Daisy Chain Childcare Lofthouse is purpose-built and was opened by the group on 2008. Gardens for outdoor play, a sensory room and a community room are some of the additions that the innovative design included to make the most of all children's early years learning potential.

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.

Overall Experience

My daughter went here to help improve her speech and I was very impressed with the help and support provided. My son now attends and the staff are second to none. I recommend this nursery. The children always come first and there is always a lovely atmosphere.

Overall Experience

I am very happy with the nursery. My boy has settled in really well and very happy with staff all friendly and welcoming with a smile on their face to greet you and your child. When my boy first started I was scared of how he would be but staff have made it very easy and trusting for us both. He has settled in so well. Would not think to take him anywhere else. Love the nursery.

Review from Priya V (Mother of Child) published on 14 September 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been going to Daisy Chain Lofthouse for nearly a year and a half now - she started at 7 months of age - and I cannot overstate how happy we are with their service. The staff here are lovely and friendly, and take very good care of our toddler. With the experience of having sent our daughter to another nursery for a few days in the beginning, we can say for sure that Daisy Chain Lofthouse's staff set the nursery apart. We get the feeling that everyone here genuinely loves being around children and caring for them - as against this just being a job for them (which is what it felt like at the other nursery).
Both the key workers my daughter has had till now (in the two rooms she has been in) have been wonderful. Their attention to detail is impressive, which has been a major factor of comfort for us, especially as our daughter has some medical needs that often require regular care. Nothing's too difficult for the girls at Daisy Chain Lofthouse, and they do it all with a smile, which makes me less guilty/embarrassed when I have to make frequent requests for special care.
Also, it gladdens us that our little one's keyworker pays attention to her likes and passions, and routinely gets her to do activities she enjoys. And there are days when our daughter would refuse to get back home as she's having too much fun at the nursery!!
Another aspect that we love here is the daily online update which has become even better now with a new system in place. It's great to see pics/videos and exchange comments with the keyworker easily. In addition, the staff are always happy to give you updates over the phone. There have been times when I have been trigger-happy in dialing them up half a dozen times within a day, and they responded with care and empathy each and every time.

In summary, we find it a great place for our little one to spend her formative years. Highly recommended!

Review from Sarah W (Mother of Child) published on 10 September 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Absolutely wonderful nursery with fantastic staff who really go out of their way to get to know the children. Activities are built around the interests of the individual children and staff go out of their way to help children settle as they move through the nursery. My daughter loves going to this nursery and has had a great relationship with all her key workers and is always ready to tell me what fun things she has been doing throughout the day, I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience

My son is about to start school following 2years at Daisy Chain. I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough, they have been brilliant, so warm and welcoming. They do a good mixture of play and learning activities, some lead by current children's interest. They have always been approachable and supportive to both my son and us as parents! We are all really sad not be go going any more!

Review from Pamela S (Mother of Child) published on 7 September 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. Our little boy has his last day today before going to school and we'll all be very sad he's leaving. He has been so well looked after, has learnt so much from his 2 years here and has become a very confident little boy. The girls here make lots of time for both one to one time and time spent in groups and seeing his progress each week has been fantastic. I think we have the only child who doesn't want to come home on a night because he's enjoying himself so much. The Manager and her team are fantastic both with communication and keeping our children safe in this fantastic environment, both indoors and out. They also have a dedicated chef who cooks all meals from scratch each day with fresh ingredients and we're always amazed by what our little boy eats. I can't recommend enough.

Review from Heather F (Mother of Child) published on 25 August 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I had never used a private nursery prior to sending my youngest child here at 1 year old. My other two children went to a childminders.
I looked at several nurseries for my son, some of which I was not comfortable with but felt immediately at ease when I walked into this nursery. All the children looked happy and content, all the staff were friendly and helpful. I liked all the individual rooms and all the equipment on offer to the children.
My son has now been going for 2 years and has come on leaps and bounds so much so I have just managed to secure an extra day for him even if this means I no longer have my day with him!
The activities that are done with children are fun and educational and all the staff are lovely. They also involve the parents in lots of activities like sports days, Mother's Day Afternoon Tea etc which are all great fun and the children seem to enjoy it when the mums and dads go in.
Initially I was worried my son would not receive enough 1-1 attention with it being a nursery environment but I have been proved wrong!

If I had another child (unlikely) or knew someone wanting an excellent nursery I wouldn't hesitate to recommend

Overall Experience

Everyone is extremely friendly and willing to help. They go the extra mile with all the children, especially when the children are overcoming a development milestone, they offer encouragement and support. My son absolutely loves going to pixies everyday and is a different person for doing so, he is so sociable with others and always shares toys and food, this all a credit to the girls at Daisy Chain!

Review from Katie C (Mother of Child) published on 13 August 2015 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I have been very impressed with my daughter's care whilst at this nursery. The only reason I am moving my child is because I needed an additional day and they didn't have availability due to being so popular! The staff are very friendly and professional and made a great effort to get to know me and my daughter personally. Particularly when my daughter was struggling to adjust to being at nursery the staff went the extra mile to help her settle in well and she soon loved it. The nursery has great facilities and is very clean.

Review from Srimanthi M (Mother of Child) published on 7 August 2015 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I thought I will let you know how happy we feel about your staff member as our key worker for our daughter. The minute she walks into the room she picks her up and gives her a cuddle. Our daughters face glows with happiness whenever she sees her. Our key worker gives attention to detail to every single little thing we say to her. I have seen her running around and playing with our daughter many times, just like a kid and I think our daughter is very comfortable and happy around her. Every time I drop her off with her key worker, I feel she is in safe hands. We are very glad to have her as the key person for our little precious one.
