Review from Ellie T (Mother of Child) published on 29 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child started back in March 2023 at Daisy Chain, she was very shy & nervous around new adults & babies which worried me, to begin with, fast forward to September 2023 & she is a completely different baby, so outgoing, and loves being around new people & her speech has come on brilliantly.
A massive thank you to my child's key worker in the Pixie Room, seeing how much she absolutely loved being with her has always made me feel so at ease. We were always updated with pictures & videos of her day which is always lovely to look back on.

A big thank you to a member of staff my child's new key worker in the Imps Room, within a week she seemed so settled & happy with her new little team. All team members are so lovely & do a fantastic job with all the children.

Overall Experience
My daughter loves coming to this nursery! And this is because they are amazing. She has so much fun and is very well cared for by the team. In particular three members of staff.
They are always there to greet me when I drop her off or pick her up. With a detailed handover for the day!
I trust them completely with my little girl and this is hard for me as I had to change nurseries as her previous one wasn't caring for her as they should.
The manager/another member of staff came to the rescue and managed to get me some days - I will be forever grateful to them and their wonderful team.
They offer so many different activities and the meals are always changing which is exactly what you would like from your nursery - as well as the family days which are such fun!

This nursery is absolutely the best around.

Overall Experience

Children go through many emotional and behavioural rollercoasters. My child was struggling, but her primary carer was amazing. She was supportive and loving. Two other members of staff in particular also go out of their way to make my child feel safe and happy. I knew my child was being mentored through her developmental challenges which gave me such peace of mind. I was also given tips and support for home. My child is so happy with her family at Daisy Chain, sometimes she prefers it to home!

Review from Emma E (Mother of Child) published on 14 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We were really pleased with the quality of care and learning experience our child had throughout her time at Daisy Chain. She joined during the pandemic in 2020 and quickly settled in as a result of the kind and professional approach of her key workers when she was twelve months old.
She subsequently progressed through the different rooms and we were constantly updated through the app on her learning and development journey, as well as her social activities and interactions with other children (many of who are now close friends).

Her transition into the final room has seen her grow in confidence and she has seamlessly transitioned into school, which we know is a result of the dedication of her key worker, who has worked hard to prepare her for the next stage. She has been a fabulous key worker for our child, who has always been excited to go to nursery and always keen to share her achievements with her. Our child has also been supported by other staff members who have all been excellent.

Overall Experience

My 4 year old daughter has attended Daisy Chain in Lofthouse for the past three years and has just left to start school. The setting is very clean, well-maintained and has brilliant facilities inside and out. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and my daughter loved her key workers in the Imps and Elves rooms who showed so much care, patience and encouragement, both with her personal and academic development. She couldn't have been in better hands and has absolutely loved her time there. I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for an outstanding nursery.

Overall Experience

We’ve had two children go through all rooms at Daisy Chain Childcare in Lofthouse. The preschool team are incredibly child-focused, knowledgeable, genuinely caring and a pleasure to chat to at the end of the day. We will all really miss the staff. A big mention has to go to his key person, I don’t think any other person could be more on my son’s wavelength! Across the whole nursery, there have been some stand out staff we’ve come across since 2018; one from the baby room, one from toddler room (currently on maternity leave) and his key worker particularly. But also the strengths and leadership shine through from the staff within the foundation/preschool room too. This can be seen through where our son is at academically, as well as emotionally too, as his needs have clearly been met for him to be learning so well and settled. It’s officially the end of an era for us with our youngest starting school. Thanks for being part of their journey.

Review from Jamie K (Mother of Child) published on 30 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My twin boys have been attending Daisy Chain Nursery in Lofthouse since they were 9 months old (they're now almost five and about to leave for school).
The staff are so helpful and friendly and my boys love attending this setting. Activities are fun and creative, with lots of opportunities for fresh air outside for letting off big bursts of energy.
Children are also supported academically in a fun non-pushy way and their interests are often considered when planning further activities.

The setting is clean and very well maintained with excellent facilities. It's an excellent nursery and we'll miss going there. We'll definitely miss the ladies Heather, as they have been so lovely throughout.

Review from Jade G (Mother of Child) published on 29 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My 4-year-old daughter is just about to leave Daisy Chain after 4 years when she first attended when she was 6 months. The care, attention, love and commitment she has received has been nothing short of exceptional. She has thrived at Daisy Chain, she has made friends, gained her independence, been to parties and enjoyed her time. Due to such a positive experience, we enrolled our youngest daughter who is 1 and has been attending since she was 9 months old. It has been a joy to see her so enthusiastic to go to her key workers, that reassures me she is safe and having the best time.
The staff members in particular who have made my girl's experience so great is the lady in the Pixie room. She took care of both my daughters and they adore her. The lady in the Imps room has such a special bond with my youngest, she loves to see her. The lady in the Elves room has a fantastic relationship with my eldest daughter.

I cannot thank them enough for their kindness, patience and care they have given my children.

Overall Experience
My son has attended this nursery for almost 4 years and has loved every moment! When first starting he wasn’t talking much but that soon changed!
He has thrived in this setting and experimented with all kinds of foods and activities and has been encouraged to be himself throughout!
A special mention to his key worker who has been absolutely outstanding and embraced his utter craziness!

I cannot recommend this nursery enough!

Since starting at Daisy Chain Childcare Lofthouse, my child has developed extremely well due to the attentive and nurturing care he receives. Each member of staff has been friendly and welcoming, which makes leaving my child that much easier.

Highly recommended.

Overall Experience
Overall, we love Daisy Chain Childcare Lofthouse and our son seems to too.
The staff are lovely and really friendly.

One thing that would be great is more detail for each day and more regular updates on the online journal. We see food and nappies but it would be so good to know more about the activities completed each day and how our son is coming on with his development, what is the next stage etc.

Overall Experience

We have been so impressed with the level of love and care shown to our daughter at Daisy Chain Childcare Lofthouse and highly recommend the nursery. She started part-time in the baby room at 6 months old and is now 17 months and attending 5 days per week in the toddler room. Each day she comes home with a new skill or word and her confidence has grown massively. The staff arrange a wide variety of themed activities to encourage learning through play. We have also been really happy with the food served, it's healthy and very varied which was really beneficial on her weaning journey.

Overall Experience

This nursery has been fantastic in helping my child’s development. He was delayed in his development, he had only been there about a month when I could see massive fantastic changes in his development. He has been there for over a year and he loves it. Great staff. I just hope my new area has a great nursery like this.

I am delighted with the standard of care my son has received while at Daisy Chain Childcare Lofthouse. He has specific dietary requirements that have been met with a varied menu and the staff in his room have taken the time to get to know him. His social skills have really developed in the time he has been there and his key worker has been brilliant.

Review from S A (Mother of Child) published on 24 February 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son started Lofthouse nursery at the start of January and since then he is thriving. In less than two months he has really come into himself. He is always happy when we drop him off and pick him up. The staff are really friendly and when I pick my son up they will always spend time to give me an update on his day. The online journal is updated everyday so I can see what he has eaten, drank and when he has been changed and put down to have a sleep. Occasionally it is also updated with photos which are lovely to see what he has been up to during the day. My son was poorly when he first started nursery and the staff were very supportive.

Overall Experience
My daughter has been going to Daisy Chain since she was six months old and she is now two-and-a-half years old!
I cant praise and recommend this nursery enough to other people.
The staff are fantastic. Nothing you ask is too much for them to do to help your child. They will facilitate you whenever possible and will take any of your concerns for your child on board and help with them.
My daughter has been in two of the rooms and about to move into the preschool room and each room she has been in has been amazing. I don't think she would be as advanced in her learning and social skills without going here and all this is thanks to the team that work here.
We love the relationship and bonds that have been built with our little girl and we have no issue when it comes to her attending nursery, in fact, she runs away into the building without looking back.

We have just enrolled our new baby to start when they are six months old as we have no doubt that this is the place we want them to explore!
