Never had any issues. Always been supportive in helping us with her routines and different milestones ie potty training. Love they go on trips to the market and walk around the community. Only constructive feedback would be we personally would love ideas and activities to do together when at home but appreciate not all enjoy homework.
Overwhelmingly possitive in helping our child grow. Team are on hand to help with worries or questions. Team are pivitol in how our child has become a confident happy boy.
We literally adore Nelly's staff, especially in my child's current room. The care, compassion, love, protection and education they show to my child is remarkable. My child has learnt so much during his time at Nelly's and that's thanks to the staff. Huge thanks to two members of staff in particular for all the behind the scenes stuff. We love you all so much and owe you the world for loving our son, and us. Thank you for the chats and smiles at the door.
Our child loves attending nursery here. We can only speak great things about the staff and care received.
My daughter enjoys nursery and always comes home smiling. She can be a bit of a fussy eater so I asked that when she hasn't eating dinner they offer her some fruit instead of the usual sweet treat dessert which they have done. The app is great and I love getting picture updates when I am at work. The staff are all very friendly and great at keeping parents up to date with information
We couldn't ask for a better nursery. They go above and beyond to meet both my sons needs. They have created a warm and welcoming learning environment that makes learning fun. The boys love coming and are always excited to go and explore activities and see all the staff as they have great relationships with them all.
We could not be happier with Nelly's Nursery, we are so glad we were able to get a place for our little one. She jumps into her keyworkers arms and cannot wave us off quick enough at drop off. The updates on the app are fab, we love to see our little one having so much fun, always full of smiles. Could not recommend Nelly's enough. The range of activities each day and variety of food offered are also great.
Lovely staff and place for my daughter to learn and grow.
Can never recommend Nelly's Nursery enough. My little girl absolutely loves coming to such a friendly amazing place. Can't thank you all enough for everything.
All staff are amazing. Our little pud has come on loads! We feel so at ease knowing she is looked after so well.
Always pleasant, no problems at all.
Nelly's Nursery has been amazing with both my children staff are very approachable and supportive.
My child was so nervous to start with and the change in him has been huge. He now can't wait to go and always has a great time. All the staff are super friendly and have been amazing. Would highly recommend this nursery to others.
Very happy with care my daughter receives. Very supportive.
An amazing nursery, staff really care and go above and beyond for the children. Very child-focused.
We have recently moved to Nelly's from a different nursery and have been very impressed so far. The staff are all really friendly and we have been blown away with fantastic facilities- particularly the outdoor area, where the kids spend a lot of time, which we really like. We also love that the kids are taken into the community and introduced to the village from a young age. We would highly recommend to anyone!
I cannot fault Nelly's Nursery. My son has had and continues to have the most amazing time. He truly loves everybody at nursery and has built lovely relationships with his teachers, who from day one have made him feel comfortable and happy. As a parent, I feel completely at ease leaving my child there and have always had clear communication with my son's key worker (who he adores!). All the effort that goes into the daily activities is amazing, and I see how my son is thriving in confidence at Nelly's. We are so grateful for this amazing experience. Thank you.
My child learns so much and loves being here. The staff are caring and supportive. Very responsive and gives us the information we need.
My son loves coming to nursery and the staff are so lovely. Would 100% recommend.
Everything is always up to standard. The care and education our daughter receives are beyond our expectations. She loves coming here, and we couldn't be happier.
