Sheltered outdoor area allows the nursery professionals to ensure that active play thrives, while there is even a 'magic garden' where children can learn more about growing fruit and vegetables.

Review from Charlotte B (Mother of Child) published on 9 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Daisy Chain Lofthouse is wonderful! All of the staff are polite, welcoming and it is a happy place to be. My daughter is currently in the Pixies room and her key staff are absolutely incredible (Katie and Leah). They are attentive and have taken time to get to know her and form a positive relationship with her meaning she is happy and excited to go to Nursery! Her key workers are also amazing at monitoring, recording and encouraging her progress. Overall, we could not be happier with the nursery and owe the biggest of thanks and appreciation to all staff. The nursery really go above and beyond with parental engagement and wider thoughts as well, including mothers day afternoon tea, gifts for Mum, Easter bonnet competitions and Easter Egg gifts etc. Those touches are really appreciated. We feel confident leaving our daughter with you knowing she is safe and happy in your care. Thank you!

Review from S G (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both of my children attend Daisy Chain, and I can honestly say they absolutely love their nursery days. The range of activities and level of stimulation are fantastic, and I really appreciate that they can spend so much time outdoors.

We've seen such clear development in both of them, which is beautifully captured through the regular photos and updates on the app. It's so reassuring to feel connected to their day.

The staff are all wonderful - polite, caring, and genuinely dedicated. Leah made the transition into nursery life seamless for both our children, they adore her. My older daughter now plays "schools" at home and reenacts how her key worker, Sophie, teaches, which is just amazing to see. It really shows the positive impact the team has on her.

A special thank you to Leah and Sophie, our fantastic key workers, as well as Leigh and the whole team. We're so grateful for everything you do x

Overall Experience
The dedication to support, growth and wellbeing of my children at DaisyChain has been excellent. We are so thankful we chose this nursery and have seen such a significant difference in both children since starting.
It is so reassuring as a parent knowing your children are in great hands and feel so comfortable. They love going and look forward to their nursery days. This is all down to the investment from the incredible team.

They have also gained confidence, social skills and a more varied palette in terms of the food they eat.

Overall Experience

I sent my daughter to this nursery from family recommendations but it has exceeded my expectations. Leaving your child after maternity leave is so scary and my daughter has been welcomed with open arms and the staff have been nothing short of amazing with her. From engaging her in different activities to introducing new foods. She absolutely loves coming to nursery and I know I can trust the staff (which is so important) and they have her best interest at heart.

Overall Experience
I am writing to expresd my appreciation for the care, support, and dedication the nursery provides for Marley. The staff in the Imps Room are truly wonderful, and we are consistently welcomed and seen off in such a warm and friendly manner. It makes a genuine difference to us as parents and gives us great confidence in the care Marley receives.I would particularly like to thank Marley's key worker, Skylar, and Chloe, for their exceptional support. We are especially grateful for the time they have taken to discuss Marley's two-year developmental report with us and for clearly explaining the procedures surrounding referrals to support his development. Their communication has been thoughtful, thorough, and reassuring. Skylar and Chloe have both been outstanding. They have always made time to speak with me, answer questions, check in regularly, and provide reassurance where needed. Their professionalism, kindness, and understanding have meant a great deal to us.

We are truly grateful for all the support the nursery provides. I would also like to extend our thanks to the management team, Leigh and Liz, for their continued support. The care and commitment shown by the entire team does not go unnoticed and is very much appreciated.

We are really happy sending our little girl to Daisy Chains Lofthouse. The staff as always welcoming, friendly and provide regular updates on her development and the activities she does whilst under their care. Her safety and her progression are a clear priority and we have loved seeing her come on leaps and bounds since being in their care.

Amazing experience we've had with the Nursery. The carers love their job, and it shows. Thank you to the nursery team and all of the staff members who make sure the children are well and safe. My daughter loved it there. She only had to leave because we were moving out of town.

Review from Agnieszka W (Mother of Child) published on 4 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I was anxious (like every parent) about my baby starting nursery, but honestly I can't imagine my son not going there nowadays. He loves nursery, all the teachers are like family to him now and it's amazing how much he progressed, it's so lovely seeing him making friends and enjoying his time there. Both me and my husband are really happy with the care he receives, there's great choice of healthy meals, various activities and staff and management is excellent. They really care about children's physical and emotional wellbeing.

Overall Experience
We have been using Daisy Chains for almost a year now and It is the perfect nursery for our son. We were so anxious about our son starting nursery and from the beginning, the staff at Daisy Chains have always made us feel at ease.
Our son's daily care and progression is logged on an app which is really user-friendly. They offer a great menu with a variety of meal choices and always provide activities to involve parents/carers.
Our son has developed and learnt so much since starting at Daisy Chains and that's down to the amazing team.
A special mention to one lady for always helping with any queries/worries no matter what they are. Our son's key worker for always going above and beyond and updating us on our son's progress and next steps. The two ladies for always putting in the extra effort to make our son comfortable. The bond he has created with these three is lovely to see.

We would definitely recommend Daisy Chains!

Overall Experience

My son loves attending Daisy Chain Childcare. He is always greeted with big smiles. We get updated daily and his observations are always thorough and interesting. My son has a good wide variety of meals and is encouraged to be independent when eating (using cutlery etc). There is a wide variety of resources that are both challenging and educational. The staff are attentive and will offer lots of cuddles if needed. Their priority is the children. Thank you.

Excellent nursery, everyone is so helpful and kind. The place is clean and all the kids seem to be happy and enjoying themselves. My little one is loving life at the nursery with her friends and the childminders and she has developed so much within the first two months of attending. I have already recommended it and I couldn't recommend it enough! Thank you for everything you do for our child.

Review from Lauren P (Mother of Child) published on 20 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has been attending Daisy Chain in the baby's room since he was 9 months old and is about to move up rooms.
We couldn’t be happier with the care that he has received from every single staff member. Everyone has been so welcoming and helped to make a very nervous mother feel considerably more comfortable. The manager is always particularly helpful.

They have catered to his special needs including dietary needs fantastically and their wonderful chef has always ensured that my son has never suffered food-wise because of restrictions, including a dairy-free birthday cake which was so appreciated. The facilities are so good, that our extended family who have on occasion picked up our son, have commented on how impressed they were with the nursery! We would like to especially mention 4 ladies who have not only made it fun but have noticeably aided in our son's development, and it is obvious from his reaction to them that he genuinely loves attending.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has attended Daisy Chain Lofthouse for 3 and a half years now since she was 10 months old. The staff are incredible, they really care about the children as individuals. Our daughter has always felt safe and cared for at the nursery and we, as parents, have always felt confident about our choice of childcare. Our daughter has learned so much, the nursery staff have done a fantastic job of making sure she is prepared for Reception when she goes in September, and being with other children in a preschool setting has also helped to develop her social skills. We couldn't have hoped for a better nursery.

Overall Experience

The range of activities my child is involved in is amazing. I love that they get external providers in for things like music and football. I always get a full rundown of the day and the app updates also help with this too. All the nursery ladies are always happy to see my little one; they are kind and caring and help out if she is upset at drop-off.

Review from Samuel C (Father of Child) published on 30 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have had our daughter with Daisy Chain for a few months now, we had specific dietary requirements to avoid added sugar/sweeteners and vegetable oils and these have been met without issue.
Our daughter loves coming to nursery and her key worker and other members of staff in the same room are so positive and it's always lovely to drop her off in such a nice environment and pick her up to hear about the day!

We have always felt confident leaving our daughter and she is always happy when we arrive and jolly when we come to pick up. The staff are all genuinely caring and supportive.

Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending Daisy Chain Lofthouse for over 2 years now and I have never had a bad experience with any of the staff. All staff have been wonderful, really caring and supportive of my daughter. I recommend the nursery to everyone and will continue to do so. My daughter's key worker in Elves is exactly who you want looking after your child. She is very welcoming and friendly. The other workers in the room are also great.

My other daughter has recently started attending the nursery in the Pixies Room and the workers in that room have been amazing at making her feel settled in, they are really great.
