Children at Daisy Chain Nursery in Emsworth learn though play in a happy and safe environment.

The nursery is warm and nurturing and staff work hard to ensure that children develop a love of learning that will sustain them throughout their lives.

Staff encourage children to be polite and to treat others with respect.

Children are encouraged to get involved with cooking and it is very much part of the curriculum. Staff hope taking part in the whole cooking process will help children develop healthy eating habits at an early age.

Children have access to a large garden that is used in all weathers. The garden features a mixture of natural and man made environments that allow the children to explore and enjoy a variety of outdoor learning opportunities.

All of the staff show so much care for the children, my daughter is always happy going to nursery and has lots to tell me about her day on the way home.
Communication around day-to-day activities and meals is great as well as communication around longer-term developments.
My daughter is nearly 2
so in the baby room but they spend a lot of time outside in the garden which she loves.

Daisy Chain has been fantastic and cannot recommend it more highly. The staff are amazing and so good with the children. The communication on our son's progress, his activities, what's on the menu for lunch/dinner and any admin required is great. All the children look to enjoy it and have great relationships
with their key person and our son has thrived since he has been there.

My son has been attending Daisy Chain Nursery Emsworth since 2020.
The staff go above and beyond to create a warm and welcoming 'home from home' atmosphere. Every day is filled with a range of activities which encompass learning through play. Each child is given ample opportunities to explore and
develop their emotional, social, and cognitive development.
Communication with parents is excellent via the Famly app, emails, letters home, and face-to-face upon drop off and collection times.
The meals provided are well planned, offering high nutritional value and variety, leaving me assured that my child has eaten well throughout the day and also enjoyed what he has been offered.
There is outstanding SENCo support for those children requiring a little extra support. Staff have an in-depth knowledge of differing needs and work hard to provide appropriate and creative interventions wherever possible.
Daisy Chain have provided the best start for my child in preparation for big school!

Our daughter started attending Daisy Chain in September 2022 at 10 months old; she has been there 2 days a week since. As first-time parents (occasionally using family for care), we were uncertain of what to expect from the nursery but need not have worried. The staff at Daisy Chain reassured us, and
our daughter has thrived there. Management are clear, frequent and consistent in their communications with us and the welfare of our daughter is front-and-centre of any interaction we have with the nursery. She is allowed to play and express herself at Daisy Chain as she does at home, the staff are very helpful and understanding. Our daughter has started to make friends at nursery that she names and discusses with us at home. Daisy Chain remains open during school holidays, with the flexibility to swap sessions occasionally if necessary; we are hugely grateful for the pragmatic, friendly, caring and tailored approach this nursery consistently demonstrates. We highly recommend Daisy Chain.

I have my second child at Daisy Chain Emsworth currently. My first also attended from around 1 year old to when he left for reception class. Daisy Chain is brilliant. The staff are fab, both my kids love it. When I say it's nursery day to my 2 yr old he smiles and giggles - that's the best sign that
he enjoys it. The food is good, the garden is fab - lots to play with and ample shade. It's a really warm, friendly atmosphere. The staff ensure that the curriculum prepares the children for reception, teaching them the skills to be independent which we reinforce at home. We regularly communicate with the staff about development and what we want/need to focus on in this respect. It's a really good nursery.

We couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery for our son (age 3) and are so pleased to have secured a place for our newborn starting from the end of this year. It's a great setting with a lovely big garden - they make sure the kids get time outdoors every day - and the staff are all wonderful.
Our son has adored each of his key workers and they have all been incredibly supportive of him over the last two years; he's always happy to go to nursery, has made some great friends and comes out with a huge smile on his face every day. Communication with parents is also excellent. I would highly recommend this nursery and have done so to several friends.

I have two children currently at Daisy Chain and my eldest also attended before starting school. They have been nothing but amazing with all three of my children as well as offering support to parents if needed. I'm so pleased to have found Daisy Chain. Thank you.

Daisy Chain has proven to be the perfect setting for our daughter. The staff are amazing and give the children outstanding care while providing a most fantastic environment for them to learn and grow. The food is incredible and all homemade, and we love seeing the menu each week. We also love getting
an update from the staff at the end of each session.

I have had two children at Daisy Chain and attended for 7 years. I don't have a bad word to say. They have helped my girls develop into happy, confident children who were better prepared for school than many of their peers who go elsewhere for nursery. The management changed a few months ago but we've
noticed no difference in service. The staff are friendly, caring, approachable and have created a lovely nurturing environment for the children. My daughter loves going to nursery. I think we will all feel a bit of separation anxiety when we finally leave Daisy Chain in September when our youngest goes to school.

The staff are exceptional and genuinely care for the children. They greet us each morning with a smile and my child happily enters on his own and leaves with a smile on his face. The staff get to know the children well, their likes and interests, as well as the things the children need a little help
with developing. Handovers are detailed and communication is great through email and the app.

Both of my children have attended this nursery from a young age (under 1). The staff are warm and friendly and always give a great handover about my child's day. I find the notifications on the app helpful to let me know about progress and next steps so I can support at home. One of my children has
special educational needs and disabilities and the nursery were amazing with him and made sure he was 'school ready' which really helped with the transition. I am impressed by the healthy meals that are offered and really pleased to know that my children are getting the right kinds of foods and trying new things. The activities on offer are great and the children have a real range of experiences over a week. I am impressed by the amount of time outside. It's great that children are being taught how to be kind and polite and the staff have high expectations of behaviour. Their safeguarding is in place and forms are handed over to be signed on pick up. I highly rate this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.919)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.919) out of 10 for Daisy Chain Nursery Emsworth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.919 for Daisy Chain Nursery Emsworth is calculated as follows: ( (351 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 382 Ratings = 4.919

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Daisy Chain Nursery Emsworth is based on 32 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 39 number of registered child places is 7.8, which has been reached with 32 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
