I am writing this review as a parent whose two daughters have both attended Daisy Fays in Falmouth, and I simply cannot praise this nursery highly enough. ​The staff are truly exceptional and are the absolute heart of Daisy Fays. Every member of the team is incredibly friendly and welcoming, not just to the children but to the parents as well. ​What stands out most is the palpable sense of genuine care they have for every child. It’s clear they truly care for the little ones in their charge, fostering a nurturing and stimulating environment. They go above and beyond to make the children feel safe and happy. ​My daughters have always been so enthusiastic about going in—I have never had any issues at drop-off because they know they are going to have so much fun! The variety of activities and the warmth of the staff ensure the children are always engaged and happy. ​If you are looking for a nursery in Falmouth where the staff are friendly, genuinely caring, and create a fantastic environment for your children, look no further than Daisy Fays.

Daisy Fay’s Falmouth nursery has been fantastic for our family. The facilities and staff are great, and my daughter has attended since the baby room and is now in pre-school. We receive good updates throughout the week, and the handovers are always confident and reassuring. I’ve always felt she is well cared for and happy there.

The team at Daisy Fayes has been fantastic throughout our daughter's journey through nursery. Friendly, understanding, patient, and clearly caring about your child and their individual needs. The updates we receive show just how much care and attention is put into the children's days, not just playing but educating too, with a constant stream of new activities and methods of teaching employed throughout her time here, I'm always impressed and greatful for the hard work they put in. The food is great too, catering to children's needs with a healthy variety freshly cooked for the children each day. Nothing about Daisy Fayes has ever given me second thoughts or made me feel like we didn't make the right choice. They've been fantastic throughout. Thank you so much to the wonderful staff on the rooms and to all of the supporting team that make my daughter's day fill of joy and creativity whilst I'm (begrudgingly) at work! I couldn't imagine a better place for her to be ❤️

Daisy Fays is a wonderful school. The teachers genuinely care about the children and always put their well-being first. They keep parents informed and involved, and they communicate immediately if anything happens at school. Knowing my child is safe and loved here gives me great peace of mind. Highly recommend

The staff at Daisy Fays Falmouth are amazing. Have experienced baby, toddler and preschool staff and couldn’t fault any of them at all. My kids love going and always come home with a smile of their faces. Nothing is ever to much trouble and they all seem very willing to help.
