I cannot recommend Coccinelle Nursery enough. Before choosing here, I visited many nurseries in the area, but none of them felt as connected, warm, and genuinely caring. From the moment we stepped into Coccinelle, it felt different — more like a family than a nursery. When my son started at 18 months, he had very little eye contact and was completely non-verbal. The progress he has made since being here has been nothing short of amazing. He now makes eye contact, has picked up so many words, is playful, and truly connects with others. The love, patience, and support he’s received have made all the difference. Now that my daughter, also goes to Coccinelle, I can see the same warmth and care helping her flourish. She settled in so quickly and absolutely loves being there. As a parent, it’s the best feeling knowing your children are not only safe but also truly loved and nurtured. A very special thank you to Zarah, Helen, Victor, Olivia, Natalia, Diane, Perfect, Samira, and the entire team — you are all incredible. You’ve given my children the happiest start, and we feel so lucky to be part of the Coccinelle family.
Read on GoogleBest nursery experience ever! I attended this nursery as a child, and my son had followed in my footsteps — it’s been such a heartwarming experience. It’s wonderful to see that the same care, warmth, and nurturing environment I remember has not only been preserved but thoughtfully improved over the years. Helen, Diane, Zahrah and the team are genuinely caring and attentive, creating a safe and engaging space where children can learn, play, and grow. My son is now in primary school and this head start in learning has definitely been a success. As a parent, there’s nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is in good hands. I’m so glad we chose to continue this little family tradition — it’s a special place and thank you to the nursery for all its support
