Daisy Chain Nursery Emsworth
from M J (Father of Child) published on 10 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

I have had children at Daisy Chain for the last 4 years. Since being changed from an independent nursery to a large company-owned nursery it does not have a special wonderful feel. The staff are great and do a good job, my child has a good time (I think). Everything now feels very average, the manager

has changed 3 times since its takeover. I hope the nursery finds its feet again soon and gets back the magic it once had.

Feedback for Esther - Oak Tree Nursery
I would like to share my heartfelt thanks to Esther for the exceptional care she provides for my child at Oak Tree Nursery. She has consistently shown such warmth, patience, and dedication, making my child feel safe, valued, and happy every day.
One of the things

I appreciate most is Esther's attention to hygiene and cleanliness. She is very thorough in making sure the children wash their hands regularly, keep tidy after activities, and understand the importance of good personal care. It gives me great confidence to know that Esther maintains such high standards, helping to keep the children healthy and safe.
It is clear that she not only follows hygiene routines carefully but also teaches the children to develop these good habits themselves.
Alongside this, she provides a nurturing and supportive environment where my child feels secure, respected, and encouraged to learn and grow.
Thank you, Esther, for your commitment

Reply from Clare Luff, Nursery Manager at The Oak Tree Nursery & Pre School

Thank you for your lovely review. We are very proud of Esther and what she is achieving with her team.

from Dan F (Father of Child) published on 19 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My less than 1 year old son has been in the care of the Little Acorns team for the last 4 months and I couldn't be happier with the team and the setting.
We've made the tough decision to move him to a more local Nursey as a spot has become available, but strongly considered keeping him at Oak Tree

due to how well he's settled in and developed, despite the longer commute.
We can't thank the team enough and would highly recommend!

Reply from The School, Nursery Manager at The Oak Tree Nursery & Pre School

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review - I hope everything goes well in your new setting.

Review of
Fairlands Day Nursery
from Nicki B (Mother of Child) published on 15 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We really wanted to share our thanks & appreciation to the whole preschool team for taking such amazing care of our son. In particular his key person and the two Forest school leads have played such a huge part in helping our son grow and thrive. His confidence has really grown and seeing him at the

graduation first up with no hesitation was amazing.
The team did a fantastic job turning our sons fear of going to Forest school into being his favorite part! His key person has been such a nurturing support particularly when he started in preschool. They share a lovely bond which I know our son treasures.
I have and will continue to recommend Fairlands to anyone who asks. So a big thank you for making our sons early years such a special experience.
All the best to the whole Fairlands family

Fairlands Day Nursery
from Hannah H (Mother of Child) published on 14 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Fairlands Nursery has offered a childcare placement that is safe, nurturing and educational. My son has thrived having attended since 8 months old. The faculty ensures that the Nursery is well led and that where there are occasions that require specific attention (i.e. unexpected hospital admissions),

pertinent information is cascaded appropriately to ensure supportive provisions are catered for. The staff ensure that all attending children are well-looked after, encouraged and involved - and that this is facilitated in a personable manner. My daughter is due to attend next month - I would not want her to attend anywhere else! Thank you Fairlands!

Fairlands Day Nursery
from C R (Mother of Child) published on 12 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Both of my sons(now aged 3 and 7) began at Fairlands from the age of 9 months. As any new mother leaving their children will understand, I didn't want to be apart from them- Fairlands made the transition so easy and with their regular updates and photos of what they were up to in the day it felt like

I was still with them which was such a comfort. With my youngest just about to start school, I am going to miss the team terribly. Their friendly faces and positive demeanor have been a constant moral boost when in the trenches of new parenthood! They were the first to spot slight challenges my eldest faced doing things that other children didn't have and were key in obtaining the right support for him when he was moving up to school so he didn't have to wait years before he got it. All staff are so kind, approachable and understanding and the attention and care they have shown my children has always assured me they have been in the most safest of hands. Top quality daycare!

The nursery has such a warm feel with staff really making each child feel special. The home from home atmosphere is everything we are looking for and the outdoor space is incredible.
The last few months have been a transition period for the nursery but wow improvements can already be seen with new

Review of
The Oak Tree Nursery & Pre School
from P H (Mother of Child) published on 7 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

The Oak Tree Nursery School has cared for our daughter since she was one, and we've been fairly pleased with the experience. The staff are friendly, professional, and always take time to speak with parents. The on-site chef is especially approachable and informative, and the freshly prepared meals are

a big plus. When the menu changed from a 10-week to a 3-week rotation, we were unsure at first-but it's led to our daughter enjoying more familiar meals she might have at home, on day trips, or in school lunchboxes. Although the nursery is busy and occasionally feels a bit hectic, the staff remain calm and supportive. Yes, the fees are on the higher side, but we truly see it as an investment in our child's future. The care and early development she's receiving here are giving her the best foundation for school and beyond.

Reply from Clare, Nursery Manager at The Oak Tree Nursery & Pre School

Thank you for your detailed review. I will be certain to pass on your comments to our chef - he will be pleased!

Have had my baby with Oaktree since he was 5 months old and they have been so amazing at making me feel at ease with leaving him and going to work.

So helpful with weaning and just making all transitions so easy for us all. Would highly recommend

Used to be an amazing nursery until Bright Stars bought it out. The warm friendly family feel has been lost along with the unique values and qualities they promised to strive to maintain. Changes from Bright stars have made the nursery feel like each child is a statistic to make money.

Daisy Chain Nursery Emsworth
from T D (Mother of Child) published on 19 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter is at Daisy Chain but my 6 year old son also attended before he started school. Previously, Daisy Chain was a wonderful setting with caring, lovely staff. The quality of care was amazing, there was a waiting list to get in. Last year the setting was sold to a large nursery group and most

of the staff left with it. I wanted to give it a year to see how things would settle. I'm sad to say that Daisy Chain is a shadow of it's former self. What prompted me to write a review was the constant cost cutting that has been going on over the past couple of months. Fees have gone up and policies like being able to swap a bank holiday or swap a day within the week are now completely gone. They have also worked hard to cut down the food provision during the day, parents did protest this and it is still cut but not as much as they wanted. We have also heard anecdotally that the food quality has gone down too. We are so disappointed that this is how our once loved nursery setting has gone.

We have had an outstanding experience using Oak Tree. Our boys adore going there and the staff are so warm and welcoming. We are delighted with all of the different activities the children are immersed in, and the all-rounder skills they are learning. It is going to be great preparation for them

when they start at primary school! We highly recommend Oak Tree!

Great hands on management and overview .
Some amazing staff who give super care and love to the kids. This balances out the odd one or two less experienced members.
Great food prepared on site .
Good open and safe outdoor spaces with long periods of outdoor activities.

All this makes Oaktree

in Bere Hill superior to most other nurseries.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending oak tree since he was around 18 months old , he's now 4 and going to school this year and honestly if I could keep him at oak tree for longer I would! I can't thank the staff and management enough for the extra support that has been put in place for my child, he has extra care

needs due to being autistic and they have consistently gone above and beyond to help him thrive. His keyworker have always been amazing and his current keyworker , who he has been with since joining the pre school is phenomenal. I have nothing but great words to say about her , she is so important and special to my son and they are so bonded. The outside facilities are amazing, especially Forest school. All the staff know the children by name , we are always welcomed by happy faces and smiles. My son runs in every morning full of smiles and energy. The chef is amazing to , my son eats such a range of healthy delicious meals and always comes home with a full tummy!xx

The Oak Treehave made our son's first few weeks at nursery such a positive experience. It has been so reassuring to see how much care and attention has been given to help him settle in, and we are really grateful for the warm and welcoming environment they've created.

A special thank you to two staff

members in particular, who have clearly taken the time to get to know our son and make sure he feels safe and happy. It means so much to us to know he's in such kind and capable hands.

Overall Experience

I have had both my children attend the Oak Tree nursery since 2021. My eldest began in preschool when we moved to the area and absolutely loved it here. My youngest started at 10months and currently still there. Both of my children built safe and positive relationships with staff that took care of them.

They were happy at drop off and pick up and the staff were great at letting us know what they had been up to and specifically what they have enjoys. Hand overs are thorough at the end of the day and staff take the time to talk you through your child's day in detail. I appreciate that staff are been honest about any challenges your child is facing and do not shy away from having difficult conversations. They are supportive and provide a good level of care for the children that attend the nursery. I would recommend the nursery to prospective parents.

from V L (Mother of Child) published on 17 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Great care for my child, lovely friendly and supportive staff. My child seems to be very happy, eagerly goes to the nursery and very well looked after. The downside is that daily activities are not tracked on the app, we cannot see naps, nappy changes/toilet visits, food intake in a single place which

we could have accessed any time for review and analysis particularly as we have issues with eating at home, child seems to like very limited choice of food. It is extremely inconvenient to be queueing up daily to obtain that valuable information and in most cases we just get the child and walk away, we are also not able to come early to do an early handover as we are working until 6pm. Some investment into the app would be very beneficial for all parents, particularly for those who are separated and have to rely on another parent passing daily activities info over. Lastly, no flexibility in having very rare short term rearrangements of attended days even with an advanced notice.
