A Typical Day at Drayton Daisy Chain Pre-School

8:00am – 3:00pm Pre-school day

During the day your child will have the opportunity to experience a variety of engaging activities which are both adult led and child initiated.

Children can arrive from 8:00am where we have our breakfast club until 8:45am. During the morning the children will have the chance to take part in either cooking or playdough making, enjoy a healthy snack time with milk and water, within their key groups and also play both inside and outside. Our morning session finishes with a circle time session involving storytelling, singing or playing a listening game.

In the afternoon we have lunch at 12:00 where we sit with our peers and enjoy our lunches together, this is an extremely social time for children and staff. The afternoon then consists of more free-flow activities within the indoor and outdoor environments and finishing at 3:00pm with another circle time session.

Throughout the year we also often organise walks within our local environment, visits to schools and shops and join in with other events within the community. We are also lucky during the year to have outside providers such as Boogie Beats Music and Movement and Active 8 Minds lead sessions for our children.

What The Parents Say

‘The pre-school staff are all experienced and truly care about the children. They provide excellent learning through play opportunities in a safe and secure environment. It’s been a great place for my daughter to make friendships, learn routines and have fun!’

‘Your ability to encourage and engage all the children with the nativity was lovely to see. All the children felt happy and safe performing today and even if there were a few tears the children were quickly consoled by your staff (which shows the positive relationships formed). As a parent at the start of a journey into the world of pre-school I am over the moon with my choice of Drayton Daisy Chain.’ 

Mrs Marshall

‘It’s so much fun at Drayton Daisy Chain Pre-school, they have fantastic and varied play activities day in, day out. Children have the freedom to choose where to play with a great use of the outdoor area’ 

Mr Kneller

‘Drayton Daisy Chain Pre-school has been such an amazing starting point for my child and has taught her how to have fun away from her family’ 

Mrs Brown

Daisy Chain is a small pre-school that has looked after both our children during preschool age. It is ideally situated within the drayton area with easy access and parking, making drop off and collection easy.
As a family we recommend this preschool as they have allowed them to enjoy all aspects of being a toddler with a variety of activities some of their particular favourites being the mud kitchen, baking and the freedom painting!
In addition they have promoted and let them flourish in their own time to develop their independent skills in preparation for school.
You’ll find all staff are friendly, professional and provide support for both the parents and children in readiness for life challenges.

Miss Durman

My little girl started Drayton Daisy Chain in September and loves it. She is so excited to go to school in the morning to find out what the new theme is for the week. The pre-school change the environment every week to keep the children engaged which amazes me. If you want a preschool which has a family feel but professional, then this is the preschool for your children.

Mrs Hester

I would highly recommend Daisy Chain. My son loves going. There are always new activities for them to do My son loves painting, playing with the puzzles and the different texture activities they have there.

It’s lovely to hear him talk about the friends he has played with and what he has done during the day.

The ladies that work there are great and really approachable.

Christmas is fantastic, they do a lovely party for them and the Nativity is brilliant.

My eldest has just moved to infant school but they did a brilliant graduation party and ceremony for them, it was really special and my son still takes his cuddly bear present to bed.

Mrs Harris

Everyone at daisy chain is really lovely and it’s so nice to see my son smiling every time he comes out because he has had such a good day. Will definitely be sending my daughter once she is old enough.
