Our little one recently starter at this nursery and I am so glad we made the swap. They go above and beyond not just for the kids but for us as parents to. The staff also give such an in depth summary at the end of each day and update the app throughout the day with what they have been up to. I can not big them up enough! Super lucky we got a space for our little one.

We've put 3 of our children through Daisybank and would totally recommend it. We looked round other nurserys and found them a bit sterile and lacking in soul. It's a really creative environment with lots of outdoor trips to local parks and museums and their bollington nursery. Lovely food too. For me, it's a great approach when many kids are growing up to be anxious and sheltered. My eldest 2 would give it 5 stars because they look back on the time there with some of their happiest memories.

Lovely nursery that feels like a home away from home for our son. He loves the staff and they put a lot of effort into the activities they arrange for the children + keep the place nice and clean which must be a challenge with that many kids running about! I would highly recommend.

Fantastic nursery. Staff are lovely, they care and meet needs of every individual. My lg has been in there for 18 months and her speach and overall development has improved so much. She loves her every day at Daisybank. Food is amazing a lot of outdoors which we really wanted, learning through play but also working on maths and phonics. Trips to local parks, farms, galleries. I also love the fact that kids can play between different age groups, it helps their social skills so much. Really recommend it.
