Originally established in 1996, Cottontails has worked in partnership with hundreds of local families to give their children the very best start in Life.

We provide a safe, secure, warm and exciting learning environment full of fascinating visual and physical stimuli both inside and outside the classroom which engage and enthuse the young inquiring mind.

Perhaps, most importantly, we employ a first class, fully qualified and extremely loyal staff who are totally dedicated to their chosen profession and relish the wonderful opportunity to work with the youngest and most precious members of the community on a daily basis.

All of our sites are Teacher led, providing high quality childcare and education for all of our children

Classrooms are filled with natural, educational resources to create a calm and stimulating environment for the children to explore and create their own learning dialogue

Recognising the importance of outdoor learning to children’s early education and emotional wellbeing, all of our Nurseries and Pre-schools have beautiful nature gardens and outdoor classrooms. This provides our children with regular, daily access to the outdoors.
