Frequently Asked Questions
At Daisy Chain Nursery, we know that choosing the right childcare is a big decision. Our FAQs are here to give you clear, honest answers to the questions parents ask most—from settling in and daily routines to funding and staff qualifications.
If there’s anything else you’d like to know, we’re always happy to chat.
What is your approach to settling in new children?
Settling your child into the nursery environment is very important.
The approach to the introduction of your child will be discussed on a one-on-one basis with you, and the optimum introduction method will be adopted depending on their age, experience and temperament.
Does the nursery have a variety of pre-school programmes, and how do activities meet Early Learning Goals?
The seven areas of learning are a focus of our nursery environment. These areas are:
Personal, social and emotional development
Physical development
Communication and language
Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding of the world
Expressive arts and design
We work with the Birth to 5 matters framework - more information can be found on https://birthto5matters.org.uk/information-for-parents.
Are there outdoor play areas for my child?
Daisy Chain Nursery has very well maintained large secure outdoor play areas where children can enjoy safe and supervised play in a pleasant environment, including -
large grass and safety flooring areas for older children, which also has a canopy for differing weather conditions. This allows children to play outside all year round.
a secluded lawned area where babies can play under supervision. This has an all weather surface so can be used throughout the year.
a sensory garden, where your child can explore different sensations.
equipment including a play house is also available for them to enjoy.
We employ landscape gardeners to ensure our outside areas are kept to a very high standard.
Are meals nutritious, and how does the nursery cater for individual dietary needs?
All diets can be catered for and the meals provided are breakfast, lunch and light tea. The nursery menus have been prepared in line with the recommendations from the community dietitian and in accordance with the guidelines laid down in Eating Well For The Unders 5s In Childcare.

What is your policy on equal opportunities?
Daisy Chain Nursery operates an equal opportunities policy.
All children, adults and carers are treated as individuals, taking into account religious, ethnic, cultural and other preferences and origins.
On a day to day basis this means that:
All carers must ensure that children are provided with information about different cultures.
Every child is encouraged to develop and learn without prejudice.
Equal Opportunities are fully integrated into our activities and displays positively reflecting the history and culture of living in a multicultural society.
All play activities reflect non-sexist and non-racist attitudes.
Role playing situations, books, posters, story telling, food & cooking activities, dressing up, jigsaws, and music are all used to emphasise our non-racist and non-sexist attitudes.
