Cottontails Closure
It is with great sadness that we announce the closure of Cottontails Preschool from February half term.
To our current and past parents, staff and supporters, we thank you for the wonderful support and memories
and hope to make more in the precious time we have left.
Whilst we are closing our doors for now, we are hopeful we won’t be in hibernation for long and can reconfigure Cottontails once more during the summer months and provide a quality and local preschool function with partners in the future. To this end we will retain the charity status of Cottontails and as many of the assets as possible.
If you have an offer of support you’d like to give to enable a reconfigured or continuation of the preschool please do urgently contact chair@cottontailspreschool.org

What our lastest Ofsted report said about us
|
"Children form warm and secure bonds with their key person and all members of staff, who know their needs and interests very well." |
"The well-qualified staff team plans a rich range of learning experiences. They develop a deep understanding of the natural world and learn to assess their own risks as they use real tools and climb trees." |
"Staff form strong partnerships with parents. They keep them fully informed of children's good progress. Parents describe staff as 'friendly' and 'professional'. " |
"The manager, committee members and staff are reflective and regularly evaluate the provision they offer. Their commitment helps them to drive forward identified areas for improvement." |
