Chrysalis Day Nursery

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!

Also, good location with parking.

Would definitely recommend.

Great team and I am pleased my son gets to learn from them and experience the friendly, fun culture.

My daughter started at Chrysalis Day Nursery when she was 11-months-old, I was initially really nervous about putting her into a nursery but we definitely made the right choice selecting Chrysalis. It is so evident how much our daughter loves attending by the way she walks through the door each morning. The nursery staff are just lovely and it is so nice to know she is in safe hands with staff who really care. We are always given a good insight into what she has been up to every day and the app is filled with pictures, stories, food updates and other general remarks about her day. We have noticed such a big difference in our daughter's development since she has been at Chrysalis and she is always coming home having learnt new things. The meals at Chrysalis are so varied and nutritionally balanced, this has really helped our daughter become a generally good eater or she is at least willing to try most new foods! We are really glad we picked Chrysalis and it comes highly recommended from our family!

My granddaughter is 19-months-old and has attended this nursery for the last year or so. The staff are extremely kind and very caring, the food provided is excellent and the feedback given at the end of each day is really thorough and helpful. Since starting at the nursery my granddaughter has come on in leaps and bounds - when she started she was tearful when she was dropped off but very quickly that stopped and she now walks in on her own very happily. When I collect her she is always engaged in what she is doing and is in no hurry to come home! The app is very good and gives an overview of the day. All staff without exception are lovely and I can't praise them highly enough.

This nursery is amazing! All staff are friendly and approachable, and always happy to help with anything. They are all brilliant with my child, they have helped numerous times with my child and myself with advice on some things. I love this nursery and wouldn't go anywhere else as my little one loves it too!

My daughter started here in January 2021, since then she has developed both her social and educational skills where key developmental milestones have been achieved thanks to the nursery's time and effort. The nursery staff are caring, thoughtful and are always going the extra mile, such as when we all had Covid they asked if we needed anything such as the basic food. The staff treat each child as if they were their own and this is noticeable by the happy/smiley children as I go to collect my own daughter, and that she enjoys her days at Chrysalis Day Nursery and is excited for her next day there.

Thank you to the amazing Chrysalis team.

We've had a wonderful experience sending our daughter into Chrysalis. Firstly with the staff, who are always very welcoming and lookout for the best interests of our daughter who always seems really happy and chatty when picking her up. We always feel comfortable that she has been looked after well and given how tired she is when home, obviously been very active in the day! We also see updates on the app and the newsletter too, which is lovely to see our daughter develop and so engaged. Also, must note that throughout the past couple of years the protocols around Covid have been excellent too. Overall, certainly wouldn't have any issues recommending nursery to other parents. Super!

My little boy started at the nursery when he was 10 months old. I was concerned about how he would cope at such a young age, but I needn’t have worried. Chrysalis is an amazing nursery. The staff are so caring and friendly and my son absolutely adores them. He settled in really well and has formed a lovely friendship circle. He genuinely looks forward to going every day! He recently moved from the baby room to the toddler room, and I was worried about how he would cope, as he was so attached to the staff in the baby room, but he took it all in his stride and it was handled really well. His development, confidence and personality has thrived under the team. You get daily updates and pictures via the app telling you about their day. There is a wide variety of activities each day and a fantastic, varied selection of meals for them to try. They also assess his milestones via the early year's framework, so you can follow their development. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chrysalis.

Lovely, clean, friendly environment, all staff are lovely. My daughter started aged 9 months (now 20-months-old.) initially for one day per week, now goes three days per week, she goes in without a care in the world, she really does enjoy her time here. All healthy, home-cooked meals, cannot fault this place at all, would 100% recommend Chrysalis Day Nursery.

Great little place for my granddaughter. She really enjoys it here. She is learning so much and developing in the most wonderful way. She is a proper little character. We wouldn’t want her to be anywhere else. The staff are wonderful, all of them, but our family fave is the deputy manager.

Our daughter joined Chrysalis Day Nursery at 12-months-old. The setting is clean, welcoming and inviting. Our daughter has really settled into the setting so quickly, she holds her arms out to the staff who welcome her in in the morning, and staff are always warm and friendly with me too when I drop her off. They are reassuring and informative at the start and end of each visit, giving me details of her day including meals she's had/wet nappies/sleeps/activities she has taken part in (this information is also completed daily and easily accessible on the app). This place really is great! I would highly recommend Chrysalis to other parents. Thank you to the amazing team! Your efforts are much appreciated.
