Amazing nursery, my daughter was very nervous at the beginning but has settled straight in!! She now walks in without looking back and absolutely loves it. The manager and the team are great and I love seeing the updates and activities they do on the app throughout the day.

Thank you Beth, We have loved getting to know her over the past few weeks, she is really beginning to settle in now

Daisy Fays has been fab with my daughter, she is always happy to see the lovely staff and head in to play. She has been there 10 months now and I can see her confidence and skills improving all the time, all the staff are lovely with her. They do such a great range of activities and outdoor play, I
love hearing about what my little one has been up to in the day. Food must be good too as we regularly get updated that she eats all of it plus seconds on occasion! The nursery is always clean and organised, and with seasonal decorations/themes. The app is helpful for updates. I highly recommend this nursery and my daughter will be continuing on with 3 days for the foreseeable.

Thank you. We love having her here and watching her grow, she is such a character. She does love her food!

A brilliant nursery with amazing staff. Our little boy has settled in so well and loves going to nursery to see his friends and the staff. The children are outside playing as much as possible and are constantly given activities to support their learning.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Really happy with how the nursery is and my son enjoys it and brings him out more each time he attends. Couple times my child would come out with a wet coat from water play even though I have put all in one cover and there was a time a guardian had to pick my child up and was 4 minutes late due to
traffic and was made to feel bad for being late and I don't feel it was needed. But over all really happy with the team and how my son is doing there! Would recommend them to others as great team and great at communicating!
Reply from Hannah Couch, Manager at Daisy Fays Nursery Carnon Downs
Thank you for your feedback. We apologise if your child has come home with a wet coat. This occurs as they wear their coats over water play suits to stay warm during outdoor play in winter. We did not…read more

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Daisy Fays Carnon Downs is the perfect nursery. The staff are great, and cater for all of my child's needs. They are all very informative, and give a thorough handover at the start and end of each day, which makes me feel 100% comfortable leaving my child in their care. They have taken the time to get
to know my child and her likes/dislikes making it more personal. They have a big garden out the back of the setting for the children to explore and seem to take the children out at every opportunity. There are always different activities set up each week to stimulate the children. They offer healthy foods at every meal time, and I couldn't fault them.

My little girl loves going to the baby room and has a big smile on her face at drop off and pick up. Her speech has really developed this term and, at 20 months, she's doing really well at letting everyone know what she wants!

After moving our son to Daisy Fays from another nursery due to his needs (he is neuro-diverse) not being met at that nursery, he is a completely different child. He is back to his usual happy, cheeky, adventurous self and is purely down to work the Manager and the Deputy Manager do with every child.
I cannot fault Daisy Fays or the staff and owe them a lot for helping us get our little boy back to himself again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A lovely nursery with a focus on outside space. My son has grown to love his nursery days at Carnon Downs. He went from a very upset little boy every morning to walking in or hurling himself into the arms of one of his favourite adults this month. I was really worried about sending him to nursery so
young as a first-time mother (he was 14 months) but he's blossomed and adores the interaction and stimuli he gets there. I chose this nursery because of the lovely grassy garden (sadly quite rare amongst other nurseries) and because I knew my son would be picked up, cuddled and looked after by warm, kind, good people. In the end, that's all anyone wants, isn't it? 3 months in and they've exceeded my expectations. Thank you.

The Carnon Downs Nursery team were excellent and really helped my child get ready for school. She particularly loved the outdoor play and it had a homely vibe with the use of slippers inside. We will miss everyone's friendly faces very much.

Thank you for the lovely review. She has been a pleasure to have here and we wish her all the best starting school.

We have found all the staff to be really helpful and knowledgeable our daughter has only been at nursery for 2 1/2 months and has settled in really well. Our daughter may have additional needs (currently being assessed) and nursery staff have been really helpful in this process and we feel really well
supported by them. I'm sure if our daughter does need some additional help she will be given this by Darnon Downs Nursery.

The staff have made our little girl’s first experience of nursery incredible. Our little girl has settled in so well and absolutely adores the team. Their friendly, engaging and caring approach has made this happen. The facilities are new, fun and interactive. I love the updates we get through the app,

My daughter currently attends Daisy Fays Nursery Carnon Downs and loves it! We recently relocated and were apprehensive about how quickly she would settle into a new nursery but we needn’t have worried. She has settled in so well and that’s thanks to the wonderful team. They do so many fun activities,
get outside whenever possible and have been so supportive.
My daughter always goes to nursery with a smile and comes home excitedly telling us what she’s been doing that day.

My two-and-a-half-year-old daughter has been going to Daisy Fays Nursery Carnon Downs for just over a year and she absolutely loves it! She was upset leaving me at first but very quickly settled in thanks to all the lovely and caring staff. Now she absolutely loves going and gets very excited! She has
a lovely bond with her key worker and looks forward to seeing her each time. They offer such a nice range of activities for the children which she loves getting involved in and they are very good at keeping us up to date with what they get up to through an app. I would highly recommend this nursery, they do a fantastic job and I cannot fault them!

Our daughter really struggled at a previous pre-school so we swapped to Daisy Fays.
Best move we made, she has really settled in well due to the care and attention of the team. The team are absolutely lovely and always put us at ease, especially with their updates on how she has settled etc.
Would
highly recommend.

Our four-year-old twins have loved attending Daisy Fays since they were one and as they have moved through the nursery the staff in each room have been so warm and caring, but most strikingly, they have actively engaged with their development and always given the impression that they really care for
each of them.
Our children always look forward to going to nursery and are always in a rush to tell us about what they have been doing with their friends each day.
We cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.

My son has just started preschool within the nursery, the transition has been seamless - all credit to the staff. He's settled beautifully. My son never complains or is ever resistant to going to nursery, in fact, I think he prefers his days in nursery to being at home! The staff go above and beyond
to make his days both fun and educational. I cannot rate Daisy Fays Carnon Downs highly enough. Thank you for being awesome!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.921)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.921) out of 10 for Daisy Fays Nursery Carnon Downs 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.921 for Daisy Fays Nursery Carnon Downs is calculated as follows: ( (165 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.921
  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 Fays Nursery Carnon Downs is based on 15 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 37 number of registered child places is 7.4, which has been reached with 15 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.
