I couldn't ask for a better nursery to send my daughter to. From day 1, all staff members have been amazing. They not only treat my daughter with compassion but also make me feel so at ease. Thank you Nelly's.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Well... what can we say about Nelly's... where to start. Our son started there in January and since then we have had nothing but care and support from the whole team. Attentive is an understatement. Our son has struggled with the transition to nursery and we have found other struggles along the way.
The team were so communicative and have supported us with assessments and external support for our son. They have worked to support us and our son in every way possible. Inclusive, equitable kind, caring and eager to help are all words we would use to describe the team at Nelly's. They are knowledgeable too and since our son started there we have seen him develop and progress in leaps and bounds. Amazing. The team are so keen to embed the nursery into the heart of the community too with coffee mornings, open events and visits to the village with the kids. They have also set up Sports Coach sessions which our son loves. Thank you Nelly's.
Reply from Rachel Wheldon, Manager at Nelly's Nursery

My son loves attending nursery, the staff all seem lovely and caring and provide daily updates which is great for parents to see. The daily activities are great for learning and all seem very engaging. When I drop my son in the morning he's smiling away and can't wait to get inside, I feel that the
staff have all made his time there very enjoyable and he always seems very happy when I collect him. The menu choices are very vast and seem to cater for all. Overall I'm very happy with this nursery and would recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.888)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.888) out of 10 for Nelly's Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 68 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 68 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 4.888 for Nelly's Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (728 Excellents x 5) + (79 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 813 Ratings = 4.888
  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 Nelly's Nursery is based on 68 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 46 number of registered child places is 9.2, which has been reached with 68 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.
