The Cottage Nursery

Absolutely fantastic nursery, the staff are genuinely interested in the children’s development, bringing out the best in the child.
My daughter has flourished beautifully, thank you Gaggles.
Always a pleasure to take my daughter to nursery and she seems to enjoy going too.

We are happy with this nursery. Our son started in April and it’s been fantastic. The staff in particular are really nice and friendly and very professional. My son’s key worker got him to sit on the big chair and no more highchair. We now have meal times with him sitting at table with us. Fantastic job. She is so great with him. Also helps him with his speech. The nursery manager has helped so much with keeping up with ways to help with my son’s speech and language. Overall, I think they are doing a fab job.

Our daughter is speech delayed and we were getting very worried about her comprehension. Gaggle were fully aware of this and are working with her to bring her speech on. We have seen a massive difference in her over the past two months.

The nursery offers great childcare. My daughter started this nursery when she was six months old. She was very well loved and looked after. She is now 17 months old and loving her time at the nursery. She is very forward for her age and this is down to great staff. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

My two year old twins are very happy at Gaggle and continuously learn and improve on what they already know. I am very happy with their progress here.

The staff are approachable and friendly. My son comes in happily every morning and when I pick him up he appears to have had a good day. He has been singing songs which suggest that he is learning.

Cannot fault this nursery – Nice open space, 2 gardens for children to spend time in, lots of space inside. My son loves the staff and is happy to go there every day. A lot of activities which are fun but teach kids at the same time. Bonus is the location – a few minutes walk from the train station, so amazing for travelling to work. Competitive price as well. The staff are always very kind and keen to talk to us.

My partner and I are so pleased that we enrolled our daughter at The Cottage Nursery. Since she started there at 9 months old (now 14 months old), she has absolutely adored it and loves all the staff and other children. It is very easy to communicate with the staff in person and via the app. We are also kept up to date with ‘play plans’, upcoming events and any updates to care, within plenty of time if applicable. The daily recaps are great and we’re regularly updated on developmental progress through the app. They also encourage lots of participation and feedback from parents regarding food, play and development, which is also very reassuring. Honestly, a great nursery all round.

We are very happy with the nursery. All the staff are friendly and kind. My child enjoys the time there. We get regular updates of the observations and daily photos that make us happy.

My son attends The Cottage Nursery and has been here since he was 9 months old, starting in the baby room and moving to Butterflies. Prior to this, his brother attended from 2019-2021. We absolutely love the nursery! The staff are kind, compassionate and caring. They provide such a diverse range of exciting learning opportunities and both my children have flourished here. My little one is 15 months and is making incredible progress due to the fun play and learning experiences he is given each day. He loves all of the staff and is so happy there – what more can you ask for?
The Cottage has fantastic communication with parents via email and the app and I really appreciate the level of feedback I am given daily about my little one’s day – his food intake, sleep, bottles, activities and even nappies! The facilities and equipment are fantastic, especially the outdoor fun and the roof garden. My little one particularly loves the mindfulness room. I would recommend this nursery to anyone!

Both of my children have attended The Cottage Nursery and I would highly recommend to others that are looking for a childcare provider for the early years. The staff and management are understanding of my needs as a parent and that of my child. They have played such a vital role in the development of both my children and it is a joy seeing and hearing what they have been learning on a daily basis from the staff and posts input on the app.

My little boy started here in January and has settled in so well. The staff have all been amazing, especially given that we’ve been struggling with dietary needs in this time. They’ve supported us every step of the way and been really understanding. He loves all of his teachers and really does enjoy spending the days with them.

My granddaughter has attended the nursery since July 2022 and has come on leaps and bounds. The staff are excellent with her and encourage her to reach every milestone. The sensory room in the badger’s room is fantastic and creates a calming and stimulating environment for all the children.

I cannot praise this nursery highly enough! The staff are so friendly and welcoming, my baby boy only started a couple of months ago and he seems to have settled in so well. He does painting, storytime, music classes, messy play and so many more fun activities! The staff always take the time to tell me in detail what my little boy has been up to. He is usually quite clingy but will happily go straight to any of the girls when we drop him off – which says a lot. The management is also excellent, I cannot fault this nursery. It is outstanding in all areas!

I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff at The Cottage – both my boys have attended (one currently attends as the oldest is now at school). They are very knowledgeable, put the needs of the children at the heart of all they do, follow their interests and plan exciting learning activities. They are keen to be inclusive and plan lots of engaging activities for celebrations or festivals around the world.
Our boys have gained so much confidence and social skills and become more secure in themselves to help with independence. The Cottage offer a wide range of extracurricular activities that enrich the EYFS framework. Our youngest enjoys every single day and there is clear and consistent communication with knowing what he’s eaten, learning that day and a particular focus for the week.
We’ve recommended The Cottage Nursery to so many of our friends!

We have had one child attend this nursery and currently have our youngest son in the Prep 1 class. We wouldn’t have sent him anywhere else. The staff are fantastic in all the rooms and the care for my sons has been outstanding. My youngest now knows all his initial sounds and can recognise all the letters of the alphabet. He can count confidently objects to 10 and knows his numbers up to 20. Our son is, most importantly, happy. He enjoys telling us about his day and has built such positive and nurturing relationships with the staff. When we collect our son, the room is always calm and the children are engaged in play. It’s lovely to see. Going home at night there isn’t a window where our son doesn’t receive a wave goodbye from all his previous rooms.

My son goes to The Cottage Nursery three times a week and it’s just such a fantastic place. His development has come on brilliantly, the staff are so welcoming every single day and the learning environment is just great. Would highly recommend this nursery!

Both of our daughters have attended the nursery and have received excellent care. Our youngest is in the youngest room at the moment and is thriving. All of the staff are wonderful and our daughter has so much fun every day with the activities planned for her.

I absolutely love this nursery and so do my kiddos, my 3-year-old loves going to nursery and playing with his friends, he always comes home and tells us the new sounds he has been learning and counting. My 1-year-old also goes and she also loves it, she always looks so happy in the pictures and she’s full of energy so they keep her well entertained!
The staff are absolutely lovely and I have no doubts about the care they give to my kids.
I’m so glad I chose this nursery for them because they are given the opportunity to thrive in everything.
