From the The Cottage Private Day Nursery (Uttoxeter Road)
I can identify with the emotions that most parents feel when deciding to entrust their child to someone else's care because I am a mother of four myself. Fortunately for me, The Cottage was already established at the time of the birth of my first child. My own experiences and requirements as a working mother have contributed to the nursery's development to the level it is at now. We all need to be certain that our kids will be content, satisfied, safe, and well-cared for when we leave them. Here at The Cottage, we always strive to make sure that both parents and children are happy.
