WHAT PEOPLE SAY
We cannot recommend Daisy Roots highly enough! From the very beginning, the team has been nothing short of exceptional. They’ve gone above and beyond to truly understand our daughter's unique needs and have worked tirelessly to build a warm, trusting, and positive relationship with her. It’s clear that every member of the Daisy Roots team genuinely cares about each child as an individual.
They take the time to listen, to understand, and to adapt showing deep empathy and dedication every step of the way. What really sets them apart is their proactive approach: they don’t wait for problems to arise, but instead thoughtfully suggest strategies and tailor support to help each child thrive

Daisy Roots is a huge part of our lives and the kids still talk fondly about their time there. I always said you were the fourth emergency service I couldn't have worked or survived without you!

My daughter has been attending Daisy Roots for four years and is in now in her last year at St Mary’s.
My daughter is diagnosed with autism, inattentive adhd and sensory processing disorder. She faces many challenges in her day to day life and finding an afterschool club with a strong, structured routine with loving staff members who she can build a trusting relationship with is crucial. My daughter found this within Daisy Roots.
Daisy Roots has helped her to grow and achieve in so many areas, I will always be grateful for her time at Daisy Roots. She has made and kept strong friendships, has grown in confidence where she is able to advocate for herself if she is struggling as she knows she will be listened to, she has tried many new foods that she would never try at home, (Daisy Roots will also always have my her 'safe' foods available so she is never left without) has tried new activities, has gained lots of social skills and has been able to be herself. Most importantly of all is that she felt safe, loved and had fun!
The team at Daisy Roots are the heart of the operation. You can see and feel the love for the children and everything they do is to provide the children with a wonderful experience every day. Nothing is too much trouble and they will go out of their way to make sure each child is happy and content. My daughter always leaves with a smile on her face and that means so much to me

I had the pleasure of getting to know Lauren and her team over a number of years when my kids went to both Daisy Roots After School Club and Holiday Clubs. Lauren managed to create a fun, caring and calm environment at Daisy Roots. She and her team tailored their services to cater for my children’s interests - the mixture of indoor and outdoor play worked brilliantly and the children were always really happy at pick up time. The quality of the food she provided was always first class and 2 years on my kids still speak fondly at meal times about the Daisy Roots pasta sauce! A true professional who brings a warm, caring and fun loving approach to everything she does - Lauren was born to run Daisy Roots and I would recommend her and the team to everyone

Daisy Roots was such an important, special and strong community for us since it was established (until we moved to Australia). There are so many things I want to say!
Evie was one of the first students at Daisy Roots, it was an absolute lifeline for us. Evie LOVED her time at Daisy Roots. It wasn’t just before and after school care, she wanted to go for holiday care too (which we often utilised) and she knew she would be safe, cared for and have a wonderful time every day. Not only this, but Daisy Roots being at school made that settling all the easier, especially when Josh started!
Josh has always struggled with clubs, he much preferred being at home. However, his time at Daisy Roots was more settling, comfortable and enjoyable for him than any other clubs he’s been part of.
As a family, Daisy Roots was part of our life for so long. The staff knew our children so well, they cared for them, made it easy for us to drop off and pick up and always assured us that the children were part of the DR family.
I will forever recommend Daisy Roots to everyone. What you have built is something special and something needed in any school community

THANK YOU DAISY ROOTS! For your help over the past 2-3 years, as your team always make my children feel safe and happy. I feel comfortable to have your great service so that I don't need to worry about them.
Last year you organised the theatre trip events for them all, unfortunately Yannie couldn't attend but Eunice did and enjoyed this special event a lot. I would be lost without your services.
Eunice and Yannie’s mum
Daisy Roots is a fun, safe, and engaging place for the children – the team care for the children so much and the children have the best time. Our daughter, who has had a bit of a rough go with school at times, always feels safe and happy while at Daisy Roots. Even when school was a bit stressful, she never experienced anything like that while at Daisy Roots. It became her safe haven during some difficult times at a difficult age, and I am forever thankful for that
Not once has my daughter complained about going to Daisy Roots - either after school club, or term time. She runs into holiday clubs without a look back, she never wants to leave Daisy Roots when I pick her up, and she always comes home with a smile on her face and fun stories from the day.
Daisy Roots is a special place, and what Lauren and her team have created goes beyond just a club where kids go to pass the time after school. They are engaged, happy, cared for, and you truly know that everyone there cares for the children
Emily's mum
I don’t have to tell you how much we love and appreciate Daisy Roots. Having been with you from the beginning when Evan started in 2017 and now with you looking after Jasmine, your after-school care is an absolute rock in our lives.
I’ve never experienced any mummy guilt about not being at pick up, due to Jasmine loving Daisy Roots so much. If anything, she makes me feel guilty if I pick her up too early!! Which I’ve seen with other parents and kids too.
If I bump into parents whose kids go to Daisy Roots, we’ll gush about how amazing you all are and how much our kids love it.
You all deserve ‘thumbs up’ and our support and rightly should be proud of the safe, fun, caring, child and parent friendly environment you created
Jasmine’s mum
Attending Daisy Roots has been wonderful for my son. Transitioning from nursery to school is a big step, and to start two new places at once, can seem very frightening (for both parent and child). I was honestly worried about how long the transition would take and if it would even be successful. Afterall, I wanted him to not just accept going, but to genuinely enjoy going. The staff and the children at DR have been utterly amazing at making my son feel welcome and involved - so much so that he went from not wanting to go, to not wanting to go home! What more can you ask for as a parent
Huxley's mum
I was fortunate enough to be one of the first parents to experience the exceptional wrap around care provision conceived by Lauren Reeson when she established Daisy Roots. I had already considered many other care options and I could not imagine leaving my son with any of them. Daisy Roots was different. It was not only a safe and nurturing environment, but a space in which Lauren and her staff worked hard to cultivate an ever changing and delicate balance of joy, fun and stimulation, as well as a sense of calm and support, as required - tailored for each child. It was precisely what I was looking for. I felt at ease leaving my son in safe hands under Lauren’s supervision. My son, now 13 years old, has such fond memories of Lauren and her team. He built genuine relationships that made him feel cared for and helped him to thrive. His time at Daisy Roots will be etched in the treasured memories of his childhood - for both of us! I would like to say ‘thank you’, Lauren - long may you continue to provide other parents with the peace of mind and level of care we enjoyed - it is rare to find

My son and daughter have been attending Daisy Roots Afterschool Club for almost 4 years, and we absolutely love it. It’s a warm, caring, and nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued, and happy.
Lauren and her team are amazing. They go above and beyond to create a fun and supportive space, making sure each child is engaged and well cared for. The activities are well-planned, varied, and enjoyable, striking a perfect balance between play and learning. It’s clear that the staff genuinely care about the children and their well-being.
As a parent, having that peace of mind is invaluable. Knowing my kids are in such good hands after school makes all the difference.
It’s a truly special club!
Flynn and Erin's mum
We’ve been with Daisy Roots for almost 4 years now and honestly, it’s been amazing!
The team is so lovely, caring, kind, and really great with the kids. You can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do, and that makes such a big difference. My son always has the best time there and comes home chatting about the fun activities they’ve done—lots of laughs, creativity, and just a really nice vibe all around.
One of the things I love is that there’s a great mix of ages, and all the kids mingle really well. It allows them to connect with others outside their usual class or year group, which has helped my son build confidence and make new friends across the school.
And as a working parent in London, the flexibility has been a lifesaver. The pick-up window is super convenient and really helps make that work/life juggle a bit easier. They’ve always been understanding and accommodating, which takes a huge load off.
Couldn’t recommend Daisy Roots more – it’s a brilliant wrap-up/breakfast/after-school club that truly supports both kids and parents
