We were regular attenders of Daisy Daycare until September 22, when our children left due to school catchments. Having now experienced other childcare, we can categorically commend Daisy on their very well managed and run nursery. The organisation and responsiveness of Daisy is impressive and has very
clear and fair pricing. Our children have returned for Camp Coconuts during the summer holidays and they were treated like royalty. We are very pleased that Daisy has been there for us as a family over the years.

Our eldest has been going to Daisy Day since she was 11 months and now our youngest goes too.
The facilities are great, but it's the staff that make it - the majority go out of their way to help you and your children and that is worth the world as busy parents trying to juggle life's demands.
My only
issue would be with the cost, but fully appreciate that is an issue across the board within a seriously underfunded industry.
I would wholeheartedly recommend, and have recommended, Daisy Day to others.

My son has been at Daisy Day Nursery since 2020 and he loves it. He has food allergies and I have always been confident that the team know what to do if he does have a reaction. It also makes me happy that even though some of the food needs tweaking for him, it never sounds like he's missing out as
the meals sound great. But most of all, the care and attention from the team have really struck me, he genuinely seems excited to go in in the mornings.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic staff, care, facilities, etc.
My only complaint would be that when your child is on antibiotics they can’t go to nursery for the first 48 hours. I’m
not sure what research this is based on. Most children have an allergic reaction to a drug within the first hour since taking it. My mum is
a specialist allergy nurse and I just don’t understand the reason for this policy. And having asked staff they don’t understand the reasoning either. My child has been on the same antibiotic eye drops two or three times and has had to miss nursery because of this ridiculous policy! It causes huge stress to parents who have no other childcare. We’re also paying for those days our child is not looked after by the nursery. This policy needs to be looked at asap.

Thank you so much for your kind words. Our policy on the administration of prescribed medication has been recently reviewed and parents will be informed of changes shortly. We always welcome…read more

Absolutely fantastic staff in Daisy Day Nursery - Llanishen! Daffodils staff in particular have been fantastic with my child and his fussy eating habits!
Staff have engaged my child in everything even though he is non-verbal and suspected hearing problems, they have really made a massive effort to
make my child and myself feel comfortable at the nursery... even got him eating in nursery whereas before he wouldn’t eat anything at nursery - massive relief, he seems to try everything they give him now even if he doesn’t eat it all and that’s thanks to the staff in Daffodils.
Couldn’t recommend Daisy Day Nursery enough! Very accommodating and lovely staff members across the board.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter is 2 years old and started at Daisy Day Nursery at the start of COVID-19 due to us being key workers. She has never been to a nursery prior to this so I was apprehensive. My daughter absolutely loves it there. She’s happy going in and talks about the staff when she gets home. The food is
incredible and the activities are brilliant. I particularly love the app so I can see what my daughter has eaten etc throughout the day. I’ve decided to keep my daughter there long term despite being registered for a nursery closer to home! Highly recommended.

Review from Kate (Mother of Child) published on 15 July 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We attended the nursery as a short term, due to the pandemic. All the staff were so lovely, helpful and welcoming right from the start, even knowing that this was going to be a short term arrangement. We would have been completely lost without them. My daughter absolutely loved her time there and we
were at complete ease with her being there. The app was updated hour by hour, which was also really helpful. It was also clear that everyone involved with my daughters care had taken the time to read her forms and got to know her straight away. Also as new faces to the nursery, we witnessed robust safeguarding and security for pick-up and drop-offs. Can not recommend this nursery more and so grateful to all the staff for keeping their nursery open during such challenging times.

I can honestly say that my daughter loves this nursery. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. Without the staff members at Daisy Day Nursery, I wouldn't be happy leaving my daughter with them.
Also, the wrap-around service is fantastic when you're a full-time mum like me. And the app they have,
when you're in work they send photos and what they've eaten. It's worth every penny.

My little boy started at Daisy Day in the Bumblebee room in October. I was concerned as to how he would settle and was quite anxious about how he would cope in a nursery setting.
However, I needn’t have worried as he has settled really well and now looks forward to going every session! I’m sure this
is down to the lovely staff and the calm and nurturing environment he is in.

My 2-year-old daughter has been at Daisy Day for the last year and she absolutely loves it there. Every nursery day, she is filled with excitement at seeing the staff and her friends, as a working mum, I couldn’t ask for anything more! The new facilities are amazing as is the outdoor space, there’s
always plenty of activities going on and the staff are all fantastic with the children.

We have been thrilled with the level of care and professionalism exhibited by all staff in Daisy Day, Llanishen over the last year. The childcare staff are friendly, approachable and committed, and have provided age-appropriate care and activities for our child. We have used full-day care, wrap-around
and soon will be placing our daughter in Camp over Summer. We wouldn't hesitate to use Daisy Day again in the future - our child has been very happy there and that speaks volumes about care provision. Thank you, Daisy Day!

My daughter has been very well cared for during her time at Daisy Day Nursery. The staff have always been very caring and full of life. I am amazed at how much my daughter has grown as a young lady since joining. It is now time for her to move on to school nursery and I am sure she will miss everyone

What to say, its a mother's worst nightmare knowing you have to finish maternity and go back to work.
I view numerous nurseries and by far this one stood out the most, was very friendly and welcoming. When I booked an appointment I had taken my daughter with me and whilst talking to the manager she
had got out toys for my little girl to play with whilst we went through all the paperwork.
Then when we went down to all the rooms we had such a lovely warm and friendly welcome from everybody in all of the rooms.
When my little girl had her settling in visits, it made me feel at ease once she had settled down. I would receive a phone call to say she was happy and playing with all of her new little friends.
I would thoroughly recommend this nursery to any parent who is looking for a nursery for their children to go to as you will receive a very warm welcome and feel like you are a part of the nursery already.

My granddaughter attends 2-3 mornings per week and I collect her. When I arrive she is always happy and smiling, which says she is enjoying nursery. The staff are lovely and facilities good. Also, we are kept informed about nursery and how my granddaughter is doing. We looked at many nurseries and were

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.822)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.822) out of 10 for Daisy Day Nursery - Llanishen is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.847 for Daisy Day Nursery - Llanishen is calculated as follows: ( (236 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 275 Ratings = 4.847
  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 4.975 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Daisy Day Nursery - Llanishen is based on 23 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 118 number of registered child places is 23.6. 23 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.6 = 0.975
  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.
