We're not like any other Day Nursery in Crawley. It's a good thing you've found us!
Our passion is to provide you with an outstanding day nursery in Crawley and childcare that will give you the confidence to leave your child for the day knowing that they are in a safe, secure and happy environment.
We were once parents trying to find childcare that felt right for our children and that promised to care for them the way we would want them to be cared for. We're always ready to listen; it's how we developed our unique Daisy Chain approach and how we continue to improve it.
Influenced by Reggio Emilia; Inspired by Children
We are passionate about developing an approach influenced by Reggio Emilia, where we encourage children's learning within an exciting environment in which they can freely explore and investigate using their natural creative skills.
The Reggio Emilia approach respects that children have a hundred languages which are the ways they express themselves. This can be using a variety of materials creatively, such as music, art, crafts, drama. We see our role as one to provide an empowering environment and work together with the children to develop these natural skills.

- You gain practical and relevant work experience – every apprenticeship program is tailored to specific job roles which means you know you will be receiving relevant training. You will also spend time ‘off-the-job’ which is undertaken outside of the normal working environment.
- You will boost your career prospects – you will develop key skills that employers within that industry really want. It will also help you enhance your longer term career prospects and earning potential.
- You will achieve sought-after qualifications – you will not only gain practical skills and experience, but in most cases a nationally recognised qualification.
