Absolutely fantastic staff in Daisy Day Nursery - Llanishen! Daffodils staff in particular have been fantastic with my child and his fussy eating habits!
Staff have engaged my child in everything even though he is non-verbal and suspected hearing problems, they have really made a massive effort to
make my child and myself feel comfortable at the nursery... even got him eating in nursery whereas before he wouldn’t eat anything at nursery - massive relief, he seems to try everything they give him now even if he doesn’t eat it all and that’s thanks to the staff in Daffodils.
Couldn’t recommend Daisy Day Nursery enough! Very accommodating and lovely staff members across the board.

My daughter is 2 years old and started at Daisy Day Nursery at the start of COVID-19 due to us being key workers. She has never been to a nursery prior to this so I was apprehensive. My daughter absolutely loves it there. She’s happy going in and talks about the staff when she gets home. The food is
incredible and the activities are brilliant. I particularly love the app so I can see what my daughter has eaten etc throughout the day. I’ve decided to keep my daughter there long term despite being registered for a nursery closer to home! Highly recommended.

Reply from Fern Harris, Manager at Daisy Day Nursery - Llanishen

Thank you Laura for your lovely comments!
We were so glad to be able to stay open for key workers during the Covid-19 lockdown, it was such a difficult time for parents and were relieved to be able to help in whatever way we could. I'm so happy that your little one is staying with us, it's lovely to see how well she has settled in.

We attended the nursery as a short term, due to the pandemic. All the staff were so lovely, helpful and welcoming right from the start, even knowing that this was going to be a short term arrangement. We would have been completely lost without them. My daughter absolutely loved her time there and we
were at complete ease with her being there. The app was updated hour by hour, which was also really helpful. It was also clear that everyone involved with my daughters care had taken the time to read her forms and got to know her straight away. Also as new faces to the nursery, we witnessed robust safeguarding and security for pick-up and drop-offs. Can not recommend this nursery more and so grateful to all the staff for keeping their nursery open during such challenging times.

This is a lovely nursery with large indoor spaces and a sizeable garden. The staff are very flexible with specific requests and we are also able to take advantage of the wrap around care to a local school.

Thank you Joanna for your very kind feedback. We are very pleased to be able to help out with the wraparound and understand how difficult this can be to manage when you are working.

I can honestly say that my daughter loves this nursery. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. Without the staff members at Daisy Day Nursery, I wouldn't be happy leaving my daughter with them.
Also, the wrap-around service is fantastic when you're a full-time mum like me. And the app they have,
when you're in work they send photos and what they've eaten. It's worth every penny.

My little boy started at Daisy Day in the Bumblebee room in October. I was concerned as to how he would settle and was quite anxious about how he would cope in a nursery setting.
However, I needn’t have worried as he has settled really well and now looks forward to going every session! I’m sure this
is down to the lovely staff and the calm and nurturing environment he is in.

My 2-year-old daughter has been at Daisy Day for the last year and she absolutely loves it there. Every nursery day, she is filled with excitement at seeing the staff and her friends, as a working mum, I couldn’t ask for anything more! The new facilities are amazing as is the outdoor space, there’s
always plenty of activities going on and the staff are all fantastic with the children.

We have been thrilled with the level of care and professionalism exhibited by all staff in Daisy Day, Llanishen over the last year. The childcare staff are friendly, approachable and committed, and have provided age-appropriate care and activities for our child. We have used full-day care, wrap-around
and soon will be placing our daughter in Camp over Summer. We wouldn't hesitate to use Daisy Day again in the future - our child has been very happy there and that speaks volumes about care provision. Thank you, Daisy Day!

My daughter has been very well cared for during her time at Daisy Day Nursery. The staff have always been very caring and full of life. I am amazed at how much my daughter has grown as a young lady since joining. It is now time for her to move on to school nursery and I am sure she will miss everyone
at Daisy Day Nursery. Thank you for taking such good care of my daughter.

Reply from Fern Harris at Daisy Day Nursery - Llanishen

Thank you for your kind words, Catherine, we wish you all the best of luck for the future and I hope your daughter enjoys her new adventures at school.

Our daughter has been attending Daisy Day Nursery since January 2019. We find that now that she has settled in, she's always happy to arrive at nursery and is happy when we pick her up. Our daughter seems to like individual staff and always seems happy to see them.

What to say, its a mother's worst nightmare knowing you have to finish maternity and go back to work.
I view numerous nurseries and by far this one stood out the most, was very friendly and welcoming. When I booked an appointment I had taken my daughter with me and whilst talking to the manager she
had got out toys for my little girl to play with whilst we went through all the paperwork.
Then when we went down to all the rooms we had such a lovely warm and friendly welcome from everybody in all of the rooms.
When my little girl had her settling in visits, it made me feel at ease once she had settled down. I would receive a phone call to say she was happy and playing with all of her new little friends.
I would thoroughly recommend this nursery to any parent who is looking for a nursery for their children to go to as you will receive a very warm welcome and feel like you are a part of the nursery already.

My granddaughter attends 2-3 mornings per week and I collect her. When I arrive she is always happy and smiling, which says she is enjoying nursery. The staff are lovely and facilities good. Also, we are kept informed about nursery and how my granddaughter is doing. We looked at many nurseries and were
happy with Daisy Day Nursery from our first visit. Would recommend to others.

Our experience with Daisy Day has been 100% positive. They have looked after my two children and they always seemed very happy when I picked them up.
The staff are very friendly and very affectionate with the children. They are always very welcoming and give us a detailed update of what the children
have been up to.
They plan very good and relative activities and outings for the children. Their wraparound and after school service is fantastic.
We are very pleased with the service we get from the nursery.

My daughter has attended Daisy Day Nursery since Spring 2017. She has loved going there and received a warm welcome from the start. She formed a strong bond with her first key worker. They are very conscious of safety at the nursery (locking doors etc) and it always seems to be a clean environment for
the children to be in. When there have been illness issues they have been very quick to notify us.

We have been very happy with every aspect of care my son has received from day one - he has now been there 3 years and we had no hesitation of booking our daughter in to start next month.
The staff are friendly and all make an effort to get to know all of the children - making transitions between
rooms much easier.
The added bonus of wrap around care has helped our son settle into the school knowing he was going back to his safe and friendly nursery environment (and having a trip in the big orange with his friends makes it even more exciting!)
I have happily recommended to a number of friends and would do again.
A small happy and friendly environment for you to know your child is safe and happy.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.600)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.600) 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 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 4.837 for Daisy Day Nursery - Llanishen is calculated as follows: ( (183 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.837

  • 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 4.763 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Daisy Day Nursery - Llanishen is based on 18 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. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.6 = 0.763

  • 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.
