Nellys DSG is a wonderful nursery. I really couldn't ask for anymore. Everyone is so friendly and always smiling. Our son is often quite upset at drop off time, but all the staff go out of their way to make sure he settles in after a couple of minutes. They keep me updated on his progress through
phone calls, emails and I can always get hold of someone if I need to. Our son has made lots of friends at nursery and learnt so much.

We have been very impressed by the friendly staff, and our son has been very happy attending. There are plenty of toys, he loves the Whippersnappers sessions with singing and dancing. The staff were supportive during potty training and provide plenty of feedback on his day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Their adaptation to the current crisis has been great. Close communication, such positive staff attitudes and our son has been welcomed back in like we have never been away. The meal plans are great and their attention to detail on the health precautions is very reassuring. We are at the sports ground
site and having the playing fields backing directly into the site creates an air of real seclusion and calm.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Nelly’s DSG is a wonderful nursery and my daughter is extremely happy there. Surrounded by green fields and with a willow tree in the garden, the setting is idyllic and I’m delighted the children spend so much time outside at play. The staff are very caring and take the time to get to know the children.
The range of activities offered is excellent and there are also plenty of resources available to support the children’s learning. The team have created the perfect environment in which children can grow and flourish during these all important formative years. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nelly’s DSG to anyone looking for a nursery in the area.

Nelly’s DSG has caring staff and lovely outdoor space that our child really enjoys. Having visited other nurseries, we chose Nelly's because we felt each child’s needs was attended to with kindness and respect. They also have nice open-ended toys and a calm indoor space. Recommend!

Nelly's Nursery DSG has been such a positive experience for my children. They both have so much fun, have made friends and learnt about how to thrive in social situations. Nelly's has given them individual attention to understand what they enjoy, which is very difficult for both children. When they
are, on occasion, upset at drop off I love how individual children are allowed into the staff office to calm down and feel a bit special. All the staff at Nelly's are wonderful, and I feel very lucky that they have diverse and kind people looking after my children.

We are honestly very happy with Nelly’s DSG. Our little one always come back happy. One thing that I really like is that not only the key person knows our little one but all of the girls, even the kitchen lady knows him as well. Really happy leaving my kid with them and knowing he will be looked after.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little one is in the baby room - every carer knows who she is and everyone cares for her. We were half expecting our little one to have a difficult transition to settle in because she was jet-lagged, changing nurseries and we'd had nanny issues, but the staff made her days happy and I've always
left feeling she was in great hands and she had no problem at all settling. On the logistics side, the nursery have been amazing, flexible to us and accommodating; now little one goes full-time and I know if I am not caring for her then the nursery is the best place.

I couldn't be happier with our experience of Nelly's DSG to date. The staff are all extremely lovely, helpful, friendly and caring - just the sort of people you want to be leaving your small child with! My child settled well when she started and I feel the process was managed well. My child loves going
each day and talks about nursery all the time. I know she is happy there as she strides in ready for a new day of fun every morning.

We have been part of the DSG family since January 2014 when our first daughter joined. We have been extremely happy with DSG and continue to be so. DSG is a wonderfully friendly and caring environment with lovely staff. We have noticed recently new and fun resources being introduced, which is exciting,
offering even more activities. The garden and decking are major highlights of the nursery, as is the fabulous setting in the green sports ground. The staff always offer much care and support to the children and we hugely value the handover, which is given at the end of the day to enable us to hear what the children have done that day.

My son has started settling in the baby room the second week in September. He has shown great interest in the natural resources used in his activities. The staff has welcomed him into the room allowing him to be comfortable and explore at his own pace. I love the fact that he is having healthy cooked
meals for lunch and tea.

I have a 2 and a half-year-old at Nelly's.
He's been attending since he was 10 months old.
There is a wonderful atmosphere in the place.
All the carers are so kind and gentle.
There is a great sense of fun in the place and always lots of toys and activities going on.
Couldn't recommend the place
more.

Nelly's Nursery - DSG provides a wonderful nurturing setting. I have always been very happy with Nelly's, it provides an environment for my daughter to enjoy and flourish. DSG works with children as individuals. My daughter at times found it hard to be left, particularly after a holiday. If her key
worker was not available at that exact moment, there is always someone to support and find an exciting activity for her to engage in, providing that 1 to 1 support she needs for those few minutes.
The staff are lovely, caring and it is clear that high standards are maintained when recruiting. The room leader ensures a warm and welcoming setting, with ever-changing activities. The Nursery managers arrival has seen the introduction of many positive changes, new toys and activities, improved layout and healthier menus.
As a parent, it's wonderful to see an already great nursery further improve. The only thing I would like to see change is the climbing frame, other than that it’s fantastic!
Thank You.

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.
