💤 Safe Sleep Matters at Cotton Tails Nurseries 💛

At Cotton Tails, the safety and wellbeing of every child in our care is always our top priority. We want to keep all parents informed about our updated safe sleep procedures, which are in line with the latest guidance from the Department for Education and the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework.

✨ What does this mean for your child?
We follow clear, evidence-based practices to ensure babies sleep as safely as possible:
• Babies are always placed on their backs to sleep
• Clear cots – no pillows, duvets, or soft toys
• Use of firm, flat mattresses
• Regular sleep checks and monitoring
• Maintaining a comfortable room temperature

💡 Why is this so important?
Following safe sleep guidance significantly reduces the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). These simple steps help us create the safest possible sleep environment for your little ones.

We understand that every family has their own routines at home, but within our nursery setting, we must follow national safeguarding guidance to protect all children in our care.

For more information, you can read the official guidance here:

You can also visit trusted advice from the NHS on safe sleep and baby wellbeing.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss your child’s sleep routine, please don’t hesitate to speak to a member of our team 💬

Thank you for your continued support in keeping our children safe 💤💛

A huge congratulations to Rosie, our Employee of the Term! 👏💛

Rosie has been part of the Cotton Tails family since November 2024, and it’s been wonderful to see how much she has grown in confidence—especially since joining the baby room. She has built such lovely, nurturing relationships with the children, and parents consistently find her warm, approachable, and easy to talk to.

Rosie is currently working towards her Level 3 qualification and has already begun taking on additional responsibilities, including supporting with new parent inductions. Her dedication, positivity, and willingness to step up make her a truly valued member of the team.
