Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The best decision we ever made! From day one, both our daughter and we were smitten with the warm and welcoming staff. Their professionalism coupled with genuine smiles, made us feel like part of the family. They go the extra mile by treating each child as an individual, ensuring a safe and nurturing
environment. Our daughter eagerly looks forward to nursery days, waking up excited to see her favourite ladies and friends. The progress we've witnessed in her English, counting skills, and her newfound love for cooking and games is remarkable. She even entertains us with nursery songs she's learned. Let's not forget the fantastic and delicious lunches they serve – our daughter loves them so much that she wants us to recreate similar meals at home. Witnessing her return home with a beaming smile and observing her significant developmental strides fills our hearts with joy. It's a place where smiles, growth and learning flourish, making it a truly exceptional choice for our little one.

Daisy Chain is a beautiful nursery and has friendly staff. My son has been going since he was nine months old and we’ve had no problems. They keep us up to date with what he’s eaten, when he’s drank and gone to the toilet. They also include pictures, which is lovely to see when I’m in work. He settled
in very quickly and loves going into nursery. I’m so glad I chose this nursery. If I was to have any future children, I would send them here.

My son loves going to nursery; he never cries and is always happy to say bye and go in with the staff, which proves that he is receiving the best care and development from the staff. All the staff are so friendly and make you feel comfortable leaving your child with them. It’s daunting leaving your
child, but with this nursery, you walk away knowing they are safe and loved. My son has developed so much since he started at Daisy Chain.

I was recommended by a friend to use this nursery for my one year old son at the time he started and it didn’t disappoint. After five months now being there he’s walking, babbling and coming on loads every day. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to other parents
for the care of the children.

My son joined Daisy Chain in September 2022, he quickly settled in due the amazing staff who he has made excellent relationships with. The nursery has a really lovely feel about it and reminded me of being at nursery when I was little. It was quite daunting for me at first leaving my son as it probably
is for all parents but I was reassured and comfortable leaving him. Since joining he has made fantastic progress with his learning, speech and confidence and is completely potty trained. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Daisy Chain Day Nursery is really outstanding compared to other nurseries I visited when I am about to choose the nursery for my son. It has such a warm and welcoming atmosphere, feels as if we are visiting a family home and not a business place. The staff are amazing, all of them are so professional,
friendly and caring. My son has not been easy to settle but the staff were so supportive and kind. They look after my son so well and have time to monitor his development while making sure that he is happy. I am also really happy that they give updates on their app about nappy changes, food intake and provide photos as well so I can see how my son is doing in the nursery. I would definitely recommend Daisy Chain to anyone looking for a nursery.

The staff at Daisy Chains are remarkable, they go above and beyond to fit the needs of all the children and the parents. There is always somebody to speak to if you have any concerns and they provide the best support and advice. Both my children have always loved going to Daisy Chains as it’s a fun,
safe environment where they have both flourished in all aspects of their development. I couldn’t thank Daisy Chains enough for all their hard work and dedication including the chef who provides the children with tasty healthy meals every day and introduces the children to new foods.

Daisy Chain has been the most amazing nursery throughout my sons years, at Daisy Chain nothing is too much trouble he has allergies and we always have faith and reassurance within the staff at Daisy Chain regarding his allergies he always gets a nutritional diet while at nursery even though he has quite
a few allergies, he gets excited to come to nursery to see his teachers and friends as they go above and beyond, he tells us what he’s learnt each day and my son is now in his last year before he leaves to start his new adventure and I couldn’t thank the staff enough for teaching and helping my child grow!

Daisy Chain is the best nursery, I looked at a few before putting my little girl here and Daisy Chain had such a warm welcoming feeling and my little girl loves going here, they always do their best for the children in every way they can.
Daisy Chain are always teaching new things and getting them

Nursery and staff are amazing, helped my son settle in who hasn't settled into any nursery before, took time to get him settled and use to the key worker to over eight 1 hour settles then gradually built up the time in my son spends.
My son's language and other developmental areas have come on fantastically
since attending and he can also now count to 10. My son's key worker is fabulous, the whole staff team is so supportive and help in any way they can.
Thank you Daisy Chains and all your staff.

My daughter started her placement at Daisy Chain when she was a few months old so that I could return to university. She has been going to Daisy Chain for a few months now and has settled in really well and loves the staff that look after her.
The staff are very friendly, helpful and make sure that
my daughter has everything she needs as well as take part in various activities that help her development and achieve milestones. I am kept updated on my child's learning journey and the staff are very supportive with anything that I need help with.
It is a safe environment for my daughter where she can learn social skills and make friends. After the events of this year and not having any family that live nearby, I am incredibly grateful for the support of the nursery.

I was looking around at nurseries in the local area for my daughter. I was a bit worried at first because we were all in lockdown but after I visited Daisy Chain I knew straight away I wanted to put her in there as I felt she would be in safe hands.
The staff are all lovely and it makes me feel happy
knowing she really enjoys going in to see her friends and her teachers. I would highly recommend this nursery.

I moved to the area last November (2020) and I wanted my 3year old daughter to start a nursery, I looked around and came across Daisy Chain so I read the reviews and thought give it a go. Well what can I say, I have never been so happy with the choice I made. My daughter loves going to Nursery and I
understand why she has tonnes of fun as she says and also the staff are great so lovely and very helpful. I totally understand why kids enjoy this beautiful nursery. My daughter is confident but little shy she has come out of her shell a lot more. Believe me when I say I highly recommend this place for your child.

My son was 9 months old when he joined Daisy Chain in the height of the current pandemic due to myself and his dad being key workers. I was very nervous with him starting and leaving him after my maternity leave but the staff couldn't be more amazing and welcoming completely putting my mind at ease,
my son absolutely loves his nursery. They keep me up to date with everything and at the end of the day tell me all he has been up to. I would definitely recommend Daisy Chain to anyone looking for a nursery.

Absolutely second to none, the care they provide for my little boy is absolutely amazing! He has flourished so much since being there. I love that I get an update daily via their app as to what he has been up to, what he’s eaten, his nappies etc. Management are always so friendly and happy to help with
anything, nothing is too much hassle for them. The baby room is absolutely gorgeous and so practical for the little ones.
Couldn’t recommend enough!

Could not have chosen a better Nursery for my little girl, every time I pick her up she’s full of smiles and in a great mood for the rest of the day, she loves it! I’ve noticed she is so much more engaged and developed a lot since attending Daisy Chain, an amazing nursery with amazing staff!

My daughter has come on so much since starting this nursery. She was a really quiet child who was very wary of strange people and she is now very outgoing. Her speech has come on so much and they are now helping her towards being potty trained. The girls in this nursery go above and beyond for my daughter,
I would highly recommend them to others.

My son started this nursery in September 2019 and I can honestly say he loves it here. The staff are amazing with him as they are with the other kids, he is always so excited to go to "school" as he calls it and tell his teachers what he has been up to at home. The stuff they do in the classroom is
so hands-on and I can really see the fun my son has had learning that day, making playdough, making gingerbread men making ice, he loves it. Not to mention the daily reports so I can see pictures and hear about everything they have done that day. They keep me updated on what he has eaten and how his behaviour was as well as tell me what he has been working on and what he wants to practice at home, e.g. writing his name or making ice. Even the lovely lady who is the cook at the nursery comes in at the end of her shift and interacts with the kids, he has come home on many an occasion with a painting they did together. I really would love my youngest to go here and I would recommend to all

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.975)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.975) out of 10 for Daisy Chain Day Nursery Walton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.975 for Daisy Chain Day Nursery Walton is calculated as follows: ( (351 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 360 Ratings = 4.975

  • 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 Day Nursery Walton is based on 30 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 53 number of registered child places is 10.6, which has been reached with 30 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.
