Carole and Jenna were amazing with my boy. They faced many challenges but they managed them well and put my theos needs first. Im am so grateful for the care all the staff at daisy chain gave him. The nursery is like being at home. Nurturing with a loving feel to it. Carole is warm and has a lovely approach to working with children. Jenna, put theos EHCP together and she did an excellent job of this. Any child is in safe, loving, kind hands here so I encourage anyone needing a nursery to enquire.

Our little boy started here over the past few weeks and we are so pleased with his progress in the little time he has been there. It’s a daunting time for any parent leaving them in someone else’s care, but Carole, Jenna and all the staff have been so welcoming and reassuring. The staff are first class; extremely knowledgeable and placing the well-being of the children at the core of everything they do. Regular photo/video updates put your mind at ease seeing your little one happy and content. I would recommend Daisy Chain to any parent wanting the best start for their children from an excellent team who will treat your children as if they were their own.
