My son has been SO happy at nursery and we have had no issues leaving him, knowing he is safe, well looked after and having amazing times! I was so emotional for him to leave for school and a big part is because we will miss Chrysalis SO much!

Thank you for your lovely e-mail we will certainly miss your little boy - so many happy times for us to remember him and what a star he was in the Nativity play leading Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem. Don't forget to come and see us soon.

We have been part of the Chrysalis family now for 5 years with our son and daughter both attending and thoroughly enjoying their time in nursery. Our son is now at school but has been to the super holiday club too. The relationships and bond that all of the staff create with each child is so special and reassuring to us as parents. A huge range of activities, both indoor and outdoor, are available throughout each and everyday guaranteeing 100% enjoyment for the children. The attention to detail of all staff is superb and nothing is ever too much trouble. We highly recommend the nursery, it is quite simply fantastic!
Thankyou for your lovely comments, it has been a pleasure to have your family as part of our Chrysalis family for the last five years and hopefully many more to come!

My nephew has been at Chrysalis Day Nursery 3 years now. He has come on so much, the staff are lovely and very friendly also very approachable which is great to be able to speak to any of the management and all of the staff. The hygiene is excellent, I have been to collect my nephew a few times and the nursery is managed to a very high standard, I would highly recommend the nursery, it is a lovely place from the few times I have been.
Thank you for your lovely review we hope to see much more of you in the future.
Both of my boys attend. My eldest from 10months - preschool. Meet the wonderful managers and carers first hand and you won’t look back. All rooms have caring and thorough staff. There is a wide age range of staff and a couple of men.

Both of my boys attend. My eldest from 10months - preschool. Meet the wonderful managers and carers first hand and you won’t look back. All rooms have caring and thorough staff. There is a wide age range of staff and a couple of men.
As a working family, I must say the flexibility and understanding of this nursery is outstanding. They have a really sensible approach to childhood illness too.
My slight concern was the lack of green space but they have lovely gardens and equipment. They take them on walks.
In preschool, they are preparing my son well for school. He has had the opportunity to enjoy tennis/football/music without extra cost.
They have done plenty of art and messy play. The nursery clearly supports reading. The nativity was an absolute gem! Every child had a role they were proud of and lots of singing.
They have some well-educated staff who are well informed of EYFS. The nursery communicates with parents very well. There’s an app. The staff are approachable and available.
Thank you for your lovely review, it has been a joy caring for your 2 boys and now that your eldest son is more than ready for school, we look forward to watching your youngest son blossom as well and look forward to more Scottish dancing with Grandma and music with Daddy.

My youngest is now set to leave and we will miss being part of the family. I am sure we will continue to use your holiday club as my eldest has a fantastic time there and never wants to come home! I usually end up sitting in the beautiful garden (eating ice pops) watching the children perform a show before we can leave!
All the way through nursery, the amazing ladies have always done all they can to settle my children, make them feel at ease and feel special and proud of their achievements.
On grandparents day, my parents and in-laws were blown away by the nursery - we still talk about the fabulous time they had. The graduation ceremony is something we will always remember.
Thank you Chrysalis for providing such exceptional care and learning opportunities for my children.
Thankyou for your wonderful comments , it has an absolute pleasure having you as part of our Chrysalis family and we look forward to seeing you back in holiday club.

We moved our Son to Chrysalis from another nursery and are so happy we did. He often runs into nursery excited to see his friends and staff. The staff are fantastic, nothing is ever too much trouble and they are very experienced with a lot of staff long-term employees. The care for the children is their priority, which is what we were looking for, a nursery can look the part but it's the staff, and our confidence in them, that matters. They also have a fantastic holiday club for my school age daughter.
We are so glad you decided to come to Chrysalis from your previous nursery. Your little boy has settled very quickly and enjoys all the activities and opportunities that are on offer to him every day.
The effort and enthusiasm the nursery put into everything is exceptional, this is specifically relating th the royal wedding. The nursery got in the royal spirit and decorated everywhere.

The effort and enthusiasm the nursery put into everything is exceptional, this is specifically relating th the royal wedding. The nursery got in the royal spirit and decorated everywhere. They talked to my daughter about it and got her so excitied for the event and she understood the wedding, who was marrying who and explained the importance of the royal family. Well done Chrysalis Day Nursery. What an amazing nursery!
Thank you for your review. We were thrilled with the response we got from the children about the royal wedding and so decided to have our very own which went down very, very well with everyone. The nursery staff always go that extra mile each and every day.

Our daughter has been attending Chrysalis since she was 9 months old - she is now 2 and we could not be happier with our choice of nursery - we are just so very glad we found Chrysalis! The facilities and outdoor space are excellent and the activities they take part in each week are great! What stands out most with Chrysalis is the staff (ladies in the rooms, office staff and managers) - they are so very caring in their approach to not just our daughter but to us as parents, and grandparents who drop off/collect - and this makes so much difference. In particular, when our daughter is feeling under the weather - the care has been outstanding and we couldn't wish for anything more from those looking after her. The staff have made us all feel reassured and safe leaving her in their care, which has such a positive impact on us all. We cannot recommend Chrysalis enough - and most importantly our daughter absolutely loves nursery days! We are looking forward to her years ahead at Chrysalis.
Thank you for your wonderful comments. We have always said a nursery is only as good as its staff ... and we think our staff are amazing, we are very proud of them all!
I am absolutely delighted with everything about Chrysalis. The care given to my child is second to none, the staff are all lovely and extremely caring and the nursery itself is in a good location with excellent gardens. My child loves coming to nursery each day and I just wish I had known about it...
Added to this the office ladies couldn't be more helpful and accommodating. What more could anyone ask for?
Thank you for your lovely review, it has been a pleasure to look after your children and we wish you had found us earlier too!

We joined Chrysalis after a rather stressful end to our old nursery journey. From the moment I made the phone call to book our show around visit the girls in the office empathised with my situation and seemed to understand how nervous I had been left. I had a week to get him settled in his new environment and every effort was made to make us both feel comfortable with the transition. After a week I could see it was going to be fine! He has settled brilliantly, all the girls are extremely knowledgeable and have a connection with every single child individually, which is lovely to see. Within his first few weeks he started to use signs at meal times, these have all been picked up at the nursery. Meal times are probably one of my son's favourite points in the day and the onsite chef certainly tops Mummy's cooking, the menu is varied and allergies are all taken into account. We are both looking forward to continuing our journey over the next few years.
Thank you, Zoe, for your wonderful review of the nursery, especially as you have been at another nursery in the past. We very much value your comments and have passed them onto all members of staff concerned. It is so good to see when a child settles and we do make every effort to make this happen, after all your little one is your most precious item.

My daughter started here 4 years ago and she is currently in the final stages of pre-school, I also have a son who has just started in the nursery. Every single member of staff here is so welcoming and helpful to both the children and parents. The atmosphere across the nursery is calm, nurturing and child-centric and from my first visit, I could tell that my children would blossom at the nursery. The office staff are really approachable and so knowledgeable that the children and parents quickly build up a relationship with them. The staff in each of the rooms really are experts on the child age groups in each room and work really hard to not only create a great learning environment but a caring one, my kids always feel content going for a cuddle with the ladies when upset and always come home happy at the end of the day. The outside space is fantastic, with great equipment and lots of space, I love that the kids play out regardless of the weather. All in all, I cannot fault Chrysalis.
My daughter has been attending Chrysalis for 2.5 years from her being around 8 months old. Every single room has been amazing. All of the staff treat all the children like their own.

My daughter has been attending Chrysalis for 2.5 years from her being around 8 months old. Every single room has been amazing. All of the staff treat all the children like their own. There are so many activities every day to support their development and needs. Sometimes it can take us 20 minutes to leave as my daughter loves it so much and insists on saying goodbye to all her ladies. She loves them. Hearing other people’s bad experiences of other nurseries just confirms that this is the best. We have not had one single issue and nothing is too much trouble for them. I cannot recommend them enough. You can see the staff all engage very well with each other and clearly enjoy working there too. I never imagined I would ever be so comfortable leaving my baby with anyone other than family but I can honestly say now that I could not be more comfortable with this nursery caring for her if I tried!
Thank-you Jade for your wonderful comments. It has been a pleasure watching your little girl blossom and grow into the confident little girl she is today. We look forward to many more happy times ahead! I will pass your comments onto the Ladies!

The nursery provides an excellent balance of play and teaching that has encouraged my child to develop and grow in many aspects of his life. The day is very well planned out and there is excellent interaction with the staff including regular reviews of my child's progress. The play which is both inside and outside is crucial in my view to my child's overall help and development. The ability to view what's occurring during the day and access this information at home is a brilliant method of keeping up with my child's day and activities which enables me to have a conversation around his day at nursery. The nursery is clean, bright and is extremely well stocked with learning equipment with teaching being immersed in their play during the day. Excellent establishment.

Our son is in his second year at Chrysalis and I can't recommend the nursery highly enough. The range of activities, celebrations and learning opportunities that staff constantly create for all the children is above and beyond what I ever expected in a nursery. The setting is clean, bright, warm and welcoming and we immediately knew this was the nursery for our family on our first visit. Staff are attentive, enthusiastic and supportive of not only our children but parents too - from leaving them for the first time to the challenges of potty training. The food they provide is fresh, healthy with an imaginative twist - Gruffalo pie for World Book Day! As our son gets ready to start school this September, I know they have provided solid foundations for this next big step and as our second son prepares to start at the nursery I'm thankful our family get to experience another Chrysalis Christmas which is truly magical for all!
We love Chrysalis! All 3 of my children are thriving their way through this nursery. The nursery is great and strives to be the best (they are the best)! All of the ladies are brilliant at what they do and my children have all built close relationships with all of the staff. They get brilliant...
The space outside of the nursery for the children to play in is a huge space, with lots on offer for them to choose from! My children love every day that they spend here and hate to come away from all of the fun that is on offer to them. It really is a home from home environment for the children and I cannot recommend it enough!
Thank-you for taking the time to feedback and for the lovely review. We are so pleased to hear we continue to deliver such a great service. It really makes our day to know that you are so happy with the service we deliver.

I can not praise Chrysalis Holiday club enough. The staff are outstanding and really care about each individual child. There is a range of activities to entertain children of all ages, the outdoor area is a particular favourite for my niece. She also enjoyed lots of craft activities, drama/role play and trips to the park. Furthermore, the food is amazing and provides a healthy range.
I know she is safe and happy at Chrysalis and always has a fun-filled day.
I would strongly recommend Chrysalis Day Nursery and Holiday Club.
The standard of care and resources provided at Chrysalis Day Nursery is outstanding. I would recommend the nursery to any parent/guardian thinking of sending their child there.

When we moved to Northwich we were moving our daughter from a nursery which we were very happy with. Chrysalis has been even better in almost every way. Every member of staff we have met have been excellent, making us feel like they look after our daughter as if she was their own. Our daughter could not be better cared for. Chrysalis is a truly outstanding nursery.
Both our children have attended this nursery/pre-school from 9 months old until time to start school. Every single day attended by both has been thoroughly enjoyed. From the moment you drop off to the moment you pick up you are confident that your child will be cared for to the highest standard....

From the moment you drop off to the moment you pick up you are confident that your child will be cared for to the highest standard. Every single member of staff is excellent, most of whom have been there for 10 years plus. The facilities provide a wonderful place for your child to grow and learn.
The staff, the setup, the meals, everything is spot on and they make you feel like part of their family.
