Nice and friendly staff. Like the app which keeps us informed of activities and other infirmation. Love the range of activities nad my son is always happy to attend.
Love the nursery and the staff have been amazing with my daughter.
Kind, understanding, patient, excellent service from start to finish. Could not recommend more!
The staff and facilities at the nursery are excellent. Our daughter has learnt so much since she started here and loves attending. If we ever have any questions or concerns the staff are always happy to help and are very reassuring. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to other parents.
Our daughter thoroughly enjoys her time at Nelly's. Her speech and overall learning have improved greatly. She will happily discuss her teachers and it is obvious they care for her and all the other children.
Very impressed with the nursery. The staff are very professional and are all very friendly.
The staff are amazing and my daughter is learning day by day new things which is amazing to see her develop.
Fantastic staff. Personalised care. Great support, especially with difficult transitions and adaptations. Tried care for little ones where they work to your child’s needs and development. We wouldn’t want our little one to go anywhere else.
Thank you for your lovely review! We appreciate all our parent support!
Our child has progressed so much since coming to Nelly's Nursery. He loves the different activities everyday. We couldn't ask for more encouragement from the staff who have been so lovely, supporting our child every step of the way.
Great nursery, lovely staff.
Friendly, professional and knowledgeable teaching team. We are so pleased with how my child is coming along and we have Nelly's Nursery to thank for that! He loves coming to nursery and the stimulating environment you provide. We can't thank you enough.
Our child has attended nursery from seven months old to three and a half. She feels happy, secure and has made lots of lovely friendships. The staff are excellent and have nurtured her learning and participation. They are responsive to all our needs as a family and offer kindness and care in our daughter's learning journey. We are grateful for all the adventures and activities that support imaginative learning and confidence.
Nelly's have been a fantastic place to send our child. He's been there for over two years now and has enjoyed every single day. The staff are fantastic and we can't wait for our second son to go to Nelly's too. The development since nursery has been really visible and our son enjoys going every day.
Amazing place for kids. We have noticed so many positive changes in our little boy since starting at Nelly's. Staff are always very warm, kind and supportive.
My daughter is very happy at Nelly's Nursery. This is primarily down to the staff, who are friendly, supportive and kind. The level of engagement with the kids is very high.
Nelly's has been a wonderful place for my child. They are so supportive of us as a family and flexible with our needs. They know my child so well, understand their needs and abilities and tailor experiences to best suit and challenge them. Highly recommend Nelly's.
Since our son started at Nelly's the progress he has made and the care he has received has been phenomenal. When we were first nervous about leaving him there we were reassured by the staff and regularly receive updates as to how he is doing. They plan such lovely and educational activities for the babies in their care and make is such a happy place for our son to be.
Our son has been going to Nelly’s for three years and has loved his time there. We’ve seen him come out of his shell and watched his confidence grow. Every day we’ve sent him just seems so well planned, with a theme for learning and a breadth of materials prepared to help facilitate that learning. We’re actually amazed that the staff never seem to run out of ideas. Our son adores the staff, and when asked who his favourite is, he just says ‘all of them’. A super pleasant environment for children, and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Nelly’s.
My little one has come on leaps and bounds and the socialisation he gets is brilliant. The staff do so much varied activities with him and the other children. They also pick up on things they like to do and enforce learning through play.
Thank you for your review Emily! Very kind of you - I will pass on your lovely comments to the staff!
My little girl absolutely loves Nellys Nursery - she started at 12 months in September 2022 and she settled incredibly quickly thanks to the support from her key worker and the other nursery staff. She gets varied play (indoor and out), lots of attention, good food which she eats (much more than at home!) and there is great communication with us as parents. I would highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind words, it is very appreciated!
