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.

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.
Reply from Elizabeth Kemsley, Area Manager at Nurtured @ ChellThank you so much for your kind review, we are so glad you are happy with the service we provide, and we look forward to sharing this with the team, thank you again!

Our little girl started Nurtured Chell at 10 months old (April 2024). She does 4 morning sessions per week and she adores going to nursery. The ladies are amazing and we are thoroughly at ease/confident in the care that our girl receives. Cannot reccomend this nursery enough!
Reply from Elizabeth Kemsley, Nursery Manager at Nurtured @ ChellThank you! She has settled in so well, and she has always got a big smile for us each morning!

Couldn't ask for a better nursery for my little boy to attend, they have helped him come on so much over the months and couldn't thank them enough for what they do. They always want the best for the children and all staff cooperate well throughout the setting.
Reply from Elizabeth Kemsley, Nursery Manager at Nurtured @ ChellThank you, he has come on so much hasn't he, he has such a cheeky personality and is always happy to join in with all activities.

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!
Reply from Elizabeth Kemsley, Area Manager at Nurtured @ ChellThank you for taking the time to review us. We are so pleased you have had such a fantastic experience. It's so lovely to hear the staff, in particular, were so supported, We wish you all the best in the future!

As our little one is leaving nursery this year to go to big school, we can't thank the whole team at Nurtured enough for taking care of our daughter. She started attending the nursery at just a few months old and I had full trust in them from the get-go. Some of the team have had a close bond with her
and she talks about them at home. So I know we made the right choice in choosing Nurtured.

Review from D H (Grandmother of Child) published on 24 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I love this nursery, my granddaughter has been attending since the beginning of March 2024. I have been on visits with her mum to settle her in and from the start I just knew this was the right choice. I pick her up every Friday and the staff are amazing (baby room), they go out of their way to tell
me about my granddaughter's day and what she has eaten. I feel nothing is too much trouble for the staff to answer any questions I have. My granddaughter has also come on leaps and bounds while attending this amazing nursery, for example, she was a real fussy eater and found it hard to sit still when she did eat, but since being here she is trying all new foods and actually sits and eats with the other children which is a great milestone. Thank you all for doing a great job, keep up the good work from a very very satisfied nanny.

I have used Nurtured childcare for both my young children back in 2020 and again just over 12 months. Staff are amazing and make sure your're updated on everything that's going on and how the days have been. Never have had a fault within the nursery setting. They've helped my little girl come a long
way from hardly speaking to helping her speech become so much more clear.

I have been using this nursery since 2019. Overall I am happy with the service provision. Both of my children were always happy to go here - which is great, knowing that they’re comfortable and happy. Both developed friendships and great relationships with children and staff. I feel that the staff genuinely
care for the children and their development and put a lot of effort into enhancing their skills, and individualise this too. There have been a couple of issues on occasions throughout the years that I’ve raised - however, the nursery is very sincere and quick at dealing with the issues and rectifying them - which is all you can ask really. There are lovely extracurricular activities that further develop the children’s skills too. What’s important to me, is that my daughter is thriving and coming along amazingly and a lot of that is thanks to attending the nursery. She is happy. She is cared for. She is safe.

My son has been attending the nursery since he was 11 months old. Since there, he’s moved from the babies to the toddlers room and I plan to keep him there for the preschool too. I find all the staff caring and nurturing and my son is happy and content when there. They’ve supported with identifying
some possible speech delays in which they’ve acted accordingly by referring to specialist support whilst providing extra support within their setting.

Highly recommend this nursery! The staff are always easily approachable and update me regularly via the app, they also take special care to explain to each parent at pick up how their child has been throughout the day. The staff always listen to your concerns and will help in any way they can. The variety
of food for meals and snacks is great and also the activities throughout each day. My son has developed so many skills since attending.

This nursery has helped my daughter so much, she started in September 2023, she had lots of settling-in sessions to help her get to know the staff and her room.
All of the ladies are welcoming and always on hand to help with anything, my daughter does need additional support and everyone has been
really supportive in explaining everything step by step making it less stressful. Definitely recommend this nursery.

Transitioning to a new nursery has been hard for my little boy, learning new faces and a new setting. But the staff have made it so easy. Plenty of settling-in sessions to ease him in, the staff have been lovely, and he formed a good bond with his new key worker so quickly!

My little boy started Nurtured in Chell in March. The staff are lovely and welcoming and helped with 15-hour funding application. Everything was sorted quickly and efficiently and my little boy was booked in for taster sessions, he settled in very quickly with no upset (he didn’t want to leave) and
was able to start the fully funded sessions the following week. The app they use is brilliant and keeps you fully updated with your child’s progress and other news that’s happening within the setting. I feel confident when leaving my little boy that he is well taken care of and happy and would recommend using the nursery to anyone looking for childcare.

I enrolled my son in September 2023, some of my older children came to this nursery so I was already familiar with the friendly staff. They knew that I had never enrolled any of my children as young as I did my youngest and knew how anxious I was. They were so reassuring and supportive, not just for
my child but myself also. My child soon settled in their nursery, his knowledge and development is absolutely fantastic, thanks to the team. They will always go above and beyond where they can for their children and the parents. If I could give more stars to rate I would! Well done!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.951)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.951) 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 48 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 48 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 4.951 for Nurtured @ Chell is calculated as follows: ( (548 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 573 Ratings = 4.951
  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 48 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 48 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.
