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.
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.
The staff are amazing especially the long standing staff who make you feel very welcome and comfortable.
The learning side of the nursery is exceptional ranging from different activities daily to excellent ICT equipment.
I would definitely recommend this nursery.
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.
Facilities are well maintained and up to date, it is always clean and tidy. Activities, trips and events are always well organised.
I wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending this nursery.
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.
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.
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.
Absolutely amazing place. The staff are amazing.
My son attended Cotton Tails - he loved it. Such a fantastic nursery. I would highly recommend Cotton Tails to anyone.
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.
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!
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.
Cotton Tails are a brilliant nursery. The staff are so friendly and there is plenty of space for the children to play. The staff always keep the children busy with lots of different fun activities. I wouldn't choose any other nursery to send my son to.
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.
All staff are friendly and helpful and so supportive during room moves / transitions. My daughter loves going to nursery and enjoys spending time with the staff and children. The activities they do are varied and enjoyable for her. Since joining Cotton Tails at Northfield she has grown in confidence and is eager to learn new things.
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! :)
My son attended Cotton Tails for 3 years. He started when he was 6 months old and I wouldn't have left him anywhere else. The staff are amazing and made me feel so comfortable and happy leaving him in their care. I highly recommend Cotton Tails, definitely the best nursery!!
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.
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.

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.
