Our child has settled in really well into Cotton Tails Nursery, and we are really pleased with the care that they have been receiving there. We are happy with the progress they have shown from attending there and highly recommend this nursery.
Thank you for taking the time to make such a lovely review!
The staff here are brilliant, always taking time to explain how our child had been and filling us in on the day in great detail. We can see how much care and love they give each and every one of the children our little one has learnt so much in the time they have been here.
Thank you for taking the time to make such a lovely review!
Our son has been at Cotton Tails for the last two years. He has made tremendous progress since joining the nursery. The staff have always been loving and kind, but also honest in their feedback. We would highly recommend Cotton Tails to anyone who is looking for a nursery, the team should be extremely proud!
Thank you for taking the time to make such a lovely review!
Our son has been at Cotton Tails for the past three years. The service here is fantastic, the staff are amazing, and I've had no doubts that he has been under the very best care during his time here. We've had regular reviews regarding his progress and photo updates. I can't recommend Cotton Tails enough.
Thank you for taking the time to make such a lovely review!
My son started nursery in Tinie Room in September 2023, and his development has been outstanding, growing into a confident and bubbly boy.
A big shout out to his key worker who is a massive help and so patient and disciplined with him. Also to the rest of the Tinie Room team.
I would highly recommend Cotton Tails as a trustworthy, safe, welcoming, friendly and supportive nursery to anyone considering putting their little one into childcare.
Thank you for taking the time to make such a lovely review!
Staff are very welcoming, trustworthy, and effectively communicate with everyone. I would highly recommend the nursery.

My daughter loves coming to nursery every day. She gets excited to see her friends and the staff. The staff are always friendly and will go above and beyond and take excellent care of our daughter. There is always a good variety of food for meal times. All activities are great and well organised.
Thank you for taking the time to make such a lovely review!
It is clear that the staff know our children and the fact that our children are so happy is reassuring as parents.
Thank you for a lovely review! It's lovely to hear you are happy with the care provided.
Amazing nursery, with a caring staff. Excellent activities and 100 percent effort and attention to detail when it comes to the children's activities and learning. My child has excelled being there, learning new things every single day and I do not worry about his care at all. I chose the correct place for my child and cannot thank them enough.
Thank you for your kind words, we are glad to hear your child is thriving with us!
Cotton Tails is a high-quality nursery providing excellent care. My son has grown in confidence since attending and has made a lot of new friends. I would recommend it highly to other parents, particularly for the nursery and school rooms.
Thank you for your lovely review. Lovely to hear you would recommend us to others too!
Cotton Tails Nursery has helped develop my son to no bounds, he has progressed massively in all aspects but biggest of all his confidence to play and interact with other children around him.
Thank you for your kind words. It's lovely to hear your son enjoys nursery!
Staff are kind and attentive, and learning is fun with lots of varied activities.
Thank you for your lovely words. It's always lovely to hear!
We’ve had a great experience with Cotton Tails, the communication is a strength as we always feel like we’re in the know of what she is doing and how she is progressing. They take it very seriously whilst also making it super fun. Our daughter always comes home happy.
Absolutely amazing nursery, my little boy started there at 11 months, has settled really well, and has just thrived. He comes home full of smiles and clearly loves his time there. I love the updates on the app. And it's so nice seeing what he has learnt each day (I'm learning lots of actions to songs at the moment!). Could not recommend Cotton Tails at Northfield more highly. Worth every penny.
Our girls love it at Cotton Tails. The staff are so wonderful with them and truly care about all of the children. It is always clean and they have created a beautiful and safe environment. There are always lots of fun activities to help with their development.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, we all really appreciate it.
We have been so happy with this nursery for the three years our daughter has attended. All the staff are attentive and caring and have always listened to our needs and acted upon any requests we have made. The nursery in general is really homely and warm with a bright and happy ambience. From the baby room up to the school room, our daughter has thrived and we will really miss it when she leaves. I have never felt uneasy or unsure about leaving her and there has never been an incident or a single lost item. Her belongings are well looked after and if she is ever under the weather we were always made aware straight away. The nursery is always clean and children are asked to wash their hands upon entering every morning. Their learning needs are captured and recorded. Cannot fault this nursery or the staff and we will be sad to say goodbye. Outdoor facilities are also good and the doors and gates are always locked and only opened with a code. This gives us a sense of security. Thank you
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, I will pass them on to the team.
Staff are always welcoming and make the experience seamless. My daughter loves it when she gets to nursery, enjoying time with newly formed friendships, come home time she has countless stories to tell us and the excitement she has is clear. We love the home tasks set too as can make learning at home and nursery be combined, such as the autumn seasons. Staff have been so supportive from the baby room through the nursery room. Thanks all.
It was really nice to go into my daughter's nursery to see the environment that she spends her days in playing and interacting with the other children, seeing how the staff act with them and putting faces to the names that she speaks about.
Great staff, great interaction and learning program for my child. I find the staff go the extra mile in getting to know the children they teach and care for. My son has formed bonds with some of the staff which illustrates the positive impact they have had on his day-to-day development there.
Thank you to all involved.

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.
