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.

After having my childminders closed down by Ofsted, I was left with no childcare. I had to look around and try and find childcare asap. I looked at several nurseries and just felt they weren’t right. I called up Young Explorers and explained my situation, they invited me up the same day with my little
girl, I had a look around, and we both loved it. They had my little girl for some stay and play sessions, and she was able to start the following week, she’s settled in so well and loves all the children and staff. I thought she was advanced for her age already, but even after a short stay here, she seems even more advanced, having not been in a nursery setting before, I was apprehensive as to how she would go in and settle, but she literally walks in happily and comes home telling us how much fun she has had. Lots of fun activities that include the family too. Couldn’t praise the nursery enough and will recommend to everyone who needs childcare. Thanks for doing an amazing job guys!

My son loves coming to his nursery. He loves his teachers and playing with all the other children. Since he started nursery, his talking and general development have come on so well.
Not only do they do a great job looking after my son, they understand that I’m a stressy mum and always keep me informed,
happy to answer any questions and have been understanding when I have been struggling with childcare.

My son has been going to the nursery since he was 10-months-old and even though he only goes once a week, every week he goes straight in with the girls and doesn’t look back! I love the app that they have recently switched to showing photos and updates of what is happening each day, and it’s clear the
children are very loved and happy! Would highly recommend it!

My little one started in September, and in two short months, he has grown so much, from his first day not wanting to socialise with anyone to today knocking on the door to go to nursery.
He loves his nursery days!

Young Explorers Childcare is a really good nursery. My son only started in September, and I can already see the change in him how he's coming on with his speech and cleverness. He loves the children and staff, and he is so comfy here and enjoys exploring different things.
I'd definitely recommend this
place 100%.

My son has been attending Young Explorers since he was 11-months-old. He's now nearly 3. The care he has received for the past 2-years has been so personal and individual to his needs. He's not only looked after, he's educated, cared for and loved. We couldn't ask for better people to be part of our
son's life.

My son started not long ago; nursery staff were very helpful and reassuring during his transition process, he’s never been to nursery before, and he is settling in well.
The facilities are great, and I know I can talk to staff if I have concerns regarding my son.
I’d very highly recommend it.
He
has nutritious meals and snacks whilst there.
They do lots of activities which he really enjoys.

This nursery is lovely. My daughter has been here for 3-years now, from when she was 6-months-old. Will be sad to see her leave in September for school, but this nursery has brought her on loads.
Every time I’ve collected her, she’s loved every minute of being there.
It’s even better now I can see
her daily progress in the new app they have for parents.

Staff are very friendly and approachable. My daughter comes home with a wealth of knowledge and has really had a fantastic enabling environment at her preschool to allow her to blossom. Activities and toys are tailored to children’s interests to ensure learning is fun. Food provided for the children
is always healthy but yummy; even my fussy eater will eat it. Overall, a very pleasant and great place to send your little ones

This nursery has been fantastic from the very start. Our daughter has been poorly on and off with her tonsils for over 12-months, the staff have been amazing and very supportive. The staff are very helpful and fully committed to supporting the children. I would 100% recommend this nursery to all of
my family and friends. I honestly wish I had found them sooner, so my older children could have attended here.

My daughter has been attending Young Explorers for a couple of years now. She started in the baby room and is now in preschool. I have always liked the staff and the way that the nursery is run. She really enjoys going. We had a few issues this time with her moving from the toddler room to the preschool
room, which I think was because she was so settled and had a really good bond with her previous key worker. The staff have been really good with her and helped her settle into the new room, and I feel they have invested a lot of time and effort into making her feel welcome. She is now forming bonds with the staff and children there. Was lovely to see her skipping out this week saying she had a lovely day. Lovely nursery. Would definitely recommend it.

I currently have a daughter that attends Young Explorers, and my eldest daughter also attended until she was three. My younger brother and sister also attended this nursery, and my nephew now also attends too. I have equally had friends bring their children to the nursery. With the amount of people
I know to come through this nursery should speak for itself. The staff are amazing and make you feel safe and comfortable in leaving your children with them. And to say my daughters have thrived in their care would be an understatement. They have come so far in their learning with a huge credit of that from going to Explorers. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone needing childcare.

My daughter struggled to settle in the nursery; she was really upset when I used to leave her. Even though it took her a while to settle, the staff persevered with her and were always friendly, professional and welcoming. She loves coming to nursery now and asks when can she go.

My son has gone here for 7-months roughly; he loves coming here every day. Every day he comes home with a huge smile on his face telling me about the fantastic day he’s had whilst being at nursery! I would 100% recommend this nursery to any parent who feels scared to let their child go to nursery. They
keep you up to date with everything on the app, tell you about the child’s day and make you feel at ease. Since going to this nursery, my son's development has increased massively, and his speech is amazing.

The nursery has been very helpful in the development of my child. Friendly staff, who have created a home away from home for the children and pay good attention to their individual needs. My child is now confident to communicate with others. Thank you to every staff member who has created this family-friendly

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.
