Review from Lindsey (Mother of Child) published on 21 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter was in attendance at Cotton Tails Rubery for a couple of years, she is now at school and often asks if she can go back to nursery as she misses the staff very much. All the staff are so attentive, warm and friendly. My daughter flourished socially and their curriculum placed her in a strong
educational foundation for infant school.
They make a lot of effort to ensure your child's early years are the best they can be whilst always remaining inspiring with a truly magical experience, going up and beyond! The premises are bright, colourful and always clean and fresh which in my opinion, is extremely important!


We miss the happy faces and characters at Cotton Tails - Rubery, I would highly recommend this nursery in a heartbeat. Cotton Tails are a very special organisation who will leave imprints of your children's hearts.

My daughter has been at Cotton Tails since January 2016 when she was 6 months old and I had to go back to work. She does 2 full days a week. I have been so happy with her progress since being at nursery. Her eating is amazing, she doesn't spill a drop! And I have to give the credit to the girls at nursery
for that. She loves the girls who look after her and my husband and I have a great relationship with them. They look after our daughter as well as we do and we couldn't ask for more! Simply amazing!!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Cotton Tails Too is an amazing nursery. My 4-year-old went there for 3 years and my 1-year old has been going for a round 4 months. The staff are so friendly and caring, nothing is too much trouble and my 2 children were/are so happy there. The activities, the environment, the trips out, the seasonal
events (summer fair/ Christmas event etc) and garden area are all great but most importantly, the staff really do genuinely care about the children and it feels like such a strong team with a great manager and deputy. I didn't have to think twice about sending my second child there and he has settled in brilliantly.
Reply from Alice, Deputy Manager at Cotton Tails Too at Rubery

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.949)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.949) 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 4.9 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.949 for Cotton Tails Too at Rubery is calculated as follows: ( (265 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 274 Ratings = 4.949
  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 23 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 23 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.
