My son goes to Coteswood House Pre-School and Day Nursery and he loves it there. Holidays are difficult for us as he keeps asking why can't he go to nursery. It just shows how much he likes it there. I would definitely recommend this nursery. The staff are amazing, always accommodating especially with
the last-minute extra hours. They are kind, pleasant at the same time I could see how they try to help the children to be independent. Thank you all for making those lovely kids smile and there is nothing more we would like to see as parents.

Both my children attend or have attended Coteswood House Pre-School and Day Nursery. My daughter attended for a year and a half and in that time made such a special bond with her teachers. My son only attends one day a week but he absolutely loves it.
As they are such a small nursery I feel that there
is that real personal touch. I felt like I got to know the staff and that I could really rely on them whenever I needed, with no judgment only support. From forgetting snacks and lunch to help with admissions. They really are the most amazing team.

An absolutely incredible preschool! Both my daughter and son went to Coteswood House Pre-School and Day Nursery and had the most wonderful start to the education/schooling system with being there. The staff make it - what a fantastic, loving, down to earth team of people. You won't find a better setting
than Coteswood.

I cannot recommend this preschool enough. My daughter runs up the path in the morning and cannot wait to go in. The staff are fantastic and know all the children by name which is lovely. My daughter has made some lovely friends and her confidence has improved so much since she started. The preschool
is really structured which is a great start for school and her speech and numeracy has come on so much since she started.

My child loved this nursery and learnt so much. I would recommend this nursery to everyone. They always made learning fun and every day she would come back home full of beans about her day. Thank you for everything and keep up the great work. It was always so lovely when I picked up my daughter to see
so many happy children excited to learn.

My daughter currently attends Coteswood House Pre-School and Day Nursery. Since attending her progress has been amazing. If it wasn’t for Coteswood I don’t think she’d be as forward as she is. There’s nothing more reassuring for me than knowing she’s excited to go to school and comes home telling me
all about school. Me and her dad always say how amazing all of the staff are and how our daughter treats them the same way she does some of her most loved family members (and she’s fussy). I wish she could stay here forever. She’s really looked after and we never have to worry!

I have had children at Coteswood House Pre-School and Day Nursery for five years now and will have another one starting in September 2022. There isn't a more caring setting anywhere. Our middle child has been incredibly supported by the team with his reluctance to speak. It's like a home-from-home and
the staff care for the children as if they are their own. Our youngest can't wait to start! 11/10 wouldn't be enough!

This is by far one of the most person-centred nurseries I've come across, the care they provide for each child is so individual and catered to them and they really get to know your child. My personal experience with them caring for both my little ones was beyond expectations and they were very nurturing.
My son still remembers his time at his nursery as it was very special to him. My daughter was very young when she went but even still made special bonds with her teachers, the nursery holds a special place in our hearts!

I was nervous about sending my youngest to nursery as he was a very clingy child and lockdowns obviously made that worse. I allowed my son to choose the nursery himself so we visited six and I went on how he felt and acted etc. while we were there and when we left! Well……he didn’t want to leave Coteswood
House Pre-School and Day Nursery the first time we went to look around which was a great sign to me! He loved every second there and I could not believe just how much he did there including an amazing forest school! I can genuinely recommend this place and have to many people before now.

My son attended Coteswood House Pre-School and Day Nursery starting as an ‘owl’ baby until leaving in July 2021 for school. This small, warm, friendly and professional nursery is a rare find and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Management and staff are passionate, caring and polite and they work
and communicate well to ensure all your child’s individual needs are met. There is a unique family atmosphere, with excellent toys and facilities for fun and play with valuable, educational themes immersed into daily activities. My son woke up every day excited to go and came home every evening wanting to stay! Thank you Coteswood for caring and providing him with the very best early years start and education anyone could ask for.

Excellent standard of early years education. Staff are warm, friendly, communicative and have an outstanding open door policy.
My daughter was initially only registered for a couple of afternoons per week. After a month she was there four full days because she enjoyed her time so much at Coteswood
House Pre-School and Day Nursery.
They operate “free play” and encourage children to be open-minded which I think is amazing. I don’t believe in conformance at such a young, vital age when little minds are just exploring absolutely everything.
Could not recommend Coteswood House enough. We have such fond memories and with a beautiful, soft approach to early years learning I will always be grateful for the staff who encouraged my daughter and built up her confidence, resilience and readiness for primary school.

My daughter went to Coteswood House Pre-School and Day Nursery and I couldn't have wished for a better nursery. Fantastic staff where no matter who comes to the door at collection, knows all about your child's day and what they have been doing. Always did all they could to help and support my child,
giving my child a fantastic start to school life. I would recommend this nursery to everyone who asked. It's been 5 years since my daughter went there and we still wave hello as we go past.

Coteswood is wonderful, fantastic, amazing and 'the best school ever' according to both my children! I can only sing the praises of the staff and management. Nothing is ever too much. Easy to approach and genuinely a lovely team. Such a wonderfully nurturing environment, helping children in their learning,
developing life skills and growing their confidence to ready them for the next stage of learning. The small, intimate setting has made a world of difference to the confidence level of both my children. The setting also enables all staff members to get to know your children, to allow for a more personal touch. The outside space is a beehive of activity and with the added bonus of forest school sessions! In turn, this lends to making this place really something special. I’m so grateful I found Coteswood House.

Absolutely fantastic preschool. We loved how person-centred and caring it was and we felt totally reassured that our daughter was happy and well cared for. Being a preschool, they offer a great academic start for children and it really does give them a boost in their educational journey. The teaching
staff go above and beyond to ensure parents are involved and updated at all times and it has a lovely homely feel. 100% recommend Coteswood House.

Best place ever! My daughter was very anxious to go there as had a very bad experience in her previous nursery. Needlessly, she loved it from day one (so did I), never looked back on her previous poor experience! Nursery staff are very friendly and well educated. My daughter progressed a lot under the
care of Coteswood House Pre-School and Day Nursery, she gained confidence, learned all that a 4-year-old possibly could. It's almost a year now since she went to primary school but still remember all of the fantastic team! Each time we are passing by the nursery, she is saying how much she misses all and everyone.
Thank you for all!

Since my daughter has started at Coteswood House Pre-School and Day Nursery she has received so much support from all the staff. I have seen such a difference in her development since she started in October, staff have given my daughter their time to help meet her needs. I could not be thankful enough.
The manager has been a massive help to me when I have questions or concerns.
Also, staff have been so understanding about my stepson's situation and continue to offer support where needed.
I recommend this school highly.

Coteswood House is a fantastic nursery. After visiting a few other nurseries in the area, we were blown away with the facilities provided by Coteswood and it's so much more intimate than all the others we considered. The class sizes are small, and as such, the staff really get to bond with your child.
My son joined when he was 2 years old and struggled with his speech, only saying the odd word when he first joined. A year on and we're in disbelief at how well he's progressed, not just with his speech (he's now a little chatterbox!), but with all his education, people skills and daily activities. The standard of education at Coteswood far exceeds the other nursery's we looked at, and I'm so glad we chose to send him there. He also loves the forest school sessions run by the nursery, which was one of the things that initially drew us to Coteswood. Couldn't recommend it any more!
