Great nursery! My son has settled well and the staff are all very friendly, informative and welcoming. Great facilities and extra care is taken for the children's safety. I felt very anxious about my son going to nursery but soon felt at ease and knew this was the nursery we wanted him to go to when we was shown around. Cannot recommend Cotton Tails enough!
Cotton Tails Northfield are a fantastic nursery. My eldest daughter attended here, and we had no hesitation in booking a place for our younger daughter, who is currently in Tinie's room. The staff are friendly, approachable and caring. Both our children have a fantastic relationship with the carers, and they grow so much in ability and confidence ready for school. My eldest daughter happily comes with me for pick-up time to see her sister, and she loves to see the staff that looked after her. I feel confident and happy to send my children to Cotton Tails and highly recommend this nursery.
The staff are very welcoming to parents and children. They know the children so well and make sure that all children are cared for in the best possible way. Parents are kept informed of their children's progress and activities throughout the week, which allows us to talk with our child about her day. My daughter has only been here just over a year but has already done so much!
The staff are amazing with the children and the facilities are amazing! Highly recommend! 10/10.
Absolutely fantastic nursery. My child has come on so much since being here! Staff are wonderful and the activities are always great! She always has so much fun! Thank you so much for all that you do for her! We appreciate it so much!
Second child now attending the nursery and again cannot rate/recommend it highly enough. The staff continue to be very attentive, caring and personable. Day to day the children are engaged in a wide variety of activities and it is clear after my child's day at nursery that they are developing a great deal from their experiences there, which is lovely to see.
Exceptionally pleased with the team and management at Cotton Tails Day Nursery.
The staff seem to be very caring and personable. I thought they were amazing to have worked as hard as what they have done in such difficult circumstances in the pandemic.
We have been very impressed with the standard of learning at Cotton Tails and how much our son has and is learning.
The meals seem to be good and there are a wide range of activities for the children.
The nursery is colourful and clean.
It makes our life a lot easier knowing that our son is going to this nursery which he likes whilst we go to work.
My daughter joined Cotton Tails at Northfield in January 2020 and the staff there are amazing, helping my daughter with her independence. She was a clingy child but she now just walks in and waves goodbye to me. Since March 2020, the start of the first lockdown, my daughter stopped going to nursery but I know the nursery remained open to key worker parents, making the nursery staff key workers themselves and I'd like to say a massive well done to them. Then when they re opened they put things into place: 2-metre rule, face masks, all around and what to do if your child was at nursery and became ill. None of this has appeared to effect my daughter, which is the main thing. The staff continue to give 100% despite everything going on and they have gone above and beyond to help the children be who they are today, so thank you!
Routine is extremely important for young children and I admire the patience and extra efforts that have gone into continuing to make the nursery a fun and safer place to be.
The effects of this pandemic can unexpectedly be very disruptive for the nursey and parents due to a lot of external influences. I brought to the nurseries attention that I thought communications and processes between us could be a little better, and I am extremely happy to see that new measures have been introduced to make sure that we are all doing our bit in trying to keep things safe at Cotton Tails at Northfield.
Result – my children and their friends get to see, learn and play with each other every day as normal, thanks again!
Cotton Tails at Northfield is an excellent nursery, I highly recommend to anyone based locally. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds in her confidence since joining and absolutely loves all the staff who care for her!
My son has attended Cotton Tails at Northfield since July 2020, having previously been with a childminder. I can honestly say that my son loves it there. He loves his teachers, his friends and everything they do there. He has come on leaps and bounds since attending. The staff are friendly and approachable and always have time for you. Unfortunately, Covid-19 hit and we haven't been able to go in and enjoy the regular activities with our child but the nursery have handled the situation perfectly and professionally whilst keeping the children and staff safe. I wish to thank all staff at the nursery for welcoming my son into your setting and giving him the best care and teaching possible. My only regret is not placing my son into Cotton Tails earlier than this!
The staff are fantastic and so helpful. The nursery is clean, bright and there are so many great facilities and activities for the children to do.
The SEN provision is also very good and the staff have really gone the extra mile with my children.
Despite the limitations imposed with Covid, the care and commitment towards the children has not wavered throughout.
I cannot praise this nursery highly enough.
Cotton Tails nursery is a very welcoming, friendly nursery. The staff are friendly and approachable and my little girl has settled in very well just like her brother did when he attended over a year ago. Would recommend Cotton Tails to friends and family.
They do lovely stay and plays for us to attend and will always take the time to speak when dropping off or collecting.
I have had two children come to this nursery and I cannot praise them enough for the care they provide. The staff are so welcoming and friendly, always on hand to discuss my daughter's progress. The facilities are fantastic and the amount of activities my daughter gets to do on a day to day basis keeps her entertained all day. Important side note - The billing process is easy to understand and set up!
Very friendly staff, I feel at ease knowing my son is with them during the day. My son is happy and confident at the nursery.
Staff are lovely, helpful and knowledgeable.
It's made it so much easier for us.
Very happy with the nursery. The staff are great and have helped our daughter settle in.
Excellent nursery. My 1-year-old loves nursery - lots of activities and excellent communication. Recommended to lots of friends.

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.
