Nelly's has been so much more than a nursery for our child over the past 2 years. Our son, who has individual needs and found being around other children very difficult, found a place of safety and understanding at Nelly's. They encouraged and supported him in ways that enabled socilisation on his terms and this helped develop his sense of belonging. Its been an additional home where hebfelt secure, valued and encouraged every day. Nelly's supported our family as a whole with events and coffee mornings, including us in our child's learning journey with them. We will always be grateful to Nelly's for their role in our child's development and happiness

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a heartfelt review. Your words truly mean a great deal to all of us at Nelly's.It has been a privilege to be part of your son's journey over the past two years. Every child is unique, and we believe wholeheartedly that children should be supported to develop, explore and build relationships in ways that work for them. Seeing his confidence grow, finding his own ways to engage with others and watching his sense of belonging develop has been incredibly special for our whole team. We are also so pleased that you have felt supported as a family.
Thank you for trusting us with such an important part of your son's early years. We feel very proud to have been part of his story and will always remember him with great fondness.

We are so pleased with our experience at Nellys - since viewing the nursery in 2022 to now with both our children attending the setting. Nellys has always been brilliant but we feel that over the last few months, it has just got better and better with really strong management (thank you Charlotte, Jenny - Joanne), a wonderful team of caregivers and regular & clear communication. Both our children look forward to coming to nursery & we are provided very regular updates on their routines and the activities they have undertaken each day. All the current staff members that we interact with are amazing but we must give a special mention to Kya, Sophie, Helen, Rachael & Wendy in Owls, Jess and Lisa in Robins (and Rachael before she changed rooms), and Megan, Brook and Becky in Wrens - these are the staff who have either been key workers for our children or who have recently looked after them. Our eldest in particular is always telling us how much she loves her teachers. Thanks Nellys!
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We are all really pleased to hear that your enjoying care and communication offered at Nelly's and importantly that your children look forward to coming! The shout outs are fab too - we will make sure they all receive the recognition they deserve.

She seems to really enjoy the activities, whether its painting, drawing, playing in different themed trays or visiting the local community on little adventures.
We have not had any issues with Nellys since starting. We enjoy the updates they give us with photos, which we upload to our family album for her memories.
Would highly recommend Nellys to anyone looking for a nursery in the area.

There is always a nice activity planned each day which shows some thought is put into the day to day running.
I am pleased to note that they offered first aid training and certifications for the parents alongside the staff, which feels like a step above.
So far I would say I am pleased with the nursery.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Glad to hear that your son is enjoying nursery and that you are pleased with the experience so far.

Nellys nursery has been amazing for our daughter who started her care with the nursery when she was around 10 months old. She is currently in the toddler room, and all the girls looking after her have been brilliant. She is so happy to go to nursery, and the pictures I receive during the day always show her to be having fun.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear your happy with the care and enjoy getting the photos daily.
After a few months of difficulty with the change in management, we couldn't ask for any more from the nursery. The staff are wonderful with our child and we can see how much she loves going there.

The activities focus on different areas of the children's' development and it is so noticeable. The updates from the app are helpful and let us see what is going on during the day but we would love to see more photos of our child.
The food is a bit of an issue as our child doesn't really like some of the choices but it would be great if they offered a little more variety so that she continues to eat consistently.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that your child is enjoying nursery and the activities provided. Your feedback about the food will be taken on board as we review and plan a new menu.
The staff in the Owls School Room have been absolutely brilliant with our son. They are so caring, attentive and always go above and beyond to make sure the children are happy and engaged. They put so much thought into the activities they plan and really know what the children will love.

The staff in the Owls School Room have been absolutely brilliant with our son. They are so caring, attentive and always go above and beyond to make sure the children are happy and engaged. They put so much thought into the activities they plan and really know what the children will love.
We really appreciate how hard the staff work and everything they do to make sure our son is safe, happy and well cared for. They have given us complete confidence that he is in the best hands, which means so much to us as parents.
We will genuinely miss the Owls team when our son moves on to school. Thank you for everything you have done for him - we couldn't be more grateful!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. It's wonderful to hear that your son has enjoyed his time in Owl's, we wish him well on his journey to school.

My daughters attended Nelly's for 2 full days each week for just shy of 12 months, and I can hand on heart say we've not had a single issue. The staff are all so kind and caring towards all the children I have witnessed; and my daughter thoroughly enjoys attending. She comes home chatting all about the staff and what activities they've done that day. It's lovely being kept up to date throughout the day, and nothing is too much trouble! Had great support recently with potty training. I feel very happy and comfortable leaving my daughter at nellys nursery knowing she will receive great care, particularly from her key worker, who she's bonded great with.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. Pleased to hear that potty training has gone well and the support has been positive. Your feedback means a lot to the whole team.
Our son loves going to Nelly's Nursery and I cannot fault them on their care and attention. Brooke is my son's key worker and he absolutely adores her, she is amazing with him, so caring, patient and you can really tell she enjoys her job. Everyone in Pod One and Two have been phenomenal.

So please with how Taylor has settled into nursery! She absolutely adores Jess as her key person which is so lovely to see. When I pick Taylor up at the end of the day It's evident how much fun she has had, so much so she sometimes reaches to go back in with Jess which just shows the bond that they have forged. After a few months of being at Nellys Taylor has now also started to bond with Brooke and Meg and is evidently sees nursery as a fun, safe and happy place to be which is credit to the girls that care for her.As a parent I love the pictures and updates that I receive ,not only do they offer reassurance that she's ok and having a nice time but absolutely make my day. Taylor seems to really enjoy her time at nursery I feel like it's bringing her developmental and social skills in leaps and bounds. So far the nursery has been very accommodating and supportive in providing Taylor with the best care and meeting her individual needs however best they can,seeing her as an individual.

My child loves coming to nursery and comes out at the end of the day all smiles, excited to share what she's been up to. The staff have been lovely since day one and brilliantly supportive with all the ups and downs that toddler-hood brings!

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....
