Really lovely nursery. Very welcoming. My daughter settled really quickly and loves attending nursery now. It's a really friendly, encouraging environment and we can't wait to see how our daughter develops and grows during her time here.

Cotton Tails is absolutely fantastic. All the staff clearly care deeply about the children.

They teach important values such as kindness and good manners. The activities are exciting and varied. Lots of physical activity is encouraged. My son is flourishing at Cotton Tails.

Extremely impressed with this nursery. They have looked after both my boys and I have been pleased with how well they have developed. The staff are excellent and have supported my sons very well in not just their educational needs but also their health and emotional needs. I strongly recommend Cotton Tails and the staff and management.

Overall Experience

Both of my girls come here - we absolutely love this nursery. The staff treat them both like family. Lots of activities - the animal man has just visited with lots of different animals for the children to meet, they have lots of things for parents to join in with e.g. pancake day. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Overall Experience
Fantastic nursery with lovely friendly, caring and approachable staff. My child has always enjoyed coming to nursery and he has experienced such a wide variety of learning through such amazing activities that the staff have provided for the children.

The nursery is always clean and inviting and I couldn’t ask for a better nursery for my son to attend.

My husband doesn’t always get a chance to drop off or collect my child but he still feels involved in the nursery as they provide so many events and workshops for parents which are amazing.

I can’t praise it enough.

Review from Sarah C (Mother of Child) published on 27 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son attended this nursery from 2010 to 2014 and thoroughly enjoyed his time spent at Cotton Tails. As a family, we were so impressed with the care our son was given, that our daughter now attends Cotton Tails. The staff are very kind and caring towards children and very attentive to individuals needs and requirements. The rooms are kept extremely clean and are nice, bright and spacious with plenty to keep the children occupied. The outside area is safe, with lots of things for the children to play with. Upon dropping my daughter to nursery or collecting her, I notice the children are always participating in different types of play such as messy play, sensory development etc.

Upon collection after a long day spent at nursery, my daughter always has a smile on her face and comes skipping to greet me. She happily shares her day with me and always look forward to her next day to be spent at nursery. Cotton Tails is an amazing nursery providing the best possible care for our little ones.

Overall Experience
Cotton Tails at Northfield have gone above and beyond expectations with their Christmas open evening. We were welcomed into a transformed nursery. Everywhere you turned was Christmassy it was brilliant for all ages.
Lots of fun activities to take part in and all the staff were so enthusiastic, kind and helpful and all dressed up.

We even received a reply from Santa a few days after posting our letter on the evening!

The one aspects that really sets Cottontails above others in the area, is the attentive and caring staff. The staff are an absolute asset to this setting. The setting itself is spacious, well equipped and extremely clean. My children have really developed their self-awareness and confidence whilst attending, which helps with the big step up to school - I would highly recommend.

Michelle Young Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2000
Michelle Young

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.
