No, Cecilia was not a daughter of Nest and Osbern. (You're looking at an unsourced web tree; anybody can say anything, and it's best not to use them for the historical tree.)
No medieval sources give the two a child named Cecilia --
furthermore, I see that the site that you link to says that Cecilia married Siward de Arden.
Siward de Arden DID marry someone named Cecilia, but she was not Welsh -- she was from an Old English family, the grand daughter of Aldgyth, according to Wikipedia, though they are not citing sources --
Shakespeareana Genealogica from 1869 says that Siward's wife Cecilia was a Drummond -- https://www.google.com/books/edition/Shakespeareana_Genealogica/rFw...
William Dugdale's Antiquities of Warwickshire, from the late 17th century, gives her name as Cecilia but does not give any family name -- https://quod.lib.umich.edu/e/eebo/A36791.0001.001/1:18.168?rgn=div2...
