    He has developed such self‑assurance and social skills since he has been attending Nelly’s. He clearly has an incredible bond with the team and I sense so assured when I see his beaming smile when they open the door to him every morning. His discovering, speech and all-round development have come on leaps and bounds and I’m so pleased I chose to send him to Nelly’s Lancaster Avenue. Nelly’s Childcare centre has brought out the very best in my son.

    Our toddler loves the garden and looking forward to our daughter starting in the baby room soon.
    In particular, we have liked and been impressed by:
    – quality (and retention) of team!
    – range of activities (including some extras like French)
    – the way different themes or world festivals are celebrated
    Very much feels like it’s an extension of home and our toddler is consistently excited to go and to see his friends each day. Inviting and welcoming atmosphere, it’s very much a big Nellys family!

    The team are remarkable, there is a very great longevity of key carers and so care feels consistent and dependable. The kids are occupied with a variety of activities and are outside as much as possible when the weather permits. We also like that the objects they playtime with are natural and everyday items and there’s lots of reading. There are lots of photos and great updates. Lastly, we are so grateful for the hours that Nelly’s operates – we rarely use the extra 30 mins either end of the day than other nurseries (nelly’s is 7.30-6.30) but it is very useful to have and makes those more stressful work days less so! My only criticism would be maybe a few more outings outside of the childcare centre but they do music classes, etc. in-house so all in all lots are offered. Our son loves Nelly’s and runs in eagerly every morning to see his friends and carers.

    They are like an extended family, consistently there to welcome him with a smile and cuddle. He has settled in so easily, and this has made our journey as parents so much better. The early discovering development side of things is outstanding, with his dedicated care worker liaising with me regularly to update and share his development. It’s incredible to see how he is has grown as a little person over the past few months. The setting is fab – particularly the fantastic garden, with its separate exploring areas. I adore seeing daily pictures of what they have been up to! I sense so cheerful with the childcare centre setting – it’s safety, security and promotion of a kid’s well-being. The team team is fantastic – and my son is genuinely excited to see them at the start of the day. I am so cheerful to choose Nelly’s Lancaster – a home from home. As the first childcare centre our son has attended, Nelly’s have been the dream!

    My kid has attended since 5 and a half months (now almost 3 years).
    Excellent key worker (and buddy) system for your kid. All of the carers are incredibly inviting. Lots of hugs and cuddles. They really got to know my kid at all stages of her development (likes/dislikes/her personality). Not just ‘basic care’. The kids are just ‘cheerful’ and a real community vibe. My kid considers the carers to be her friends too.
    They put a lot of thought into their activities and the ‘learn by playtime’ model. The garden is such an incredible resource too!
    Very organised. Consistently respond to emails within the day. No ask is too big/small. Outstanding with information and precautions during Covid.
    My kid has grown up with Nelly’s, is so excited each morning to attend, and come out beaming. Am sure that certain of her best traits (compassionate, attentive, cheerful, personable, curious etc) have been amplified in their setting. Couldn’t suggest the childcare centre highly enough.

    There is every and any activity to do, especially in the outstanding outdoor space. We sent our eldest to Nelly’s too and they flew through potty training and the early stages of identifying letters and writing with the assistance of the fantastic team. We have two curious, cheerful and independent kids – and the fantastic Nelly’s team have been a major part of that. The setting at Nelly’s Childcare centre is that of a second home, my kid grins when we reach the doors and is sad to leave at the end of the day.

    Incredible team members who have a attentive attitude and a lot of heart. Our daughter’s excitement about attending this Childcare centre is tremendous. Our daughter’s key person truly works hard to keep us informed about our daughter’s daily development and childcare centre activities. A secure, enjoyable, and attentive setting with high standards are priorities for the new management.

    The outdoor space is exceptional and was a really important factor for us in selecting a childcare centre. All the team have been really accommodating of our daughter’s individual needs including managing her allergies, supporting her signing and her early potty training. We are thrilled with the care that Nelly’s Childcare centre have given to our daughter, from the first day we visited we felt so trusting of the manager and all the team, and our daughter absolutely loves it.

    He has since been going to the childcare centre part time for the last 2 months. In the beginning there were tears at drop off. However, the team were consistently so welcoming and attentive and it was not long before he stopped crying and was enjoying an activity. Now he happily goes to childcare centre with a smile on his face. He even seems excited to say goodbye at drop off!
    The team are all lovely and make a huge effort – especially my son’s key worker with whom he has a special bond.
    The childcare centre has excellent facilities. The indoor rooms are large with lots of light and the garden is spacious and has a mud kitchen to get messy in. The childcare centre management are exceptional, they are approachable and consistently available. Our son started childcare centre earlier in the year, shortly before lockdown.

    When searching for a suitable childcare centre for my kid I had concerns. We visited numerous nurseries in our local area and by far Nelly’s was most suitable for us. We booked a tour and had the best journey we instantly signed up once we got home. The team and management where very accommodating from the moment we enter the building. My kid now attends this childcare centre and daily she comes home very cheerful. We receive daily updates via the portal which I must say I am extremely pleased with, as I am able to see the development of my kid. My personal journey has been incredible so far, from the location to the professionalism of all team.

    We have felt able to depend on the team as our own kid has developed. We initially chose Nelly’s because of the facilities, nowhere else had such a fantastic outdoor space. But it has become an essential part of our son’s growth and the challenges he has overcome with their guidance. It is a nurturing space, with a joy for discovering through friendship and the natural setting. Nelly’s has been a source of reassurance for us as a family.

    The facilities are fantastic and the team have all been so inviting and welcoming. After an initial settling in period, our daughter now happily walks into the childcare centre every morning, excited to go playtime with all the exciting activities they have set up for her (all of which are posted to the app every day so we can see what she is up to). I adore the pictures we get to see of her enjoying her time and discovering new activities (we also get updates on what she ate, when she slept and her nappy changes). She loves the garden and playing in the dirt kitchen and I can just see how much stimulation she is receiving there. Her self‑assurance has grown immensely since joining the childcare centre. It’s been so important to us, especially during Covid, that she builds relationships with other adults and kids and so it’s excellent to see her bonding with her key person and other team. My 16-month-old daughter has been attending Nelly’s Childcare centre Lancaster Avenue for nearly 3 months and I can’t suggest it enough.

    She emerged as a confident, secure and very cheerful kid with a adore of discovering. She developed excellent social skills at childcare centre and has left with a fantastic friendship circle. The team are attentive, supportive and have done a fantastic job of helping the kids to share, collaborate and be mindful of others’ feelings. The long opening hours are very supportive for working parents, and the outdoor garden area (including the beloved pod which turns into Santa’s grotto at Xmas) is a real asset. The menus are healthy and varied. Our little girl was well supported through a challenging period of weaning and her food allergies were well looked after. As a service manager myself, I found the childcare centre’s approach to Covid management to be careful and accommodating and communications throughout (including about risk assessments and changes to protocol) were great. I would thoroughly suggest the childcare centre to you. Our little girl joined Nelly’s at 9 months and stayed until she started school this month.

    In addition to the incredible team, the activities that the kids are able to partake in and the large outside space creates a exceptional setting for kids to thrive in. Current childcare centre management are incredible as are the exceptional team that care for the kids day to day, there is a true sense that all of the team truly care for the wellbeing and development of the kids.

    All the team are welcoming, compassionate and attentive. My daughter settled in so well and thoroughly enjoys going, she seems to have lots of enjoyable! I would highly suggest Nelly’s Lancaster Avenue to anyone considering it. I couldn’t be happier with Nelly’s Childcare centre.

    The building and the outside space is lovely. I can’t imagine a childcare centre with a better garden, with so much space, a mud kitchen, slide, summer house and huge sandpit. However it is not the outstanding building and the facilities but the team that make Nelly’s so magical. Somehow they make looking after all the kids look so easy and the setting just feels inviting and calming. The activities offered look so much enjoyable. I have 22 month old twin boys and I can see just how much they adore the freedom to playtime and explore but also how secure and secure they sense in the setting at Nelly’s. There’s dress up, baking, messy playtime and so much more. I sense confident when I leave for work, that my boys are in the absolute best care and the peace of mind that provides me with is so valuable. I would suggest them fully to any prospective parent looking at nurseries in the area. Nelly’s Childcare centre – Lancaster Avenue is an incredible childcare centre.

    Both my kids attend part-time and they adore it there. I have been particularly impressed by the assistance provided to my daughter as she recently settled into the baby room. She adores her key worker, who seems very tuned in to her needs and interests. Were it not for the (very) high price per day, I would, without question, rate Nelly’s as outstanding in every category. Nelly’s offers remarkable care and a secure, enjoyable and hurting setting.

    Right from the start and my kid’s settling in period, the team have been so welcoming and welcoming. They really took their time to get to know her and she settled quickly. I sense confident each day she is dropped off that she is in the safest hands and she seems to have a lot of enjoyable. The menu is varied and nutritious and updates from the team is outstanding. I can’t say enough great things about Nelly’s at Lancaster Avenue.

    She settled so quickly into life in the baby room and is very cheerful to attend each day. All the team are so welcoming and attentive and I sense like they know my daughter well, she particularly loves her key person! The rooms are bright and spacious and the childcare centre provides a secure and stimulating setting. The quiet, enclosed garden is my daughter’s favourite place to playtime. We’re very cheerful with our decision to send her to Nelly’s. My daughter has been at Nelly’s for two months now and she absolutely loves it there.

    She is very cheerful going in every morning and even on days that she is off, it feels like her second home. The team and managers are nurturing and supportive and they provide her with so much attention and positivity. I have been giving excellent feedback on eating habits and updates. I will highly suggest Nelly’s Lancaster to anyone looking for a childcare centre. My daughter has been attending Nelly’s Childcare centre for almost a year now.
