Nellys Nursery Turney Road Day Nursery's Outstanding Ofsted Rating Logo

My name is Liz Harris, and I am the Manager here at Nelly’s Turney Road.

Having worked in the childcare industry since 1997, I recently celebrated my twentieth anniversary here at Nelly’s Turney Road where I have gained my qualifications in Childcare and Education.

Working with children is my passion as there is nothing better than seeing them develop and grow through care and play. I believe that children develop best when they are most comfortable which is why I strive to deliver a ‘home away from home’ experience by creating partnerships with parents across the setting.

I have a calm and friendly nature, a big smile and will always go above and beyond to ensure my team provides the highest levels of childcare.

I look forward to meeting with you.

Liz   -   Nursery Manager

Turney Road nursery is the smallest building in our group of nurseries in Dulwich, situated in a beautiful detached Victorian house packed with original features making it feel homely and cosy throughout.

Although compact the outdoor space has been expertly designed to make the most of the space; providing many unique features including a wonderful water pump, large sandpit and climbing area creating a haven in which children are encouraged to explore and learn.

We would love to show you around Nelly’s Nursery Turney Road and introduce you to the team.

What Our Parents Say

Very talented and caring staff. My son really loved this nursery. He learnt a lot in all aspects from communication, relationship building, being independent, to learning maths, shapes, letters, word, sentences etc. Really pleased with the development. Thanks to all the lovely staff, you are all the best.

Vaibhav H (Father of Child)

My daughter has been in the nursery since the Baby Room. It has been an incredible journey. Now she is in the pre-school and every day she is excited to go to the nursery. She loves the staff, her key worker, the other kids, the setting (especially the garden). She really enjoys all the activities organised through the week/day. She enjoys and has fun while learning. The staff encourage and support multilingual families making the kids feel proud they can speak more than one language. Now the staff are also getting her ready to go to school this September. The staff have always been amazing, very approachable, flexible and caring.

B C (Father of Child)

The staff are so kind and caring, they all know my daughter even those in different rooms. She skips in to see them every day and they are as excited as me when she does new things. It's a home away from home.

H G (Mother of Child)

I can't thank the staff enough for giving me peace of mind when my child is with them. The number and variety of activities each day is amazing and the fact they manage to get in the garden or go on trips - even in winter is fantastic. My child's development is streets ahead of his peers who don't attend nursery.

S H (Mother of Child)

The nursery has a lovely nurturing and vibrant atmosphere which my son loves. There is plenty of space for him to explore and learn via the vast range of toys and equipment they have. I know he is well cared for. I am always well informed and I work together with the nursery staff to give my son the best possible experience.

Claire F (Mother of Child) 

The care, consideration and attention my son receives is exemplary. Staff pay attention to his strengths and weaknesses and verbalise them to us and ideas for developing them are implemented. All staff demonstrate an excellent attitude and have excellent relationships with their designated children.

A D (Father of Child)

The staff were warm, caring and professional and the facilities are great. We felt like our daughter was part of a big family. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all working there.

E S (Mother of Child)

I have been impressed by the level of care given to my son since he started. The daily warm welcome of the staff makes both children and parents alike feel at ease. Seeing the smile on my boy's face as we drive into the car park is proof enough for me that the team are doing something right.

Alexander M (Father of Child)

My little girl has recently started and is absolutely loving her time at nursery. The settling in sessions were brilliant and really helped put my mind at ease, especially with me starting back at work. The ladies in the Baby Room are super friendly and enthusiastic and I can't thank them enough for their support in what could have been quite an emotional rollercoaster.

G W (Mother of Child)

Once I drop my son off into the Baby Room, I feel he's as safe and as well looked after as I do at home.
