Friendly and happy staff. Immediately created a bond with my three-year-old daughter and made her feel comfortable and safe. Lots of interesting activities for the kids to do throughout the day - crafts, painting, cooking, sandpit, water etc and all of the other kids also look very happy while there
too. I've picked my daughter up various times and at short notice throughout the day and she is always playing and enjoying herself and never upset or looking bored. The staff very accommodating and flexible - always happy to answer questions and share updates on how our daughter's day has gone.

Excellent placement. My baby is gradually growing into a contented, happy, appreciative confident, respectful and assertive little girl.
At this point in her life, social skills are crucial, and l can see the footprints as the days go by.
The nursery is quite a distance from me. But l am pleased that
l choose to do the miles.
Great team effort, please keep it up.

Highly recommend Nelly's Nursery - Turney Road. The care is over and above and I feel my son is in a very safe environment when I leave. The staff are attentive and my son adores them. He now runs to the door and can't wait to get in. He eats really well and learnt from nursery to eat a variety of food.
You have daily reports and photos provided of developments. Thank you Nelly's Nursery for your excellent care.

What a wonderful nursery and set of employees. Our second small human is there at the moment (with our first having been there for the best part of 2 years). They are genuinely friendly, kind and caring. We struggled to find a nursery that felt warm and welcoming for our children, given many others
in the area charged similar amounts but had an air of not caring or annoyance at the kids to be around (some not even paying attention. Whether your small human is upstairs or downstairs, the staff constantly engage the children. They eat proper, balanced and varied meals (not just pasta and parmesan every day). There's a genuine concern for their wellbeing (physical and mental), and that comes across at all times and is evident in our interactions with the staff. What's also fantastic is the opening times; from our research, they are one of the earliest to open (7.30 am) and one of the last to close (6 pm), which is fantastic. All in all, it's a marvelous nursery.

Our daughter joined Nelly's Nursery - Turney Road in January 2021 and we couldn't be more pleased with our choice of nursery.

This is a lovely well run nursery, the staff are very warm and interested in the children, their likes, dislikes and individual personalities. Communication is good, given the current covid situation, with a daily diary, regular photos/observations and phone conversations about anything where necessary.
My two year old started part time in October 2020, settled very quickly and is now full time and he runs in through the gate each day happily. The garden area is very well equiped, and my son likes to play there as much as possible. They seem to have a good range of activities, which are always changing, as well as (importantly) allowing for free play.

Our daughter moved to this nursery in January from another provider. She has settled in very quickly in one week and really enjoys her time there. We have noticed a big difference in her language and imaginative play since starting. The staff appear to be doing an excellent job in a tough time for us
all.

Our daughter now aged 8 months, started ar Nelly's in January. I was very apprehensive as she's never been to any childcare setting before but she seems to really enjoy it and we are very happy with it. We get sent lots of lovely photo's of what the children have been doing, she happily goes to her
key worker in the mornings and she chats excitedly about nursery on her days at home. We feel she is very safe and well cared for and making lots of friends.

Our daughter started at Nelly's Turney Road in November 2020, when she was on the cusp of turning 2. To minimise the numbers of changes in our daughter's life she was placed straight into the 2-4-year-old room which she loves and which has been so stimulating for her. The changes in development, learning
and confidence have been staggering and we are very happy with our choice of nursery. The staff are excellent, caring, considerate and endlessly creative in their offerings of activities. We would highly recommend Nelly's Turney to other families.

I looked around many nurseries before choosing Nelly's Turney Road. The reason I choose Nelly's is the staff are incredibly caring, full of energy and have a real enjoyment in looking after the children. I have two children who have attended this nursery and they have both made really good friendships
with the other children, enjoyed delicious and healthy meals and were always playing and having fun. They make birthdays particularly special because each child has a birthday tea with cake and a little present. I would thoroughly recommend this nursery.

Child loves it. Staff very caring and work to clearly set monthly activity plans. A sense of real effort, e.g. asking for a list of words in French (I'm French so we are trying to raise our child bi-lingually) and the daily photos, care updates and activity logs are excellent. Very pleased we got on
the waiting list early.

Our son has attended Nelly's Nursery - Turney Road for just over a year. We are so happy with Nelly's, our son is incredibly happy and has thrived in the warm and fun environment. The nursery is well organised and communicates effectively with parents. Its online platform, Tapestry is also a lovely
way for us to view the daily life of our son whilst at Nelly's. We wish we had sent our older two children to this nursery!

Nelly's is an excellent Nursery. The staff are so caring I know that I have nothing to worry about when I drop my son off in the mornings. The setting is homely with lots of engaging activities. The food sounds delicious and my son really enjoys it. I am an early years teacher and looked at many nurseries.
Nelly's really stood out to me. My son has been there for 18 months and I couldn’t recommend it more.

Top nursery with excellent facilities and staff... have had a great experience for my 2-year-old. They were very supportive during the pandemic and talking to other friends (whose kids are in other nurseries) realised that Nelly’s responses during 2020 have been the best - supporting staff and kids
families during tough times.


They are defo a 5-star nursery (even confirmed by the Ofsted rating). Keep up the good work.

Our son has been at Nelly's Nursery Turney Road for two years and we (including our son) absolutely love it. The staff are all fantastic without exception and they have made us so comfortable in the knowledge that our son is getting the best care, particularly during the current circumstances with the
lockdown. He is so happy at drop off and pick up (although sometimes he's upset as he doesn't want to leave) and learning so much. We feel very lucky. Thank you to the Nelly's team!

I have had three children at Nelly's nursery on Turney Road over the last five years - we will be really sad to say goodbye when my youngest son leaves for school in September. There has been a consistent team of staff who are completely committed to ensuring the children have a brilliant day, every
day. My son really enjoys playing with his friends, participating in the external activities (music and french classes) and playing in the garden - which is very well designed with a sandpit, climbing frame and lots of vehicles. There is always a mix of activities and the staff are really responsive to children's preferences and personalities - each of my children have different personalities yet all thrived there. Over COVID they also put in place a fantastic key worker support service, which we were so grateful for, and the transition in and out of that has been seamless for my son thanks to the commitment to maintaining staff continuity for the children.

My daughter has been attending Nelly's since April 2019. The settling in period was very well thought out and helpful - making her transition into two full days a week much easier. Her key worker is lovely, as are all the staff in the baby room, working together to provide a caring environment for
the children. The nursery is suitable for parents that are looking for a home from home environment.

Lovely nursery - have had our daughter there since she turned one and never had a day of worry. Her key worker is unbelievably fantastic and has been helping her grow into a lovely little being who is calm, considerate and caring - attributes which we'd love to believe are natural but are have undeniably
been also formed by her interactions with others of her age group at Nelly's and those that care for them there. Cannot say enough good things about this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.781)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.781) out of 10 for Partou Turney 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.781 for Partou Turney Road Day Nursery Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.781
  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 Turney Road Day Nursery Pre-School is based on 16 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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 16 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.

Liz Harris

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 1997

My name is Liz Harris, and I am the Manager here at Nelly’s Turney Road.


Having worked in the childcare industry since 1997, I recently celebrated my twentieth anniversary here at Nelly’s Turney Road where I have gained my qualifications in Childcare and Education.


Working with children is my passion as there is nothing better than seeing them develop and grow through care and play. I believe that children develop best when they are most comfortable which is why I strive to deliver a ‘home away from home’ experience by creating partnerships with parents across the setting.


I have a calm and friendly nature, and a big smile and will always go above and beyond to ensure my team provides the highest levels of childcare.


I look forward to meeting with you.
