Crown Daisy is a wonderful nursery - we looked at several nurseries in the area but felt that there was something very special about this one and how content the children there were. Our son has been going to the baby lodge for 6 months now and we have been SO impressed by the team, who have all gone over and above to get to know him as an individual. Our key worker is amazing and we trust all the team implicitly. My only recommendation would be to join the waiting list as early as you can as they are, understandably, very popular!

Crown Daisy Nursery is amazing! My daughter has been attending for 2 years now and she loves it so much. They clearly recruit really well as the staff are all so lovely and work so hard! I would 100% recommend this nursery if you are looking for your children to develop amongst other likeminded children.

There are really not enough nice things to say. A nursery really is made by the staff, which at crown daisy are amazing, and the facilities, which are impressive. I have never found the staff anything other than enthusiastic and happy and the rooms are always so well presented, clean and (ignoring any transient mess from the kiddos) tidy. We live about 5 doors from a nursery and drive 5-10 minutes to come here. There is no comparison
