The biggest compliment I can give Daisy Chain is that every day it's nursery day. My child can't wait to get there and see not only her friends but the staff!
The welcoming environment for her makes her enjoy every day she goes. The learning and social skills that she has picked up have helped her
come along so quickly that she will be more than ready to start primary school in September.

My kids have all attended this nursery and I've never had any problems with it. The staff are kind and so helpful my son who is autistic has come such a long way since attending he can now speak sentences clear aswell. He loves his peers and the nursery itself is beautiful colourful exactly what you'd
expect a nursery to be.

Used Daisy Chain Middleton for all my boys my eldest being 15 years old. they've always had a high standard of care with all children and are always happy polite and just lovely bunch! It was a no brainer to enrol my daughter into there when she comes of age and she's a velcro child and they've eased
her in amazingly they don't mind that I ring every hour to make sure she's okay if she's been upset when I've dropped her off, there is still the original staff in there which is amazing to know they've watched my children grow and again get to watch my little girl grow too.
This nursery is by far one of the best in the area and I will always recommend to friends and family's who are local.
Thank you for all you've done for my boys and do now for my daughter you really are amazing ladies.

I put September as my child started from then but my child is still attending. I highly recommend this nursery as from the minute my child started they have been welcoming, friendly and helpful. Any questions or worries I have they try and help the best way they can. After what happened at my child's
last nursery I have no worries when my child is here and I feel at ease leaving my child there. I recommend this nursery to anyone I have conversations with. Only thing I wish was that they upload more photos of my child when my child is there so I can know more about my child's day as my child doesn't remember or can tell me what they have done but I understand they won't always have time to upload with it being such a busy nursery. I will be gutted when my child leaves as this nursery is amazing.

My daughter has attended Daisy Chain from the age of 2, she has grown so much in confidence since as she used to be quite attached, but with the patience of the staff and the lovely relationships she has made with all the staff and her friends at nursery she now walks in so happy and confident ready
to start her nursery day. All the staff are so lovely and caring towards her, and she always comes home telling me all about them. She has such an amazing time and she can't wait to go back each day.

It's a lovely experience for all of us, he's always happy and he can't wait to go back to nursery, so much appreciated support from all the amazing staff and verry well looked after. It's so helpful when he's being encouraged to do what he likes, to express himself and to get along with all the other
kids.

Perfect setting for any child! The staff are very considerate and accommodate your child's needs perfectly. They are all very friendly and helpful. Any problem you can approach them at any time. My child started here in November 2021 and unlike another preschool he attended before here, he never went
in crying. He was always so happy to see them. Walked straight in and I didn't get a bye from him half the time! Which is positive because he obviously felt comfortable and happy with them all. If I had any more children I would definitely send them to Daisy Chains! Perfect setting and perfect staff!

My experience at Daisy Chain Pre-School has been fantastic. She had a lovely time while at the nursery - learning and developing socially and intellectually.
My child is now very confident and vocal outside the house - her comfort zone.

My child has been at Daisy Chains for two years. A great nursery setting. They have helped at the start with potty training and later picking up on his speech issues and getting the help he needs. All the staff have helped my child tremendously with his speech problems and preparing him for his new
school setting. They have been amazing. I feel all the staff have gone above and beyond to help him in every way.

Daisy Chain Pre-School are a fantastic nursery. Our son really enjoys going each day. He was unsettled at his previous nursery but at Daisy Chain he has settled really well. The staff are all really approachable and friendly. They successfully helped my son when he had potty training issues and I felt
they worked closely with us as parents through the process. They communicate with parents on a regular basis and always give good feedback at pick up times. My son has thrived at Daisy Chain and I would highly recommend them.

My daughter absolutely loved attending Daisy Chain. The staff are so lovely, friendly and very welcoming. My daughter always came home with a happy face and was always eager and excited to attend nursery. She has become more of a character and her speech has come on incredibly. She enjoyed the food
which was accompanied by the nursery, I cannot thank the staff enough for all the work they do, they are amazing!

We have sent both of our daughters to Daisy Chain, and the experience they/we have had over the last 4 years has been nothing but excellent. They have always felt safe and the one to one interaction has been fantastic. I have always felt confident that my children will be looked after well and their
happy faces after returning from Daisy Chain says it all! I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Since starting Daisy Chain my son has progressed immeasurably in both his speech and also his socialisation. He is always happy to go to nursery and tells us about the varied activities on a daily basis. The staff seem keen to encourage him to keep learning new skills and he is not restricted by the
abilities of his classmates as they spend time with him alone to help him progress. We are very happy with the care and education at Daisy Chian and would happily recommend it.

The staff are very friendly and very supportive of any issues. They always have a smile and always make us feel very welcome and update

My daughter's first time at a nursery made to feel very welcome and comfortable. Made me feel assured that my child would be safe, happy and comfortable there. Very helpful and supportive of her dietary needs. My child loves it here and I love hearing about her day and seeing what she has done. Her
clothes tell me she's had fun and enjoyed herself and made memories.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.307)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.307) out of 10 for Daisy Chain Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 8 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 4.936 for Daisy Chain Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (90 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.936

  • 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 4.371 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Daisy Chain Pre-School is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 70 number of registered child places is 14. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.571

  • 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.
