I have always found the staff very helpful and extremely supportive and friendly. I have recommended the nursery to several friends and family. Four of my grandchildren have attended over the past 4 years and have always enjoyed their time there.

I cannot express my gratitude enough for everyone working at this establishment. They work hard to maintain the quality care that my child receives. Being able to see snippets of the activities that my child gets into is wonderful. Any issues that have occurred have been dealt with fairly and in a professional
manner. Very open communication on every development that affects all aspects of the nursery. I can say easily that my child is the best he could be due to the efforts of all the staff involved in his care. Any queries I've had are responded to quickly through the app. Ten out of ten, would have another child attend!

Our daughter is always happy to go to nursery, especially if a visit to the play centre or the horses is on the agenda. She enjoys making friends and playing. Sadly price increases will lead us to change nurseries.

Thank you for your review - we're glad to hear that your daughter enjoys her time in nursery. We appreciate and understand the strain that childcare costs place on families and we're sorry that you are thinking of leaving.

We have been using Daisy Day nursery for our children for 9 years, they have been wonderful throughout. The nurses and managers are great and always happy to help. I have always felt extremely confident leaving my children with them, including my youngest son who has a serious heart condition.
I have
seen all my children come on so much from being there.
I cannot praise them enough.

Daisy's has been a huge help. We can't thank them enough. Our boys have settled well, and our youngest is growing massively in confidence every day. The staff in the nursery and over in camp have been amazing, and I can see they work hard.
The managers have been kind and fast to respond to my emails.
Registration/settling ins were handled brilliantly.
Home-cooked meals every day, different activities every day, and a lovely atmosphere every day.
Highly recommended.

Fantastic nursery. Everyone is so lovely and helpful and great at keeping you updated. Our children love it and they learn so much and have developed amazing since being there. Highly recommend. Since going to nursery our children have learnt to clap, crawl, eat better. It’s been the best decision for
us. I love how safe the nursery is in terms of location and the outdoor facilities are fantastic.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We visited a number of nurseries in the area before choosing Daisy Day Nursery. Our choice was due to what we saw during our visit and recommendations of friends who had previously sent their children and provided positive recommendations. Our son has been going for over a year and has developed really
well since attending. The staff are very child-centred and get to know your children’s traits which creates good bonds and your child having a good experience. Our child enjoys attending and gets excited in the car drive to the nursery. Communication has been faultless, especially in the Covid period when there were lots of changes for requirements etc would highly recommended.

Reply from Leah Phillips, Quality Manager at Daisy Day Nursery - Barry

Thank you so much for your kind words, Chris - we're thrilled that your experience with us continues to be so positive, and your child enjoys their time with us!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all the staff at Daisy Day Nursery - Barry for everything you've done for my son during the last two years. He's come on leaps and bounds while he has been at Daisy Day Nursery - Barry. He started just before his first birthday and leaves just days before his
third birthday. He started Daisy Day Nursery - Barry and sobbed when he had to leave me, now he runs straight in and doesn't even say goodbye. He's been so happy at Daisy Day Nursery - Barry and his development have been great. Communication has always been fantastic and I've never had any concerns. The app is always up to date and I know he's safe and loved by the staff. I would highly recommend Daisy Day Nursery - Barry to anyone and I am grateful for all you have done to help my little boy become the happy, sociable person that he is.

We had to move our girls to Daisy Day Nursery following the closure of their usual Nursery due to COVID-19. This was heartbreaking for us and we were really unsure - taking them to a place we didn't know, with people we didn't know.
But Daisy Day and all the staff have been fantastic. The girls have
settled really quickly and we couldn't have asked for more support or understanding. Every day, we drop them off and they both skip in with huge smiles on their faces. Our eldest often doesn't want to leave! The girls will now be staying at Daisy Day. Thank you to all the staff for being there when we needed you - you are all brilliant.

This is a really lovely Nursery with friendly, kind and caring staff. My two grandsons have attended Daisy Day Nursery, once since two and a half years old (he is now at school) and the other since four months old (still there and in Wise Owls now). They both have loved it there.

We originally placed our son in a different nursery but soon took him out after some issues and placed him at Daisy. We haven’t looked back since. We felt it was the right place for our son from the minute we walked through the doors. Every single member of staff will acknowledge us and our son, even
if he isn’t in that particular nursery section and he is always made to feel welcome and wanted. I have already and will continue to recommend Daisy to any parents.

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.
