My daughter started at the nursery relatively recently and has settled in well and loves her key person.
There are always loads of interesting activities set up both inside and outside and they have a lovely big hall to use as well as the main playroom. My daughter comes home happy and calm every
evening. Very pleased so far.

Our daughter has been attending Nelly's since she was 10 months old and they have had a huge influence in helping her to become the lively, enthusiastic nearly 3 year old she is today. She loves the place and the staff and I would happily recommend it to other parents.

Our daughter had a very happy year here.
The good:
Staff are extremely attentive and loving. She developed close relationships with the staff. We were always confident her happiness was a priority and she was being really well cared for. Plenty of cuddles and lots of attention from the staff in the
baby room. She enjoyed the food and our feedback was taken on board. There is a huge hall they have access to in the day for LOADS of space to run around. The deputy manager who helps to run the nursery is excellent and another member of staff was also great and our daughter loved them both.
Less good:
Outside space - fine for when they are small but less so when they are bigger. Menu was heavy in sweet and sugary food but they accommodated our preferences and then adjusted their menu. Turnover of staff high whilst we were there which was a shame as we loved them all. We haven’t been impressed with either manager who has been there over the past year. Main room feels too chaotic for the smaller children.

Our son has been at Nelly's Rosendale for just under a year now and it's safe to say that he's enjoyed every second of it. Throughout this time he has developed at an extraordinary rate which in no small terms is down to the skill, knowledge and fantastic care provided by the wonderful staff. The nursery
is both warm and welcoming and a pleasure to take our son to.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at Nelly's in March, this coincided with a new nursery manager being put into place. The nursery is wonderful, the staff are calm and nurturing, the play is exploratory and creative, using a lot of natural materials and gets away from brash plastic toys. Each child has a key worker and
as a parent, you are supplied with a monthly review of what your child has been doing and suggestions on things you can continue to work on at home. There is excellent information provided about what they have done and eaten each day, and a weekly newsletter to summarise the activities that have taken place over the week.


The main thing for me is that my son is clearly so happy there and we have seen a lovely development in his personality and strengths as he matures.

Nelly’s is a fantastic nursery, my son loves his time there and has developed in every aspect of his life! It really is his home from home!
Our key worker is excellent and all the other staff are very friendly and accommodating. There have been subtle but good changes recently, the online portal is
yet to be up and running, but the lending library and changes to activity areas have been interesting to observe.
The food menu has seen changes too and is popular with my son. Fruit and water are encouraged throughout the day!
The only downside that we’ve observed is that staff sickness appears quite high, although the replacement agency staff are very engaging, and this doesn’t seem to affect the children’s happiness.

Our daughter's key worker is fantastic and our daughter loves seeing her and always seems very happy to be left at nursery. There is a good array of different activities set out every morning - in particular, the messy play.
Nelly's Nursery - Rosendale Road has a fantastic indoor hall for extra space
and is a great size in the baby room and toddler room too. It definitely feels like a safe and secure environment. Our key worker also picks up on important development stages and milestones in our daughter's life and celebrates them with her.

We have only been at the nursery for two months but so far we have been very impressed by the welcoming, caring and professional staff. The settling in process was very clearly communicated to us and during the actual settling in days they were extremely clear in explaining their policies, caring about
our son and so made the process so much more bearable for us.My son loves it there and having come from a different nursery environment I cannot praise Nelly's enough - I have finally got full trust again in the practitioners looking after my son.

Nelly's Rosendale Road is a fantastic nursery with warm, energetic and loving staff. Our daughter has been there for 1 year, joining at the age of two and couldn't be happier. She has made lots of friends and developed close bonds with the key workers. We particularly like the vast space of the two
main rooms as well as the opportunity to play outside. We also like the structure of the play that is offered and the variety including French lessons! We feel she is really benefitting from her time there and developing as she approaches time for 'big school'.


We have recently also sent our baby son there and he has really settled in over the past two months. The staff in the baby room are so gentle and loving towards him and the space itself feels a safe place for him, whilst the occasional joint activities with the older children, we feel are good for his development. It also allows our eldest to pop in and visit him as and when she likes which is great for their bond.

This is a wonderful nursery where our son has been very happy for over three years. The staff at Nelly's are amazing. They are caring, creative in organising a diverse range of activities to encourage children to explore the world and accommodate each individual child's own personality and needs. Our
son has many different allergies and the nursery has been extremely helpful in accommodating his condition. The staff are always very attentive to early signs of the onset of an allergic reaction. They help us find foods and arts and crafts material our son can use and generally manage to make him feel included in celebrations and activities despite his allergies.

My son has been at Nelly's for almost a year now and he could not be happier. The time and dedication they put into making sure he is happy, looked after and learning is amazing. I really enjoyed the nursery outing which was a lot of fun and really nice to get to know other parents and staff. They have
been exceptionally helpful with us arranging for nannies and family to do pick ups when needed and have also been very accommodating on the odd day we needed to put him in to nursery on top of our regular days. He is a big lover of being outdoors and there is great outdoor space which he loves playing in and it is great to see him outside enjoying it when we come to pick him up a lot of the time. We have regular contact with his key worker who knows him very well and has a great bond, allowing us to get regular, informal and more formal updates on his progress. It's really nice to have somewhere where we know he is being well looked after and having a lot of fun with his friends, thank you!

My daughter has been at this nursery for nearly 2 years, from when she was 11 months. She’s very happy and settled there. The staff have always taken a keen interest in getting to know her and giving her opportunities to discover and develop her interests. I particularly like the positive ethos and
it’s lovely to see how kind and caring the children are towards each other, fostered by an atmosphere of gentle care from the staff. I’d certainly recommend this nursery.

I chose this nursery because of its outstanding reputation, because they had a clearly separated area for babies to sleep, in their own cots (when full time) and the staff were obviously professionally prepared to care for small babies. I also liked the way that each space flows into the other, outside
and inside and that the little ones get to experience mixing with the older children at some times of the day. My daughter has been there from the age of 6 months and has had a very nurturing and happy experience in the baby room. The nursery is very accommodating with details specific for each baby, such as bottle type and formula type preferred and the food menu is good and varied, with a 6-week rotating menu frequently including hot food at tea time and with a morning and evening snack. Although the outside space at this branch is limited, it is sufficient and the children spend a good amount of time there.

Such a fantastic nursery, I could not praise it more. Our experience has been entirely positive since starting almost a year ago and I feel that our son has been introduced to a huge range of activities that have helped to develop him as a person. We receive daily updates on his activities, food eaten
(which is a really good standard) and any concerns if applicable. The relationship between both us as parents and the nursery workers is amazing with 1:1 meetings as well as written communication. The relationship that he has with the staff, the most important element, is said by him excited to go to nursery, running up and showing true affection.
The space and facilities is what sold us, providing him with freedom and stimulation whilst also encouraging his understanding on what is right or wrong.
I particularly love the fact that they leave the nursery to go to nearby parks and arrange outings and provide celebrations that involve the parents at poignant parts of the year.

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.
