The Cottage Nursery

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.

My child has been attending The Cottage Nursery since he was 8 months old and he is now 2. He has built really strong relationships with the staff and enjoys his time at the nursery. He is always learning new things and making lots of friends. The management is approachable and accommodating.

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.

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.

Our son has been attending The Cottage Nursery for the last 11 months since he turned 1. The team are excellent caring, affectionate and they always want the best for our son. It's reassuring the care, nurture and affection given to him. We have seen him grow in confidence and we feel grateful and lucky that he has a place at The Cottage Nursery. The team are a real credit, fantastic.

Both my children have attended The Cottage Nursery, 1 currently still attending. They have both loved attending. The girls that work there do an amazing job with our children.

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.

Fantastic nursery. The staff are excellent and really work hard, providing us with good feedback and handovers when collecting my son. Thank you for all your hard work and for making my son's time at nursery a memorable one.

My daughter has been attending the nursery since July 2022 and the staff have been fantastic with her. They show nothing but love and encouragement to every child in their care, the nursery is fully equipped with a variety of resources and the activities that are put out for the children are fantastic! My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting and I could not recommend this setting more.

Since our daughter started at nursery we have been nothing but impressed by the staff. They are so caring and kind towards her and everyone knew her name from day one. They are always creating new learning and play opportunities and she regularly enjoys French lessons and music classes. Every week we have access to photos showing her and her peers having a great time. And we can access a live video feed if we wish, but because we are so confident that she is having a wonderful time we have never actually logged in. Highly recommend this nursery and all the staff.

Our little one has been attending The Cottage Nursery since he was 1-years old. It’s always daunting leaving them with someone else but he’s now nearly 3years old and he’s absolutely flourishing, thanks to the staff at the nursery. They truly care and take the time to adjust and develop our son's education, social skills and behaviours. From basic manners to the identification of shapes, the alphabet, numbers, creativity and artistic development, our son comes home with something new that he’s learnt almost every week. The staff are absolutely excellent, always updating us about what’s happened in the day and showering our son with lots of praise and smiles. The facilities and cleanliness of the nursery are fantastic and we love the extracurricular activities like yoga, gym, music, and the French classes. The nursery director does a great job of making the nursery more of a community and there are always fundraisers and charity days in support of much-needed causes. The nursery is a second home for our son.

The team at The Cottage is great, they communicate regularly and are very responsive when you bring anything up. Throughout the pandemic, they have done everything they can to keep the nursery running safely. Both of my children have attended since they were around one year old. Both have had a great relationship with their key workers, you can tell that the team genuinely care about your child, which is so reassuring. The nursery will try to accommodate you as much as they can, for example when I broke my ankle and needed additional days, and they also offered to look after my son when my youngest was in hospital. My eldest attended up to pre-school and the experience gave him a head start in education, they fostered his curiosity and he learned so much. We've had a very positive experience with them.

Our little boy started at The Cottage in June last year and we have been really pleased with his journey at the nursery to date. All the staff are really friendly and share in the excitement of watching the children grow and develop. The use of the parents' app is fantastic and the staff are really thorough with giving updates on activities and the different skills being developed. Staff also give a verbal debrief at pick up times as well as a feedback sheet listing what the children have eaten, nappy changes, activities completed etc. When we shared concerns around development (not related to nursery), the nursery staff took this on board and offered support where they could which we really appreciated.

Our daughter has attended the Cottage for the last 2 years. When it came to choosing a nursery when returning to work, I visited over 10 within a mile radius of our house and this one came off the best in every aspect. I was most impressed by the daily log visible in the lobby for drop off and pick up, to allow you to see what activities your child will take part in and how this is linked to their development. This is now visible on an app each day, which allows you to partake allowing you to repeat at home to encourage learning. The staff are all lovely and it has a lovely familial vibe, which is not often present in the larger chain ones. I genuinely feel that each member of staff emotionally connects with each child, and I know she is happy and safe. Each room is quite large and has lots of fun and learning toys and areas. There are also extra classes from external providers. She has loved every room she's been in, even I was upset to leave the key worker each time she's moved up!

Our little boy has settled in very well from day one at The Cottage and this is down to the caring staff. From the contact prior to him starting and the continuation of daily updates, we are very happy with our choice of nursery.

My child has been going for over a year. Couldn’t be happier. The staff are fantastic and the management is superb. My child loves going and is definitely learning so much. The communication is perfect and I’ve never had any concerns about her education or health and safety. I think it’s clear the management team want the nursery to continually improve.

Our daughter has attended the Cottage nursery since she was 12 months old and has loved it from day one. She settled in really quickly and has continued to develop in all aspects of her life. The nursery offers a wide range of activities; gym, dance, language sessions as well as arts and crafts. The outdoor space is excellent and the rabbits are a great hit. Thank you to all the staff.

Fantastic nursery. Great staff and management. A well-run, caring environment. I have zero complaints, only compliments. I have used other nurseries in the area and this is the best, in my experience.

Always picking up a happy girl. I'm fully aware of her progress every day. Amazing staff with so much heart and a caring mindset. The teachers really make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individual way.

I am extremely pleased with The Cottage Nursery. I feel 100% reassured in leaving my daughter in their safe hands. It feels like you are leaving your child with family. The staff and management are amazing and the communication is second to none. I am so pleased we have chosen this nursery and would highly recommend it to anyone.
