An excellent nursery that my daughter has been attending since 3 months old. Staff have aided her development and supported and encouraged her throughout lots of important milestones. Would definitely recommend the nursery to others.

Cotton Tails Too is a wonderful Nursery. My eldest left Cotton Tails Too five years ago and my youngest started a year ago and it is lovely to see the same friendly faces. All of the staff at Cotton Tails Too are amazing, so friendly, welcoming, interested, happy and hard working. They have really helped
to settle our son and gone above and beyond when he has found transitions difficult. They ensured his happiness came first and were highly supportive and patient along the way. They are a dedicated and experienced team. They have created a wonderful atmosphere, a place of high-quality care and learning, full of fun, exciting and well-planned activities based on the children’s interests and next steps. We are always greeted with a smile. I can rest easy knowing my son is in the caring hands of Cotton Tails Too and I would happily recommend. I would not want to send our son anywhere else.

Cotton Tails Too is such a lovely nursery and the setting offers lots of learning and development for all of the rooms. Both of my boys have attended and have thoroughly progressed with their development throughout their time. They offer some lovely events throughout the year for all of the parents

I viewed the nursery 6 years ago for my daughter and loved it. I came back to bring my youngest daughter and the nursery was even better. I always phone to check her and talk to the girls in the room. She is always happy when I collect her and the staff are very helpful. The environment is very friendly
and stimulating and the variety of food is great.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
An amazing nursery! I'm thrilled that my 2nd child has got a place here as my eldest loved it and has such find memories from here. Staff are super friendly and competent in all areas. Always smiling faces to be seen and never too busy to chat in detail about whats happened that day which I love. My
child has progressed so well and so quickly since being there. Lots of events and celebrations throughout the seasons and so much effort put in by all. Food options are really good too, lots of variety. Equipment and activities are great, with plenty of crafts brought home to show their development.
Good value for money and extremely safe for the children too. 10 out of 10.

As a first time mom, I was anxious about sending my son to nursery but the team were very welcoming, encouraging and supportive. It was the only nursery I visited and I was confident it was the right place for my son to learn and develop.


Almost a year later, I have no regrets. My son loves going

and I love hearing about everything he gets up to.

I can’t recommend this Nursery enough my son has been here since he was 9 months old and he is outgoing and really clever and the Nursery offers nothing but support to him! He has an hypertentia hernia and they supported me whilst getting this diagnosis! Great staff, great facilities, top class Nursery!

I cannot thank the nursery enough for the wonderful care that they have for my daughters. I know when I leave there every morning that they are in safe hands, and cared for in the best way. I wouldn't consider using any other nursery other than Cotton Tails Too and will always recommend at every opportunity.

My son has attended Cotton Tails Too from 9 months. During this time he has developed in both confidence and in his personal development, preparing him for school. My son adores his teachers and all there are extremely helpful and supportive. Whenever speaking to friends and family about Cotton Tails
Too, I can do nothing but praise them. They have been a big part of my son's life and I know he really enjoys going every day.


Thank you all for your continued efforts with his early years. You are all a credit to Cotton Tails Too.

I have had only good experiences with the nursery, especially when it comes to special needs. I have a child that has been diagnosed with autism. He is doing very well in the environment that he is currently in and the staff have worked very closely with him in order to help me get on. If it was
not for the staff working there and the SENCO officer, then he would not be in the position that he is in now. I couldn't be more grateful for all of the help that they have given over the years.

My son currently attends Cotton Tails in the baby room and I must say it is a superb nursery. They have a range of activities and my son really enjoys it here. Staff are very friendly and pleasant. They provide a variety of meals that are healthy. I have never had any issues since my son started.

My son joined this nursery in Baby Room and couldn't have asked for anywhere better. It's so hard to find somewhere to send your child when it's time to go back to work but as soon as I walked in I felt at ease there was such a lovely atmosphere. As soon as I had finished looking around I knew this
was the nursery for me. The girls do such a brilliant job and are so friendly and I know my son is well looked after its like home from home. I would recommend this nursery to everyone

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.950)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.950) out of 10 for Cotton Tails Too at Rubery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.950 for Cotton Tails Too at Rubery is calculated as follows: ( (344 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 357 Ratings = 4.95
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cotton Tails Too at Rubery is based on 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 49 number of registered child places is 9.8, which has been reached with 30 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2004

My name is Lisa Daniels; I am the manager at Cotton Tails Too. I joined the company in 2004 and gained the role of room leader with the 2 year olds. I soon became the Deputy of the nursery and enjoyed each challenging task that came my way.


In 2008, I became the nursery manager and gained my Level 3 management qualification in 2009.


Being the manager of Cotton Tails Too gives me a great sense of achievement as each day is different and the children enjoy their time and experiences that we offer.


I am very lucky to have the role and position that I have as I get to work with lovely children and their families.
