We’re incredibly happy with the care and environment at Daisykins Day Nursery. Our daughter absolutely loves going there—so much so that she even asks to go on the weekends! Every morning, she’s excited to get ready for nursery, and she always comes back home with a big smile, full of stories and joy. It’s clear that the staff create a nurturing, fun, and safe space where she feels happy and confident. Thank you for all the love and dedication you put into making the nursery such a wonderful place!❤️

It’s clear they’ve created a safe and nurturing environment for learning and growth. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery!

As our time at Daisykins Nursery comes to an end, I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to all the amazing staff. You’ve played such an important role in my child’s early years, and we’re so grateful for the care, support, and encouragement you’ve given. My child has grown in confidence, made lovely friendships, and learned so much thanks to the fun, creative, and nurturing environment you provide. Every day was filled with smiles, and it’s clear how much love and effort goes into everything you do. It’s not easy saying goodbye, but we’ll always have such happy memories of Daisykins. Thank you again for giving my child the best start. We’ll miss you all so much!

I can’t recommend Daisykins enough. Choosing the right nursery for your child is so daunting and leaving your child with people other than you is incredibly nerve racking but the amazing staff made me feel at ease since day one. My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery and she has and has had the best key workers who you know really care for each child. She has been going since she was 9 months old and is now nearly 3. The nursery staff are all incredible and really go the extra mile to make sure the children are happy and safe. Highly recommend Daisykins

Daisykins is a truly fantastic nursery and preschool. Our daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her time there, always speaking with excitement about the activities, the staff, and the many friends she has made. Regular updates are provided throughout the day, as well as very detailed reports at the end of term. Communication has always been excellent. The staff are wonderful and our daughter constantly speaks very warmly of them. Highly recommended!
