A fantastic nursery. Wonderful staff and learning environment. My children have made wonderful progress throughout their time here and have been given outstanding levels of care.
My little boy has been going to this nursery full-time since he was 10 months old. He's almost 3 years old now and thrives at the main nursery. He's made so many friends and absolutely enjoys story time, the outdoor playing and soft-play. The staff seem to be very friendly and caring and always give him a warm welcome in the morning when I drop him off.
As with any toddlers, accidents can happen and the nursery has a proper documentation process and always keep us notified. At the end of every day, my little boy seems to be happy and almost every time I go to see him, he seems to be confidently and happily playing with toys or his friends.
I would definitely recommend Cottage Day Nursery to anyone.
My son started at pre-school when he was going through a separation anxiety phase. The staff were incredibly patient and kind with him and helped him to settle in really well. My son has enjoyed his time at The Cottage and the staff have always worked with me and kept me involved with all of his developments. From his key worker to the other adults in his room, to the other staff, I have always had nothing but the kindest words and encouragement.
I would highly recommend The Cottage Day Nursery Derby to anyone. It is a fun environment with lots of learning opportunities. Thank you for all of your hard work. We are both very sad to be leaving you this summer!
Throughout 10years we have had excellent care and support from all nursery nurses and management team.
We have recommended to several friends.
Big thank you to the Cottage girls and management team - you are all amazing!
The Cottage on Bedford Street is definitely one to recommend, my little boy has been attending for the past 3 months and has settled in amazingly. All the staff here are so friendly and nurturing towards all children and make them feel welcome and loved. My little ones development has come on in leaps and bounds also and I must thank The Cottage for this.
Our boys loved every minute of their time at The Cottage and have such lovely memories of their time there - we only wish they could have stayed longer!
Thank you so much for the kind words. We can't believe you have been with us for nine years! It has been an absolute pleasure to see your boys grow and develop into such lovely children. Friday was a very sad day for all of the staff here, as most of us have looked after your boys as they've...

Meet the Team (1)
Hi, my name is Amy and I have worked at The Cottage since 2014.
I originally began my time here as a Nursery Deputy, before being promoted in 2015 to Nursery Manager. Since then we have had quite the journey - a pandemic included - where my role grew into the Business Manager of all three of our sites.
I have worked in nurseries for the majority of my life and I feel so privileged to work at a place like The Cottage. We strive to maintain the same level of outstanding care across all 3 of our sites and working closely together to share best practice, ideas and support where necessary.
You'll most likely hear from me about anything business related - policies, notifications, payments, billing, funding, booking patterns - you name it!
I'm always more than happy to help if you have any queries, I look forward to meeting you.
