Reply from Jamie Caruana, Owner at Daisy Fays St Ives
At Daisy Fays, we welcome feedback from parents. However, your review appears to be contradictory. You stated that we do not provide spare nappies, wipes, and bedding. According to the terms of care you agreed to, these items are to be supplied by parents. We do maintain an emergency reserve for unforeseen circumstances, not for regular use. Regarding your comment about us being financially driven, I believe charging 1 for your child's subsidised lunch and snacks hardly constitutes such behaviour. We appreciate the positive remarks you made about your child's key worker. However, it is puzzling why you downgraded us on Staff, Care, Safeguarding, Learning and Activities categories while commending your key worker. Concerning cleanliness, which we prioritise highly, our facilities are cleaned daily. It's uncertain how you concluded otherwise, given that parents have limited access to our nursery. Rest assured, I will reassure our team for maintaining their dedication and excellent care.

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.852) out of 10 for Daisy Fays St Ives 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 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.852 for Daisy Fays St Ives is calculated as follows: ( (236 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 263 Ratings = 4.852
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 St Ives is based on 21 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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4, which has been reached with 21 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.

Job Title: Manager
Joined: 2022
I’m Julia and I have been the Manager at Daisy fays St Ives since June 2022. I have worked in childcare for 26 years, 18 of those years has been at this nursery in St Ives. I was Baby room lead for most of those years, then deputy manager for the last 2 years. I am very passionate about my job, and love to create new areas for the children. I am always striving to make the nursery an exciting place for the children to be.
I have 3 grown up children of my own, Luke, Sam and Emily, who all still live at home, so home life is quite busy. In my spare time I enjoy going out for coffee, gardening and we love to explore and travel to new places on holidays.
Job Title: Assistant Manager and Preschool teacher
Joined: 2022
I am a qualified teacher and I have worked in education for over twenty years. I have lived and worked in St Ives all my life, I have two very grown up children and a borderline obsessive addiction to crocheting.
I began my journey working as a teaching assistant in an early years reception class at our local Infant school where I quickly discovered my passion for early years education and Special educational needs. I studied for my degree whilst working and gained my QTS whilst teaching a Reception class before moving to teach Year one. However, Early Years has always been where my passion lies and when opportunity arose to work for Daisy Fays I jumped at it.
I am a firm believer in a child centred, holistic approach to education, provision and the environment we provide for all our children. I enjoy providing opportunities for our children to develop and grow through a healthy balance of independent and adult led activities and investigations. I am at my happiest when observing our children fully engaged in their learning and play.
Providing enabling, inclusive environments for learning and exploring has always been one of my passions. I enjoy creating spaces that allow our children autonomy and ownership whilst promoting respect for resources, each other and the world around them.
I endeavour to always view the world through the eyes of the children I learn with.
