The facilities at the nursery are exceptional, providing a safe and stimulating space for the children to play and learn. The classrooms are bright, well-equipped, and thoughtfully organized, offering various educational materials and engaging activities tailored to each age group. I have been impressed
by the nursery's curriculum, which seamlessly blends structured learning with opportunities for creative expression and play. The emphasis on social and emotional development is evident in the thoughtful approach to each child's unique needs and learning style. What truly sets Daisy Fays Tresillian Nursery apart is the dedicated and caring staff. Every member of the team, from the teachers to the administrative staff, exhibits a deep passion for early childhood education. The transparency and open lines of communication have provided me with great peace of mind. In summary, Daisy Fays Tresillian Nursery has exceeded my expectations in every aspect.

Our 17 month-old little boy has been attending for about two months. He only goes once a week but absolutely loves it. We’re thrilled with how many sensory activities he gets to take part in (like getting messy with paints) and how well-informed we are via the app and at pick-up. I feel that the staff
know him so well already and he sleeps so well in the evening after so I know he gets up to all sorts of lovely busy things! The team are very sweet and drop-offs are pretty seamless at the moment so I know he’s more than happy to go in, which is really reassuring. Thanks so much to all.

My child moved to this nursery from another local one and we are so happy with our decision. Our little one settled very quickly and nothing seemed too much of a problem when getting her settled and adapting to her routine. The staff are fantastic and we have loved watching our daughter's bond grow
with her key worker and the other staff members. We get regular updates on the app and at pick up on what she is up to. Her confidence and skills have developed so much at Daisy Fays. The facilities are great, with lots of areas to explore. There is a big outdoor space which they are out in every day! The activities are varied and suited to age and the weeks are themed with different topics, which we like to get involved with and continue at home. I love that the food is cooked in house and my child gets a warm meal at lunchtime. It would be great if the menu was rotated a little more and perhaps more fresh fruit was offered at snack time. Thank you Daisy Fays!

The nursery is welcoming, friendly, and good at communication. My daughter is very settled there and always goes to the staff with open arms. The meals are always freshly cooked and I’m told my child always eats her snacks and meals so that’s always a good sign.

Our son has been at Daisy Fays Nursery and Tresillian Preschool since his other nursery closed a couple of months ago.
Although we were naturally nervous about him moving settings, he was welcomed by the manager and team perfectly and is so happy going in each day that we didn't need to.
The team
all make the effort to make sure the children are happy and looked after which is a big comfort to parents. The garden is incredibly spacious and gives the children the freedom they need to explore. Each room of the nursery has been carefully designed for the age groups perfectly. I’d fully recommend this nursery and the team to everyone!

Such a lovely nursery. My son loves it there and the staff are amazing. Every day there are new activities and I love hearing about his day, his friends, what he had learnt and seeing him grow.
He enjoys the cooked lunch and snacks and especially loves the outdoor space which is perfect in all weathers.

We've recently moved to the area and my two and a half-year-old son has been attending Daisy Fays Tresillian for about three months. It's a fantastic nursery - highly professional but very friendly, very well equipped and lots of different fun activities. My son loves it.

All the staff at Daisy Fays Tresillian are just so brilliant! They welcome my daughter with open arms and are always happy and cheerful at pick up. They have a great team and it seems like they really focus on developing the younger staff. Management is very approachable and despite very busy days they
are very responsive via email. Communication via their app is brilliant.
They plan a wide range of activities and share themes on the notice board so we can discuss them at home. My daughter has significant allergies and is super difficult with food - they are so accommodating and are all trained to deal with allergic reactions. They are supportive and patient and work so hard to keep the children happy and safe whilst encouraging them to thrive.
I moved my daughter to Daisy Fays from another provider and it was definitely the right choice. Before I’d even seen inside a mum stopped me in the car park and said ‘you will love it- there isn’t a better nursery around.’ She was right.

My son has been going here for the past four months since then we have been in lockdown with this horrible Covid and he has come on in leaps and bounds with his social skills and I cannot think of a better place to send him.
The staff are always at their best, the daily reports are fantastic and put
your mind at ease. I would recommend this place. 10 out of 10.

Our daughter has been attending Daisy Fays Tresillian for a month and I cannot recommend them enough. I felt at ease and reassured to leave her even with the current covid situation. Communication is fantastic. Staff are always happy, friendly and kind. The updates on Eylog are a great idea so we can
see what she has been up to, and to see her progress. All around a great nursery.

I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough, the facilities for starters are fab which I was sold on even before meeting the awesome team. You really feel the staff know your child from the first time they attend and get the most warm and comforting welcome when dropping off for each day. Protocols are
followed, there’s no “this will do attitude”. Once your child has been for a few weeks and has established relationships and settled, observations are regularly done so you can see their progress. Lastly, our babies eat like kings and queens! Amazing, couldn’t fault this nursery at all.

Our two and a half-year-old has only been attending Daisy Fays Tresillian a few months, and their development is already coming on leaps and bounds. He looks forward to seeing his ‘friends’ (which do include the staff there) every day.
The communication between staff and parents is brilliant. It definitely
puts our mind at ease knowing he is in safe hands and having fun whilst learning when he is there.

A truly amazing setting. My three year old recently started at Daisy Fays Nursery, Tresillian and I cannot recommend them highly enough. After being in lockdown and not really socialising much with other children, my little boy was not keen on going and this also made me very apprehensive. However,
the staff at this nursery were not only confident, kind and patient with my son but they were also reassuring with us as parents. Now my boy loves it and cannot wait for nursery days. I also get little updates throughout the week of the amazing activities he does and goals he achieves.

My daughter (one-year-old) attends Daisy Fays Tresillian, a fabulous nursery, brilliant staff and what a wonderful place for children to learn and play. The eyLog app is brilliant too, we can see what activity’s our daughter has been doing, what’s she’s eaten, etc. Highly recommend Daisy Fays.

Our daughter has just started nursery at two-and-a-half years old. Until now, we have had a childminder and we wanted our daughter to experience a similar environment to preschool so she will be ready and happy. The staff are kind, caring and so welcoming. Our daughter has only had 3 days there and
it’s as if she has always been there. She has an amazing time and is so happy and settled thanks to the staff. We get regular updates, photos and comments on her daily activities which is lovely to see while at work. Our daughter is developing well, learning but still able to play. The staff are very accommodating of both our daughter and ourselves which is wonderful. As a working mum, I can feel happier at work knowing she is in a safe and fun environment. Would definitely recommend Daisy Fays to my other mum friends.

I cannot rate Daisy Fays highly enough. Both my boys absolutely love coming to the nursery and often run through the door without even saying goodbye to me. The staff are brilliant at encouraging the boys to be true to themselves (within reason!). Each session is jam packed with activities and there
is a real sense of fun and joy when you walk through the door.

We found Daisy Fays Tresillian during the lockdown. Both me and my husband are keyworkers and our old nursery wasn't reopening. What could have been incredibly stressful was made incredibly easy by the team. From the first contact, it felt professional and caring. They made time for us to visit on a
Saturday and then helped with funding and flexible hours. My daughter is thriving since starting here. She loves going, has grown in confidence and always has heaps to tell us when she gets home. The staff have been brilliant at settling her in (with no transition because of lockdown and exceptional circumstances) and she is now more than ready for school. Communication is brilliant. Her time at this nursery has definitely been a highlight in a very strange time.

Making the decision to send our little girl to nursery was hard but the benefits have outweighed any of our concerns. All the staff are friendly, patient and caring. Now that our daughter has settled in, she quite often asks for members of the team at home. She has grown in confidence and learnt a lot
for the small amount of time she attends.
A few of the many highlights are the fresh and nutritious meals and snacks that change frequently, the purpose-built building ensures a safe, bright and well laid out environment that aids learning academic and life skills, the garden that’s available for the children to be children, rain or shine, growing fruit, vegetables and flowers that the children themselves plant, grow and harvest. In fact one of the main reasons we chose this nursery was because the children will be outside rain or shine every day. The app keeps us well informed of what our daughter has been doing and what she’s eaten, nappies and sleep she’s had.
Just excellent all round!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.906)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.906) out of 10 for Daisy Fays Nursery and Tresillian 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.906 for Daisy Fays Nursery and Tresillian Pre School is calculated as follows: ( (281 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 308 Ratings = 4.906

  • 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 and Tresillian Pre School is based on 26 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 26 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 am thoroughly enjoying being the manager here and feel there are lots of opportunities to develop my current knowledge and to be able to give the best for the children within our care! I am also the setting’s SENDCo which is another part of my role I enjoy; I love seeing the children meet their goals and watch them develop at their own pace!

Job Title: Assistant Manager

Joined: 2018

My journey at Daisy Fays Tresillian started just under 5 years ago I began as an apprentice and after completing my level 2 qualification, I became a toddler room leader which is still my current position. The opportunity arose for me to become deputy manager here at Tresillian I was keen to take it on board and thoroughly enjoyed working alongside my manager Lindsay. I recently completed my level 3 qualification as an Early Years Educator which helped me expand my knowledge within the setting.


Throughout my 5 years at Daisy Fays Tresillian I have seen many children grow into kind, caring and independent individuals it has been a great privilege to be part of those steps in their lives.


In my spare time, I enjoy taking my 4 dogs out for walks across the fields where I live and spending time at the beach watching the sunset.
