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.

Absolutely amazing nursery. The staff go above and beyond for the little ones in their care - from the moment my son had his first settler sessions, they’ve made sure that he’s comfortable and settled in to the nursery. The app is regularly updated, so you can check how they’re doing when you have a
spare minute at work, which works really well for us. I’m so happy with how settled my little boy is - he always comes home happy when he’s been to nursery.

Brilliant nursery, my daughter loves it here, brilliant communication from them regarding daily activities, meals, naps and toileting. I couldn't ask for more. The staff often talk to me about her personality traits, it's so reassuring that they are really paying attention to the children's individual
needs and actively arrange activities to suit them. Brilliant!

Nurtured Chell are a lovely welcoming nursery. We felt very relaxed leaving our daughter with them. They did amazingly when she first started here, and there is no bad experience so far. They make you feel at ease each time we drop off and pick up and always keep us up to date throughout the day with
notifications of nappy changes etc, which we find very useful for when we collect. Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since being here and she is on target in all development areas.

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery and she adores the staff who work with her. Since day one they have been very approachable and have met my daughter's specific needs. They listened to what the hospital had advised and made sure the guidance was followed. I would 100% recommend this nursery.

An ideal location for my daughter with various activities to encourage development. A tailored experience to adapt to our child's interests and needs. Most importantly, she feels safe and happy and enjoys every second of her time there. Additional courses are available that also help support development,
some of which are free and great support where needed.
I wouldn't take my daughter anywhere else.

Amazing nursery. I have had my twins at this nursery since they were very little. The nursery has supported us throughout their development with how to help them progress. They communicate with us very well about the childrens day and what they've enjoyed doing. I always feel comfortable asking questions
to the staff. The staff are lovely and caring and very, very approachable. Highly recommend this nursery!

My daughter is in the toddler room, which she loves, and has developed her speech a lot. I love the online app that shows me my child's day, and all the staff are lovely and always do activities to include the parents.

I would recommend this nursery. My daughter has been going here for over a year now, and she is developing very well with all the support the staff give her. She loves to go, she goes straight in without crying, and she loves all the staff there. So glad I put my child into this nursery.

My daughter was 9 months old when she started Young Explorers; she's now almost 11 months and absolutely loves it! The lovely staff helping her to settle in so well has made the anxiety of going back to work after maternity so much better. Apart from the odd day, she absolutely beams at whoever answers
the door to take her inside, and you can see how excited she is to start playing. I'm always checking the app to see what she's eating, etc, and I love seeing photos of all the fun she's having! I would recommend this nursery to anyone; seeing how happy it's made my daughter spending time there is amazing.

Staff are always friendly and welcoming. My eldest child has loved every minute at Young Explorers, especially with one lady. My youngest is starting full-time next week after plenty of settling-in sessions to make sure she is settled. Overall, a wonderful setting where as parents, we feel comfortable
leaving the children. Any queries we have had have always been answered quickly and effectively.

Wonderful nursery. All staff are very helpful. The new app has been created to help with communication where we are updated daily, pictures are shown of the activities of the children, and we also get all invoices through here. Nothing is too much trouble, and my little boy has been there for nearly
two years and loves it.

My children have been attending since April, and they love it. My daughter had severe separation anxiety, and the staff here dealt with this amazingly well. My daughter now really looks forward to going to nursery and always comes out smiling and can't wait to tell me what she has been doing that day.
My son is in the baby room, so can't tell me anything yet, but he seems to love it too. The staff are brilliant at picking up when the children are unwell or need extra support in certain areas. I don't have anything bad to say. The toys are amazing, the activities are very well thought out, and I would recommend the nursery to anyone needing a place for their child.

Our little one has settled in amazingly and come on leaps and bounds since starting. She loves all the staff and happily goes in without a fuss. We get regular updates on the app with pictures of activities, and that really helps reassure us that she's okay! We are so happy with the nursery and everything
they do to aid in our child's development. We would recommend to anyone.

The staff are excellent at handling children and very friendly to parents. They take their duties and responsibilities with kindness and empathy. The food is good, and you can tell my child is happy there. I will recommend your nursery to anyone who wants a place for their children without a doubt.
All queries are handled with the utmost sincerity and openness. I will rate this nursery with not less than four stars and some five stars as well.

My daughter started nursing in April this year. Due to my daughter being a lockdown baby, she was very shy, emotional and quiet at the beginning of the first few months. The staff welcomed my daughter with open arms, and they supported my daughter on a daily basis, giving her so much conform and myslef
when I felt emotional. Since April, my daughter has come such a lobe way with her words and singing and her knowledge has come on stronger than ever. My daughter now looks forward to her bedtime storybook from nursery and sits down and tells me that she's going to go to nursery and make new friends. The nursery reassures me with pictures, messages and phone calls. I appreciate each and every member of staff that make the effort to support my daughter on a daily basis.

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.
