The Cottage Nursery

My eldest child started at the nursery at 20months. I have always been impressed by how staff assessed her and could tell her strengths and weaknesses very quickly. They managed her pushing boundaries fantastically and were a great help when she was difficult to potty train. She has now gone onto the attached prep school and is doing fantastically. My 3 year old has been at the cottage for just over a year he loves going and the staff work hard to foster his interests, he always goes in and comes out with a big smile. The few times he may have been a little upset there’s always a member of staff willing to give him a cuddle.

My daughter absolutely loved The Cottage Nursery and so did I. All the girls helped mould her into the independent child she is today. I always felt supported as a mother. The ladies here are fabulous at there job, they work so hard and it shows in how much the children love them. They have a beautiful spacious building and outdoor area. I love the use of the online tapestry app (amazing). They do cooking, French, dance, seasonal celebrations, stay and play, day trips ( older kids). We truly miss them all. Love you guys.

The outdoor provision was not brilliant but was recently improved and new equipment provided. Learning and creative materials are excellent, giving a good variety of stimulating activities all aligned to EYFS. The parents evening, bi-monthly report and the feedback on tapestry are really useful for tracking development and provide some entertaining photo stories! But most important of all I am assured my child is safe and happy.

The staff and management are absolutely fantastic. They really care about all the children at the nursery and know each child inside out. As a result, they know all of their likes and dislikes enabling them to tailor engaging activities that help the children excel through fun learning. My daughter has come on in leaps and bounds. Her confidence has soared and her literacy and numeracy skills are outstanding. All thanks to the hard work and diligence of the Staff. The children are shown so much love and care. My daughter constantly refers to her nursery teachers as her best friends. My son joined the nursery in June. His vocabulary and communication skills again have excelled. The love and care that they show him makes it so easy to leave him there. Last month my son became unwell at the nursery. When I went to collect him one of the nursery teachers was lovingly cradling him whilst he slept. The affection that was shown to him whilst he was unwell I will always be eternally grateful of.

I would definitely recommend this nursery.

I would definitely recommend this nursery. My new baby will be going to this nursery as soon as he's 1 yr old as well. Thank you, all such brilliant staff that make the nursery such a special place for all the children.

Brilliant nursery!

My daughter loves attending this nursery and has made some fab friends including her teachers! All the staff are lovely and very approachable for parents.

My girl is growing into such a confident, clever young lady and I feel the nurturing environment here has greatly encouraged this and the plan is for her to attend the prep school to maintain this.

Highly recommended.

My son has just had his final day at the nursery and I was so upset. He has such a bond with all the staff and they have been absolutely fantastic with him! In the last six months, he has come on leaps and bounds, he came out of his shell and his speech and communication has developed amazingly. I cannot praise the nursery and staff enough my youngest son still attends the nursery and I'm sure he will develop just as well. Thank you for all you have done x

My little boy has additional needs & has a diagnosis of Autism he is also non verbal so needed a lot of extra help & guidance but the care & support from all staff looking after him was second to none, his key workers over the years went above & beyond in understanding his needs. They adapted the room to make it safer for him, used signs & symbols to help communicate better with him. I cannot fault all the time, care, understanding & patience my son was shown. He thoroughly enjoyed his time here & made some special bonds with the staff I genuinely cannot thank this Nursery enough for all their help!
