What exactly transpired? Did Nottingham yeast blow up your fermenter? Did it break into your house and hold your children hostage? What's so bad about it?
I've never had an issue with it throwing esters, I usually start it off around 62° and raise the temp up to around 67° at the end of fermentation to help it along a little.
So... I guess I haven't experienced much for esters with Notty yet.

I think it depends whether or not you find a specific yeasts ester profile pleasing or not. I'll agree it's a feature, not a bug. Notty, for me, is normally done by day 3 for most nominal OGs. I think your schedule sounds fine.
Notty has a history of having bad batches of yeast. I'm sure that is what OP is referring to.
