September 21, 2024 at 9:01 amAll the team here are so welcoming and nurturing towards all kids and make them sense welcome and loved. My little ones development has come on in leaps and bounds also and I must thank The Cottage for this. The Cottage on Bedford Street is definitely one to suggest, my little boy has been attending for the past 3 months and has settled in amazingly.

September 28, 2024 at 12:48 amHe’s almost 3 years old now and thrives at the main childcare centre. He’s made so many friends and absolutely enjoys story time, the outdoor playing and soft-playtime. The team seem to be very welcoming and attentive and consistently give him a inviting welcome in the morning when I drop him off.
As with any toddlers, accidents can happen and the childcare centre has a proper documentation process and consistently keep us notified. At the end of every day, my little boy seems to be cheerful 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 suggest Cottage Day childcare centre to anyone. My little boy has been going to this childcare centre full-time since he was 10 months old.

October 22, 2024 at 10:30 amWe have recommended to several friends. All three of my kids have been to the Bedford Street site of The Cottage.
Throughout 10years we have had outstanding care and assistance from all childcare centre nurses and management team.

November 5, 2024 at 7:41 pmThe facilities are exceptional and the team are welcoming and attentive. My daughter is consistently excited about going to childcare centre, she’s made lots of friends and they’ve been excellent at supporting her discovering and development.
The toys are in excellent condition, the outdoor playtime area is one of the best I’ve seen and they even have an indoor soft playtime area. The Cottage is an outstanding childcare centre.

Big thank you to the Cottage girls and management team – you are all incredible! Out little boy loves childcare centre and is discovering lots of new things.

January 5, 2025 at 1:57 amAt this childcare centre he learned a lot of new things and he wasn’t treated like a different kid, for them he was a normal kid and that was excellent.
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. My son was there for about 3 years and is a kid with special needs.

January 29, 2025 at 1:16 pmShe settled in beautifully and created some fantastic bonds with all the team. They are consistently attentive, attentive and gave so much assistance when I needed help with toilet training.
My daughter has since progressed through to the main childcare centre and recently transitioned into the preschool room. It’s has been incredible to watch how much she has learnt and progressed while having so much enjoyable.
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. My daughter is been coming to The Cottage since she was a baby.

April 16, 2025 at 6:15 amThe main childcare centre has access to a soft playtime 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 team have been fantastic, 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. excellent assistance and feedback throughout.
The management are visible and accessible and we’ve consistently felt comfortable asking questions. A fantastic childcare centre which we will miss, and will be hard to match in our new location. A remarkable childcare centre that has been excellent 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 setting as it had 4 rooms, plus a sleep room and garden to visit throughout the day.

May 4, 2025 at 1:51 pmFrom starting as babies to leaving ready for ‘big school’, the standard of care has been outstanding. The team work so hard to provide a stimulating setting and plan such varied activities to engage the kids from the moment they arrive in the morning. The reaction of the kids on a Monday morning after the team have spent their evenings decorating the entire childcare centre ready for Christmas is truly magical. As parents, we have consistently been cheerful to entrust The Cottage with the care of our kids and are confident that our boys are cheerful and well cared for by the team. We have seen the childcare centre 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! Both 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.

May 16, 2025 at 10:47 amThe team were incredibly patient and compassionate with him and helped him to settle in really well. My son has enjoyed his time at The Cottage and the team have consistently 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 team, I have consistently had nothing but the kindest words and encouragement.
I would highly suggest The Cottage Day childcare centre Derby to anyone. It is a enjoyable setting with lots of discovering opportunities. Thank you for all of your hard work. We are both very sad to be leaving you this summer! My son started at pre-school when he was going through a separation anxiety phase.
