About this day nursery
Daisychain Day Nursery, located in Crawley, West Sussex, is a "Good"-rated childcare setting for children aged 0–4 years, operating since 2010. The nursery provides a welcoming and inclusive environment where children arrive happy and confident, forming positive, trusting relationships with nurturing staff.
Children of all ages demonstrate a secure understanding of daily routines, and highly positive role models among the staff promote kindness and respect. The nursery provides an ambitious and well-sequenced Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, tailored to individual needs, ensuring that all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make secure progress from their starting points.
Staff are highly responsive to supporting children with SEND, making adjustments and providing sensory breaks as needed. They also effectively distinguish between language delays and the impact of English as an additional language, promoting communication through clear language, meaningful commentary, and basic sign language.
Older children seamlessly transition to outdoor play, and toddlers enthusiastically splash in puddles, developing fine motor skills. The nursery operates Monday to Friday, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, offering a rich and diverse learning experience.

They were taking more money then what was needed and they still haven’t paid back the deposit it’s been 2 months I keep calling either they close it or say they gonna complain to the boss. My brother went here for 2 months only 10 days that he attended and they charged around £3,500 not recommending your child to come here they’re fraud we still haven’t received the deposit yet and it’s ridiculous if it carries on then is a matter to the police.

My daughter has been going here for nearly 3years from 10 months old. She absolutely loved baby daisies, she was always happy to go in with no tears and came home with a great big smile. She recently had a few teary episodes at dropping off, but after a parents evening session, we discussed a plan to help ease her in again without having a wobble and we've had no tears since! Thank you, Poppy has lots of fun with you and her little sister will be starting here too in the new year!

I couldn't be happier, our little girl is loving it here. The staff really seem to think outside the box with so many creative activities. I spent a morning there recently and can't imagine any other nurseries letting a 6 month old baby free with tubs of paint dressed only in his nappy.....he was having the best time! It is completely focused on keeping the children active and interested....a rare find!

Veronica and her brilliant team put me completely at ease when having nursery taster sessions with our son. The nursery has a lovely feel to it, with a fantastic garden and the location being just across from the train station is great. I can't recommend it highly enough!
