My little girl is in Bluebells at Llanishen Daisy Day and has been since Jan this year! She goes in everyday with a smile on her face and adores her key persons.


We get lots of lovely updates with pictures from the nursery of all the activities she has been doing which are fab to see! She is often

on walks and trips / garden play so great that the nursery takes them out so often! Really pleased with the nursery and also with how easily her settled into the environment. Really great that they have things like Parents Evening and Mother day play sessions too that we can attend.

Would not hesitate to recommend Daisy Day at Llanishen, the nursery staff went above and beyond to help our son settle in when we moved nurseries and he has so much fun and is learning new things every day. Staff are all lovely and really have got to known our son well. He's thriving and we really appreciate
all that they do.

We always have great communication from staff from what they do in the day to their overall development as well as handy tips for development at home. Their interactions with my child are always very pleasant. My child talks about her day with staff positively everyday. We are thrilled that she eats
so well there also. All round I highly recommend Daisy Day to anyone who is looking for a safe and nurturing environment for their child

My son has been attending Daisy day Llanishen since he was just over a year over he is now 4 and still loves it. He has progressed so much, his development overall I give credit to all the hard work the staff at this nursery give to each child.
I get regular communication throughout the day and anything
I feel I need to communicate there is always someone on hand to help. I have never had an issue with my son wanting to attend. He looks forward to being at the nursery even on a weekend when it's closed! I find that I have been able to add extra days last minute if the nursery have the availability and always feel welcomed by all. Thank you Daisy Day Llanishen for your continuous commitment to my son development and wellbeing whilst with you.

My son is currently in Daisy Day Llanishen, and has been for 3 years. He absolutely loves it there and myself and his mum have the upmost confidence in the staff who always go the extra mile. I would happily recommend Daisy Day to anyone looking to put their child in a safe environment, which is without

The nursery is really welcoming and my child has been very happy in each room they have gone to as they have grown. My son is happy and likes all the staff and is happy going in and coming home. I get good regular updates on his day and he enjoys playing in the garden. It is clean and well maintained
and i am happy he is safe and having a good time while I am at work. He has also learned to love crafts and is starting to sing and speak in Welsh and English from his learning through play.

My son joined the nursery in December 2023, the getting to know you session and settling in process was great and made us as parents feel very reassured and more importantly my son has settled well. We’ve seen his development come on leaps and bounds within the space of a few weeks. The communication
at pick-up and drop-off from members of staff is also good and the nursery app is brilliant and puts me at ease having updates throughout the day. I’ve also been impressed with the meals that are prepared for the children, my son can not only feed himself better but has been trying a good variety of foods.

My eldest daughter has attended Daisy Day Nursery for two years and her little sister has recently joined. They impressed me from the very first visit, the building is kept in an excellent condition, the cleaners are often onside and visible. The facilities inside and out are great, with lots of different
and engaging toys for the appropriate ages. The care shown by the nursery staff is second to none, every member of staff is friendly and welcoming. The staff put out different activities, including lots of sensory/messy play, and we receive updates throughout the day to say what the children have done and eaten. My daughter loves it there and runs up to the staff in morning. I can't recommend them enough.

We had a tough settling in period but the staff were so reassuring, friendly and understanding that it made things easier for both me and my son. Now he is settled he loves going to Daisy Day Nursery. He gets super excited every morning as we leave the house and when he gets dropped off. It is lovely
to know that he is having the best time and is nice to see him so proud to bring home the crafts he has made. We love the app they use so we can see what he's up to during the day. The building is secure and clean. Food is varied and prepared on-site.

My daughter has been coming for some time, my elder daughter also used to attend. It's always a lovely welcoming environment for my daughter, she loves it and now we are on Christmas break, she keeps asking when she can go back. She has some lovely bonds with staff members there and always feels safe
and happy at nursery... her highlight is the orange bus!

The staff are always friendly at drop off and pick up. They have good communication at pick up and also on the app during the day if updates are needed about something in particular. When needing extra days the communication with the management is great and they always get back to you very quickly.
The staff are very good with allergies which keeps us parents at ease.

The staff are caring and attentive. They provide lovely feedback of what the kids have been doing and learning. The kids all seem happy and there is plenty to do. They often take the older children on trips, which they love. The wrap around service is reliable and affordable. Management have always
got back to queries very quickly and have been amenable to change in days etc. Very good.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.822)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.822) out of 10 for Daisy Day Nursery - Llanishen is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.847 for Daisy Day Nursery - Llanishen is calculated as follows: ( (236 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 275 Ratings = 4.847

  • 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 4.975 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Daisy Day Nursery - Llanishen is based on 23 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 118 number of registered child places is 23.6. 23 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.6 = 0.975

  • 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.
