We have had such a lovely experience at the nursery. The staff have been so reassuring and supportive, especially at drop-off when my little boy was really struggling with leaving me. They were always so caring and patient with him, which made a really difficult time much easier for both of...
Communication with me has always been great, and I have always felt kept up to date and reassured. All of the staff are so kind, caring and helpful, and it's clear how much they genuinely care about the children.
I'm really grateful for all the support they have given us and would definitely recommend the nursery to other parents.
Upon his return to...
Upon his return to nursery 9m later, everyone has gone above & beyond for him, kept him so safe, everything has been so hygienic, communication has been amazing. He loves all the ladies at nursery and I feel happy that he is well looked after, safe and learning all the time. The progress he has made whilst being at this nursery has blown me away.
The handovers with the staff are incredible, and they have supported us more than I could ever ask!
My youngest child also attends the nursery and started in January, and she has settled so well. She loves going to nursery and runs in herself.
I am so pleased we started our children at Chrysalis.

The staff are incredibly warm, enthusiastic, & caring. They have taken the time to really get to know both of our children as individuals & have always put thoughtful strategies in place to support their development and help them thrive.
The provision at the nursery is outstanding. They are constantly investing in the children's environment, with exciting new projects & play areas regularly being added, such as tree houses, book sheds, huts, & other imaginative spaces that encourage learning through play.
The administrative team are always quick to respond to any queries, making communication easy and reassuring throughout our time at the nursery.
We recently attended the preschool graduation - the amount of time, care, & effort the staff put into making it such a special occasion was incredible. It was a perfect reflection of the nursery as a whole and the dedication of such a united team.

The instant feeling of home and warmth at drop off really makes all the difference and takes the stress away from the reality of going to work. Our sons have been very lucky to have such kind staff looking after them, and everybody at Chrysalis is a credit to you!
Would recommend to anybody over and over! Thank you so much!
Our child really looks forward to going to nursery and this can only be down to the amazing staff and the great care they take in looking after every child. We have a seen a big jump in his development since attending the nursery. We highly recommend, excellent staff and service.

It's a home from home and I don't feel any worry whilst he's at nursery. He will be staying here until he goes to school in September 2027.

If I could give 10 stars I would, my son started chrysalis day nursery 2 and a half years ago and we've never looked back, all staff are extremely caring and loving to all children, they really care and listen to your child's wants and needs. My son is under the SENCO team , with a diagnosis of autism and I cannot fault they are amazing at what they do and he has grown into such a character from the care the staff provides, the outdoor space is excellent and the facilities, the sensory room is great also!!.

My son started chrysalis after a bad experience at a previous nursery. The ladies go above and beyond to ensure that your child is having the same care that you would give at home. The updates via the app are great to keep up the know of how your child has done throughout the day. The nursery itself is very looked after and clean and there is lots of brilliant outdoor space for the children to learn different skills. Nothing is ever too much problem. I can't wait to see how he progresses through the next few years!
A beautiful nursery with wonderfully supportive staff, who really take the time to get to know you and your child. They are a great font of knowledge for advice and tips.

I was very nervous about leaving my son at nursery and shouldn't have been. My son loves his time at Chrysalis and I feel is more rounded because of it.
Thank you to all the staff for their ongoing support and care of our son.

My child enjoys nursery and is beginning to say new words that he has learnt. The ladies have been very quick to resolve any issues/questions we have had which is a lovely reassuring factor that in my opinion is necessary when sending your child to childcare.

What a lovely nursery! My daughter is 15 months old and has attended Chrysalis for the last 5 months in the baby room. She has bonded well with the lovely ladies in there and photos show her having lots of fun. The office ladies are always very friendly and accommodating and communication is second to none! And my daughter thoroughly enjoys the yummy food cooked too! I would 100% recommend Chrysalis to anyone I speak to!
I couldn't praise this nursery enough. Everything they do for the kids is amazing. I always feel that they can't do enough, not only for myself as a parent but for my little girl. She's attended from around 6 months old and I couldn't be happier. The staff are amazing in every way and I couldn't...
I couldn't praise this nursery enough. Everything they do for the kids is amazing. I always feel that they can't do enough, not only for myself as a parent but for my little girl. She's attended from around 6 months old and I couldn't be happier. The staff are amazing in every way and I couldn't ask for more from them. Making the parent feel welcome as well as my child loving going daily, I couldn't ask for anything more. I've recommended the nursery to many colleagues and will continue doing so. Thank you to you all for everything you do.
Attentive and you feel you and your child matter. I have seen positive development in my little girl and I felt supported throughout her settling-in period.

Both of my children have been at Chrysalis from the age of 10 months old. They are now 3 and 15 months. From day 1 of starting at Chrysalis every member of the team at the nursery has been a friendly and welcoming face in the morning. When you walk into the reception, it feels homely and welcoming. My son has had difficulty with separation after being home with him more during my maternity with my daughter. However, the team worked with us and put in strategies at the nursery to help and support him attending nursery and within a few weeks, we had no issues getting him into nursery. We are forever grateful of the help and support they gave our family. There is never a dull day at Chrysalis! When I receive the notifications about what my son and daughter have been up to, it is full of activities many of which lots include outside play. We are very thankful to everyone at the nursery for providing care and opportunities for our children to thrive and flourish. You are a great team!
