Review from Amy H (Mother of Child) published on 15 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have been at Daffodils for the past 3 and a half years. It is a unique and inspiring place where our boys feel so settled and comfortable and enjoy each and every day they spend there. A fantastic team of really dedicated staff who provide such professional and creative care week in and week out. They offer practical and useful advice for challenging behaviours and helped us greatly when we were experiencing more tricky emotions with our son.

The outdoor setting has in fact improved a lot in the last year providing the children with even more opportunities to explore the outside world. The nursery has a fantastic set up indoors too which is quite a considerable size given the space they also have outdoors and in comparison to other nurseries locally. I must also say that the food offering is very good, all made on site and the chef comes up with lots of lovely, creative meals for the kids day to day. An amazing nursery I highly recommend.

Overall Experience

Both my son and now my daughter have attended Daffodils's. It's a wonderfully unique setting where children simply thrive in the outdoors. They have both absolutely loved the private woodlands and spending their days climbing trees and playing in the woods. I could not have asked for a better nursery setting for my children.

Reply from Daffodils Outdoor Nursery, Owners at Daffodils Outdoor Nursery

Thank you so much for your kind words. It has been wonderful to be part of your children's early years. Seeing children build confidence, resilience, and a love for the outdoors in our woodland setting is exactly why we do what we do. We're so grateful to have been part of your family's journey

Overall Experience

Huge fan of what they do at Daffodils. All the children get to be children! They play and run around, learn about nature and make a big old mess. Our son Arthur loves his time there and has made lots of good friends and loves his teachers. It's a very unique place and we're lucky to have it near by.

Review from V M (Mother of Child) published on 2 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We've sent our children to Daffodils Outdoor Nursery since 2023 and couldn't have wished for a better early years setting. The outdoor environment is truly special and unlike any other nursery around Market Harborough. Our girls absolutely love it and have so much fun every day.
The staff are kind, thoughtful, and genuinely get to know each child as an individual. Management maintain incredibly high standards with real attention to detail, and we've always felt listened to and supported as parents.

It's pricier than some nurseries and the hours are tighter, but there's clearly a strong rationale behind those decisions, particularly around safety and maintaining the quality of care. For us, it's incomparable to any other nursery in the area and we're so grateful we found it.
