I am thrilled with how well my daughter has settled into nursery life. She loves all the staff and all of the fun activities they do. I feel like the staff have all taken the time to help and get to know my daughter and I am very thankful to them.

It’s clear how well the staff there know my granddaughter, by the comments they share about her. Comments that they wouldn’t know without spending time with her.
Thank you very much for your kind words. It's lovely to hear how you are happy with the care your Granddaughter is receiving from Chrysalis. I will pass on your lovely comments to the ladies.
My granddaughter is in the baby room at Chrysalis and since she started there we’ve gained an extension to the family, in the ladies that look after her. As grandparents, we love collecting her and seeing how much fun she’s had and how well the staff care for her.

My granddaughter is in the baby room at Chrysalis and since she started there we’ve gained an extension to the family, in the ladies that look after her. As grandparents, we love collecting her and seeing how much fun she’s had and how well the staff care for her.
The variety of activities and fun that the children are experiencing at Chrysalis is brilliant. My granddaughter has come on so much since she started there.
I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone searching for childcare.
Thank you very much for your review. It's lovely to hear you are so happy with the care your Granddaughter has received and how welcoming you have felt on picking her up.

The staff are so friendly and you can tell they all really enjoy their work at this nursery. Half the time I just want to stay and have a natter with all the lovely staff. Our daughter is a very confident little lady anyway, however, this environment has harnessed her confidence and allowed for her to thrive even more.
The extra things that the staff do just astounds me - ‘beach days’, ‘auntie Monica Friday disco’ and the pony that came into nursery recently - just to name a few things. All allowed my daughter to flourish and learn within a happy, relaxed, nurturing environment with each week full of new ideas.
Seriously the best nursery I’ve come across. We’re so happy with this nursery, even after moving recently - it’s so worth the drive every day to bring her here. Thank you each and every one of you. Your hard work and dedication do get noticed.
Brilliantly managed.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It is so rewarding for the ladies to hear that their hard work and dedication is recognised and appreciated.
The staff are amazing and the nursery is beautiful! Always lots of information on what the children have been up to and they also put it on display when you first walk in. Highly recommend!

My daughter has been with Chrysalis Day Nursery for close to a year now and overall my partner and I have been extremely happy with her level of care.

Overall, I would highly recommend Chrysalis Day Nursery to friends and family.
Thank you for your kind review. It's lovely when your little ones come home singing new songs... and teaching you the words! Working together is so important for building home/ nursery relationships.

As a parent, you need to feel 100% trust and confidence in a nursery you’re contemplating leaving your baby at, you definitely get this at Chrysalis! I’d been anxious about leaving her when my wife went back to work, but the endless reassurance and support for both the children and parents at Chrysalis is brilliant. I’m reminded that I can ring for updates as many times as I feel necessary, which on top of the detailed daily updates and photos I receive of my little girl's nursery days, shows me how much of a lovely time she’s having. I love how the nursery makes me feel so involved in her nursery life.
We are so pleased that you chose to bring her to Chrysalis and we look forward to watching her grow and develop over the next few years.
My granddaughter has been at Chrysalis Nursery for a year. I've found the staff dedicated, caring and very approachable. When I drop her off in the morning, she is eager to get out of the car and run in, and to me, that speaks volumes. The staff are always eager to share what she's been up to...
My granddaughter has been at Chrysalis Nursery for a year. I've found the staff dedicated, caring and very approachable. When I drop her off in the morning, she is eager to get out of the car and run in, and to me, that speaks volumes. The staff are always eager to share what she's been up to during the day so I can talk to her about her day on the way home. The admin staff are excellent if my daughter's been ill, they've always tried their best to take her for extra sessions where possible.

My son started nursery in January 2019, just after turning 2. He is quite an out going child but very emotionally attached to me. We struggled for the first couple of weeks with him going into nursery and leaving me. He didn’t really talk/play much with the other children. However, fast forward to today and he’s a completely different boy. He now skips into nursery, gets his coat off and goes into the classroom. He is very settled and that’s down to the wonderful work the ladies do. He is eating much better now because meals are at set times and I have followed the time schedule at home that they use in nursery. The ladies have been amazing helping him potty train and we are now going full days with no pull-ups on and hardly any accidents if any. He loves nursery and comes home singing new songs and telling me about his lovely day. He’s so more aware of what things are and how to do things. I love this nursery and I know I’m dropping my son off at a place where everyone loves what they do.
It has been lovely to watch your son settle into nursery and to him skip in happily now. Thank you so much for choosing Chrysalis and joining our extended family.

Our little girl has attended Chrysalis since she was 9 months old and she has always loved her time there. It made it so much easier going back to work knowing that she was settled, happy and so well looked after. There are so many different activities to do each day, it doesn't matter if they don't like one element as there are so many other options for them. Our little girl has made so many great friends, it's wonderful to watch how they grow together through the different classes. Thank you so much to all the ladies for all you have done and easing any concerns we might have.
It has been an absolute pleasure to have your little girl at Chrysalis, she is a delight and we look forward to watching her develop into a 'big school girl'.

The holiday club is an excellent childcare resource for myself and my child really enjoys attending. The staff are always really friendly and welcoming. My child thoroughly enjoys her time at the nursery, considering she only attends holiday club she feels like she is returning to a safe friendly place. The food is always healthy and nutritious which I appreciate as I like that she has a balanced diet. She always comes home and tells me what she has done and how many new games she has learnt whilst there. I would fully endorse and recommend the nursery as a safe place for children to attend.
Thank you very much Nicky for your kind review. It is always lovely to see your daughter in the school holidays, we look forward to seeing her again soon and hearing all her news.
Other than being left with her grandparents at times, she had not been left with anyone else and to say I was nervous was an understatement. But, I needn’t have...
Other than being left with her grandparents at times, she had not been left with anyone else and to say I was nervous was an understatement. But, I needn’t have been as the staff were so welcoming and have done everything they can to make my little girl feel comfortable and welcomed.
To know when I drop her off on a Monday and Friday that she is going to have lots of fun means the absolute world to me and I don’t think I will ever be able to thank the staff enough for everything that they have done for us.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, we will pass them onto the ladies that care for your little girl. We look forward to watching your little girl have lots more fun as she grows and develops through nursery.

The support and kindness the staff give to myself and my daughter is just perfect. We are both a happy mummy and little girl with Chrysalis in our lives.
We are so pleased that you decided to join Chrysalis and thank you for your lovely comments.

Both of our sons have attended Chrysalis, with our youngest currently in Butterflies room. As a family we have had a great experience with the whole nursery and find all staff to be caring and professional, taking great care of all the children. We feel safe in the knowledge that our boys are always looked after in a safe, fun and stimulating environment.
Thankyou for your lovely review, it has been a pleasure to care for both of your boys and watch them grow and develop.
Chrysalis Nursery is first class and when choosing the right nursery for our son (which he has been attending for two years now), we realised from inception, this ticked all the boxes in terms of a capacious layout, defined rooms for the different children's age groups and a really...
Furthermore, they have a fantastic on-site chef who prepares a variety of different fresh foods (and caters for all dietary/allergy requirements if required).
However, the real 'jewel in the crown' is the wonderful staff that work there, which include ALL the ladies on the front line and supported by a fantastic management team, led by the manager who also interacts with the children as/when time allows. Collectively this is what makes this nursery such a fabulous place for our son who enthuses daily, about his typical working day (or should that be, play). Well done to everyone!
Thank you so much, Peter, for your very kind review - it is so good to hear and yes we do have a fantastic team of dedicated staff.

My son started at Chrysalis in September 2018 in the preschool room. He absolutely loves it and has settled in so well. The preschool room is well structured and the staff are amazing, so patient and kind. They have made my son and us, as a family, feel welcomed. The office staff are helpful and always make time to speak to you. They are also accommodating and flexible to your child's individual needs.
The nursery and preschool always have events going on to get involved in but at the same time, there is no pressure to do so.
The food is varied and healthy. My son never goes hungry. I sometimes wish I could stay for lunch!
Although my son has only been at the nursery a short time, I would highly recommend it.
Thank you so much for your kind comments, we are so pleased that you decided to start your family at Chrysalis, it has been a pleasure to welcome you into our 'family'.

My son attended Chrysalis from the age of 2 until he started School and he loved it, every single day. The key skills he developed at Chrysalis, both social and academic, helped create the foundations he needed to start school as a happy and confident little boy. Years later, when we needed childcare for his younger sister, we didn't hesitate or consider any other nurseries; Chrysalis was the only place we wanted her to be and she's currently enjoying time in Cocoons.
The rooms are homely, creative, fun, educational, with plenty of safe green space on site for them to play outdoors in the fresh air.
The staff at Chrysalis, from the lovely ladies in the rooms to the amazing management team in the office, are friendly, approachable, and supportive of working parents. I've never felt that the staff were simply 'doing their job', rather they genuinely love what they do and the children who attend. Highly recommend!
It was a pleasure to look after your two children and look forward to watching your daughter development and grow over the next few years.
Both of my children (age 6 and 9) attended the holiday club at Chrysalis Day Nursery over the summer holiday in 2018. They both thoroughly enjoyed all of the varied activities and had "full" days. Plenty of outside space to play in and a healthy menu.

Many thanks for your review, it is always lovely to see your two children and to see how much they have grown since they came to nursery as babies.
It has been a pleasure for my child to attend Chrysalis, she has come on leaps and bounds with her speech, social skills and play. There has never been a day where she has not wanted to go, and sometimes doesn't want to leave, which is partly down to the ladies that entertain and educate her 5 days...
It has been a pleasure for my child to attend Chrysalis, she has come on leaps and bounds with her speech, social skills and play. There has never been a day where she has not wanted to go, and sometimes doesn't want to leave, which is partly down to the ladies that entertain and educate her 5 days a week, she has a strong bond with the ladies and loves to see them every day.
She enjoys the healthy balanced meals that are cooked by the nursery chef, and always fills me in on what she's had when I pick her up.
Overall I would recommend this nursery to anyone that is looking for an outstanding nursery.
Thank you, Holly, for your very kind review. It is a pleasure to care for and educate your smiley happy little girl.
