My Summary
Nell’s Cuddly Tots
About Me
My name is Nelly Eluwa-Myers & I reside around the Temple Hill area of Dartford with my 16 year old son and husband . I have had my first OFSTED inspection with rating as “GOOD”.
I have a natural aura that endears children to me and I understand how Parents wish to have a motherly care provided for their little ones whilst at work because I have been in a similar situation . For this reason , I look after children with a motherly touch ,updating parents with their child's 'wao' moments through out our day. I also love listening to, encouraging, enabling, engaging and motivating children to learn.
My aim is to ensure that children under my care are safe, fed well with healthy meals and are engaged with simulating activities that can help their daily development . Depending on the weather , we try to do outings at least 2x a week to the nearby parks or to the lakes to feed the ducks and periodically plan farm trips too. I equally do meet up with fellow childminders almost each week.
One of my favourite things to do is potty training as it’s fulfilling to see the children finally learn how to do it.
My Experience
I have a wealth of knowledge from successfully organised summer camps for children age 1-13.
I have worked as a backup childminder too.
I have also worked in a Nursery with an OFSTED inspection as outstanding
I speak English, French & Igbo

I am going to struggle to find the words to explain how amazing Nell and Julie are. Beautiful people inside and out! So caring and attentive; I have always felt very comfortable leaving my daughter in their hands while I had to work. I have also really noticed my daughters development come along since starting here back at the beginning of February; her speech and manners are amazing for a 2 year old, saying please and thank you without being prompted - which I think I have to thank Nell for!
You can tell that they truly care about all of the children in their care; they feed the children nutritious food, trips out, lots of different activities throughout the day (keeping you updated with pictures and messages) and are always present and available. A beautiful, clean setting for my child to thrive in! And that's why it makes me so sad having to take my daughter out of Nell and Julie's care due to us moving house/area.
Nell has truly been a blessing to our family and I am so glad we found her! Not only has she helped me look after my daughter but I have made a friend for life. I highly recommend!!!

Hi Lottiexo,
Thank you ever so much for this honest review and this gets me very emotional because we only said hello a few months ago and now it’s time to say goodbye 😔
I feel so privileged to have looked after ur princess . I am so glad to see her development in all areas and wish you all the best with ur house move. Please send me photos from time to time especially when she gets into reception too 😊
Good luck with everything 🙏
I visited from Canada and had to put my boy in the daycare. Nells Cuddly Tots was the closest to me. My boy had a great experience with Nells. They took good care of him.

Aww thank you Dr Nike for entrusting us with ur child for 4 weeks. Shame he’s leaving now when his new friends have started to bond with him . We hope to see you again when next you visit 🙏
Our little one has been going to Nelly's since he was 7 months. Nelly made us feel so comfortable with her erradicating all the uncertainties we had. Our son looks forward to attending. While in Nelly's care she sends photos and videos of their activities which is always really nice to see. Her place is also very nice and clean.
This is home away from home and would highly recommend.

Thanks Carolyne for trusting me with ur little one from that age , it’s been an absolute pleasure watching him blossoming into an independent toddler these days .
We had to find a new childminder on a short notice and wow I cannot explain what a gem we have found in Nelly and Julie. Nelly provides a loving and warm environment and so many opportunities for learning. She does circle time and sings songs with them, arts and crafts, outside play and more. When I picked my son up I could always tell that he had had an amazing day. I also appreciated how much she kept me updated with little videos as well as a diary! Unfortunately, we have moved away now but I will forever be thankful for finding Nelly.

Aww this melts my heart ♥️
So happy to have been a part of your little boys life even just for those 6 weeks.
Thank you so much for trusting me with you child 🙏
Nelly and Julie have made us feel so reassured with leaving our little boy in their care. They give us regular updates on how he is throughout the day and a written log at the end of the day of what he's done and eaten etc. The house is so well equipped for children and a safe and fulfilling environment. All the children are happy and thriving and it's clear to see! Thank you Nelly!

Oh wao Kiri & Boran,
This review comes as a pleasant surprise 😳😄.
So lovely to meet you both; taking care of Roman is easy and we are glad to look after him.
Thanks so much for trusting me with ur previous jewel 🙏🙏
I was so happy when I found Nelly! When you meet her, you immediately feel an overwhelming sense of calm and warmth! Her care and love for my 2.5 year old daughter (and all the kids) is just wonderful to see. Nelly teaches them, gives them outdoor adventures and always provides amazingly smelling home-cooked food.
My daughter has a lovely bond with Nelly and when we’re at home and at the weekend sometimes, my daughter calls me Nelly.
I highly recommend her service.

I read this with smiles especially the line that says ‘amazingly home-cooked food’
Thank you so much for trusting your daughter with me 🙏
Nelly has been amazing, our youngest is currently there and enjoying it, our eldest recently left for Nursery and is very much missing it.
Nelly always cooks tasty meals and the kids always come home clean and tidy. Nelly does lots of engaging and stimulating activities with them every day, and often takes them out on little adventures.
Highly recommend!

My son started with Nelly when he was 9months old and he has been in her care since then. I returned to work with confidence knowing fully well that he is being looked after. Nelly is so good at what she does and all the children love her! She provides regular updates with photos & videos and the children enjoy fun activities all year round. There’s this aura she exudes that makes everyone feel happy & confident around her. I can recommend her over and over again.

I am so pleased to read this review. We will continue to look after your little one in the best possible way
My 2 yr old daughter has been at this setting for around 5 months now and she loves it. She settled in straight away and has formed great relationships with Nelly and the other children there. She has also come on leaps and bounds with her communication, learning and potty training. I know she is in very safe and capable hands.
