My child has been going there for more than a year. He's happy but the office always messes me up. They have failed me so many times that I would happily change nursery. To start with, they put him through as he was entitled to 15 funded hours when he was entitled to 30. Then in July I informed them about the days my son would have from September. They said okay. End of August I phone them up to inquire about something else to find out they had put my son through in wrong days. I inform them afresh about the days I want starting a specific day in September and we both agree on everything. It turns

My daughter Crystal loves Dasykins Nursery school. She has learned loads of new things while being at Dasykins. Her speech is coming on well. The Nursery school teachers are very friendly and helpful they do a good job of helping to improve children's learning and skills. It's a great place to take your children to. The Nursery has a garden and a in door soft play area. Babies pre school miners and pre school children love all the activities that they can do at Dasykins it such an amazing place.

A lovely, caring, friendly setting. I couldn't have asked for a better place for my daughter to start nursery. The staff were helpful, pleasant and always put the children first. Making the transition into school was made so much easier because of how Daisykins was structured. I highly recommend this fabulous nursery.

Great nursery! My oldest daughter was there and youngest one is still here. They both like this nursery, always happy to go, never had any problems. Stuff is very kind, friendly and helpful. I'm expecting my third baby and no doubt she'll go to Daisykins as well. I recommend this nursery. Kristine

My daughter attends 3 days a week Daisykins pre-school. She has always enjoyed being here and talked about her Daisykins. The staff is supportive and often I have to have last minute extra days and the admin staff is more than happy to accommodate that. They have recently organised a trip to twycross zoo and i have been able to go with my daughter and I must say it was absolutely fantastic. I wouldn't recommend elsewhere.
