Both my sons attend Daisy Fay’s Chiverton. We knew our second son would be loved and cared for by the team who go out of their way to make the children feel valued just as they did with our first. As busy parents, we highly value their quick and efficient communication! Also their willingness to work
with parents to fit in with children’s naps, potty training etc.
Our children have thrived here and look forward to going.

My son has always been excited and always looking forward to going to nursery and that means that he is enjoying it a lot. The staff were always helpful, sweet and caring and that makes my son comfortable in the facility. There was not much of settling in as he was already happy and he is learning a
lot through a lot of activities. What I love about the facility is the kids are having fun while learning.

My son has attended Daisy Fays at Chiverton for over twelve months now. I was concerned that only one day a week might be difficult for him, but the staff were great at helping him to settle in. He now absolutely loves his nursery days and runs in each week without giving me a second glance! They do
great fun activities and I really love that he gets a home cooked lunch and healthy snacks.

Reply from Beth Walsh, Manager at Daisy Fays Nursery Chiverton Cross

Thank you so much for this lovely review. We are so pleased he loves his time at nursery. I will be sure to let the staff know how much you appreciate all the fun activities we do here.

I have been very impressed with the standard of care my child has received in the past year of being at Daisy Fays. The willingness of the staff to go above and beyond to meet the needs of my child and always being happy to try something new with them if needed is so reassuring to me as a parent. We
have smiles going in and smiles coming out from my child, always looking like they have had a great day playing and learning! I would recommend Daisy Fay’s to anyone looking for a nursery!

I really cannot speak highly enough of the excellent care and attention, my two granddaughters have received from the Daisy Fays staff at Chiverton Cross. My eldest granddaughter will soon be moving on to school, and both girls have flourished under the happy and engaging activities and structured play,
that Daisy Fays offers the various different age groups. It is so wonderful to know that both children are being so expertly looked after. Thank you to all the staff.

We cannot thank Daisy Fays enough for such a lovely experience at a nursery. Supporting us with our child who had a diagnosis of cerebral palsy. All the staff are supportive welcoming and friendly. The effort put into everyday activities and small arts and crafts that come home. Celebrating Christmas
and school leavers graduation we are sad to see our eldest leave. Thanks all for your hard work and compassion, especially through COVID!

I have had two children go to this nursery and both children have been expertly cared for. It’s made going to work so much easier, knowing that our children are safe and cared for. The staff are so friendly and really care about the children and their needs. One of my children, who is now at school,
needed a tiny bit of extra support due to having hearing issues and the nursery was so wonderful at helping and supporting us!

The staff at Daisy Fays Chiverton have been amazing with my little girl. I’ve watched her grow and thrive in the nursery for a little over 2 years now, and I’ll be very sad to say goodbye when my daughter starts school in September. It’s very clear how much love and attention they give to each and every
child and as a nervous first-time mum, they’ve allowed me to fully put my trust in them that my daughter will be looked after in their care. My daughter has gone from a very shy little girl to a complete sass queen - and the nursery play a huge part in her confidence and growth in the past two years. Thank you to the whole team at Daisy Fays - we will enjoy our last couple of months with you before a very emotional goodbye!

Reply from Beth Walsh, Manager at Daisy Fays Nursery Chiverton Cross

Thank you for such a lovely review and it has been so lovely to watch your little girl thrive as she progressed through our nursery. She is so ready for the next exciting adventure which she will take in her stride and enjoy every minute.

Our daughter started at Daisy Fays Chiverton in September and it was the best decision we made. The staff are simply incredible: so nurturing, kind and supportive. She has gone from strength to strength in their care. Both the key workers she has had have developed her confidence and independence while
forming amazing bonds. She is excited to attend each day and we love seeing what she gets up to via the app. Communication is excellent and staff are always on hand to answer any queries quickly. I think she eats better than we do most days, their food is brilliant.
I honestly feel so lucky that we call Daisy Fays our nursery. We love it. And we would recommend it to anyone. We will be sad when she moves out of the baby room as she adores her key worker but what is amazing is she has already formed bonds with staff in other rooms. Thank you all! You are awesome!

We are so pleased with Daisy Fays Chiverton. Our eldest has been through the nursery, from the baby room to the preschool room and has thoroughly enjoyed his time there. Our twin babies are in the baby room, and we always feel they are safe and well looked after. The feedback is fantastic, and it's
reassuring to know that they are in great hands.
The food options are great and nutritional, and I love that they have their own chef who provides proper food.
The staff are always friendly and go above and beyond. Communication between staff has always been noticeable of a high standard and between staff and families is also good. Thank you!

My child, who has suspected autism, has been attending since September 2021. When looking for a nursery, Daisy Fay's Chiverton were the only ones that took a genuine interest in him and his specific needs; they bent over backwards to make him feel welcome and comfortable there. The staff are amazing!
For the best part of his first year, there he was, non-verbal, non-communicative and rather difficult to handle most times. His confidence since being there has grown enormously, and his speech has come on so, so much, and I owe it all to the ladies at Daisy Fay's, old and new. He's so completely different now, and it's an absolute joy to get to know him all over again for the cheeky little chap that he is turning out to be. Even though we have a local nursery much closer to home, I'll be sending my other two children to Daisy Fay's Chiverton when their time comes. Really incredible place.

This is our first nursery experience with our first born and it has been really positive. I was very anxious and upset about my son starting nursery and the staff team were so supportive and kept in close contact until I was ready. My son also has a cows milk protein allergy and this has been supported
well.

Since our daughter started at Daisy Fays she has become confident and very good at talking and singing/dancing all the time. She tells us every week how much she loves pre-school and has made lots of friends and loves her teachers. We feel happy knowing that when we drop our daughter off at Daisy Fays
she always has a really good time and goes in excited and leaves a happy girl telling us all about her day.

We are really happy with Daisy Fays. Our daughter has been attending for 3 years since she was 18 months. The settling in period was tricky but massively enhanced by the nurturing nature of the staff and their flexibility. Our daughter has been really happy, she loves the staff, the food is great and
we have been well catered for as a vegan family. The staff are friendly and inclusive. My daughter is learning lots and the transition to school is being handled really well. I would recommend the nursery to anyone.

We are so pleased with Daisy Fays at Chiverton. Actually, that’s an understatement, we will be forever grateful for the fantastic start in life our son is experiencing with all of the staff and key workers at Daisy Fays. He is such a happy boy. Starting at Daisy Fays when he was 9 months old, we are
so impressed with his continued learning and development, now having just graduated into their preschool we continue to be astounded by the hard work, dedication, and care from all the staff. Not to mention the support and feedback we get from everyone we have met along the way. We thank our lucky stars we chose this nursery and believe he really is getting the best start and nurturing that he can possibly receive when he is not with us. Many thanks

My daughter has been coming to Daisy Fays since she was nine months old. She loves it and has made lots of friends. All the workers are very professional and friendly. She has made lovely relationships with both fellow children and workers. Clean and bright although the outside area is small. All areas
are visible which I think is great, meaning your child is never unsupervised.
I think the care is value for money.
I like the electronic notes about her day/progress. All the staff I have spoken to from workers to head office have always been excellent. We will miss Daisy Fays when she starts school in September.

My son has really come on leaps and bounds since joining Daisy Fays Nursery, he loves socialising with all the other children and staff.
The staff are lovely and always update us on our son's day and update the app with pictures and little video clips.
The only small downside to the nursery is the
outside space isn’t very big but it doesn’t really affect the children playing outside daily in all weather!
I would recommend the nursery to any parent looking for a nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.833)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.833) out of 10 for Daisy Fays Nursery Chiverton Cross 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.833 for Daisy Fays Nursery Chiverton Cross is calculated as follows: ( (317 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 371 Ratings = 4.833

  • 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 Fays Nursery Chiverton Cross is based on 31 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 42 number of registered child places is 8.4, which has been reached with 31 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.

I enjoy all aspects of my job from the organisation to the nurturing of the children who come through our setting.

Watching them progress from babies to then graduating is such an amazing opportunity for us all and knowing we have given our all to the children in preparation for school is a huge proud moment for me within Daisy Fays.


I love to spend time with my family and our favourite thing to do is to go away in our newly renovated motor home. We love to explore different parts of Cornwall, but we still haven't managed to see My family all enjoy clay pigeon shooting and my husband shoots professionally- so again we love to go away on little adventures with him and explore.


I love to cook for my family and friends and love nothing more than a BBQ with all my family!!!
