I must be honest I was a bit apprehensive when my granddaughter first started at nursery at 10 months old as you hear so many horror stories but I needn't have worried. Now at 22 months old, she couldn't be happier. The standards at Daisy Chain are excellent, all the staff are excellent and there's
always a welcoming smile when I pick her up, I'm told everything she's done since she's been dropped off, what she's been doing what she's had at meal times and what she's eaten or not eaten. Even though she's a young age they do a lot of educationally based activities which my granddaughter loves. They give the same attention to all the children, I can't praise them enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our child was at Daisy Chain from April 2015 to August 2018. I cannot praise the lovely staff and management here enough for their support and kindness during our time with them. Our child has an allergy, we received excellent and very personal support from management, care staff and the chef. Management
in-house and externally have always been very approachable, courteous, likeable and helpful. The ladies that have looked after our child were fantastic and honestly felt like extended family, we already miss them all. Dropping off and collecting our child was always a pleasant experience and a big part of my day. We did have a few behavioural issues to deal with, common in young boys I suppose. The staff were brilliant at implementing systems which we could replicate at home to help us with this. Also, the learning/education that our child received here has been fantastic and he is very well primed for school now. A massive and heartfelt thank you to everybody at Daisy Chain Rothwell

I could not be happier with the care my daughter receives at Daisy Chain Rothwell. She always has a big smile on her face when we are greeted by her key person in the mornings and is great hearing about all the activities she has enjoyed throughout the day on collection.
The staff are friendly, professional
and really know my daughter's likes, dislikes and have supported her development greatly.

As a first-time mum, I was very anxious about my return to work and my daughter starting nursery at 8mths old, the staff were very well welcoming, friendly yet professional, informative and supportive and could not have done more to put my mind at ease.


I was amazed at how quickly my daughter settled

and has developed a lovely bond with her key person.


I feel I am well informed and I love the photos sent on tapestry so I can see what she enjoys doing, she always appears to be happy and thoroughly enjoying the great activities on offer.


I would highly recommend Daisychain Rothwell, I cannot praise the staff enough for the fantastic job they do.

My daughter has attended Daisy Chain Rothwell since October 2017 at this point she was 10 months old. Being a first time mum, I naturally felt anxious about leaving my daughter for the first time, however, the staff in the Pixie room soon put me at ease. The care that they offer is excellent and I feel
comfortable everyday leaving my daughter with them. It is such a lovely feeling to be able to go to work and know that she is so well cared for. My daughter has developed so well whilst being at nursery, she has grown in confidence and has developed an excellent understanding. I feel that this is due to the staff who have clearly made an effort to get to know her and are able to identify her needs. She has a lovely bond with her key worker and will smile and put her arms straight out to her when I drop off.
The nursery is a lovely environment and always feels warm and homely. I would defiantly recommend Daisy Chain to other parents and can't speak highly enough of them.

Like most parents leaving their children and returning to work, I was so anxious, but all the staff at Daisy Chain have been fantastic!! They have been so responsive to my daughter's needs and the rapport I’ve built with the staff from day one was brilliant.
I have seen a change in her development
already and she has only been going for six weeks. I would most certainly recommend them, all staff are very attentive and it’s very reassuring to me when I leave as I’m confident she’s in the best hands.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As Grandparents, it was extremely important for us that the nursery he went to (four days/week) provided him with love, care, interest, enjoyment, and stimulation. I was nervous that he would be spending four days at nursery at such a young age but I was very quickly surprised/delighted when I could
see how happy he was. Daisy Chain fulfilled that for us and our Grandson. The staff there are amazing and he loved spending time with them. He has learnt so much and developed so many skills, many of which would have been developed at a slower pace had he not attended. Each child is dealt with on an individual basis and the staff clearly put the child first in the activities they undertake and the way they get to know the children. I picked our Grandson up most Fridays and was made very welcome by all of the staff who took time to talk to me about his activity. I cannot thank you all enough for all you have done for him - we will miss you all very much.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter currently attends this nursery as did my son. He enjoyed himself so much and was so well looked after that I had no doubt about placing my daughter here too. My daughter started attending at 6 months old. Whilst it was upsetting to leave her, I knew she was being well looked after - the
staff are friendly, helpful and build a rapport with every child. Through the day I can look online at secure photos uploaded by the nursery of my daughter having fun getting involved in all the different activities provided and when I pick her up, I get a detailed information sheet of what she has been doing, including what food and how much she has eaten, number and length of naps, etc.


The staff have been a great with weaning too, always following my lead. My daughter requires a dairy free diet and nursery have fully supported this (including ordering special products).


My daughter has developed so much since starting at Daisy Chain. I would have no doubts in recommending this nursery.

Our son has attended Daisy Chain Rothwell since just after his 1st Birthday and he absolutely loves it. The staff are fantastic, which is very reassuring to know, he is in good hands while we are at work. The range of activities is very good, and we always get an update of what he has been up to at
the end of the day. We love to see the pictures and updates on the Tapestry app - it's great to see the action shots of him enjoying himself. Our son is shortly about to turn 2, it's now great to see him starting to make friends with the other children in his room.

I have 2 children at Daisy Chain in Rothwell and they both thoroughly love going to nursery. All of the staff genuinely care about every single child and go out of the way to help them to develop. The facilities are great and love that the kids come home shattered and dirty after having so much fun
learning new things.

Myself and my son love Daisy Chain. I feel at ease leaving him in the capable hands of the Daisy Chain team. He gets to do so many creative activities and his nursery teachers write down everything he has done throughout the day including meals, activities and nappy changes. He gets to play outside
which he really enjoys. I love how they are always making things for events in the year. It really is a joy bringing him here so thank you for being fantastic!

My eldest son attended Daisy Chain for 4 and a half years leaving in September 2014, my youngest son has recently started at the nursery.
I am pleased to see that standards have been maintained through these years and encouraged that many of the staff are the same and staff turnover appears to be
low.
The key workers in his room are engaging constantly with the children and encouraging them to try new things. There is lots of activities undertaken through the day which my little boy loves and is developing very quickly through the play activities. His key worker is very hands on and I feel happy leaving him in her care. He has already developed a strong attachment to her in the couple of weeks since he started and I believe this is because she engages with him and he feels safe knowing she is there.

Both of my sons have attended Daisy Chain Rothwell since 2011. My eldest absolutely loved it and grew both in confidence and character with fantastic carers looking after him in and engaging and safe environment. It was a natural choice for my eldest to attend as well, and he also loves going, he has
founded some real bonds with his carers and thrives in a lovely environment. I know when I am at work he is having fun and with his friends and learning and developing well.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Great nursery and the staff looking after my little boy are very warming towards him, especially the times he is unsettled. Gives me peace of mind leaving him at nursery.


He is a very shy boy and his speech is delayed, which as a parent is causing natural anxieties. I would prefer more contact e.g.

parents evening or meeting to discuss what we as parents can do so, we are all working together. Last review was in the pixies room.


Overall, the staff we have had dealings with, are amazing especially one young girl in particular in the Elves room who has taken him under her wing.


The manager has tried to facilitate where possible, in extra nursery days and trying to sort the days for our son's free hours. Thank you, it is really appreciated.


I only wish we could put him in extra days as it certainly does bring him on in leaps and bounds.


I would definitely recommend this nursery to others.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.724)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.724) out of 10 for Daisy Chain Childcare Rothwell is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.924 for Daisy Chain Childcare Rothwell is calculated as follows: ( (133 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.924
  2. 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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Daisy Chain Childcare Rothwell is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.8
    2. 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
