About this day nursery

Daisy Maisies offers high-quality childcare across two locations in Widnes, Appleton and Chapelfield, both purposefully designed to foster children's learning and development. The Appleton branch, established in 2012, boasts well-equipped rooms and direct outdoor access, ensuring children can enjoy fresh air in any weather.

The Chapelfield nursery, opened in 2016, caters to children from three months onwards with dedicated spaces for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers, each featuring canopied outdoor areas. This setting also includes a specialised garden to ignite children's curiosity and build confidence, along with a sensory room for multi-sensory exploration.

The nursery prioritises active engagement, reflected in its provision for indoor and outdoor play. Parents can explore detailed information about each branch, team members, and enrolment procedures on their website.

Both nurseries encourage parental involvement and open communication, aiming to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment for all children.

I’m shocked that the nursery have built a massive WIFI MAST on their property, causing untold damage to the children they look after, St Bedes school and the local community. They’ve obviously recieved a large sum of money for this…
