2 of our daughters have been to Coton nursery and I was previously really impressed with it especially the fact that siblings can be in the same room unlike some larger settings. Unfortunately recently, staffing has been an issue with last minute closures and changes of hours which has a real
negative impact when we have no flexibility in our jobs and no other help with childcare. Unfortunately the nursery have given us 2 weeks notice to a change of hours (no longer a 730am start) again due to staging. This is no longer compatible with our work hours. I am genuinely heartbroken that we are having to scramble around to sort a new nursery over the Christmas closure and that my daughter who has been their since 5 months will have to leave somewhere she has thrived for her final 5 months before school. Overall has been a wonderful setting but unfortunately ongoing inability to retain staff or fix staffing issues have made it unreliable for us.

We've been lucky to have all three of our daughters pass through Coton Nursery and breakfast club/after school club and they all really enjoy the time there. The staff are all fantastic, and create a fun and supportive atmosphere. Highly recommend.
Tough to get places and this is always a nail
biter when new term availability is released, more spaces would be welcomed by parents

We are new to the nursery. We have been impressed by the excellent communication from staff both in the nursery and wider family first network. Staff are warm and friendly and we have been welcomed with open arms. Our children feel happy and safe at Coton nursery and we feel happy leaving them with
such a caring and genuine team. The updates throughout the day are much appreciated.

We love Coton day nursery, the small setting is great for the children to mixed between the ages while also having a cosy safe baby area. All the staff know all the children and parents.
The outside space is small but works well and they have a lot of fun. When possible the children are given the
opportunity to have a small outing to the village playground.

The staff at Coton are exemplary, they really care and my daughter tells me everyday how she's played and learnt something with key staff members.
To make Coton even more wonderful it would be great if the menu for children could be changed more regularly with a wider healthier variety of snacks.
It would also be great to have a minimum of two observations a day so as a parent we can have conversations with our children about what they have achieved.

We can only say the most wonderful things about this Nursery. They took the greatest care phasing my daughter in, she was always eager to go and had a lot of fun and made many friends. The staff were loving and caring with my child and extremely professional.

Brilliant nursery, very accommodating with comprehensive tours of the facilities. Staff were so lovely and the children so happy and friendly. A great space for children to thrive in their early years.

We are very pleased with the high standard of care. The staff always smiling, welcoming, and supportive. Our little one simply loves Coton Preschool. We can tell she is safe and well looked after and she finds lots of fun and stimulating
activities on a daily basis. We couldn't be happier!

Fantastic nursery, lovely approachable staff and always keen to support you individually as a family.
Both my children have grown and developed within this nursery and I would definitely recommend this.

Our son started at Coton Day Nursery in September 2023. We chose the nursery because it has a warm and inviting feel and the staff made us feel at ease. The nursery in our opinion is the perfect size and allows smaller children to interact with the older children, but still has a cosy and safe baby
area. We absolutely love the creative displays/toys within the nursery and the personal crafts that our son brings home. The staff know our son well and he has a wonderful relationship with his key worker and all the staff that care for him, they are kind, observant and incredibly friendly. The app is another great tool they have and we look forward to the daily updates and pictures. Choosing the right nursery can be tricky, but we are so pleased we found Coton Day Nursery.

My child really enjoys the nursery. The staff are so friendly and accommodating and make the nursery a really happy place to be for the children. It's a small setting, meaning that everyone knows everyone well which gives it a community feeling. We get photos/videos and other observations on the
parents' app to let us know how our child is doing.

All the staff and facilities at Coton are fabulous and my daughter really loves it there. She comes home every day happy.
She's a picky eater but always comes home full. She always has lots of happy stories from her day to share with us at home.

Coton Day Nursery has amazing staff and facilities, my son is very happy here, he has learnt a lot and made some wonderful friends. I recommend the nursery to everyone and will be sending my daughter in September.

Amazing staff - young and energetic. Our 3 year old daughter is very happy and learns a lot every day. The playroom has plenty of cool toys and our daughter is in love with their amazing garden. The thing I love the most is receiving daily diary reports, photos, descriptions and observations of
what my daughter did or learned during the day - it is really fun to read all the reports while I am at work.

My son is the happiest he’s been at Coton Day Nursery. He loves the staff and other children. He always has so much fun at nursery. The food provided to the children is of great quality and usually goes down very well with my son who loves food.

We could not fault the staff at Coton Day Nursery. They are friendly, efficient, communicative, kind, caring and engaging and our daughters think they’re the best thing ever! The activities they organise are educational yet fun and the mixture of indoor and outdoor activities is also good. We would
definitely recommend!

Outstanding nursery - experience with Coton Day Nursery is absolutely perfect. Our 2yr old son is genuinely excited every day he gets to go here.
The staff clearly care about the children as individuals and create a personal bond with each of them. The environment is very warm and friendly and
feels family-like.
The nursery team also put a huge effort into creating new experiences and creative learning opportunities for the kids each day, so that the kids have very varied experiences and remain excited and engaged. The personal approach really works as kids feel safe and so learn loads from a very early age.
The team is approachable, and they take time at the beginning and end of the day to communicate how things went. They also put loads of photos and videos up on the app on a very regular basis, allowing us to see what our son is up to and giving us material to engage with our son when he is back home to discuss his day.
Can not recommend more!

Our experience at Coton Day Nursery is very positive, teachers are lovely, caring and trustworthy. The space and equipment for games, learning and activities seem varied and abundant. Our little one loves it and speaks about his key worker fondly. We feel that the food offered is ok but could be
more nutritionally balanced. All in all, we are very happy and feel lucky to have Coton Day Nursery nearby.

We had a lovely experience with all the staff from Coton Day Nursery. It is amazing how many pictures they are putting online to the app to keep you updated with what is happening with our child. Thank you Coton Day Nursery.

Coton Day Nursery is like a home from home for our daughter. The staff are welcoming, considerate, understanding and most of all, kind to all. Our little girl runs in smiling and has the best day with all of the staff and children. There is always a positive atmosphere which allows for a calm and
happy learning environment. The level of individual care and attention is outstanding, they really know each child incredibly well. We simply couldn't wish for a better nursery!
