The nursery is always very clean, it is light and the rooms are big so it feels very bright and welcoming, the children have a lot of space to play. There are lots of toys, they do lots of activities and the meals are always healthy and sound tasty. The staff are always absolutely lovely and friendly
and will have a good chat about your child’s day when you collect them, which is lovely. It's quite expensive, but the facilities are much better than any other nursery we looked at and it was so clean and bright compared to the others.

Thank you for your lovely feedback about our nursery, the team will be delighted to read your review.

My daughter started nursery and settled in very well thanks to the staff at Daisy Day Nursery. The staff have been amazing, good communication throughout the day. My daughter seems to really enjoy going and is kept entertained throughout the day. On arrival, the staff are always pleasant and happy to
see us.

My son (10 months) started his settling sessions early January, working up to going in 4 days a week. I was so nervous as he’s definitely a mammy's boy and very clingy. He was quite upset to start with, but the team were amazing, adapting to his needs and his likes, even singing his favourite songs
to make him feel more comfortable. He finished his first full week last week and he has been like a different child in the evenings. He’s so happy, undertaking far more independent play, constantly smiling. The photo updates and written updates have put my mind at ease at work, he’s smiling, exploring and really enjoying himself. The whole team make a personal effort to get to know the children and parents which I love. I’m 100% happy I chose Daisy Day Care and would highly recommend them.

My daughter started at Daisy Bluebells at the end of October 2023. Her development had a huge jump since. She is drawing, doing art, and socialising with other kids very well. I believe it's all down to the staff. They also assisted my request of weaning her off from breastfeeding which was a huge change
for both of us. Now she's on cows milk and water only which I am forever thankful for. They give us feedback every time we pick her up and have a monthly review as well by the key carer. She also has a plan for how to start to help her with talking now. I am really greatful for all the staff. Everyone I ever spoke to is very polite, kind and smiley. Great job you do all!

I have used Daisy Nursery with both of my children from the around the age of 1 until they entered another wrap around service. I can’t recommend them highly enough. I feel so comfortable with the security and safety they offer, even when they are offsite for collections/drop offs. The staff are all
so friendly and welcoming and they really care for the children they look after. Both of my children have had lovely relationships with their key workers and I think that is a great reflection of their care. They are always taking part in fun and educational activities and love spending time at nursery. Thank you!

The daycare has been fantastic in supporting my little boy. He started when he was quite young and has had continued support throughout his time there. He’s 10 months now and he’s always coming home smiling after having a fun-filled day. He’s grown into such a well-rounded and socialised boy. Truly
a great setting with staff who care about the children!

I definitely recommend Daisy Day Care, my boy went here a few years ago and now my daughter has just started in December. The communication between parent and nursery is excellent. They adapt very well with certain situations and always listen and take on board new routines etc.

We were very reluctant to put our son into a nursery but since he's been coming to Daisy Day Nursery he is starting to become more confident and more sociable.
They are so kind and have made our son feel so welcome and they are always so friendly.

A very lovely nursery. My daughter attends and son did attend when he was smaller. Daisy has always had lovely staff. Both children have had lovely key workers. It’s gone expensive yet nothing is changing. The food is good, however an evening meal could be more of a meal rather than a snack as my daughter
is so tired when she gets home she needs to go straight to bed. The pictures on the pegs have been changed to black and white and I think this makes it look cheap. Used to be so lovely seeing your child’s picture on the peg in colour. I have had to tell staff to put a vest back on my daughter after being changed. When getting wet or dirty. Staff would change only the top and not put the clean vest I provided back on her. I have noticed a massive decline in pictures being brought home compared to my son. My son was always coming home with art/pictures he had painted. I think there could be more room for parents like me who don’t drive to be able to leave a pram. Nursery is clean.

Excellent nursery - they made myself and my child feel very welcomed and have supported with all transitions (most recently, transition to the next age group). I feel that my child’s happiness and development is key and he’s made incredible progress since starting in June. We are kept in the loop at
all times and the staff are incredibly understanding and supportive. Have recommended Daisy to multiple mum friends!

Both of our children attend Daisy and Camp Coconuts and we couldn’t be happier with the care they receive. The staff go all out to make the place a warm environment and the app is a great source of information on each child throughout the day. Both of our children have made fantastic relationships with
the carers and they’re very friendly and personable with us as parents too. Thanks for all of your hard work!

Both of my children have been with Daisy's since 2022. The care from staff and key carers has always been excellent. I have always had great insights to the children's' days and I have always felt listened to when expressing any concerns. When the kids move up rooms I always feel sad, as they build
such great bonds with their key carers, but am always put straight back at ease when they are allocated someone new who shows them the same love and care.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.836)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.836) out of 10 for Daisy Day Nursery - Barry 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 47 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 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 4.836 for Daisy Day Nursery - Barry is calculated as follows: ( (481 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 561 Ratings = 4.836

  • 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 Day Nursery - Barry is based on 46 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 77 number of registered child places is 15.4, which has been reached with 46 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.
