Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started the nursery last September at just over 1yr old. She has progressed so well since starting nursery and constantly coming home having learnt colours, counting, singing and dancing and overall confidence in herself.
The staff at the nursery are brilliant and their passion really
shows through how comfortable and cared for my child is.
I cannot recommend Rock Cottage Nusery enough to anyone thinking about putting their child in this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Rock Cottage for 6 months now since he was 12 months old. Even when I viewed the nursery at 8 months pregnant I always got a warm and friendly welcome from all of the staff and the manager. I attended multiple times with my son before he started full time. Where I met with
the staff and go through everything to ensure he settled in well for my return to work. The daily logs are updated timely and accurately. They constantly message me back if I ask questions. They put on a wonderful range of activities for the children and we attended a lovely light switch on just before Christmas. They seem to reinvest in new things like the new wooden hut for the outside play area and get children outside as much as they can even in the snow! Communication is amazing if you do have concerns or if a child is unwell and security is taken very seriously. I cannot recommend this nursery enough and have recommended it to several other families.

Our daughter started attending the nursery this academic year. She has come on leaps and bounds since joining.


The staff are absolutely brilliant with her and their communication throughout the day via the family app is brilliant.


Our daughter eats really well, is changed and looked after throughout

the day and is always greeted with a smile.


The photos we receive are amazing with her completing her daily activities. She brings home all of her work.


Couldn't recommend them highly enough

Professionally managed nursery with nurturing friendly staff, offering a high stand of personalised care to our son. The nursery offers various different exciting activities on a daily basis which help promote all areas of child development. Staff provide updates throughout the day to us as parents
on the parent app, this is also a great way to communicate if needed during the day.
Our son settled quickly after starting nursery which made it less of a worry when leaving him when I returned to work.

My daughter has always loved this nursery. She goes in happily and has made great relationships with both the adults and her peers. They send regular photo updates so we can see all the amazing things she does there. They also share half termly reviews reporting on your child's progress and targets.
I
would definitely recommend this wonderful nursery!

Review from Natalie H (Mother of Child) published on 5 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with our son's nursery. He attends five days a week in the Baby Blossoms room, and the care he receives is wonderful. The ladies who look after him are so kind, attentive and genuinely caring, which gives us complete peace of mind.


The app is fantastic - we receive live updates

throughout the day on his food, naps and nappy changes, which helps us feel connected to his day. The photos they share are beautiful and really show the range of activities on offer. He especially loves the outdoor sessions.


The building itself is lovely and the outdoor space is fantastic - it feels warm and an inviting place to be.


We feel so lucky to have found such a nurturing and supportive environment for him.

From day one the nursery have been outstanding in helping our daughter gain many new skills. She attends nursery each day with a smile and the rapport she has with the staff is lovely to see - often mentioning names.
The nursery always keep everyone updated and through the family app give us an insight
into her daily activities.
The outdoor space at the location is an added bonus and certainly recommend this nursery to anyone considering it!

Our experience with Rock Cottage Nursery has been exceptional. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in every child's development. Both of our boys have thrived in such a caring, safe, and engaging environment, and it's clear how much effort goes into creating fun, structured learning
every day. Communication with parents is excellent, and the atmosphere always feels welcoming and supportive. We honestly wouldn't consider sending our two boys anywhere else. Rock Cottage Nursery has set the standard for what a nursery should be, and we feel very lucky to be part of it.

Lovely nursery, highly recommend, staff are so friendly & welcoming and always know children's names even when they've moved onto a new room.
Staff keep you updated on the app throughout the day & always message/send a photo to say your child has settled if they've been upset during drop off.
My
children love coming to nursery/pre school.

My daughter started at Rock Cottage in September 2025 after having some lovely transition days. Since starting she's has come on leaps and bounds developmentally and socially. Every day that she attends she has the best time and I love seeing the updates on the app. I particularly love the range of
activities they offer the children and how the staff really get to know the children All of the staff are so friendly and make you feel very welcome. The staff in the Baby Blossom room are fantastic! I wouldn't want her attending any other nursery.

This nursery is a lovely setting with staff who truly treat your children as if they were their own. They genuinely celebrate every milestone and always want the very best for each child in their care. The regular updates on their progress are so reassuring, and the daily photos are such a special bonus
- it's wonderful to see what they've been up to each day. We couldn't be happier with the care and support they provide.

Our little girl settled so well at the nursery due to how lovely the ladies are. Lucy in the baby room was especially lovely and made us feel welcome everyday. Our little girl is now in the acorn room and the staff are brilliant there too. Jess is her key worker and I really feel like she knows her
inside out. Nothing is too much trouble. I feel so relaxed knowing she is well cared for.

The nursery is truly exceptional. The caring and loving staff always make both you and your child feel incredibly welcome at Rock Cottage. As a parent, you feel listened to and valued, which makes such a difference.
A wide range of exciting and engaging activities are thoughtfully planned for the children,
and each half term includes special event days that the children absolutely love. The outdoor areas are always well used, giving the children plenty of opportunities to explore and play.
Both of my boys love attending the nursery, and I couldn't be happier with the care and experiences they receive. I would highly recommend Rock Cottage to any parent looking for a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment for their child.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.898)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.898) out of 10 for Rock Cottage Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.982 for Rock Cottage Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (224 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.982
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.916 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rock Cottage Day Nursery is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.975
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 101 number of registered child places is 20.2. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.2 = 0.941
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
