The learning side of the nursery is exceptional ranging from different activities daily to excellent ICT equipment.

I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience
Cotton Tails is an excellent nursery with friendly and helpful staff who really care about the children in their care. My son loves his nursery and is now in his 3rd year there. Some days he will not come home because he loves it so much.

The nursery has excellent communication with parents on a daily basis about what my son has done and his personality. They have helped him to develop knowledge and skills and he always amazes us with his new language, skills or a song that he has just learnt.

Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery with a happy, safe and engaging learning environment. The staff are caring and communicative. My daughter particularly enjoys playing in the outside area, where there is lots of play equipment and a mud kitchen. She loves going to nursery and I would recommend this setting to any prospective parents.

Overall Experience

Highly recommend Cotton Tails. Our son was shy and has come out of his shell. Each member of the staff truly cares about each child. Our son looks forward to going to the nursery to see his friends. The nursery is bright and airy, activities stimulate our son very well, and there are plenty of workshops you can take part in your child's learning.

Overall Experience

Cotton Tails is a place where I feel comfortable leaving my children each day. I feel confident that they will be well cared for and stimulated. The staff are friendly, interested and keen for the children to develop. The facilities are excellent - both of my children adore the outdoor space. One of my favourite things about Cotton Tails is how you are able to get involved, through parent workshops, Christmas celebrations and progress evenings. I would thoroughly recommend it.

Overall Experience

Cotton Tails Nursery is a consistently fantastic place to be. I can rely on the professionalism of the staff to take care of my children yet make their days full of fun and laughter. My sons have loved coming here right from the very first day and we have many fond memories of wonderful open evenings and fayres through the years. The staff put more than 100% into everything at the nursery and I will continue to sing their praises. Keep up the fantastic work everyone.

Review from Kirsty G (Mother of Child) published on 16 December 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has attended Cotton Tails at Northfield since he was 7 months old He's now about to turn two and loves it more than ever!! As a first time mother leaving my baby for the first time, the girls went above and beyond to make me and my son feel safe and welcome.
At the end of each day, I was given a full account of what he'd done throughout his day, how much he'd eaten and his nappies and sleep times - a standard thing in all nurseries - but the way the girls inform you of your child's day is so heart warming. You can tell from all the faces of children attending that they all love being there.

In the 18 months my little boy has attended, I've never had any issues. I'd highly recommend this nursery to anyone who wants their child to attend a setting that feels so much like a home from home. Wonderful staff and a beautifully presented setting!

Overall Experience

My two boys love coming to nursery. There is always a wide variety of activities available for the boys including outside services such as rhythm time. The staff are always friendly, informative and inviting. My boys both have strong bonds with the staff. The nursery itself is colourful and imaginative, it draws the children's attention and creates a happy environment to play and learn. I only have positive things to say about the nursery and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Review from CM (Mother of Child) published on 7 December 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Since my son started this nursery a few months ago, his confidence has grown. This is owing to the fantastic support of the staff. He was also a fussy eater so mealtimes were often a struggle. However, due to the perseverance and help from the staff, he is now readily trying food he wouldn't have eaten before. The facilities at the nursery are brilliant and I have confidence that my son will leave for school with the skills he needs to achieve his full potential.

Overall Experience
Lovely nursery with a great parent partnership. The facilities are bright and modern and the nursery also offers themed workshops which parents can attend too. The Christmas one is fabulous!
I love finding out what my son has been up to during his day at nursery and the staff are always happy to talk about his day and development and offer advice too if needed. It's also reassuring that he gets on well with the nursery ladies.

A happy child = happy mummy! :)

Review from Robyn T (Mother of Child) published on 6 December 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has only been attending Cotton Tails at Northfield for a month but so far I have been extremely impressed. After attending a childminder for 2 years, I was really anxious about the change to nursery but the staff put both my daughter and I at great ease. She has settled in fantastically and the staff have been very supportive. I love all of the work she has been bringing home and how many different activities they do each day. She comes home happy every day and tells me about all the fun things she has done. The food menu varies from week to week and it's all home cooked and nutritious. The daily rate is also very reasonable.

Review from Hannah (Mother of Child) published on 2 December 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Cotton Tails is an excellent nursery. The staff are great and will always go out of their way to help. I have one child at the nursery who has been there for 2 years and a previous child who was there for three years. Both boys really enjoy (Enjoyed) it. The facilities are clean, tidy and spacious and the garden area is really nice and well planned. Both of my boys have thrived at Cotton Tails and their learning and development have come on leaps and bounds. The main reason I like the nursery so much is that you know when you leave that your child is going to be happy and loved while they are there. There is also the added bonus of being able to park somewhere secure when going to and from the nursery, which is essential when you have two small children to manage. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

Review from Sonia (Mother of Child) published on 22 November 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I was impressed with Cotton Tails at Northfield when I came to look around. Cotton Tails at Northfield was my 5th nursery to visit and my last. My friend recommend Cotton Tails at Northfield, as her 2 daughters had gone there. I felt it had a great atmosphere and it was very welcoming. Now my 16-month-old son has been there for 10 months now and it is clear to me that he is happy there, he happily goes to staff when I drop him off in the morning and even waves me goodbye as soon as they have him. At parents evening and stay and play sessions, it is clear that they know my son's charter as well as I do, which tells me they give him the time and attention he needs. The staff ask what I am working on at home, so walking, speech development and so on, so that they can work on the same things. I just love the nursery and staff and I would recommend them to everyone, not just my friends.

Review from Sarah M (Mother of Child) published on 18 November 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff are all very friendly and approachable and are genuinely interested in the children's development. My children both love going to nursery which as a parent, is all you really want. I especially love the workshops allowing me to feel part of the nursery and a chance to see my children in the only environment they are without me.
The activities they do with the children are fantastic and very imaginative and I love that they spend money on rhythm time, dance lessons, and the animal man to name a few.
The amount of resources available for the children is exceptional and the quality and choice of the toys is great. The staff are full of fantastic fun ideas that really inspire the imagination and helps the children to learn in a fun way.

They encourage parent involvement and support parents in what they are trying to achieve outside of the nursery. As you can see I am very pleased with the nursery and how my children have grown whilst being there.

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.
