My little boy started Brook Cottage just over a year ago at the age of 18 months when we moved to the area. He’d already been at a different nursery for a year before we moved so we have the benefit of having been at another setting other than Brook Cottage to make a comparison.
Brook Cottage blows any other setting out of the water. Hands down. I can’t fault a thing!
The meals provided are always balanced, nutritious and thoroughly enjoyed by all. My boy often turns his nose up at anything I prepare for him after coming home well fed and happy.
The arts and crafts are always well thought through, interesting and fun! The staff are very imaginative with the daily tuff trays and everything is documented on the app.
My little boy’s vocabulary is improving day by day. He has incredible manners and is very caring, which is a reflection of what he sees and is taught each day.
Every single member of staff is incredibly knowledgable - I’ve often asked for their input if we’re going through a particularly troublesome stage.
We often sings songs on an evening and weekend and he will input staff members names into the songs without any prompting 🥹
The delight in his face when he is dropped off each morning fills me with such joy. To know I can go to work while he has the most amazing day, each day, is such a relief having been at a previous setting where the feeling wasn’t quite the same.
Each child at Brook Cottage isn’t just looked after for the day, they are loved… and it truly shows.
