The nursery is well run, organised and has great communication through the app. I can track my daughters food, sleep and nappies throughout the day and then I get a handover of activities completed when I pick her up.
The nursery has a a warm atmosphere, the staff are friendly and say hello, regardless of if they are looking after my daughter themselves.
They set up a lovely Christmas event and regularly hold events where parents can come in and complete activities with their child.
I feel that my wishes as a parent are listened to and most importantly, I feel safe and secure knowing that my daughter is well looked after. I can feel the love for her when I drop off and pick up and I know that she is genuinely cared for as more than just a job by the workers.
If you are looking for a nursery place then I would definitely book yourself a show around!
We really appreciate your feedback. Thanks again.
We are genuinely sad to be leaving as we move house, and we will miss this wonderful nursery a lot, from the staff, coffee mornings, family enrichment events and outside adventures! Thank you to the whole team for giving our daughter such a positive start.
Thanks again

We've never had an issues with the nursery, the staff who work there know exactly what they're doing and the children have always felt safe and cared for.

Is an amazing nursery. Staff are sooo good with the little ones and my little boy has a lovely relationship with his key worker! So much so he asks to see her when he is at home. So amazing to know that he is so happy and looked after when I can't be there.

The Nursery is very attentive to the requests of mothers and patient with the children. The staff are friendly and the nursery presents a warm atmosphere.

Thank you so much for your lovely comments, we really appreciate it.
Wonderful nursery and staff. My child has been at the nursery for over a year. She has comes on leaps and bounds and absolutely loves going to nursery. Staff are friendly, helpful and caring. There's lots of diverse activities and events for the children as well as opportunities for parents to get involved. The Christmas evening is always the highlight of the year. I would 100% highly recommend the nursery!

Thank you for your lovely words - they always mean a lot!
Such a nice nursery, the staff are lovely and friendly and have helped my child settle in quickly. My child is happy when I drop her off, and has developed quite a bit in the short time they have been here. Staff provide updates in person and through the app, would highly recommend.
Thank you for your reply - your kind words always mean a lot!
Despite taking a couple of weeks to settle into the routine of nursery, the girls in the tinies room have been absolutely amazing in getting him settled.
He's also moved on leaps and bounds with eating more solids, which they've supported with, as well as the more social aspects with other children. It's also great to see what he's doing with daily updates in person, and weekly updates with pictures on their app.
A fantastic nursery, highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your kind words. It is much appreciated by everyone, thank you.
My first child attended Cotton Tails and I chose based on word of mouth. She had a fantastic nurturing experience. She came on leaps and bounds whilst attending. My second child currently attends and I wouldn't have chosen anywhere else. Staff go above and beyond for every child and build lovely bonds. I wouldn't pick any other day care provider to look after my babies.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. It means so much to everyone, thank you.
This was our first event at Cotton Tails and didn't know what to expect. We were blown away by the effort put in by the staff. The decorations were amazing and well catered for all ages. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. I will pass them onto the all the staff.
We have been delighted by our experience of Cotton Tails Nursery. They look after the children so well, with lots of diverse activities. We also really appreciate the occasional events involving parents such as the Christmas evening. Our oldest child attended a different nursery, and there is a great deal we appreciate about Cotton Tails in comparison to that one.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We really appreciate it.
A fab nursery. Staff are friendly, hard working, caring and really helpful. Meals are health and a good variety is offered. They prepared our eldest well for starting school. Highly recommend this nursery.
Thank you for your kind words, we are very grateful!
Staff were extremely friendly as always! Loved the decorations and the activities for all kids. Cake sale was lovely and my little one loved meeting Santa and receiving his present. Looking forward to next years already!
Thank you for your kind words, we're glad you all enjoyed the open evening!
Friendly, hard working staff who are always welcoming. Our two kids have a great relationship with all the staff. Would absolutely recommend anyone looking for a nursery chose this one.
Thank you for all your hard work.

Meet the Team (1)
My name is Michelle Young, I am the manager at Cotton Tails Nursery. I have worked at Cotton Tails since June 2000 where I worked in the Pre-School room and then later worked in the Tinie Room which I thoroughly enjoyed.
I became the manager in 2009 which was a completely new role for me but I really enjoyed the challenge. During this time, I went on to complete my NVQ3 in Leadership and Management which has helped me in the role.
Over the years, I have grown to love my role as a manager, especially seeing all of the children grow and develop, then move on to big school.
One of my biggest aims as the manager was to maintain our OUTSTANDING Ofsted grade as it was my first Ofsted as a manager. This goal was achieved in March 2014 when we were rated OUTSTANDING for a second time. I am enjoying the challenge and enjoy working with a great team.
