About this day nursery

Daisy Chain Day Nursery offers award-winning childcare for children aged 0-5 years, operating with a commitment to providing a safe, stimulating, and enjoyable environment. The nursery group, with multiple locations across West Yorkshire, focuses on a play-based curriculum guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), encouraging children to learn and develop through engaging indoor and outdoor activities.

They prioritise fostering a healthy lifestyle and tailoring learning experiences to each child's individual needs, aiming to help them reach their full potential. A key aspect of their approach is strong parent partnerships, where a dedicated "key person" ensures parents are kept informed and actively involved in their child's developmental journey.
