I was nervous about sending my youngest to nursery as he was a very clingy child and lockdowns obviously made that worse. I allowed my son to choose the nursery himself so we visited six and I went on how he felt and acted etc. while we were there and when we left! Well……he didn’t want to leave Coteswood
House Pre-School and Day Nursery the first time we went to look around which was a great sign to me! He loved every second there and I could not believe just how much he did there including an amazing forest school! I can genuinely recommend this place and have to many people before now.

Brilliant nursery, this is my son's first nursery and from day one he loved it and settled in straight away. He has learnt so much and made so many lovely friends, all the staff here are amazing! Would highly recommend Coteswood House Pre-School and Day Nursery, we will be sad to leave here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attended Coteswood House Pre-School and Day Nursery starting as an ‘owl’ baby until leaving in July 2021 for school. This small, warm, friendly and professional nursery is a rare find and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Management and staff are passionate, caring and polite and they work
and communicate well to ensure all your child’s individual needs are met. There is a unique family atmosphere, with excellent toys and facilities for fun and play with valuable, educational themes immersed into daily activities. My son woke up every day excited to go and came home every evening wanting to stay! Thank you Coteswood for caring and providing him with the very best early years start and education anyone could ask for.

Excellent standard of early years education. Staff are warm, friendly, communicative and have an outstanding open door policy.
My daughter was initially only registered for a couple of afternoons per week. After a month she was there four full days because she enjoyed her time so much at Coteswood
House Pre-School and Day Nursery.
They operate “free play” and encourage children to be open-minded which I think is amazing. I don’t believe in conformance at such a young, vital age when little minds are just exploring absolutely everything.
Could not recommend Coteswood House enough. We have such fond memories and with a beautiful, soft approach to early years learning I will always be grateful for the staff who encouraged my daughter and built up her confidence, resilience and readiness for primary school.

My daughter went to Coteswood House Pre-School and Day Nursery and I couldn't have wished for a better nursery. Fantastic staff where no matter who comes to the door at collection, knows all about your child's day and what they have been doing. Always did all they could to help and support my child,
giving my child a fantastic start to school life. I would recommend this nursery to everyone who asked. It's been 5 years since my daughter went there and we still wave hello as we go past.

Review from Laura L (Mother of Child) published on 8 February 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Coteswood is wonderful, fantastic, amazing and 'the best school ever' according to both my children! I can only sing the praises of the staff and management. Nothing is ever too much. Easy to approach and genuinely a lovely team. Such a wonderfully nurturing environment, helping children in their learning,
developing life skills and growing their confidence to ready them for the next stage of learning. The small, intimate setting has made a world of difference to the confidence level of both my children. The setting also enables all staff members to get to know your children, to allow for a more personal touch. The outside space is a beehive of activity and with the added bonus of forest school sessions! In turn, this lends to making this place really something special. I’m so grateful I found Coteswood House.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Absolutely fantastic preschool. We loved how person-centred and caring it was and we felt totally reassured that our daughter was happy and well cared for. Being a preschool, they offer a great academic start for children and it really does give them a boost in their educational journey. The teaching
staff go above and beyond to ensure parents are involved and updated at all times and it has a lovely homely feel. 100% recommend Coteswood House.

Review from Dominika K (Mother of Child) published on 8 February 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Best place ever! My daughter was very anxious to go there as had a very bad experience in her previous nursery. Needlessly, she loved it from day one (so did I), never looked back on her previous poor experience! Nursery staff are very friendly and well educated. My daughter progressed a lot under the
care of Coteswood House Pre-School and Day Nursery, she gained confidence, learned all that a 4-year-old possibly could. It's almost a year now since she went to primary school but still remember all of the fantastic team! Each time we are passing by the nursery, she is saying how much she misses all and everyone.
Thank you for all!

Since my daughter has started at Coteswood House Pre-School and Day Nursery she has received so much support from all the staff. I have seen such a difference in her development since she started in October, staff have given my daughter their time to help meet her needs. I could not be thankful enough.
The manager has been a massive help to me when I have questions or concerns.
Also, staff have been so understanding about my stepson's situation and continue to offer support where needed.
I recommend this school highly.

Coteswood House is a fantastic nursery. After visiting a few other nurseries in the area, we were blown away with the facilities provided by Coteswood and it's so much more intimate than all the others we considered. The class sizes are small, and as such, the staff really get to bond with your child.
My son joined when he was 2 years old and struggled with his speech, only saying the odd word when he first joined. A year on and we're in disbelief at how well he's progressed, not just with his speech (he's now a little chatterbox!), but with all his education, people skills and daily activities. The standard of education at Coteswood far exceeds the other nursery's we looked at, and I'm so glad we chose to send him there. He also loves the forest school sessions run by the nursery, which was one of the things that initially drew us to Coteswood. Couldn't recommend it any more!

Coteswood is a lovely preschool where all the staff go above and beyond to care for every child. My son started at Coteswood when he was 2.5 years old and stayed until he was 4 years old and left for primary school. I was drawn to Coteswood as it is a small and homely preschool, where every member of
staff knew each child and their families on a personal level and they provided lots of engaging and educational activities each day for the children! My son made lots of lovely friends, and the preschool staff were very effective in communicating with us as parents and keeping us updated on his learning and development. My son loved his forest school sessions' and came home every day happy and content.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.975)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.975) out of 10 for Coteswood House Pre-School and Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.975 for Coteswood House Pre-School and Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.975
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Coteswood House Pre-School and Day Nursery is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, which has been reached with 10 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
