What Parents Say
Cottesmore CDC receives overwhelming praise from most parents, who highlight the caring and attentive staff, strong communication through daily app updates, and ample outdoor playtime. However, one negative review raises serious concerns about director qualifications, overcrowding, understaffing, and child safety issues.
My son has been attending this daycare since he was 15 months old, and it’s been over 9 months now. He has grown and thrived so much here! The staff are amazing—kind, attentive, and very easy to communicate with. They take excellent care of him and always create a positive, nurturing environment. I especially appreciate that the children get plenty of outdoor playtime, which is a huge plus. Highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a caring and engaging place for their child.
My kid has been here for a year now. Great staff, easy to work with and communicate, and my kid really likes them. The crew is relatively stable, which shows you that they like their job here. Happy teachers probably means happy kids. They play outside a lot, and I appreciate that a lot.
We have been here 2.5 years with 2 kids and we are very happy here. My son recently aged out, but my daughter still attends. She has been in the infant room, waddler room, and now up in the preschool rooms. After some issues I had with a nanny I was very relieved to have this staff. The infant teachers were so kind and patient. You can tell they love their job. The waddlers teachers and preschool teachers have been equally amazing. I feel very lucky to have people watching over my littles who truly care about them.
Let me start by saying we are 100% thrilled that our son is at Cottesmore! He was born February 2020 just before COVID. When it came time to go back to work we were VERY concerned about cleanliness in addition to our baseline worries about leaving our child with a complete stranger. Tiffany and the Cottesmore team were amazing during this transition. When the governor eventually cleared the county to restart daycare, Cottesmore had a thorough update for us with cleaning practices and safety measures. They are flexible, accommodating and understanding. The early morning drop off has made it possible for both parents to get back to work. Fast forward several months later and the two teachers in the “cuddle fish” classroom are our son’s favorite people (besides mom and dad of course). They do an amazing job of taking care of him and keeping us updated. The teachers update the app religiously to keep us apprised of naps, meals and activities. They even add in frequent picture and video updates that truly demonstrate how much they care for him. Bethany and Elisabeth provide frequent developmental activities and his social growth is easily apparent. We could not be happier and would never consider any other daycare in the area.
We had issues with the previous day care. My son also had some issues that we were working with medical professionals on when he started at Cottesmore. All the staff there was AMAZING and worked with my son to help him progress even with the issues we were dealing with. He loved it there and so did I. The only reason we left is because he aged out.
