Review of The Cottage Day Nursery Derby from G G (Mother of Child) published on 5 August 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
A brilliant nursery! My twins have been going since they were babies and they have been soo happy here. They have grown and developed and been supported throughout their whole journey.
This is more than a nursery, it feels homely, safe and run by a group of people who really care. I feel so proud of the journey my children have had here and thanks to the lovely team at the cottage.
The staff are lovely, they are genuinely interested in your children.
The nursery itself is lovely, it's separate buildings depending on the age of the child which I love as it doesn't feel scary for the child, huge garden, actual cots for Naptime when they are little, lots of creativeness.

I saw lots of nurseries and this one was by far the best.

Review of The Cottage Day Nursery Derby from C W (Father of Child) published on 31 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been to this nursery since she was 6 months old. I can see her blossoming over the past 3 years from the babies unit all the way to preschool. She has always enjoyed coming to the nursery to play with her friends and also telling me what she has learned each day! The staff has always been very communicative and will help iron out any potential issues (e.g. Diet requirements) really quickly. I highly recommend the nursery.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has attended this nursery for 3 years and we have loved every moment. We are so sad she's now finishing to start school in September. Thank you for creating such a happy, safe and nurturing environment. We couldn't have wished for a better place for our daughter to begin her learning journey.

Review of The Cottage Day Nursery Derby from R M (Father of Child) published on 20 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with our experience at this nursery. The staff show genuine care, kindness, and attention to every child. It's clear that they take the time to get to know each child's individual needs and provide the highest standard of care in a nurturing and supportive environment.

One of the things we've appreciated most is how open and approachable the team are. They work closely with parents, keeping us informed about our child's progress and always welcoming questions, feedback, and ideas. This partnership has given us real confidence that our child is receiving the best possible care.

The nursery is always clean, well-organised, and provides a safe, secure environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. It's reassuring to know our child is happy, well cared for, and excited to attend each day.

We would highly recommend this nursery to any family looking for a caring, professional, and welcoming place for their child.

My child attended this from baby till pre school - I am a very anxious mother who's very happy throughout. She's so well taken care of that we don't have any issues ever. My daughter progressed well and is always looking forward to going to attend the nursery.

Review of The Cottage Day Nursery Derby from M S (Father of Child) published on 10 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with the care and support our daughter receives at this nursery. It truly is a five-star environment with fantastic facilities, excellent learning resources, and brilliant technology that keeps us connected to our child's daily activities and development progress.
The staff and management team are absolutely incredible professional, caring, approachable, and genuinely passionate about the children's wellbeing and growth. Since joining, our daughter's confidence, communication, and overall development have progressed so rapidly, and it's been amazing to see.

As parents, there's nothing more important than knowing your child is safe, happy, and in competent hands, and that's exactly how we feel every single day. We're so grateful for everything the team does and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for outstanding childcare.

Review of The Cottage Day Nursery Derby from Alexandra B (Mother of Child) published on 21 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

As two parents with fast-paced careers, it means more than words can say to know our little girl is so loved, cared for, and happy at nursery each day. Watching her confidence, development, and little personality blossom has been such a joy, and it's all thanks to the warmth, patience, and dedication of the truly wonderful team around her.

The reassurance and peace of mind you give us every single day is invaluable - knowing she is in such safe, nurturing hands makes all the difference.

We are endlessly grateful for the love and care you show her, and for the incredible role you play in these precious early years.

Thankyou, The Cottage.

Overall Experience

The care our children receive at this nursery has been outstanding. The team are so warm, nurturing and genuinely invested in the children. They always have creative, thoughtful activities planned, and our children love attending.

The management team are equally amazing - professional, approachable and incredibly flexible whenever we need to change days or rearrange sessions. Nothing is ever too much trouble. We honestly couldn't be happier and would highly recommend this nursery to any family.

Review of The Cottage Day Nursery Derby from Mariah B (Mother of Child) published on 11 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son was at this nursery for a year until we moved away from the area and I have nothing but praise to give all the nursery staff when he first started going to nursery he was behind in a lot of things other children were doing at his age and within months of being there he was ahead of most! He went from being mute to singing all day and night I absolutely love this nursery and if I was ever to move back to the area would love to come back

Overall Experience

From my Son starting in babies all the way through to preschool his whole experience has been incredible. He has learnt so much and come one with his development so well. The staff are fabulous and look after the children with great care and attention. My son absolutely loves going and I never have issues dropping him off and always happy when I pick him up. He has been set up ready for school well and I have enrolled my daughter to start here when I return to work. Wouldn't consider anywhere else.

Overall Experience

The Cottage Day Nursery is a very caring, nurturing and loving environment. They were so patient and nurturing with our son, guiding him through how to manage big feelings, preparing him for big school all while allowing him to be himself. They also managed his multiple allergies and encouraged and listened to us. When it came to decisions about his care. A wholehearted thank you from us for loving and caring for our spirited, loving boy!

Review of The Cottage Day Nursery Mickleover from Patrice S (Mother of Child) published on 6 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both our boys have attended The Cottage and they both loved it there. They have learned so much during their time there as the activities include so much from numbers to colours, words, songs etc. We were always really impressed with the variety of different activities. Both our boys always skip in excited to see everyone with barley a look back at us. We know they built special bonds there and we appreciate how much they were cared for there.

Review of The Cottage Day Nursery Derby from K C (Mother of Child) published on 8 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending The Cottage Day Nursery since she was just 1 year old. Like many little ones, she found the early days challenging and cried a lot at first. But the baby unit team were absolutely fantastic - they showed such patience, care, and emotional support, helping her settle in gently and feel safe and loved.

Now, at 2 years and 3 months, she's moved into the main nursery and goes in with a big smile, excited to play with her friends. It's such a joy to see how happy and confident she is.

I want to give a huge thank you to every single member of staff at The Cottage Day Nursery. It's all the little things you do - the smiles, the cuddles, the creativity, and the reassurance - that make such a big difference. You've made it so much easier for us as parents to leave our child each day, knowing she's in truly trustworthy and caring hands.

Thank you again for everything.

We've had a wonderful experience with The cottage.

The activities are well thought out - creative play, outdoor time, storytelling, and early learning skills are all balanced beautifully throughout the day. Our child looks forward to going every morning and comes home happy and full of stories about their day. We're so grateful for the warmth and professionalism of the entire team. Thank you for giving our child such a positive and joyful start to their learning journey!
