Hollie the centre manager is like a FAIRY GODMOTHER. Nothing is too much trouble. She is fantastic. I cannot wait for my son to get started here.

Lovely staff and my boy seems happy there; they really need to sort out their finance dept though - very swift at taking money and sending reminders but very poor at explaining errors and processing refunds.

Pulled my baby out after a few months! Turns out since then they've openly admitted they couldn't "cope" with her. Says it all really, she was only 10 months old when she started.

We’ve had a great couple of years here at Daisy & Jakes. They’re great at teaching the children independence and cater to different family needs very well.
