The Cottage Day Nursery Derby

The facility, outdoor space and care have given her so much room to learn, play and grow. Most importantly she came home every day happy, confident and full of smiles.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Both our boys have come to The Cottage Day Nursery & we could not have been happier. Every member of staff have been so caring and supportive and have helped our children be ready for the next stange of schools. They have all been amazing giving the boys a safe environment to learn and be creative and have lots of fun.

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.

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!

Amazing nursery. Very supportive and attentive to my child's needs.

Our experience at The Cottage Nursery has been so positive. Our son has thrived in their care in each setting he's been in. All the staff are so caring and tentative to his needs.

The nursery is a great place to help children flourish, both my children have attended the setting, and it has helped them with learning new skills and socialising. All the staff are helpful and attentive to the children's needs.

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.

The Cottage Day Nursery is one of the best nurseries when it comes to child development, as we were having some concerns since she was a baby. Our daughter improved massively in every way. I highly recommend it to every single parent. The independence, the improvement that we noticed in her are exceptional. Thank you all for everything.

Every morning my son's excited to go in, he giggles, claps his hands & sings in the car. I really couldn't have asked for a better nursery to send him to. We're heartbroken that he won't be able to continue his learning here as we're moving, but even then the childcare manager has been assisting us with finding a nursery in our new area! This goes to show how invested they are in ensuring my son has the best start in life be it with them or another nursery. Every staff member is caring, encouraging, dedicated, trustworthy, patient, supportive & attentive. The list could go on. Thank you for caring for my boy xx

My daughter absolutely loves attending nursery. The staff are warm, friendly and engaging with other children and families. There's always activities both fun and educational. I've watched my child develop exceptionally under the supervision and care of the brilliant team. Selecting this nursery was by far the best decision I have made.
