Made to feel very welcome from the very beginning. My son was hesitant at first about leaving me but it didn't take long before he was happy to wave me goodbye and run off to play.
This to me meant he was very comfortable with the staff and surroundings. This made me feel more at ease when leaving
my child. The nursery is lovely and all the kids look happy. There is lots for them to do to keep them busy. My son's behaviour has calmed right down and I believe that's with the help of the nursery.

I have noticed since starting Daisy Chain that my son has picked up on a lot of understanding of animal sounds and names of each individual animal.
Knows how to line toys up in a straight line. Very happy with how he's progressing.

My experience so far is so positive, I thought my child would not like school, she settled from day 1.
I like the happy environment my child attended and welcome every day she is in school.
This is the best thing I did was to let her attend school at 2 years old.
I also like the online app that I
can see my child progress and see how much she enjoys Daisy Chains.

One of my friends recommended Daisy Chain to me for my little girl.
And I made the best choice.
The staff are friendly, nice, always ready to help.
The space is clean, lots of facilities and activities for the little ones.
My girl comes to the nursery with joy.
All that you would expect from a
place where kids can spend their time.

My son thoroughly loves coming to Daisy Chain, it has brought out his confidence and socialising skills. The staff are amazing, show the children so much care and attention. The information provided at pick up times really gives me a true reflection of his day and I love looking at his pictures on the
Tapestry app. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

I can't recommend Daisy Chain enough. My child has lots of fun whilst learning and the staff are great. My child talks about the girls regularly.


I also love getting the Tapestry observations, it's great seeing pictures of her having fun!

From the beginning, this pre-school was perfect for our son. He was delighted during the open day, as were we.


After the year of attending Daisy Chain, our son has made huge progress, his English is much better and is still developing.


The teachers are great, they do a lot of activities every

day, our son enjoys it.


Generally, as parents, we are very happy with this pre-school: great teachers, healthy food for kids, fantastic kids, safety. Thank you.

Our daughter has settled really well, she enjoys going. Lots of resources to play with and she is always exhausted when she gets home. It was a big decision to decide sending her to pre-school, but the best decision for her.

I would recommend Daisy Chain.
My son has been here over a year and is very happy here.
He always comes home and tells me about his day.
The staff are great and always get feedback after every session.
My son has come out of his shell more and has more confidence around other children.

As a family, we feel we have found the right place for our daughter.
She has only been going for a short time but already we have seen her making friends, following instructions and having lots of learning fun!
We are all happy and would like to say a massive 'Thank you' to all the staff.
Looking
forward to getting to know the nursery better.

My child has been at this nursery for almost 18 months and she has loved every second. She's come on leaps and bounds with her talking and listening skills. The staff at Daisy Chains are lovely, very friendly and always happy to talk at drop-offs and pick-ups. Very clean nursery and good facilities.

I had 2 nurseries in mind for my son. I went to take a look around Daisy Chain first and instantly got a good feeling. It made me feel at ease just being there. I knew my son would like it too. Cleanliness is important to me and it was very clean and tidy when I visited. Everyone was so helpful and
answered any questions I had to ask. Definitely recommend Daisy Chain Middleton.

My little one had an unsettled start when he went back to nursery after the 6 week holidays but the staff in his new room/area were fantastic at helping him settle and feel comfortable and gain confidence. Staff build bonds with each child so the children can have a hug, helping hand or just someone
to trust. I find that helps me as a mum feel more settled and reassured that my little one is safe, happy and cared for when he's away from me.

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.
