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.

My child loves Nelly's. She walks through the door with a big smile on her face. All the staff are excellent with her. We are updated regularly which is great!
Overall very happy. Staff are all good and have a good relationship with children.
All at Nelly's have been very welcoming throughout, from initial welcome through to transitions into older rooms. Communication throughout the day is always brilliant which puts our minds at ease.
Really good experience with both our girls at Nelly's. Really friendly staff, kids learn lots and have fun.
We have had a great experience with the staff with them able to answer all questions I may have or worries/concerns around my children's development.
Excellent! Well-rounded experience for the children. Ongoing improvement in activities - new things added e.g dancing, language. Being very well prepared for future school as and so comprehensive. She doesn't need to do anything at home.
I have found my experience to be amazing. The staff at Nelly's have helped my daughter settle in lovely. they show a lot of care for her and pay attention to her interests in her home life. I am so glad we sent her here. I feel they have a very personal touch when it comes to her education and care.
Nelly's welcomes us every day with big smiles and positive enthusiasm! The tasks/games and activities they establish for the kids are wonderful and their care for each child is paramount. I trust them fully and know my boy is having the best time.
Amazing nursery, go above and beyond for my daughter. I always know she is having fun, safe and loved!
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.
Thank you for your lovely words! This has made our day! We're happy to be able to help and support.
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.
