We are Opening The Doors to Our Amazing Nursery Join Us for Our Open Week In May

Testimonials

Take a look at what the parents of the children in our care have to say about Turney Road Day Nursery. We hope you’ll find these reviews of our nursery in Dulwich useful.

My daughter has been attending Nelly’s since April 2019. The settling in period was very well thought out and helpful – making her transition into two full days a week much easier. Her key worker is lovely, as are all the staff in the baby room, working together to provide a caring environment for the children. The nursery is suitable for parents that are looking for a home from home environment.

Emily W (Mother of Child)

We couldn’t be happier after our son’s first month at Nelly’s Nursery. From day 1 of settling in, Nelly’s has felt like a second home. The staff are so welcoming, gentle and loving (both to the babies and parents!) and have made us so comfortable in the knowledge that our son is getting the best care. He is so happy at drop off and pick up and is developing so well and learning so much. The structure and routine is perfectly balanced and the activities and facilities are wonderful. We feel very lucky. Thank you Nelly’s!

Josephine S (Mother of Child)

Lovely nursery – have had our daughter there since she turned one and never had a day of worry. Her key worker is unbelievably fantastic and has been helping her grow into a lovely little being who is calm, considerate and caring – attributes which we’d love to believe are natural but are have undeniably been also formed by her interactions with others of her age group at Nelly’s and those that care for them there. Cannot say enough good things about this nursery.

F Y (Mother of Child)

We’ve been very happy with Nelly’s for our two children. They’ve had wonderful key workers who the boys have grown very close to, helped with their development, and kept us updated a lot with their progress at pick-up and via Tapestry online. Hours of 7:30 to 6:30 are very helpful for us as both working parents.

Tristan (Father of Child)

Our little boy loves the nursery since the beginning. He has attended Nelly’s Nursery for over a year now.He is happy being there and has developed a close relationship with staff and other kids. We are very happy with the care provided and feel he is in good hands when we leave him every morning

Fani K (Mother of Child)

My daughter has been very happy at Nelly’s. She has been there since she was 10 months old and I felt she learnt a lot in the baby’s room and the staff there genuinely cared for her and her development. Nelly’s was very supportive of my daughter when her new sibling arrived and during her transition to the “big kid’s” room where they continue to encourage her to learn and discover new things. I like that they encourage a collaborative approach with parents

Katie M (Mother of Child)

What Our Parents Say

Very talented and caring staff. My son really loved this nursery. He learnt a lot in all aspects from communication, relationship building, being independent, to learning maths, shapes, letters, word, sentences etc. Really pleased with the development. Thanks to all the lovely staff, you are all the best.

Vaibhav H (Father of Child)

My daughter has been in the nursery since the Baby Room. It has been an incredible journey. Now she is in the pre-school and every day she is excited to go to the nursery. She loves the staff, her key worker, the other kids, the setting (especially the garden). She really enjoys all the activities organised through the week/day. She enjoys and has fun while learning. The staff encourage and support multilingual families making the kids feel proud they can speak more than one language. Now the staff are also getting her ready to go to school this September. The staff have always been amazing, very approachable, flexible and caring.

B C (Father of Child)

The staff are so kind and caring, they all know my daughter even those in different rooms. She skips in to see them every day and they are as excited as me when she does new things. It's a home away from home.

H G (Mother of Child)

I can't thank the staff enough for giving me peace of mind when my child is with them. The number and variety of activities each day is amazing and the fact they manage to get in the garden or go on trips - even in winter is fantastic. My child's development is streets ahead of his peers who don't attend nursery.

S H (Mother of Child)

The nursery has a lovely nurturing and vibrant atmosphere which my son loves. There is plenty of space for him to explore and learn via the vast range of toys and equipment they have. I know he is well cared for. I am always well informed and I work together with the nursery staff to give my son the best possible experience.

Claire F (Mother of Child) 

The care, consideration and attention my son receives is exemplary. Staff pay attention to his strengths and weaknesses and verbalise them to us and ideas for developing them are implemented. All staff demonstrate an excellent attitude and have excellent relationships with their designated children.

A D (Father of Child)

The staff were warm, caring and professional and the facilities are great. We felt like our daughter was part of a big family. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all working there.

E S (Mother of Child)

I have been impressed by the level of care given to my son since he started. The daily warm welcome of the staff makes both children and parents alike feel at ease. Seeing the smile on my boy's face as we drive into the car park is proof enough for me that the team are doing something right.

Alexander M (Father of Child)

My little girl has recently started and is absolutely loving her time at nursery. The settling in sessions were brilliant and really helped put my mind at ease, especially with me starting back at work. The ladies in the Baby Room are super friendly and enthusiastic and I can't thank them enough for their support in what could have been quite an emotional rollercoaster.

G W (Mother of Child)

Once I drop my son off into the Baby Room, I feel he's as safe and as well looked after as I do at home.
