We have four fantastic day nurseries in Dulwich, all part of the Nellys group. Offering outstanding childcare and education for families based in the Dulwich area located at Lancaster Avenue, Rosendale Road, Turney Road and Dulwich Sports Ground.
Each of our nurseries follows our simple ethos — that children should be allowed to be children and the adults who look after them should believe that too.
We pride ourselves on delivering very high-quality childcare in Dulwich and believe that we can do this because we have fantastic facilities, we employ dedicated, fun, caring, inspiring people – and we are all passionate about what we do.
All our sites have impressive indoor environments and great outdoor spaces. All are slightly different in various aspects, which we love because it allows each child to find the perfect fit for who they are and what they need to thrive.

Why choose Nelly’s for your child’s early education in Dulwich?
Our four dedicated Managers all have a minimum of at least 10 years experience of working with children. They, along with their dedicated, passionate nursery teams work hard to get to know your child and your family developing and retaining excellent relationships to benefit your child’s experiences with us. The carefully considered spaces and toys are all planned to offer children amazing opportunities to explore, create, find out, experiment, and learn.
The indoor and outdoor environments at all four of our nurseries in Dulwich have been carefully designed and curated to offer all our occupants the best spaces in which to grow, develop and have fun. We have decorated all our age-specific rooms in a natural colour palette, mindful of creating a warm, welcoming, and calm feeling in each room, without overstimulating young brains with hordes of bright colours. We fill these natural environments with furniture and resources which are generally made of light hardwood, mostly ‘Early Years specific’ Community Playthings items.
Our outdoor environments are similarly mindfully created. Each of the Dulwich nurseries has a different outdoor space – in terms of size and resources, but all of them have open spaces for free play, ride-ons, digging and planting areas to grow herbs and vegetables, climbing equipment, large sandpits, Mud Kitchens, dens and cosy areas, and a Sensory Garden. Exploring the four nurseries’ individual pages will give you more information about the specifics of each nursery’s outdoor environment – they all have their own standout features e.g. Nelly’s Dulwich Sports Ground feels beautifully connected to nature with a huge willow cascading over the garden, which quieter children love, and Nelly’s Turney Road have a particularly impressive climbing area ideal for adventurers.
