Review from Laura J (Mother of Child) published on 18 January 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Cotton Tails since she was one year old in Tiny rooms and is now in School Room. She loves the staff and feels comfortable with all of them. I think it is great the way that the Nursery make sure a member of staff moves rooms with the children each year so that they can continue that relationship. Thanks to Cotton Tails my daughter has developed her social skills with other children and has really come out of her shell, she is a confident and bright and loves to learn.

My son has now also started in Cotton Tails Baby room and I can't wait to see how he progresses. I have recommended the nursery and a couple of my friends now take their children to the nursery too and are very happy there.

A great nursery, my daughter is very happy there. The staff are wonderful, very warm and caring, just what little ones need when they are away from their parent's all day. They are always coming up with new ideas for fun activities for the children too.

My grandson is always settled happy and smiling when I pick him up. He tells me about his day at Cotton Tails and his friends, what he has done and what he has eaten. The contact with his key worker is good.

Overall Experience

Cotton Tails is an excellent nursery. At the end of each day when I pick my child up the staff inform me about every detail of her day. The staff are very caring and I feel very confident that they provide excellent care for my daughter. The variety of activities provided each day is excellent and the meals and snacks are also very good.

Overall Experience

Amazing nursery! I could not say a bad word about it. The staff are really nice and polite too. The activities the staff do with the children are really good and my daughter gets so much out of them. She only started nursery in February and her speech and confidence have improved incredibly. I cannot thank everyone enough.

My son has been going to Cotton Tails since he was 9 months old, the girls there are amazing and my son has come on leaps and bounds. The staff are always helpful and friendly and you can really feel a family oriented atmosphere throughout the nursery. The nursery is very forward thinking and there is always something fun going on for the kids.

Review from Louise B (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son was at Cotton Tails from 10months old and left the summer he turned 4 to start Reception. He absolutely loved nursery - it was battle to get him out of there at pick up time.
I cannot fault the staff, their friendliness, enthusiasm and professionalism. I love the fact that all the staff know the names of all the children (regardless of whether they teach them) and they always greet the children with a smile and a hello.
Lovely big, bright rooms with colourful displays and a huge variety of activities for the children to get involved in. The handover at pick up time was helpful and personal and a chance to have a quick chat with the staff about my son's day.

It was a sad day saying goodbye to everyone but my son and I have great memories of his time there.

Review from D F (Father of Child) published on 20 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have used this nursery for both of our children now and have been nothing but impressed. Fantastic building full of all the latest play and learn equipment/activities. Staff are great also and they really make your children feel welcome and create a very inviting atmosphere. Both my kids have become way more confident since being part of cotton tails and also learn new things daily. Our oldest has now left for school but the youngest absolutely loves her days at nursery and it's never a problem dropping her off as the staff do more than enough to welcome her each morning. Fantastic nursery.

Overall Experience

These girls were like a second mother to my child. Never a problem and my son learnt so much from 9 months through to the age of 4 years. If i have anymore children they will definitely go to Cotton Tails. Referred a few friends to and they were overjoyed with the service too and have sent all there children to this provider.

Overall Experience

My child left Cotton tails in the summer after attending for nearly three years. As soon as my daughter started I felt reassured that she was happy and was with caring and enthusiastic staff. She loved going to Cotton tails and enjoyed telling me about games she'd payed in the garden and activities she'd been doing. It's also a great place for parent involvement, with the many workshops you can attend and Christmas parties. I would definitely recommend to others.

The staff at this Nursery gave my son the best possible start in life. They helped to shape him into the polite, happy, and joyful little boy that he is. He went there from 6 months old and enjoyed every minute.

Overall Experience

A lovely nursery, exceptional care, clean, friendly and lovely general place. So many parent workshops take place, especially the Christmas open evening which is gorgeous and magical for the children.

My two boys have both attended this nursery and I wouldn't take them anywhere else 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.
