The Cottage Day Nursery

"Both of our children attended The Cottage in Mickleover and we could not recommend it highly enough. It’s a very nurturing environment where you can feel confident that your children are in safe hands and are having a fun packed day. The menu is excellent and our children would regularly have seconds at meal times, especially ‘super duper jammy toast’! We were sad when our children left to go to school but we know that their time at The Cottage has really helped to prepare them for that transition."

"A great place for infants, toddlers and preschoolers. Children and their personalities are nurtured and supported to become confident little people helping their transition to school. All members of staff are caring, friendly and approachable always with a smile on their face."

"Excellent Pre-School! Our son thoroughly enjoyed his year of Pre School at the cottage. I was nervous about moving him from a childminder to nursery but I need not have been. The team are supportive, friendly and personable and quickly formed a bond with him. The activities are varied and exciting. Joey often stuns us with the knowledge he has gathered at pre school - for instance 'bees have two tummies!' He loved going everyday and I loved hearing about his daily experiences! I can not recommend this setting enough. 5*"

"My daughter was at the preschool here for the best part of two years (Sept -19 to July -21). Having spent a year in another nursery setting prior, that I had no qualms with, but once she started at The Cottage it really highlighted to me what an exceptional and special place this really is. EVERY member of staff cares about the children and they put so much effort, time, care and attention into their wellbeing and development. Every day she would go in with a smile on her face excited about what they would be doing and equally every day came out excited to tell me about her day. We are so sad that the time has come for her to leave for big school, but are equally comforted by the way she has been looked after and know everything The Cottage has done has helped her be ready for this next milestone. We miss you all already."
