Our daughter is extremely well looked after by the Nelly's Nursery - DSG team and enjoys going in every day. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the nursery to any parent looking for excellent childcare in the area.

My niece is always happy here and seems to be learning more and more every day. In London, it is hard to find a nursery with such little outdoor space and this has lots. My niece is energetic and this suits her well. If I lived nearer this would be an option for my child.

My son started at Nelly's a few months ago and the staff have been so supportive. They have spent so much time getting to know him, catering to his needs and he is so happy there. His relationship with his key worker is so lovely to see- he is always so happy to see her. The outdoor space is great and
much bigger than many other nurseries in the area. Leaving your child at nursery especially when they are so young can feel daunting but the staff at Nelly's have made it such a smooth transition in such a nurturing environment!

Our son has been at DSG since he was 9 months old. I feel that attending DSG has advanced his development - not only does he learn from other children, but the staff actively use techniques to further his speech and motor skills. During the pandemic, we were well supported by DSG who were responsive
and understanding of a difficult personal circumstance. Our son, who is now in the toddler room, regularly tells us that his keyworkers are his "friends" and I am confident he means it! As well as lovely and experienced staff, the children are fed well balanced and thought-through menus. Their day is structured and full of variety. The outdoor space also means that they can spend a large amount of time outside (which our son loves).

Nelly's Nursery - DSG is a lovely nursery. Our two year old twins started at Nelly's in January and have settled in well thanks to the fantastic care they have received from staff. The children have lots of great toys to play with and each day do creative activities like making play-dough and painting.
One of the reasons we choose Nelly's is the outdoor space and the fact that children aren't cooped up but instead play and do activities with each other outside. The staff have made a real effort to get to know our children and have been great at keeping us updated on how they are doing. Before starting at Nelly's our children had only ever been cared for by me or my husband so starting nursery was a big transition for all of us, however the peaceful atmosphere at Nelly's and the warmth of the staff has made what was a big change feel easier. I would definitely recommend it.

We moved our daughter to Nelly's DSG when she had just turned 2. She had been at another nursery, and our sense was that she hadn't been particularly happy there. It was only, however, on seeing the warmth and generosity of the staff, the efforts they made to make our daughter feel settled, and the
creative energy of the whole environment, that we realised how much she had been missing. Since then, our daughter has been immensely happy: she trots into nursery each day with hardly a backward glance, she has made really good friends and it is evident that she loves all her 'grown-up friends' as well. Our experience has been so good that in spite of moving from the area a few months ago, we have refused to move our daughter (and now our son as well) to a closer nursery!

Fantastic nursery! We moved our kids from another nursery where there were too many issues, but since moving our kids to Nelly's DSG we have had not one complaint! The staff are all very friendly and approachable. The kids are so happy when they go in and even happier when we collect them in the evening!
The nursery staff keep us very well updated about what the kids get up to, how well they eat/sleep etc. I highly recommend this nursery!

The location of Nelly's Nursery - DSG is absolutely perfect, it’s a nice peaceful area surrounded by the sports ground and is really private. We loved the design of the nursery and the fact that every room has a door to the outside meaning that when the weather is nice, all the children can be indoors
or outdoors during many times of the day and it doesn’t just need to be that they have to be moved from upstairs to be able to go outside. I can’t fault the staff in my daughters room. They have put my mind to complete rest with all the communication we have had whether it be through the online portal or phone calls during the day. Thank you so much Nelly's Nursery - DSG.

We could not be more impressed by Nelly’s Nursery - DSG. It is a lovely site and our two-year-old son loves nursery, racing to the door each morning. The variety of activities is impressive and very imaginative. The staff are dedicated, attentive and loving and I’m amazed at how well they know my son,
such as his strengths and what he finds challenging. There is fantastic continuity in my son’s care and he has a strong bond with the staff in his room. This is a happy place with a lovely atmosphere where staff make an effort to get to know parents and siblings and I feel more than confident in the staff.

My daughter started in the baby room in January this year and she’s settled in so well. We put that down to the brilliant care she’s received from the staff and management team at the nursery. My daughter gets so excited to go to nursery in a morning and then waves happily to her friends and the staff
when we pick her up in an evening. We couldn’t be more pleased and would thoroughly recommend the nursery.

Our daughter has attended Nelly’s Nursery - DSG since November 2019 (with a COVID-break from March-August of this year). She absolutely loves nursery and is so happy to go every day. Because of that, and because of the great care she receives, we’re happy to send her. The staff do a great job of making
our daughter feel safe and secure while also encouraging her to grow and learn. Highly recommend!

Nelly's Nursery - DSG has been a wonderful nurturing environment for my daughter. She’s formed excellent relationships with children and staff and always comes home with a huge smile on her face. The outdoor and indoor facilities are great and are set up beautifully for child-led play. I’ve been impressed
with the assessment and feedback process. The food quality is excellent too. The only thing I would like to see more of is more trips outside of the nursery to museums, libraries etc.

Nellys DSG is a wonderful nursery. I really couldn't ask for anymore. Everyone is so friendly and always smiling. Our son is often quite upset at drop off time, but all the staff go out of their way to make sure he settles in after a couple of minutes. They keep me updated on his progress through
phone calls, emails and I can always get hold of someone if I need to. Our son has made lots of friends at nursery and learnt so much.

Their adaptation to the current crisis has been great. Close communication, such positive staff attitudes and our son has been welcomed back in like we have never been away. The meal plans are great and their attention to detail on the health precautions is very reassuring. We are at the sports ground
site and having the playing fields backing directly into the site creates an air of real seclusion and calm.

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.
