Welcome to the Top Nursery in Cotgrave

Serendipitys Day Nursery operates from the Cotgrave Futures Community Building on the popular Candleby Lane in Cotgrave.

Serendipitys, Cotgrave operates from the Cotgrave Futures Community Building next-door to Candleby Lane School. Our care is based around the fact that every child is unique and cherished and our warm and caring staff team offer high-quality childcare that is tailored to every child’s individual needs. Routines and activities are planned to ensure that each child achieves their full potential.

The nursery has 3 separate rooms for Babies 0-2, Toddlers 2-3 and Pre School 3-5. We have extensive outdoor play areas offering lots of opportunities for children to explore the natural world and daily routines are organised to ensure that maximum use is made of these. We also make use of the wider community with walks and outings to local parks and places of interest.

Our aim is to give all children the best possible start to their early education. We do this by providing the highest level of care in a warm, loving environment so that they feel safe and secure to seize the opportunities provided for them. Each room in nursery has been lovingly designed and furnished to create a warm, cosy and homely feel. Toys and play materials include many household items which encourage the children to explore and investigate in different ways, making their own little discoveries along the way. We are guided by Ofsted regulations and the requirements of the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage.
