This nursery is a breath of fresh air!
All the ladies that work here are fabulous; they genuinely care about each and every child that attends here.
Both my children attended this nursery. My daughter, who has now started school, barely spoke when she started nursery at two and a half years old, and
within weeks, her language skills flourished! My children made so many friends and couldn't stop talking about the ladies who looked after them. This nursery has its own in-house chef who creates some amazing meals for the children each day. I'm sad that my children have grown up and left the nursery because the love and care those ladies have for the children is remarkable! I would recommend this nursery 100% to anybody!

We have loved being part of the Chrysalis Day Nursery family! My twin boys developed so much during their time here and everyday they told me exciting stories of what they'd been up to all day... and how much lovely food they'd enjoyed! Having previously left a nursery environment we were unhappy with,
we felt welcomed from day one here and I always felt complete trust in the care of the staff. Now off to big school, we'll miss this nursery very much... and have only lovely things to say about it.

Our daughter has been going to Chrysalis full-time for just over three and a half years. She joined the cocoons class and it felt like she'd always been there in terms of fitting in. She has come on incredibly well during this time and there is no doubt the Chrysalis setting and staff have played a
major part in helping her become this wonderful and kind little girl. The app is brilliant, I've really enjoyed getting daily updates of their activities with photos, lots of variety. My daughter talks about individual members of staff as if they are family and you can see the staff have a great bond with her. They spend plenty of time outdoors and there are different activities everyday. The staff are friendly and always will give a update on our daughter at pickup. The nativity play was amazing and also the nursery graduation ceremony was fantastic! The meals prepared by the nursery chef are fantastic and our daughter absolutely enjoyed them. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My children have loved attending the summer holiday club. They both enjoyed the range of activities and the interaction with staff. The numbers are small enough for each child to feel valued, whilst having a number of other children to interact with. I can't recommend the holiday club enough, I've already
been asked to book them back in for Christmas.

Chrysalis Day Nursery is just great, since my little girl started in April, I had to move her from another nursery as I had changed jobs. I was the typical, anxious mum but the staff were amazing with the transition for both me, my partner and daughter, putting us at ease knowing that our little, baby
girl was looked after and happy. The staff are so friendly but especially the caterpillar room which my daughter is in, two members of staff are amazing with her and she absolutely loves going, she has settled so quickly into the nursery it’s so nice to see! They have a gorgeous outdoor area which my little girl is obsessed with, great resources and activities they do daily which have made her come on amazingly since she’s been at the nursery! The staff keep you informed with all activities carried out throughout the day, either face-to-face or through the app.
100% recommend Chrysalis Day Nursery.

I can't recommend this nursery enough. My eldest went there when he was little, so I knew this was the only place to send my youngest. The staff are amazing and nothing is any trouble. The app is great to see what your little one has been up to, as well as pictures. My youngest loves his three days
there and always has a smile on his face for 'his ladies'.

Chrysalis Day Nursery is just amazing, since my little one started in December, the staff were amazing with the transition for both of us, putting me at ease knowing that my little one was looked after. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and do a great job with my child, he is now well settled,
loves going there with all the activities they do...from painting, reading, baking to playing outside. All activities they do has a learning element to them which is fantastic.
The staff keep you well-informed with all activities carried out throughout the day, either face-to-face or through the app. I must also say they have a great chef as my child loves the food but somehow not mine. Highly recommend Chrysalis Day Nursery.

The nursery is very welcoming from when we looked around for a place for our child to this day everyone is friendly with many years of experience. They have a good system to view what your child has done throughout the day and they do a lot of artwork to bring home which I didn’t get from other places!
My little one is enjoying it so that makes me happy and relaxed.

The nursery staff are all so lovely and have been fantastic at helping my child settle into the nursery setting. I love the app which gives me an insight into their day what they’ve eaten, played with etc and how they are getting on. Since being at the nursery my child has grown in confidence.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We moved last summer so had to change nurseries and never thought I'd find one as good as the one she'd been going to. I was wrong, my daughter loved it straight away. She joined the pre-school class in September and it felt like she'd always been there in terms of fitting in. She has come on incredibly
well these past few months. The Christmas nativity was fantastic and it's been wonderful hearing her sing all the songs she's learnt. I always feel well informed and enjoy collecting her and hearing about her day from the excellent staff. The app is brilliant, I've really enjoyed getting daily updates of their activities with photos, lots of variety. My daughter talks about individual members of staff as if they are family and you can see the staff have a great bond with her. They spend plenty of time outdoors and they have accommodated my daughter's vegan diet with no issues. I would highly recommend this nursery, especially being able to compare with a previous nursery.

My daughter started at nursery in August 2022 and we have been really happy with the service. My daughter loves going to nursery and has already started doing things that she wasn't doing at home and that is definitely to do with the support from nursery. The staff are really friendly and approachable.
I am so happy with the choice we made. The nursery ensures that we are kept up to date with everything our daughter does during the day and what she has to eat. I love how the staff treat the kids like their own. I have only positive things to say about the staff and environment!

This is such an amazing nursery. Our first child started here in 2013, and our eldest is now there. The staff, day in day out, make the nursery one of the most inviting, welcoming, warm and nurturing places you could wish your child to go to. My children have thrived here and love going - a truly outstanding
nursery. Cannot thank them enough for all they have done for our children!

My son was at Chrysalis Day Nursery from 10 months old all the way to primary school and now my 1-year-old daughter is also there. I can't fault the care they have provided over the years. My son loved the staff, he was always happy to go in. They are very flexible and understanding. The reception is
quick to reply to emails. The staff are knowledgeable and have given me good advice over the years, which was great as a new mum. I highly recommend Chrysalis.

My little girl has been at Chrysalis Day Nursery since she was 9 months and it was honestly the best thing we could have done for her! Every day, when we pick her up she has a huge smile on her face. Everyone at the nursery is kind, patient and accommodating. We have no family that live local to us
that can watch our little girl, while we work and being first time parents, our top priority was to make sure that her needs took priority. The nursery staff make sure that my daughter has an engaging and fun time when she is at nursery and we are confident that she is safe and happy. We always get detailed handovers at the end of the day, and if we need to, we know we can call the nursery any time for an update on how her day is going. I recommend Chrysalis Day Nursery to anyone in the area who is looking for the best childcare their child can get!

Our son started this nursery in June 2022, and I couldn’t recommend it more highly. Each and every single member of staff is a credit to the profession. They are superb! So friendly and attentive, yet professional. They listen and support parents just as much as settling, soothing and supporting our
child. Every day they greet me or my partner with our son with such smiles and enthusiasm, and they have truly offered a service above and beyond. Our key worker and all the other staff are simply outstanding and their passion for what they do shines throughout everything they do. They dedicate such care, love and compassion to the children in their care, and although it is an adjustment as a mother to see staff interacting with your baby from afar (like when I collect my son) I literally wouldn’t have it any other way or and the reassurance and trust from their staff is priceless. They know all the children by name, their mannerisms, their likes and support needs. They are simply amazing.

I couldn’t be happier with the care my daughter has received since joining Chrysalis Day Nursery. Having had a bad experience with another nursery we were apprehensive at trusting a new nursery with the care of our daughter who has additional medical needs, but we shouldn’t have been. The staff have
gone above and beyond to understand our daughter's needs and give us regular feedback that we can share with other health professionals. Our daughter is happy going to and coming home from nursery and loves to tell us about her day. We have no hesitation when sending her into the nursery and her younger sister will be joining her in the coming months.

I would not hesitate to recommend Chrysalis Day Nursery. Our son has been there nearly 4 years and our once tearful baby - who didn’t want to be left by his mum - has grown into a confident, giggly, adventurous, fun-loving pre-schooler. It is a wonderful, fun, creative and vibrant environment. The
staff are dedicated and approachable and they treat every child as an individual. They know their likes and dislikes, favourite toys and current interests. The nursery provides delicious fresh food and they plan an incredible range of activities in both the indoor and outdoor space. We are provided with updates each day via an App and always contacted in the event of any issue or concern. Our son had quite a few additional needs in his early years and the nursery was able to accommodate and plan round them. As a result, we have seen great leaps in his progress and he loves learning. We have never doubted that our son is safe, happy and cared for at Chrysalis Day Nursery - it’s a lovely place.

Cannot recommend Chrysalis Day Nursery enough. My daughter started in Caterpillars at 14 months old after delays due to the pandemic and as hard as the transition was for her all the ladies, both in the rooms and front of house, were amazing and made it very easy. I was reassured a lot and nothing has
ever been too much trouble. My daughter is now in butterflies and loves going, she loves to role play at home and she likes to be one of the ladies, reading me stories and gets toys out for me to play with. She eats better than I do with the varied and nutritious menu. They always respond promptly to queries and are all super friendly and lovely people. I have been impressed with the safety and even received calls to double check when relatives turn up to collect my daughter if I have forgotten to inform them which I think is really important. I feel really relaxed about my newborn son starting there in a few months and wouldn’t entertain sending him anywhere else. Thank you to everyone!

We recently moved to Northwich and we take our daughter (4) to Chrysalis Day Nursery. She has had a lot of change in her life so we were a little nervous with all that's going on; we had no need to be, she settled in brilliantly due to the attention, love and care from the staff. Chrysalis is bright,
clean and welcoming, with a lovely layout that allows my child to play and move. Their staff are all very approachable, helpful and a delight, she hugs them goodbye at night and has formed a bond in a short time. They do lots of activities and we get an endless array of crafts and pictures, which we love. They have a pet snail! The children can see through a counter to a kitchen, this is brilliant as our child asks about food, it has made her a little more adventurous in food which is a hidden bonus.
Brilliant, would recommend.
Also, good location with parking.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.904)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.904) out of 10 for Chrysalis Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.904 for Chrysalis Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (218 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.904
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Chrysalis Day Nursery is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
