Review from Dominique V (Mother of Child) published on 9 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
What caught my interest with this nursery was the green space it is on, and how it's away from main roads. Healthier air, being outdoors and safe were some of my decision points about choosing a nursery.


My child has been attending the nursery since she was 16 months old, she had developed bonds

with the key people at the nursery and now she knows them by name and has made friends with the other children and points them out to me when we see them!


Her expanding vocabulary and her ability to make sentences now has been great to see and hear. At the end of the day hearing about her day spent singing along or playing with her friends is rewarding in itself.

This is currently the second time we have a child at Partou Dulwich Sports Ground.
It was an easy decision for us, as the nursery has delivered a consistently positive experience. We can clearly see how the nursery helps accelerate our childrens' development, and has played a large part in shaping
their outgoing, happy and curious personalities.
I warmly recommend this nursery.
I believe their strength is younger children, up to pre school age.

We have been so thrilled with the care that Partou DSG have given to our 1 year old daughter since she started there a couple of months ago. The staff are wonderful and I fully trust them with our daughter - it makes the world of difference dropping her off knowing that she will get such a good level
of love, care and attention each day. The management is also great, communicative and always receptive to feedback.
I would recommend the nursery to any parent in the area!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Nelly’s DSG is such a friendly and welcoming environment. The staff genuinely care about the children and support them at a personal and developmental level, as well as with more educational aspects such as teaching them numbers and letters.
There is a new activity set up every morning which always
promotes learning, whilst being fun and collaborative. The activities are so varied and imaginative too.
The children are supported to be independent, but they are also encouraged to interact with their peers, helping them to deal with disputes and fostering friendships.
The days are very well structured with the right balance of adult-led activities and free play.
Our daughter loves it at Nelly’s DSG and we feel so confident and content knowing she’s being so well looked after.

Really pleased with the overall experience at Nelly’s Nursery - DSG. From the wide range of activities, that encourage both play and are educational, to the very attentive and patient staff members, who have also supported my child as well as encouraged independence. I really enjoy the 1one-to-one attention
that my child gets when new activities/skills are learned.

We started at Nelly's Nursery DSG in March, my now 2-year-old son had settling sessions for one month and then started full-time. I am grateful to the kind, patient and experienced staff at Nelly's for putting our child's needs first and taking good care of him. We know that he is first and foremost
safe at Nelly's and any issues they see will be raised in person and promptly allowing us to find a solution together. The grounds are safe and there is a lot of space for children to play and run around. Parents collect their children from their rooms, there is great communication with the staff and manager. Our son's language and physical skills have developed very quickly due to all the activities they plan. Thank you!

Very happy with the nursery, my son has been attending for over a month and the manager and the key person has been brilliant at helping him settle in. Very good communication and regular updates are provided to parents. The nursery also has a lovely outside space which my son loves. They do lots of
painting and messy play as well as French classes once a week. Most importantly the staff have all been extremely patient with my son. Highly recommended.

The team in the main room are excellent, all are enthusiastic and allow my child opportunities to develop her own interests and encourage engagement with activities throughout the day. My daughter has thrived - she is confident and a curious learner and enjoys discussing her imaginative ideas with the
adults in her room. Targets for progress/development are realistic but provide a challenge and communicated regularly with home.

The grounds at the nursery were what I really liked at first - knowing my baby would be tucked away from the business of London in this calm and green space. In addition, the staff have been fabulous with caring for cuddling and encouraging my baby.

Our son has been at Nelly's Nursery - DSG for some months and we have been happy with his care there. He seems very excited to see the staff when we drop him off and he is happy when we pick him up. Good communication with staff and management, even during COVID times when we can't go inside. They are
flexible with dietary preferences. I'm happy for them to spend as much time as possible outside (especially now that the weather is improving). They have a good outdoor space, which is a rare thing to find at most nurseries we looked at.

My daughter has been at Nelly's Nursery - DSG since before she was 1 in the Baby room. She is now 2 and a half and in the main room. She has always been well cared for by the staff and is very happy there. The communication, especially in the main room, has been excellent and my daughter has had a lot
of support with settling in. I’m very fond of the staff at Nelly's and so pleased we chose DSG.

My older child now 5 went to Nelly's Nursery - DSG from the age of 1 till school and now my younger daughter attends there. We feel very lucky to have found such a lovely nursery. Immediately as soon as you walk in, it just has that positive, good feel to it. The staff have always been lovely and kind
to both my children. Any difficult periods the kids had in terms of settling into a new room were managed well till they were no longer an issue. If I had another child, I wouldn’t hesitate to send them there.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.803)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.803) out of 10 for Partou Dulwich Sports Ground Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 6 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 4.667 for Partou Dulwich Sports Ground Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (54 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.667
  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 4.136 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Dulwich Sports Ground Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.2 = 0.536
  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.
