Nurtured @ Chell is situated on Bidulph road, close to areas such as Packmoor and Tunstall.

The team pride themselves on their sustainable approach. Learning how to offer more kindness in the world, especially learning how doing good things for others can feel good. There is a special focus on wellbeing, learning how to understand big feelings and how to regulate them and learn how to build resilience. Their kindness begins with the little ones, but the same approach is offered to parents & the team too. The fully qualified team are incredibly supportive and they are passionate about building positive relationships. The fun starts in nursery, but there are some lovely green urban routes to explore, the children can enjoy nature at its best, during walks and forest school activities. The outdoor play area is small but mighty, housing a rowing boat, mud kitchen and bug hotel. They have library visits, amongst many other trips and a a wonderful selection extra curricular activities to choose from. They offer intergenerational care, singing, wood work and they love spending time with the older generation of Chell, reducing feelings of isolation and loneliness. Stay & play sessions are available for parents who don't attend the nursery, this allows for 'stay at home parents' to develop those all important early interactions, language development and social skills for little ones.

They would love for you to come and visit to see the friendly atmosphere first hand. The children are at the heart of everything. The team support each individual to discover their unique learning journey, enabling all children to reach their full potential.

Highly recommend this nursery! The staff are always easily approachable and update me regularly via the app, they also take special care to explain to each parent at pick up how their child has been throughout the day. The staff always listen to your concerns and will help in any way they can. The variety
of food for meals and snacks is great and also the activities throughout each day. My son has developed so many skills since attending.

This nursery has helped my daughter so much, she started in September 2023, she had lots of settling-in sessions to help her get to know the staff and her room.
All of the ladies are welcoming and always on hand to help with anything, my daughter does need additional support and everyone has been
really supportive in explaining everything step by step making it less stressful. Definitely recommend this nursery.

Transitioning to a new nursery has been hard for my little boy, learning new faces and a new setting. But the staff have made it so easy. Plenty of settling-in sessions to ease him in, the staff have been lovely, and he formed a good bond with his new key worker so quickly!

Since my little boy started in January, he has come on so much. He was very unsettled to start with as he had only ever been with family members, his key worker worked really well with him, and he now has such a good bond with her. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Amazing nursery, always looking after our son, always communicative when needed. Our son absolutely loves the nursery, even though he’s upset after leaving mum and dad.
He has great relationships with key workers and always says bye individually before leaving! Thank you.

My little boy started Nurtured in Chell in March. The staff are lovely and welcoming and helped with 15-hour funding application. Everything was sorted quickly and efficiently and my little boy was booked in for taster sessions, he settled in very quickly with no upset (he didn’t want to leave) and
was able to start the fully funded sessions the following week. The app they use is brilliant and keeps you fully updated with your child’s progress and other news that’s happening within the setting. I feel confident when leaving my little boy that he is well taken care of and happy and would recommend using the nursery to anyone looking for childcare.

I enrolled my son in September 2023, some of my older children came to this nursery so I was already familiar with the friendly staff. They knew that I had never enrolled any of my children as young as I did my youngest and knew how anxious I was. They were so reassuring and supportive, not just for
my child but myself also. My child soon settled in their nursery, his knowledge and development is absolutely fantastic, thanks to the team. They will always go above and beyond where they can for their children and the parents. If I could give more stars to rate I would! Well done!

A great place for my son, where I know he will be looked after. As a mum with panic disorder is hard to trust people with my son, but from the first day visiting the nursery they have made it easy for me and given me the assurance I needed. My little boy is happy having new friends to play with and
I'm happy for the support the nursery provides to us, the security and happy with the daily updates to.

Great nursery.
My son has attended since he was six months old. And although now five and at school, he still returns every school holiday for the holiday club.
He has always loved attending.
Throughout his years there, he has moved through each room and enjoyed them all equally.
The staff and
management team are amazing.

I would highly recommend this nursery - I think it's amazing. The staff are really friendly and welcoming and always very approachable. Always easy to reach via phone or by messages on the app. I get regular updates on my child's progress and activities. After every day I get told what they've eaten
and what they've been up to. My boy loves going, and I never worry how he's going to be during the day. He used to hate his old nursery, so to see him go here and come home with the biggest smile on his face. The staff are brilliant with him always regular, always smiling, always happy. The meals they have are brilliant, like a home away from home - my boys always have seconds. The settings are just like home, and they have lots of activities and things set up - they play with everything from dinosaurs to dolls to dress up. The extracurricular activities are also brilliant, like a cooking class, gardening, forest school and woodwork, and soon they are putting on language class. Definitely recommend it to others.

My daughter has been attending Nurtured since November when she was nine months old, and I am nothing but impressed with everything from the staff, and the food to how great her development is coming along. I feel like she is way ahead of where she should be for a 1-year-old, and I do feel that is all
thanks to Nurtured.
The staff keep me updated throughout the day and are always on hand for any questions or queries we have. My daughter is nothing but happy to go to nursery, her face lights up as soon as I get her out of the car, and some days she doesn't even want to leave by clinging to her keyworker!
All in all, this is a great nursery. Thank you for making me feel better about being at work and not at home with my little girl, as I know she is in great hands!

Enrolling my son into a nursery was a daunting task as he was such a mummy’s boy! The nursery gave him plenty of settling-in sessions to make the transition easier! The staff are super friendly and have your child’s best interests. Since starting at the nursery, I have noticed my son is developing so
quickly! The offer for the extra curriculum is fab, and the yearly diary is really helpful! Thank you, baby room!

After being so attached to your very loving two-year-old it's a big transition for not only the child but the parent too. I can't thank the staff enough for the patience they have, my son struggled to settle at first within a month he has come on leaps and bounds within his confidence, I can't believe
how much he has come on I couldn't have done it without the support from the staff. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching my little flower blossom each day, he has learnt so much already, best decision I made sending him, lovely calm atmosphere.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.942)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.942) out of 10 for Nurtured @ Chell is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.942 for Nurtured @ Chell is calculated as follows: ( (519 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 548 Ratings = 4.942

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nurtured @ Chell is based on 46 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 46 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
