My son has been at daisy chain since he was 9 months old and has recently moved into his third room (now 2.5 years old!). The change was tough for him as he has been through a lot at home as well with the birth of his baby sister.
The staff at Daisy Chain have gone above and beyond to help us a family
and make sure he is happy and cared for while he is with them.
They are flexible, empathetic and supportive through all our transitions and my son bounces down the road to see them all in the morning and get stuck in playing with his friends.
He is a confident and happy boy - and the team at Daisy chain have been a huge part of that.
Thank you!

Our little boy enjoys nursery, he has a lovely relationship with his key worker and goes into nursery on a morning happy. He's built strong friendships and enjoys all the activities the nursery offer which are different most days. The 4/5 rating is down to meal choices, some of the meals could be more
nutritious.

Cannot praise this nursery enough. The staff are so friendly and take such good care of the kids. My son has type 1 diabetes and they have gone above and beyond to make sure the staff are all trained to care for him. Honestly I think they manage it better than we do!


My son has loved his time there.

We've been so so happy sending our daughter to Daisy Chain. She wasn't the easiest child to take I'm sure, as she started as a slightly clingy 9 months old who couldn't crawl, was still breastfed, had hayfever and who wore cloth nappies, and the staff have dealt with all of this is such a kind and supportive
way. The staff are all so friendly and are always coming up with such fun activities for the kids to do. They're absolutely on it with their communication and as a ln anxious first time mum I genuinely couldn't be happier. Our daughter has absolutely flourished at Daisy Chain and we would so strongly recommend them to anyone.

We love Daisy Chain Childcare Adel. Three members of staff in particular take such good care of our son and he loves going. They do different activities every day, he's never bored and they tire him out ready for a good night's sleep.
Very happy with Daisy Chain.

Nice and caring staff. Overall happy with the service.
Need more activities inside the room in winter instead of outside.
Staffs are good and engage with the kids and encourage them to join activities which is really good for early age children to develop social skills.

Both of my children attended Daisy Chain in Adel and loved it. All the staff are kind, friendly and have loads of ideas for activities. The front garden is a great play space and also the back. The baby section is well equipped as well. Generally happy kids on pick up which is what you want!

The staff at Daisy Chain are brilliant. I am so sad my son is leaving for school in a few weeks. We will miss everyone so much, I do not have a bad word to say about this place! Everything over the past 3 years has been exceptional and I would recommend the nursery to anyone. Thanks to all!

We have been absolutely thrilled with our choice of selecting Daisy Chain Adel as our Nursery for our son. The team there go above and beyond to ensure that he is cared for, but also that we are kept in the loop with regard to his progress and development. The team also go to the trouble of hosting
extra-curricular events (usually in the aid of raising money for charities) that are always well organised and executed. We could not speak highly enough of the staff and facilities at the Nursery.

We have been so pleased with our choice of going to Daisy Chain Adel. The staff in the room are beyond amazing with nothing but the best interests of our son in mind. We get really helpful updates (in person and electronically) and there is clear thought about the development.
It is a friendly place

Our son started at Daisy Chain in autumn and the Pixies team made the transition to nursery so smooth both for him and for us, they kept us updated and worked with us to make sure he settled into nursery life quickly and easily. He loved the staff and his key worker, and it was great to see how comfortable
he was there. Now he has moved to Imps and we couldn’t be happier with the experience he is getting, the team are absolutely magnificent - they truly care for our son and we love the detailed updates and stories we get about his day. The activities are so creative and varied, and it’s great that the children can spend lots of time outside now the weather is improving. Overall our son absolutely loves his time at nursery and he has developed so much since he started thanks to the fabulous input from the team - we can’t thank the staff enough for all their hard work and enthusiasm, they are exceptional and we truly appreciate everything they do.

My son loves this nursery as do myself and my partner. He always comes home happy and tells us all about his day. The days seem to be full of activities and my son has learnt so much from coming here. Everything from home such as potty training etc, has always been supported and never rushed. I would
definitely recommend this nursery and the staff are lovely.

We have had a wonderful experience this year with our daughter starting in pixies room with her key worker at 14 months. The settling in process was great, the key worker took cues from her and kept us as parents well informed. They’ve done some lovely activities throughout the year and we’ve been kept
up to date on the app where they share photos and observations regularly. The pixies team were so knowledgeable and confident and I’m sure this made our daughter feel secure, but also, as the nursery is small I notice that my daughter is familiar with a number of the staff which (I hope!) will make moving to new rooms smoother.

My son has been at Daisy Chain Childcare Adel since aged 6 months and we cannot thank all the staff enough for the work they have done for helping our little boy grow into the confident, chatty, happy and playful little toddler he is. Sending him there so young was very hard but they have been really
great with us and watching how he has changed from baby to toddler has been amazing and the staff have played a massive part in that. He has just moved from the imps room to the sprites room so his journey will continue for a couple more years and if I am ever asked to recommend a nursery I would say Daisy Chain Childcare Adel every time.

Our little boy has been at Daisy Chain Adel since he was 11 months and all staff have helped both him and us negotiate some particularly tricky separation anxiety over that time. The children are well looked after and do interesting activities most of the time. They are also outside as much as the weather
allows which is great. Admittedly there has been a high turnover of staff over the past year but I believe this is largely due to this being a poorly paid profession in general and with the rising cost of living staff have needed to turn elsewhere to earn enough, it is not a reflection on the nursery. We love Daisy Chain and our son has really flourished under their care.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.725)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.725) out of 10 for Daisy Chain Childcare Adel is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.725 for Daisy Chain Childcare Adel is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 189 Ratings = 4.725
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Daisy Chain Childcare Adel is based on 16 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8, which has been reached with 16 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.
