About us
Elm Cottage
Established in 1989, Elm Cottage has proudly supported families with trusted, high-quality childcare for children aged 3 months to 11 years. We operate Ofsted-rated nurseries and out-of-school clubs across the Stockport area.
Our Didsbury Road Out of School Club and Holiday Club first opened in 1991 and continues to offer a welcoming, active, and supportive environment for children. Located within the school grounds, we have sole use of a large dining hall, crush hall, and access to the sports hall, outdoor playground, and spacious playing fields — giving children plenty of room to play, explore, and thrive.
Paediatric First Aid
At Elm Cottage, we believe every child deserves to be cared for by fully trained staff. That’s why every member of our team is trained and regularly updated in Paediatric First Aid — a standard we’ve upheld since we first opened in 1989.
We’re proud to partner with Millie’s Trust to keep our training current and comprehensive. We also extend this support to families by offering evening Paediatric First Aid workshops for parents and carers across our nursery settings.
Ofsted
We are proud to share that in our latest Ofsted inspection (2022), we were awarded a MET – the highest possible grade for out-of-school club providers. This reflects our commitment to quality, safety, and providing the best experience for every child.
