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.
I find The Cottage a wonderful place for my child to go - he enjoys being there, has formed strong bonds with the staff and the activities and toys are perfect for encouraging him to explore new things, all the while developing his social and language skills. The staff look after him and care for him
as though he were their own, it is so comforting to know that he is going somewhere that he loves. Thank you to all of the team for everything that you do.
I cannot rate The Cottage, Mickleover Nursery highly enough.Their attention to detail with nurturing individual interests, inspiring creativity as well as being completely flexible with dietary requirements is second to none.My little boy has absolutely flourished, having started as a shy little boy, he is now beaming with confidence, happy and learning new things every day.Thank you to all the staff for caring for the children with as much empathy and kindness as they would their own.
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.
