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.

Review from Lauren R (Mother of Child) published on 16 November 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I currently have a daughter that attends Young Explorers, and my eldest daughter also attended until she was three. My younger brother and sister also attended this nursery, and my nephew now also attends too. I have equally had friends bring their children to the nursery. With the amount of people
I know to come through this nursery should speak for itself. The staff are amazing and make you feel safe and comfortable in leaving your children with them. And to say my daughters have thrived in their care would be an understatement. They have come so far in their learning with a huge credit of that from going to Explorers. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone needing childcare.

My daughter struggled to settle in the nursery; she was really upset when I used to leave her. Even though it took her a while to settle, the staff persevered with her and were always friendly, professional and welcoming. She loves coming to nursery now and asks when can she go.

My son has gone here for 7-months roughly; he loves coming here every day. Every day he comes home with a huge smile on his face telling me about the fantastic day he’s had whilst being at nursery! I would 100% recommend this nursery to any parent who feels scared to let their child go to nursery. They
keep you up to date with everything on the app, tell you about the child’s day and make you feel at ease. Since going to this nursery, my son's development has increased massively, and his speech is amazing.

Both of my children have used Young Explores, and I have never had any problems regarding either of them. Both of my children loved going here, and the staff are always helpful and friendly. This is a fantastic nursery.

They care, and nothing is too hard. They take care of my child as expected, always professional and attentive. The place is clean, the staff are very kind, and my kid is always happy to go to daycare every time.
We just love and trust Young Explorers Childcare, and we are so happy with our choice.

The nursery has been very helpful in the development of my child. Friendly staff, who have created a home away from home for the children and pay good attention to their individual needs. My child is now confident to communicate with others. Thank you to every staff member who has created this family-friendly
atmosphere for the kids and parents.

My daughter attended this nursery some years ago and absolutely loved it - now my son has started. The nursery staff are always so friendly and helpful and make learning and development fun. They do so many different activities for the kids, and it’s lovely to see through the app. Highly recommended!

Fantastic nursery; very glad I decided to send my child there. They treat every child definitely in regards to learning and don’t force others to progress on to something before fully understanding the task.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My little boy has been going to this nursery since he was 8-months-old. They have always done a great job with him. If we have any worries they were always hands on to sort. My little boy is now in preschool, and he'll be getting ready for school next year; it will break my heart when he has to leave.
He's made so many friends and always talks about his days at nursery. Sometimes he doesn't want to go, but once he's there, he doesn't want to leave.

Can’t fault the nursery or the staff. Always do the best for the children, and the nursery itself is a beautiful environment, and my son always enjoys going and is excited to attend every day. The facilities and learning are great, and my son has come on leaps and bounds since attending the nursery.
Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone with younger children.

Couldn’t wish for a better nursery for my boy. He loves it, and the staff and facilities are brilliant! He has been going since he was 9-months-old, and he is a little star of the nursery, from what I have been told. Couldn't wish for a better place for him to go!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has attended this nursery since 2015. With a busy and hectic lifestyle like many parents, Young Explorers have always gone out of their way to cater for me and my child. Nothing is too much hassle, clean and friendly environment, and very much reliable and trustworthy staff. I feel more at
ease knowing my child is looked after and safe there, and although there can be cheaper child care options elsewhere, the price for the services are fantastic. Special shout out to the after school staff, who are absolutely excellent, and as for one lady, she has always looked after us and made sure everything is ok. The new owner I have had a few dealings with already and can honestly say I'm very impressed with her rapid response and actions whenever I've needed help or any question's... thanks!

Really well-managed nursery. My son loves going, he’s always full of smiles when I pick him up, chatting away about what he’s done that day. Lovely staff and always so pleasant and give you a full handover of what has happened throughout the day with my son.
Highly recommend!
I shall be sending
my second son to this nursery!

Young Explorers staff are amazing with my little girl. They have brought her on so much. She could hardly talk when she first started here, and now she is thriving in every way. She absolutely loves going to nursery now! Always so excited to play with her friends and see all the staff that take care
of her. Fantastic nursery; would definitely recommend 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.
