Hello and welcome!
We are Laurna and Alison, founders of Autumn Cottage Childcare, and we are delighted to welcome you and your family to our setting.
At Autumn Cottage, we provide high-quality care and education for children from 3 months to 5 years, alongside wraparound care for children attending Charles Kingsley CofE School.
A caring start for every child
Our aim is simple, to provide a warm, nurturing and inspiring environment where every child feels safe, valued and excited to learn.
We support each child’s development across all areas, helping them grow emotionally, socially, physically and intellectually, while building strong relationships and confidence.
Learning through curiosity and real experiences
We are proud to follow an approach inspired by The Curiosity Approach, creating calm, engaging spaces that encourage children to explore, think and discover.
This means:
- Using real, meaningful objects from everyday life
- Encouraging open-ended play and creativity
- Creating a low-plastic, natural environment
- Supporting children to develop independence and curiosity
We believe children learn best through hands-on experiences, where their interests lead the way.
A place to belong
At Autumn Cottage, we work in close partnership with families to ensure every child receives the very best start.
Whether your child is joining us for nursery, pre-school, or wraparound care, we are committed to providing a safe, supportive and enriching environment where they can truly thrive.
If you would like to find out more, we would love to hear from you or welcome you for a visit.

Testimonials
What Parents are Saying
Miranda Sparkes
Laurna, Ali & team are amazing.
They make your child feel like they are home from home. They offer a great service with useful opening hours at a good price & food that the children will eat. Every time we drive past Autumn Cottage, my little one shouts out “hello autumn cottage” and then asks when she is next there again and bounces around happily when I tell her.
Would not hesitate recommending Autumn Cottage to other parents.

All 3 of my children have attended Autumn Cottage and our family has now celebrated 10 years with Ali and Laurna. We had previously had childminders and tried a local nursery but nothing compares to Autumn Cottage. From structured topical play for the little ones to support with homework for the older ones. Convenient pick-up and drop-offs and the children being able to attend after school clubs.
Ali and Laurna feel like an extension of our family and I know they would be there for any of our children if they needed it, including the now 18 year old!

The Team at Autumn Cottage are just fabulous! My little Dude absolutely loves it there and I wouldn’t dream of sending him anywhere else! He always comes home so happy and has clearly had the best time!!!
The Ladies are amazing and always offer advice when I need it (which is more often than not)
Thank you for being so wonderful!!
