About Daisy Chain
Daisy Chain preschool has been established since 1985 and offers term time care for 2-5year olds in a safe, friendly, exciting environment in which they develop their desire to explore and learn.
Our aim is to provide for the diverse needs of all children and families, working in close partnership with parents and carers.
We base our curriculum on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Framework which provides guidance to early years workers to support children in their physical, emotional and mental learning from birth to the end of their Reception year in school.
We have a high proportion of qualified staff that continue to update their knowledge offering your child a better standard of care and understanding in which they can blossom.
We operate a “keyworker” system in which each child is assigned to a particular member of staff. This helps to build bonds between child and staff, easing the settling in process.
They will observe, plan, and track the children’s progress following the EYFS framework. This is then uploaded onto each individual child’s kinderly profile. Kinderly is an online learning journey that enables parents and carers to be able to view their child’s progress anytime.
Fees at present are £7 per hour.
Fees are payable each half term in advance via bank transfer. Refunds are not made for absence. (Fees for long term absence may be negotiable). Daisy Chain accepts funding for 2,3 and 4 year olds, for more information on funding please click here https://www.gov.uk/help-with-
At Daisy Chain we aim to provide for the diverse needs of all children and families. Working in close partnership with parents and carers.
