Nurtured @ Chell is situated on Bidulph road, close to areas such as Packmoor and Tunstall.

The team pride themselves on their sustainable approach. Learning how to offer more kindness in the world, especially learning how doing good things for others can feel good. There is a special focus on wellbeing, learning how to understand big feelings and how to regulate them and learn how to build resilience. Their kindness begins with the little ones, but the same approach is offered to parents & the team too. The fully qualified team are incredibly supportive and they are passionate about building positive relationships. The fun starts in nursery, but there are some lovely green urban routes to explore, the children can enjoy nature at its best, during walks and forest school activities. The outdoor play area is small but mighty, housing a rowing boat, mud kitchen and bug hotel. They have library visits, amongst many other trips and a a wonderful selection extra curricular activities to choose from. They offer intergenerational care, singing, wood work and they love spending time with the older generation of Chell, reducing feelings of isolation and loneliness. Stay & play sessions are available for parents who don't attend the nursery, this allows for 'stay at home parents' to develop those all important early interactions, language development and social skills for little ones.

They would love for you to come and visit to see the friendly atmosphere first hand. The children are at the heart of everything. The team support each individual to discover their unique learning journey, enabling all children to reach their full potential.

Nurtured Chell has been amazing for our daughter. The staff are so friendly yet professional and always keep us updated, whether through the app, phone or at pick-up. I love receiving photos and updates which reassure me she's happy and settled. Since starting, her confidence, speech and motor skills
have come on so much, and the variety of meals has encouraged her to try new foods. The nursery itself is lovely, with safeguarding clearly a top priority, and activities like rhythm time and the recent zoo trip make her days extra special. We're excited to watch her progress through the rooms, knowing she'll always be welcomed by the amazing team. I would definitely recommend Nurtured Chell to anyone looking for a caring, organised and professional nursery.

I was really nervous about leaving our baby girl at nursery, however the staff have been nothing short of fantastic, supporting baby and us through transition into the setting. Every question is answered, the app is brilliant and informative. I highly recommend Nurtured @Chell and thank them for their
support.

My son started here at the start of September and I couldn't praise the staff more! due to his restricted diet the staff have been amazing with his meals and accommodating for him to make his meals as similar as possible to the other children to make him feel included whilst making sure he is getting
the right foods along with his supplements. The staff are brilliant at settling him as he did get a little upset when he first started but the more he's going the more is he getting use to been in the nursery environment and is thriving thanks to the nursery staff

My son has started nursery in September and from the moment I visited the nursery this year I knew it was the one for us as we felt welcomed from the very moment we stepped in.
Throughout August we had a home visit, and then multiple short sessions at the nursery which made me feel so much better ahead
of him starting for 2 days a week.
Every staff member are warm, caring and have such a lovely way with the children. I love that we're kept updated throughout the day with the various activities and what he is getting up to. Thanks so much to everyone for making what such a hard big step much easier.

Both my girls attended/are attending Nurtured @ Chell. The staff are amazing & friendly. My eldest come on a lot with her speech when she attended and she absolutely loved going and making new friends and trying new things. My youngest has only just started but she has settled in well and enjoys
going and exploring! She has also learnt a few words since going and it's only been 10 days! The care the staff give the children is like all the children are their own!! Highly recommend xx

My son has been attending this nursery since September 2024, he has come on so well since being here, he has started to say more words, he is no longer shy around others and will engage with other adults and children. He now enjoys going to nursery and has created a close bond to his keyworker that
is amazing with him.

Any issues that arise, they deal with in a sensitive manner. I really couldn't recommend these highly enough.

A wonderful nursery that feels like family!
From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt welcomed with warm smiles and kindness. The staff are always friendly, approachable, and ready to help with any request. They go above and beyond to ensure my child's special dietary needs are met, which
gives me great peace of mind.
Since my son started attending, I have noticed remarkable improvements in his development, even in such a short time. It's clear that the team truly cares about each child, creating a nurturing and supportive environment where they can grow and thrive.
I couldn't be happier with our experience at this nursery-it's a place full of love, care, and dedication. Highly recommended.

My son has been coming here for just over 12 months after having a bad experience at a previous nursing and honestly, I can't believe the difference in him, he has developed and learnt so much. He always feels comforted by the staff at Nurtured, especially his key worker, they're like his 2nd family!
I'm so glad my son got to experience Nurtured at Chell and I believe this has set him up perfectly for his transition to big school!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.958)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.958) out of 10 for Nurtured @ Chell is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 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 4.958 for Nurtured @ Chell is calculated as follows: ( (506 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 525 Ratings = 4.958
  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 Nurtured @ Chell is based on 44 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 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 44 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.
