Partou Dulwich Sports Ground Day Nursery & Pre-School

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.

The staff are lovely, enthusiastic and consistent. My son's confidence has grown at the nursery. The food is well thought out. There is a big outdoor area and garden which was a key factor for choosing the nursery.

A wonderful nursery with a lovely environment right next to the fields and very caring staff. Our son has been at Nelly's Nursery - DSG since he was a year old and really loves it. They provide us with regular updates throughout the day so we are happy that he’s happy and having fun whilst we are working. It’s clear he also learns a lot from being in such a supportive environment as the growth in his confidence and vocabulary has been wonderful to see.

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.

Our daughter has just started at Nelly's Nursery - DSG and we have been so impressed so far with all of the staff and the environment. They have all worked really hard to help our baby settle, being as flexible and considerate as possible and really showing they care with lots of attention to detail. Our daughter’s key worker has been so kind and understanding - making sure we’re kept up to date and communicating how she is getting on. We are really pleased we picked Nelly's Nursery - DSG.

Both my children have attended Nelly's Nursery - DSG over the past four years. The staff are all lovely and I’m always very impressed how well the team know my children and care for them. My children have both very much enjoyed their time in this setting and we will be sorry to be saying goodbye at the end of summer.

Our son has been settled in really well. Everyone has been really helpful and kind. The space itself is really nice with lots of outdoor space and light and lots of fun toys and active play. Pickup and drop off is quick and easy and the online journal is great.

This has been my son's first nursery experience and it has been lovely to see him come out of his shell. His speech and communication have improved and he has made lovely friendships with his peers, moreover, he has bonded well with his room leader and key person. I have seen a big change in my son's behaviourism's since attending the nursery for example at home he was not eating much food, when he started Nelly's Nursery - DSG he was encouraged by staff to eat and the daily routine of seeing the other children eat would help with this also.

Our daughter is extremely well looked after by the Nelly's Nursery - DSG team and enjoys going in every day. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the nursery to any parent looking for excellent childcare in the area.

My niece is always happy here and seems to be learning more and more every day. In London, it is hard to find a nursery with such little outdoor space and this has lots. My niece is energetic and this suits her well. If I lived nearer this would be an option for my child.

Fantastic nursery! Great communication and loving staff! They really keep us up to date with activities or any news which is really good. Love the location as well! My daughter really enjoys it there.

My daughter has attended for almost a year and has been very happy there, in both the baby and toddler room. The management team are great, very responsive. I would highly recommend it to any parent who is considering nurseries in the area.

This is a really lovely nursery set in a large open green space. All the staff are excellent and there is a very friendly environment throughout the nursery and all the children seem very happy. I would have no hesitation in recommending it.

My son started at Nelly's a few months ago and the staff have been so supportive. They have spent so much time getting to know him, catering to his needs and he is so happy there. His relationship with his key worker is so lovely to see- he is always so happy to see her. The outdoor space is great and much bigger than many other nurseries in the area. Leaving your child at nursery especially when they are so young can feel daunting but the staff at Nelly's have made it such a smooth transition in such a nurturing environment!

Our son has been at DSG since he was 9 months old. I feel that attending DSG has advanced his development - not only does he learn from other children, but the staff actively use techniques to further his speech and motor skills. During the pandemic, we were well supported by DSG who were responsive and understanding of a difficult personal circumstance. Our son, who is now in the toddler room, regularly tells us that his keyworkers are his "friends" and I am confident he means it! As well as lovely and experienced staff, the children are fed well balanced and thought-through menus. Their day is structured and full of variety. The outdoor space also means that they can spend a large amount of time outside (which our son loves).

Nelly's Nursery - DSG is a lovely nursery. Our two year old twins started at Nelly's in January and have settled in well thanks to the fantastic care they have received from staff. The children have lots of great toys to play with and each day do creative activities like making play-dough and painting. One of the reasons we choose Nelly's is the outdoor space and the fact that children aren't cooped up but instead play and do activities with each other outside. The staff have made a real effort to get to know our children and have been great at keeping us updated on how they are doing. Before starting at Nelly's our children had only ever been cared for by me or my husband so starting nursery was a big transition for all of us, however the peaceful atmosphere at Nelly's and the warmth of the staff has made what was a big change feel easier. I would definitely recommend it.

We moved our daughter to Nelly's DSG when she had just turned 2. She had been at another nursery, and our sense was that she hadn't been particularly happy there. It was only, however, on seeing the warmth and generosity of the staff, the efforts they made to make our daughter feel settled, and the creative energy of the whole environment, that we realised how much she had been missing. Since then, our daughter has been immensely happy: she trots into nursery each day with hardly a backward glance, she has made really good friends and it is evident that she loves all her 'grown-up friends' as well. Our experience has been so good that in spite of moving from the area a few months ago, we have refused to move our daughter (and now our son as well) to a closer nursery!

Fantastic nursery! We moved our kids from another nursery where there were too many issues, but since moving our kids to Nelly's DSG we have had not one complaint! The staff are all very friendly and approachable. The kids are so happy when they go in and even happier when we collect them in the evening! The nursery staff keep us very well updated about what the kids get up to, how well they eat/sleep etc. I highly recommend this nursery!

Would thoroughly recommend it. The care is excellent, the food is excellent and my daughter settled in so quickly down to the staff being so welcoming. Extremely pleased with the setup and the staff. Nelly's Nursery - DSG also has a very good outside space which my wife and I love.
