The ultimate value of The Cottage is to cultivate an environment that replicates the warmth and hospitality of a home.
We aim to instil a sense of security and trust for parents regarding the exceptional level of care and learning opportunities provided to their children, allowing them to reach their fullest potential. Our aim is to help children become active learners, developing a healthy approach to building the foundations that will benefit them in later education and life.
Understanding that children flourish best in environments catered to their individual needs, here at Bedford St we have three separate buildings dedicated to different age groups. This ensures that we provide age-appropriate activities and care.
Transparency and communication are at the forefront of our commitment to providing a safe and nurturing environment for your child. We believe in fostering a collaborative partnership with parents, and our policies reflect our dedication to maintaining high standards of care, education and security.
Parents have access to a development app Famly that keeps you informed throughout the day, has an instant messaging feature for those on the go, and provides regular observations and assessments, keeping you in the loop of every step of your child’s progress.
A wonderful time at the cottage - my child has loved all the staff and making friends. The staff are always there to ask anything and help with anything. Always great at moving my child up to the different rooms when ready. My daughter always likes her meals and eats them well. She loves the outdoor space and has always loved the little events held eg. For Mother’s Day etc. Thank you for a lovely 3 years.
The Manager and the team at The Cottage have been absolutely amazing. Our son is leaving a place where we always felt safe and loving for him. They are making an incredible impact in the world, raising caring children.
My son has attended The Cottage Mickleover since 2018 at 9 months old and I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better nursery, so much so that my second son has also attended since 2021 at 8 months old. The staff are simply amazing, I’m so grateful to all, past and present who have cared for my boys. They really have the children’s and parents' best interests at heart and their hard work and passion shine through on a daily basis.
