with the provision over the years. The staff here hold themselves to very high standards, and will always look at ways in which to improve the nursery, for example from changes to the
layout through to improving the menu, which I have seen over the time my daughters have attended. Both my daughters formed extremely secure attachments to their key workers and other staff in the nursery, and I can rest assured that they have been happy, safe and very well cared for. During the pandemic, I continued to use the hub nursery, which brought together staff from other branches too, and the provision of care under what must have been very stressful circumstances for those still working was excellent. I will be very sad to finally say goodbye to this nursery one year from now, and I would recommend it very highly to anyone considering it as an option for their child.

I was recommended by a family friend. I was impressed with this setting and how they treat the children.
This setting is very good all year round, doing different themes (Christmas, Easter etc). I love the fact that they do this and keep children active and interested.

The nursery has really nice activities for the children. The teachers are really nice with my daughter, they take care of her, she loves them. My daughter enjoys coming to nursery a lot. She is doing great and she is growing all of her skills. I am really happy with the nursery, the managers and the
teachers. They have the perfect space for the children.

Review from Caitriona C (Mother of Child) published on 28 March 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My toddler joined Nelly's Nursery - Rosendale Road from another nursery a few months ago and the transition was significantly easier than I anticipated. His key person organised a series of settling-in sessions, which introduced him gradually to everything. And when he officially started and I was picking
him up in the evenings, I was struck by how high his spirits were.


The nursery space itself is very big, which I think is brilliant for children with lots of energy. And there are a lot of different things for the children to do, precisely because the space is so big. My little boy likes to draw and paint and that is available to him every morning when he arrives, which he loves. And the staff are really imaginative in what they encourage him to create.


I would also make mention of the menu, which is more wholesome than I was used to. And I like the feedback sheet at the end of the day. Finally, his key- and co-key people are particularly warm and caring and I feel lucky he has them.

We chose this nursery because we liked the facilities. Unfortunately, it was not an environment that suited our little boy. At age 2, he began as one of the youngest children in the huge area for 2 upwards. he was extremely anxious and took 10 months to settle (even then, he really did not want to attend).
It was only after 6 months of his unhappiness that staff began to make a bit of an effort - too little too late. Despite some individual efforts, this nursery focuses on forms and procedures and not the children.

Very happy with the staff in my child's room. THey're very informative on his day and constantly make us all feel welcomed when on the premises.
He has quite complex dietary requirements and all staff are reassuring about the food cooked daily and his contact with it.

We couldn’t be happier with the care for our daughter who is currently in the baby room. The staff are kind and our daughter has a lot of fun with them. They were so supportive during her settling in phase and always know how to look after her if she’s upset.

Our daughter started in the baby room recently and she is already thriving. We are really impressed with the size and variety of activities in the baby room - our daughter is there full time and most nursery baby rooms I visited were tiny and I dreaded leaving her for 35 hours a week between those four
walls. The staff and management were very good in the settling in period, understanding what she needed to make it comfortable for her, so our daughter quickly adjusted, more quickly than we expected to be honest. When we pick her up she has always learned new things and is in great spirits. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a place where their children will thrive.

Leaving your child in care is a daunting process, however, the staff at Nelly’s have been extremely accommodating and have made it an easy and smooth process. Our son has now been at the nursery for close to a year and absolutely loves it. The staff are warm, engaging and on top of your child’s development
plan. I am amazed by how many new skills he comes home with on a daily basis. The facilities are great with lots of varied activities for the kids. While the outdoor space isn’t huge, they have done a great job in maximising the space as much as possible.

Our son has been going to Nelly's baby room for over 6 months now. He really enjoys being at the nursery and we are very satisfied with the level of care and attention provided to him. The staff are always very friendly and happy to chat to us about his day at pick up. The facilities and food are excellent.
In addition, the nursery hours are fantastic for working parents commuting to central London.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.845)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.845) out of 10 for Partou Rosendale Road Day Nursery & Pre-School 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.845 for Partou Rosendale Road Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (123 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.845
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Rosendale Road Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 12 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 59 number of registered child places is 11.8, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
