Our Summary
About Us
Hi, I am a qualified childminder working together with qualified assistants full time in central Bexleyheath. I have been Ofsted inspected and received an overall GOOD with an OUTSTANDING quality for children's welfare and behaviour.
We are a family run business and run a very warm, friendly and welcoming setting for all parents and children.
I have 16 years experience of working with children of all ages. I am registered with Ofsted and have a diploma in childcare, food hygiene qualifications (which our setting received the highest possible grade), paediatric 1st aid qualified (for myself and all staff), and all staff each has a DBS, I am and advanced in safeguarding. I am also taking a course for Childs Phsycology.
Together we provide a safe learning environment for children of all ages and abilities.
We have excellent facilities with a separate toy room, large living area, separate room for sleep times, large garden with many toys and learning resources i.e bouncy castle, inflatable slides, climbing frames, trampoline, slides cars etc.
We follow the EYFS and their learning requirements and we also provide a daily diary for your child on line using a programme called baby days, you receive regular updates on your Childs development and often receive video clips and lots of photos of your child.
We also offer a school holiday scheme for every school holiday which you can book your child in up to a week before!
We charge £45 a day and fees include, breakfast, lunch and snacks. There is a £2 charge for dinners.

Below are the latest reviews for Nellys. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Nellie has been with Karen and the lovely ladies for just a year and I can only applaud for there hard work and effort they put in with all the children in attendance.
My little girl has even started to eat meat which before I have struggled with since weaning, the variety of foods that are given as evening meal.
I cannot fault this setting, my little Nellie has thrived in everyway. I just love how happy she is here and highly recommend any parents/children looking to view/start with Nellys.

My little boy really enjoys going to Nelly's little elephants. He started when he was 1 and has been there for over a year. He has loved going since the start and is always happy.
Karen, Zoe and all the ladies are lovely and I know they love all of the children they look after.
They do lots of different activities and also get to play outside lots.
I always know my baby is happy and looked after there 🥰

My little boy has been at nelly’s for 3 years, his baby sister has also started there this year!
Over the years Karen & her team have grown into more then just our childminders. They are second parents!
My little boy has struggled with his speech, which is why I kept him with Karen instead of sending him to a school nursery this past year. Karen has fought for us through the local authority to get speech therapy! She does 1:1 sessions with him and has really gone above & beyond to support him and me!
Karen provides me with regular updates on his development and advice on what I need to be doing to help. All Karen’s & her teams hard work is paying off and my little boys speech has not only just improved but his behaviour too since he struggled with his communication.
I honestly can say I do not know more caring, kind and loving people. They are there to give second mummy cuddles when my babies are feeling sad, celebrate their achievements and mould them into fun little people!
Lastly Karen’s home and setting is perfect, she provides a home from home feeling with a separate classroom in her garden. Her garden is full of fun educational experiences for our little ones to explore and learn! Know your children will be happy, loved & safe if you choose Nellys!
I just want to say the biggest thank you, to Karen, Zoe, Claire & Kerry for everything they do for my little monsters!

Our little boy has been going to Nellys since he was 1. He’s 20 months now. From the moment we met Karen we knew this was setting we wanted him to attend. He has a wonderful relationship with Karen, his keyworker Zoe and the rest of the children.
Our boy has developed a true interest in animals and I put this down to Karen’s two dogs and rabbit. Our son is thriving at Nellys and she makes every effort to ensure she communicates with parents about how our child is developing.
