There’s a reason this nursery has such a long waiting list. Although it’s small, staff make you feel as though your little ones are spending their day with extended family. The Daisy team are incredibly warm, nurturing, and are genuinely invested in each child’s happiness and development. They are truly a cut above the rest, and we’re so grateful our son gets to be part of such a wonderful environment.
