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.

An amazing nursery. My little boy has been attending since toddler and is now in pre-school. The staff keep me updated each day on how he has been and what he has done. The Senco has also been amazing in helping me get the support my child needs.

Enrolling my son into a nursery was a daunting task as he was such a mummy’s boy! The nursery gave him plenty of settling-in sessions to make the transition easier! The staff are super friendly and have your child’s best interests. Since starting at the nursery, I have noticed my son is developing so
quickly! The offer for the extra curriculum is fab, and the yearly diary is really helpful! Thank you, baby room!

Brilliant nursery, with a lovely staff team. My little lady had detachment issues, but she loves going to nursery now with no tears and all smiles. My eldest daughter used to come here too, this is why I have bought my baby now, as it was so good 10 years ago - 5 stars from me.

After being so attached to your very loving two-year-old it's a big transition for not only the child but the parent too. I can't thank the staff enough for the patience they have, my son struggled to settle at first within a month he has come on leaps and bounds within his confidence, I can't believe
how much he has come on I couldn't have done it without the support from the staff. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching my little flower blossom each day, he has learnt so much already, best decision I made sending him, lovely calm atmosphere.

Absolutely amazing nursery. The staff go above and beyond for the little ones in their care - from the moment my son had his first settler sessions, they’ve made sure that he’s comfortable and settled in to the nursery. The app is regularly updated, so you can check how they’re doing when you have a
spare minute at work, which works really well for us. I’m so happy with how settled my little boy is - he always comes home happy when he’s been to nursery.

Brilliant nursery, my daughter loves it here, brilliant communication from them regarding daily activities, meals, naps and toileting. I couldn't ask for more. The staff often talk to me about her personality traits, it's so reassuring that they are really paying attention to the children's individual
needs and actively arrange activities to suit them. Brilliant!

Nurtured Chell are a lovely welcoming nursery. We felt very relaxed leaving our daughter with them. They did amazingly when she first started here, and there is no bad experience so far. They make you feel at ease each time we drop off and pick up and always keep us up to date throughout the day with
notifications of nappy changes etc, which we find very useful for when we collect. Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since being here and she is on target in all development areas.

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery and she adores the staff who work with her. Since day one they have been very approachable and have met my daughter's specific needs. They listened to what the hospital had advised and made sure the guidance was followed. I would 100% recommend this nursery.

An ideal location for my daughter with various activities to encourage development. A tailored experience to adapt to our child's interests and needs. Most importantly, she feels safe and happy and enjoys every second of her time there. Additional courses are available that also help support development,
some of which are free and great support where needed.
I wouldn't take my daughter anywhere else.

Amazing nursery. I have had my twins at this nursery since they were very little. The nursery has supported us throughout their development with how to help them progress. They communicate with us very well about the childrens day and what they've enjoyed doing. I always feel comfortable asking questions
to the staff. The staff are lovely and caring and very, very approachable. Highly recommend this nursery!

My daughter was 9 months old when she started Young Explorers; she's now almost 11 months and absolutely loves it! The lovely staff helping her to settle in so well has made the anxiety of going back to work after maternity so much better. Apart from the odd day, she absolutely beams at whoever answers
the door to take her inside, and you can see how excited she is to start playing. I'm always checking the app to see what she's eating, etc, and I love seeing photos of all the fun she's having! I would recommend this nursery to anyone; seeing how happy it's made my daughter spending time there is amazing.

Staff are always friendly and welcoming. My eldest child has loved every minute at Young Explorers, especially with one lady. My youngest is starting full-time next week after plenty of settling-in sessions to make sure she is settled. Overall, a wonderful setting where as parents, we feel comfortable
leaving the children. Any queries we have had have always been answered quickly and effectively.

Wonderful nursery. All staff are very helpful. The new app has been created to help with communication where we are updated daily, pictures are shown of the activities of the children, and we also get all invoices through here. Nothing is too much trouble, and my little boy has been there for nearly
two years and loves it.

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.
