Review from S C (Father of Child) published on 22 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We can't recommend The Chelsea Nursery enough. It's in a great location with excellent facilities for the children (including outdoor space), the food served is healthy and varied and the learning resources are top class - our toddler particularly loves the ballet lessons. The staff are all warm and
caring and the communications through the app are frequent and detailed.
We're very happy that our child is able to grow in such a positive and welcoming environment.

Excellent nursery - our son loves it there, so it's a joy to drop him off every morning. It's small enough so every child is known and loved by the kind teachers.


Great hours, good communication and it doesn't close for half term!

Review from S B (Mother of Child) published on 10 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at The Chelsea Nursery are helping my child settle in with such patience and care. Everyone in the school is nurturing and patient with all the children. The live updates via the app have impressive detail and it's so nice to hear all the activities they've been doing and everything they've
been eating. We feel really connected to our child during their day as a result. The range of activities, lessons and sport is so impressive for a nursery. It's also very rare to find a nursery in RBKC that will allow one's child to nap. We're so happy with our choice!

Review from Meera M (Mother of Child) published on 10 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at the nursery about a year ago, he was just shy of turning 1. I was of course nervous as he felt so young but the teachers were so friendly and very accommodating to our needs. He's now a very confident and outgoing 2-year-old and I can't recommend the nursery enough.
Reply from Lola Gonzalez, Communications Manager at The Chelsea Nursery
Thank you very much for your lovely feedback, Meera. We are delighted to hear we have met your needs as a family and we look forward to continuing to support your son as he grows.

It's a lovely, nurturing nursery with wonderful faculty. My toddler is always so happy in the mornings and is learning so much! She always comes back with a new song that she's learned and is eating more independently.
Reply from Lola Gonzalez, Communications Manager at The Chelsea Nursery
Thank you very much. We are delighted to hear your daughter is happy to come in every morning and achieving the right milestones.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.449)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.449) out of 10 for The Chelsea Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 5 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 4.949 for The Chelsea Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (56 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.949
  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 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Chelsea Nursery is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 25 number of registered child places is 5, which has been reached with 5 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.
