Both my son and daughter have attended Daisy Fays since nine months old. They both loved going. All the staff are so caring and really look after the children. My son has some food intolerance and Daisy Fays were so accommodating.

I have had a child in this nursery setting for the last 12 years.There were lots of changes when Daisy Fays took over. Some good, some that took some getting use to. One thing that didn't change was the staff. The care they give us is outstanding and makes the days you have to leave your child so much
easier. I want to say a huge thank you to all the staff who have had an input into my children growth and helping them to be ready to take the next steps into going to school. My children look forward to going to nursery and really love spending so much time outside in the garden and forest areas.

Reply from Rachel Wilton, Manager at Daisy Fays Nursery Truro

Thank you for your review, we are so glad that your little ones enjoyed their time at Daisy Fays, especially time spent in our amazing outdoor area.

Our little one enrolled at 9 months, now 4! Always excited to go, and more importantly, never dreaded leaving there! The nursery is a gorgeous building, with lovely grounds, and money is well spent on refurbishment throughout. The staff are the making of Daisy Fays Truro. From the baby room through
pre-school/forest school. We have experienced every room and they are all compassionate and take an interest in the child's personality/traits. We just can't fault them, even if we wanted to! Another plus: fresh, home-cooked food. This has helped our little ones try new things and embrace choices/changes. The car park is a nightmare to navigate at peak collection drop/off time, take care. Lastly, despite the 15/30hrs free funding/tax-free, we still pay a ludicrous amount for the 'supplementary items'- Guess it's a business after all. Despite the cost, this I would highly recommend, if you can afford it! We struggled but would again! Thank you Daisy Fays Truro for nurturing our little one so generously for three years. Please look after your staff, they are wonderful!

Reply from Rachel Wilton, Manager at Daisy Fays Nursery Truro

Thank you for your review. Our staff love being alongside the children as they develop, grow and learn. Our on-site chef is a real asset to us here at Daisy Fays and we thoroughly enjoy helping the children to learn about new food choices and enjoy the routine of sitting with others to eat our home-cooked meals.

Both our children have loved attending Daisy Fays Truro, including the fantastic Forest school there. I have been so impressed with the development of our children and the brilliant activities/themed weeks they do with them. The staff are amazing and I always know my children are in the best of care.
We receive regular updates and lots of wonderful photos. I wouldn't send my children anywhere else - highly recommend it!

My eldest has been at Daisy Fays Truro for over a year now and has come on leaps and bounds. My son has always been reluctant to go in in the mornings but the staff are always gentle and encouraging with him and he does go in without a fuss and always settles in very quickly once he's in. The building
and outdoor spaces are excellent and you can tell a lot of thought has gone into providing such lovely spaces and equipment for all the children to enjoy. The food is excellent too and I know he enjoys it having been told he often has had seconds of lunch which rarely happens at home! I love receiving photos and updates through the app as you get to see what your littles are up to, and I always appreciate the handover at pick-up time about what they've got up to on that day. My youngest is just about to start here and although I'm sad to have to leave him, I know he's in good hands and after a lovely settling-in session I'm reassured that he's going to enjoy his time here too.

Reply from Rachel Wilton, Manager at Daisy Fays Nursery Truro

Thank you for your kind words. We understand that coming to nursery can be a big step for children, but with nurture from us and support from you, we will continue to make the nursery a place where your little one can learn and grow. we love watching him develop new skills and grow in confidence, and We look forward to welcoming your new little one as he also starts his learning journey alongside us here at Daisy Fays Truro. We are so lucky to have our own chef here, and we agree with you, the food is always excellent.

Forest School is the new edition to my boy's adventures at the Daisy Fay's. He was a little hesitant about new teachers and routine for a day or two, now he loves every minute with three staff members in particular. They made him feel welcome; their enthusiasm for learning about our planet helped him
be more curious and respectful of the environment.
I am looking forward to new happy moments at preschool in September. I know my boy is in good and caring hands. Daisy Fay's teachers are the best. The attention to each child's individuality is respected and their independence is encouraged. I feel assured that my boy is supported throughout his little achievements despite many frustrations he may encounter; I enjoy every little message, comment and picture, in his online journal, of activities that he participates in the nursery.

Reply from Rachel Wilton, Manager at Daisy Fays Nursery Truro

Thank you for your kind words. Our Forest School is a real asset to us here at Daisy Fays in Truro and we will continue to help encourage a wider knowledge of sustainability, the environment and helping to look after our planet. We are so glad that your little one enjoys his time in our Forest school and that he is sharing his learning with you at home, and being more curious about his environment. We are looking forward to continuing his learning journey with him as he joins our Preschool session in September. Our teachers here take time to get to know every child and we have thoroughly enjoyed being alongside him, supporting him, and encouraging him in his Early Years.

My daughter has been with Daisy Fays since the baby room and is now leaving pre-school and forest school. The staff are lovely and you tell they care for the children at Truro Daisy Fays. The food is excellent my daughter normally has seconds! My son has also just left the baby room and is now in the
toddler group. Each stage they do lots of different learning through play/new weekly topics and have the best time. I would recommend forest school, they learn things they may never have had the chance of doing and my children love the outside.

My daughter started in January just before her 3rd birthday and has enjoyed every minute. The mess she comes home in, covered in paint and mud shows me the amazing and happy time she has had. I would be concerned if she came home as clean as she went. She enjoys making friends and playing in the mud
kitchen outside. The staff are always friendly and I am regularly updated with what she has done via the app. The menu is brilliant. The forest school is also a great asset to the nursery. I have even enrolled my other daughter aged 2 to start in September to help with making friends and the social aspect that she would not normally get.

My 4-year-old has been at Daisy Fays since he was 18 months and has loved every minute. There have been many changes but the care and support has remained constantly amazing! He joined the Forest school when he turned 3 and has become his favourite days as he loves being outdoors. He comes home smelling
of fire pit and covered in mud with the biggest smile on his face! The preschool is equally great and although they spend more time inside they still get out and about. This is his last year and I know we are both going to miss our experience with Daisys. Can’t thank the team enough for the continuous hard work and dedication they have put into making a fun and engaging environment for my little one!

My son started Daisy Fays in Truro in September and we honestly couldn’t be happier. It’s very daunting leaving your child at a nursery, especially as ours was only 11 months, but he has been so happy since day one. The team are kind, caring and genuinely appear to love their jobs. The communication
is fantastic and the on-site chef is a great bonus.

Both of my children have gone to this nursery and the forest school and have loved it! The staff have been amazing and always offered a brilliant level of care. At first I was concerned about the in-house chef as my daughter is lactose intolerant, but the chefs made special meals for her and catered
to our needs. The food the children eat is second to none and often meant they were eating vegetables and recipes that they wouldn’t dream to eat at home. My son has always been very active and we found the mix of forest school and preschool gave him a perfect learning balance. I highly recommend this nursery.

Welcoming lovely staff that have always put the safety and security of our children first. They have always listened to individual needs of our children and helped them develop in such positive ways. The boys have loved every day they spend at this nursery and I have always been happy leaving them in
their care.
I do understand in our current economic climate the need for increases in fees however it has become an exceedingly expensive childcare setting especially comparative to other nurseries and settings. It will be an extremely difficult six months for us to have two children here until the new funding comes in next April. We are still looking at alternatives sadly though it goes against my heart's desire.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.905)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.905) out of 10 for Daisy Fays Nursery Truro 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.905 for Daisy Fays Nursery Truro is calculated as follows: ( (242 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 263 Ratings = 4.905

  • 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 Truro is based on 22 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 61 number of registered child places is 12.2, which has been reached with 22 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.
