August 24, 2015 at 12:00 amBoth of our boys have attended The Cottage over the last nine years and we cannot speak highly enough of everything they have done and continue to do. From starting as babies to leaving ready for ‘big school’, the standard of care has been excellent. The staff work so hard to provide a stimulating environment and plan such varied activities to engage the children from the moment they arrive in the morning. The reaction of the children on a Monday morning after the staff have spent their evenings decorating the entire nursery ready for Christmas is truly magical. As parents, we have always been happy to entrust The Cottage with the care of our children and are confident that our boys are happy and well cared for by the staff. We have seen the nursery change and grow in the time we have been there and believe the outdoor space is second to none with areas such as a lovely sensory garden and trim trail.
Our boys loved every minute of their time at The Cottage and have such lovely memories of their time there – we only wish they could have stayed longer!

April 21, 2016 at 12:00 amThe Cottage on Bedford Street is definitely one to recommend, my little boy has been attending for the past 3 months and has settled in amazingly. All the staff here are so friendly and nurturing towards all children and make them feel welcome and loved. My little ones development has come on in leaps and bounds also and I must thank The Cottage for this.

Big thank you to the Cottage girls and management team – you are all amazing!

Throughout 10years we have had excellent care and support from all nursery nurses and management team.
We have recommended to several friends.

July 7, 2017 at 12:00 amMy son started at pre-school when he was going through a separation anxiety phase. The staff were incredibly patient and kind with him and helped him to settle in really well. My son has enjoyed his time at The Cottage and the staff have always worked with me and kept me involved with all of his developments. From his key worker to the other adults in his room, to the other staff, I have always had nothing but the kindest words and encouragement.
I would highly recommend The Cottage Day Nursery Derby to anyone. It is a fun environment with lots of learning opportunities. Thank you for all of your hard work. We are both very sad to be leaving you this summer!

July 14, 2017 at 12:00 amMy little boy has been going to this nursery full-time since he was 10 months old. He’s almost 3 years old now and thrives at the main nursery. He’s made so many friends and absolutely enjoys story time, the outdoor playing and soft-play. The staff seem to be very friendly and caring and always give him a warm welcome in the morning when I drop him off.
As with any toddlers, accidents can happen and the nursery has a proper documentation process and always keep us notified. At the end of every day, my little boy seems to be happy and almost every time I go to see him, he seems to be confidently and happily playing with toys or his friends.
I would definitely recommend Cottage Day Nursery to anyone.

August 17, 2017 at 12:00 amMy son was there for about 3 years and is a child with special needs.
At this nursery he learned a lot of new things and he wasn’t treated like a different child, for them he was a normal child and that was great.
My son received a lot of help, 1 to 1.
I am very grateful for all their work with my son. Thank you so much.

August 18, 2017 at 12:00 amThe Cottage is an excellent nursery. The facilities are exceptional and the staff are friendly and attentive. My daughter is always excited about going to nursery, she’s made lots of friends and they’ve been great at supporting her learning and development.
The toys are in great condition, the outdoor play area is one of the best I’ve seen and they even have an indoor soft play area.

August 18, 2017 at 12:00 amMy daughter is been coming to The Cottage since she was a baby. She settled in beautifully and created some wonderful bonds with all the staff. They are always caring, attentive and gave so much support when I needed help with toilet training.
My daughter has since progressed through to the main nursery and recently transitioned into the preschool room. It’s has been amazing to watch how much she has learnt and progressed while having so much fun.
She thoroughly enjoys exploring the large garden, especially the sensory garden and taking care of the pet rabbit Sooty (so much she’s convinced she’s coming home with us).
I can’t wait to watch her continue her journey with you. Thank you so much for everything you have done so far.

February 20, 2019 at 12:00 amA fantastic nursery that has been great over the past 2 years, we are sad to move away and miss out on our youngest following through as well.
Baby and toddler unit gave loads of variety in activities and environment as it had 4 rooms, plus a sleep room and garden to visit throughout the day.
The main nursery has access to a soft play room and generous garden with climbing frame, bikes and ride-ons, a rabbit and other exploratory equipment. They really make the most of the outdoor facilities particularly over the long summer last year.
All the staff have been wonderful, fostering close key working relationships but also in the wider team. They worked with us on dietary needs due to allergies, looking for suitable alternatives so he didn’t miss out. Great support and feedback throughout.
The management are visible and accessible and we’ve always felt comfortable asking questions. A wonderful nursery which we will miss, and will be hard to match in our new location.
