We have been so thrilled with the care that Partou DSG have given to our 1 year old daughter since she started there a couple of months ago. The staff are wonderful and I fully trust them with our daughter - it makes the world of difference dropping her off knowing that she will get such a good level
of love, care and attention each day. The management is also great, communicative and always receptive to feedback.
I would recommend the nursery to any parent in the area!

Nelly’s DSG is such a friendly and welcoming environment. The staff genuinely care about the children and support them at a personal and developmental level, as well as with more educational aspects such as teaching them numbers and letters.
There is a new activity set up every morning which always
promotes learning, whilst being fun and collaborative. The activities are so varied and imaginative too.
The children are supported to be independent, but they are also encouraged to interact with their peers, helping them to deal with disputes and fostering friendships.
The days are very well structured with the right balance of adult-led activities and free play.
Our daughter loves it at Nelly’s DSG and we feel so confident and content knowing she’s being so well looked after.

Really pleased with the overall experience at Nelly’s Nursery - DSG. From the wide range of activities, that encourage both play and are educational, to the very attentive and patient staff members, who have also supported my child as well as encouraged independence. I really enjoy the 1one-to-one attention
that my child gets when new activities/skills are learned.

We started at Nelly's Nursery DSG in March, my now 2-year-old son had settling sessions for one month and then started full-time. I am grateful to the kind, patient and experienced staff at Nelly's for putting our child's needs first and taking good care of him. We know that he is first and foremost
safe at Nelly's and any issues they see will be raised in person and promptly allowing us to find a solution together. The grounds are safe and there is a lot of space for children to play and run around. Parents collect their children from their rooms, there is great communication with the staff and manager. Our son's language and physical skills have developed very quickly due to all the activities they plan. Thank you!

Very happy with the nursery, my son has been attending for over a month and the manager and the key person has been brilliant at helping him settle in. Very good communication and regular updates are provided to parents. The nursery also has a lovely outside space which my son loves. They do lots of
painting and messy play as well as French classes once a week. Most importantly the staff have all been extremely patient with my son. Highly recommended.

The team in the main room are excellent, all are enthusiastic and allow my child opportunities to develop her own interests and encourage engagement with activities throughout the day. My daughter has thrived - she is confident and a curious learner and enjoys discussing her imaginative ideas with the
adults in her room. Targets for progress/development are realistic but provide a challenge and communicated regularly with home.

The grounds at the nursery were what I really liked at first - knowing my baby would be tucked away from the business of London in this calm and green space. In addition, the staff have been fabulous with caring for cuddling and encouraging my baby.

Our son has been at Nelly's Nursery - DSG for some months and we have been happy with his care there. He seems very excited to see the staff when we drop him off and he is happy when we pick him up. Good communication with staff and management, even during COVID times when we can't go inside. They are
flexible with dietary preferences. I'm happy for them to spend as much time as possible outside (especially now that the weather is improving). They have a good outdoor space, which is a rare thing to find at most nurseries we looked at.

She has always been well cared for by the staff and is very happy there. The communication, especially in the main room, has been excellent and my daughter has had a lot
of support with settling in. I’m very fond of the staff at Nelly's and so pleased we chose DSG.

A wonderful nursery with a lovely environment right next to the fields and very caring staff. Our son has been at Nelly's Nursery - DSG since he was a year old and really loves it. They provide us with regular updates throughout the day so we are happy that he’s happy and having fun whilst we are working.
It’s clear he also learns a lot from being in such a supportive environment as the growth in his confidence and vocabulary has been wonderful to see.

My older child now 5 went to Nelly's Nursery - DSG from the age of 1 till school and now my younger daughter attends there. We feel very lucky to have found such a lovely nursery. Immediately as soon as you walk in, it just has that positive, good feel to it. The staff have always been lovely and kind
to both my children. Any difficult periods the kids had in terms of settling into a new room were managed well till they were no longer an issue. If I had another child, I wouldn’t hesitate to send them there.

This has been my son's first nursery experience and it has been lovely to see him come out of his shell. His speech and communication have improved and he has made lovely friendships with his peers, moreover, he has bonded well with his room leader and key person. I have seen a big change in my son's
behaviourism's since attending the nursery for example at home he was not eating much food, when he started Nelly's Nursery - DSG he was encouraged by staff to eat and the daily routine of seeing the other children eat would help with this also.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.059)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.059) out of 10 for Partou Dulwich Sports Ground Day Nursery & Pre-School 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 6 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 4.903 for Partou Dulwich Sports Ground Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (65 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.903

  • 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 4.156 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Dulwich Sports Ground Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.8 = 0.556

  • 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.
