Review from Sean T (Father of Child) published on 31 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

As first-time parents, we were naturally very nervous about finding the right childcare provider for our child. We visited six different childcare providers in the local area but as soon as we visited The Cottage we knew that this was the provider that we wanted to send our child to. The nursery is extremely well-run. There has always been clear communication between the board, the senior management team and parents. No issue (no matter how small) is ever a problem. There have been times when the nursery has put in place additional arrangements to support our child. They place an emphasis on education and well-being, two things which we value greatly. Our child enjoys going to nursery and playing with their friends but has also grown fond of all of the staff. This is something that you can't put a price on. I would strongly recommend The Cottage Nursery as a safe and stimulating childcare setting.

My son goes to The Cottage Nursery three times a week and it's just such a fantastic place. His development has come on brilliantly, the staff are so welcoming every single day and the learning environment is just great. Would highly recommend this nursery!

Overall Experience
My little boy started The Cottage Nursery in January and is absolutely loving it. His development and learning have come on so much since he started there and he is enjoying it so much, he waves us off now when we drop him off.
The staff are very friendly and engaging, it’s nice to receive a round-up of our little boy's day when we pick him up and we enjoy hearing how he’s got on within that day.
I really enjoy receiving the updates on the app of his day, it’s so lovely to see all the activities he has been up to, all adding to his development.
The room our little boy is in recently got redecorated and has had a nice refresh. I like how the nursery is reinvesting and keeping standards up, this is a big tick box for me.

I highly recommend the nursery, my niece also came here and for us, it was so great to get a place for our little boy.

Both of our daughters have attended the nursery and have received excellent care. Our youngest is in the youngest room at the moment and is thriving. All of the staff are wonderful and our daughter has so much fun every day with the activities planned for her.

Overall Experience

Since our son joined the nursery at the beginning of 2023, he has excelled in all areas of his development and all aspects of the skill set he already had. He absolutely loves going and from what we're told, he's great with all the staff and other children. We can't thank The Cottage Nursery enough for his development.

Review from Olivia W (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I absolutely love this nursery and so do my kiddos, my 3-year-old loves going to nursery and playing with his friends, he always comes home and tells us the new sounds he has been learning and counting. My 1-year-old also goes and she also loves it, she always looks so happy in the pictures and she’s full of energy so they keep her well entertained!
The staff are absolutely lovely and I have no doubts about the care they give to my kids.

I’m so glad I chose this nursery for them because they are given the opportunity to thrive in everything.

Overall Experience

My granddaughter has attended nursery for a few years now. She is so happy there and loves attending. She has truly blossomed during her time at nursery and made lots of friends. Everything from her social skills to her vocabulary has come on faster than I ever imagined. The staff are so welcoming to both parents/family and children. The staff are first class - extremely knowledgeable and place the well-being of the children at the core of everything they do.

Overall Experience

I cannot praise this nursery highly enough! The staff are so friendly and welcoming, my baby boy only started a couple of months ago and he seems to have settled in so well. He does painting, storytime, music classes, messy play and so many more fun activities! The staff always take the time to tell me in detail what my little boy has been up to. He is usually quite clingy but will happily go straight to any of the girls when we drop him off - which says a lot. The management is also excellent, I cannot fault this nursery. It is outstanding in all areas!

My granddaughter has attended the nursery since July 2022 and has come on leaps and bounds. The staff are excellent with her and encourage her to reach every milestone. The sensory room in the badger's room is fantastic and creates a calming and stimulating environment for all the children.

Overall Experience

My daughter attends The Cottage Nursery, four days per week. My partner and I could not have picked a better nursery for her. The nursery gives my daughter the highest standard of care, and her confidence and abilities have been well nurtured under the care of the staff. The communication is excellent. Highly recommend.

My little boy started here in January and has settled in so well. The staff have all been amazing, especially given that we’ve been struggling with dietary needs in this time. They’ve supported us every step of the way and been really understanding. He loves all of his teachers and really does enjoy spending the days with them.

Overall Experience

Both of my children have attended The Cottage Nursery and I would highly recommend to others that are looking for a childcare provider for the early years. The staff and management are understanding of my needs as a parent and that of my child. They have played such a vital role in the development of both my children and it is a joy seeing and hearing what they have been learning on a daily basis from the staff and posts input on the app.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending the nursery since September 2022. He absolutely loves it there! The staff are brilliant, really caring, thoughtful, and always looking to ensure my son is happy and enjoying his time at nursery. They offer loads of brilliant activities and are always doing something new from the Chinese new year, to pamper days to Christmas parties. The nursery is super organised and always feel I know what is happening and am reassured that they take amazing care of my son. The staff are so friendly and keen to meet the individual needs of every child. Absolutely brilliant.

My son has just joined after his previous nursery shut down. I am so impressed with how quickly they have helped my son settle in. They have got to know him and his likes and dislikes so quickly.

There is a clear emphasis on sensory play and learning through play. I am very grateful for the care they provide.

Couldn't be happier, my daughter has attended since October 2022. She has dietary requirements due to allergies and the staff have been excellent. I really can't speak any higher of the place, friendly, well organised and informative since we first walked through the doors. The staff are so hard working and really are key to my daughter's development. Thank you to all the staff.
