I can't speak well enough of this nursery. The setting is amazing, big, clean and with all sorts of nice spaces for the children. But the staff is the best they have! They are caring and loving, my daughter absolutely loves the nursery, which is a blessing for every parent, as the last thing we want
is to leave them! But I am so happy with them, I feel my baby is safe and happy with them. She is learning and I am updated about almost everything they do during the day, I even ask them for advice. Highly recommended!

Since starting at Daisy Day Nursery I have seen a huge change in my granddaughter who is 2yrs old, she is more receptive to family and friends as she had separation issues with her mother, her vocabulary is amazing for her age and she is able to communicate with her actions too. It is hard to leave
your little ones in the care of others, my grandson was put into another nursery during his time with Daisy Days (due to his parents work commitments), and was quickly returned to their care as there was no comparison for his overall wellbeing and development. All the staff are mindful and considerate, giving you an overview of your child's day on pick-up, the centre itself is always clean and tidy, my grandchild loves the outside area and the little walks they take to see the horses. As a grandparent who regularly picks up my granddaughter, it is always a pleasure as the staff are friendly and informative and for me the best part is my granddaughter is always happy when I pick her up.

My daughter attends Daisy's twice a week and she absolutely loves going to nursery. She's always happy when I pick her up from a great fun packed day of activities. The girls at Daisy's are fab everything I have asked for the care of my daughter has been met. It makes me feel a whole lot less guilty
knowing she's in great hands and having the best time. 5 stars all round.

My little boy has been in Daisy Day Nursery for a year now and he is thriving! From the little boy he was when he started, to the little boy he is today - he has truly grown so much confidence and has become his own little character. All the staff are so welcoming, friendly and hardworking. You can
see how they truly care for the children and how much effort they put into building friendships with the Children ensuring they're happy in the Nursery. I would recommend Daisy Day to anyone who is looking for childcare as it truly beats all the rest.
The environment, the staff, the healthy food options and the activities are all 10/10. Thank you Daisy Day and the staff in Bumbles Bees for everything you've done and continue to do!

Daisy Day Nursery has been fantastic. Leaving your little one with anybody is a scary process, but the whole time has been incredible. The environment is wonderful and our little girl loves the staff there. The app has been useful with constant updates throughout the day, including pictures and the
development reports are a great insight into how our child is developing.

My now 2-year-old son has been attending this nursery since he was just under one year of age. He has progressed through to three classes and all three have had an incredible handful of staff members who have always been nothing but loving, caring and supportive in every way a carer would want their
child to be supported. The growth and development my child has shown over this period of time is always so warming to witness. The classroom is full of tons of exciting and educational toys. The days are always mapped out with fun activities to keep the children on their toes which I think is great because my little one always returns home with an empty battery almost which is exactly what you need after a long working day. Their meals are also really well thought out. I love that my child gets to explore different eating options each day he is there and often I learn about new things he now likes to eat. The best decision I have made for my child and I will not be looking back.

Our son has been going for nearly two years now, and throughout his time, his confidence is forever growing. All the staff are incredible, and there are genuine connections built. He is encouraged to be himself and clearly feels the support around him to try new things. It’s a wonderful little community
with genuine care. Genuinely feel fortunate we were able to get a place for him. The value for money, food, etc, is very fair indeed and they have such a wide variety of activities planned, trips planned, etc, that you can clearly see helps further develop their learning.

The smooth transition to Bluebells back in November worked wonders for our little girl. She waves us off each day, and the staff are fabulous! We love getting photo updates. Staff are always there to provide updates at the beginning and end of each day, which we love hearing.

Excellent nursery - my son has been going to Daisy Day since he was nine months old. I haven’t got a bad word to say about it. The staff are lovely and we get regular updates about his day. It’s spotless, a very safe and secure nursery with parking, which makes pick up and drop off a lot easier. My
little boy loves attending which makes everything better. I couldn’t recommend them enough.

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.
