My eldest went to this nursery, and it truly was the best I could have asked for. I was a little hesitant about sending my younger one, as he was much younger than his sibling when starting. But since joining the Daisy Room in September, he has settled in so well and has been looked after wonderfully. His key worker, Jen, has been especially amazing. He built a strong bond with her very quickly, and as a mother, that means everything to me I wanted him to feel close to an adult and know there was someone he could rely on. He has learned so much from Jen, and a few others and she’s done a fantastic job teaching him good manners. Thank you. Thank you as well to all the other staff who care for him daily, but a special thank you to Jen for looking after my little munchkin I know it’s not easy! Great nursery to send your littles one to they will be looked after!.
