Chrysalis Day Nursery

He often talks about his friends, what they have been doing together and about the lovely food they have eaten. As a boy, he had not been interested in toilet training. Within 2 weeks of moving to Pre-School, he was fully toilet trained! This is due to the sheer dedication of the staff, and their skill at getting children to see tasks as games and challenges.

The staff couldn't do more for the children. They treat them all as special individuals and know each of them by name, as well as knowing all the parents by name too.

This is our second child through Chrysalis. We wouldn't choose another nursery and have nothing but praise for its ethos and dedicated staff.

Thank you to all the ladies for everything you all do!

Thank you, everyone, for taking such good care of my children when I work, I very much look forward to being part of the Chrysalis family for many years to come (especially now as you have a holiday club too!)

My son attends 3 days a week and can't wait for Wednesday to come around because he knows its preschool day. He has speech delay and is currently being screened for autism, the ladies put so much hard work in with him, never get frustrated and it shows, he's come on in leaps and bounds. He loves his ladies and his friends, the activities and games, he's well supported and the staff really go above and beyond to help him understand anything he struggles with and to understand him. There is brilliant communication between agencies. I regularly recommend this nursery, to friends, family, even complete strangers, I know my son is safe and cared for and is happy.

We looked at so many nurseries before visiting Chrysalis and we definitely saved the best for last! From our first tour to leaving our precious bundle with them for the first time at only five months old and helping her grow, we have had a great experience with Chrysalis and would highly recommend it. The children have a great time and love it there.

I was a little bit worried about it being a "big" nursery, but it's never once felt like that. It really does feel like a family - a really caring one, who know what they're doing and who we trust completely. The staff are fantastic and I can't praise them enough.

Do go and visit them - it's worth it!

Our two children have been at Chrysalis since the age of six months and our eldest has just left to start school, so my review comes with nearly five years experience, through every age group and with two very different children. And I have to say, that we have been so pleased we chose Chrysalis. From the early days of settling in, supporting our choice on EBM (Expressed Breast Milk), working with us as we started weaning, developing their independence to, in Chrysalis pre-school, helping our eldest be well equipped for school. Our children are treated like individuals and have been helped to flourish - whether that's supporting our son by working with speech therapists or stretching the learning of our eldest. They are both taught to be kind and helpful and are learning through play - messy play, using IT, outdoors, cooking, role playing, reading and art. They have both adored all of the staff - as do we. They're fun, supportive and always available. And now, as well as the nursery we adore their holiday club!

The standard of care is truly outstanding and they deserve their Ofsted rating - they really do care, nothing is ever too much trouble and every child is treated with the utmost care and love. The only choice for me.

The management and classroom staff always greet us with a very warm welcome and always go the extra mile to be professional and provide a personal service. Any questions or concerns we had in the early days were dealt with swiftly and satisfactory. My son has another two years at the nursery before he leaves for school, and I know that within these two years, the staff will be preparing him well, ready for the step up to primary school. I would recommend Chrysalis Nursery to anyone living in the local area or people who use the A556 for commuting purposes as I do.

The nursery and its excellent staff, have a very personal approach and make everyday matter. I would highly recommend Chrysalis and will miss it when my son leaves for school.

Chrysalis Day Nursery was home the moment we stepped through the doors on our enquiry visit. It's a nursery school with an unusual ability to make you feel very much accepted, understood and part of the family right from the word go.

Although we are British at heart, we moved here from South Africa but I was made to feel like a local. I have had a hard time letting go of Chrysalis Day Nursery as my son moves onto 'big school,' however, he has been so nurtured and loved at Chrysalis Day Nursery, that he has sailed through the transition absolutely brimming with confidence and extremely well prepared. We had been through a few different nursery schools by the time we found Chrysalis Day Nursery and it was like finding a peaceful haven where my son began to thrive, make friends and feel genuinely valued and part of a very caring community. The staff work hard with high levels of dedication, education, attention to detail and passion. They go the extra mile as a way of life at Chrysalis Day Nursery and its made it such a special time for us!

My daughter is almost 4 and my son is almost 3 and both have attended Chrysalis since being 9 months old. I cannot recommend or thank them enough for the care they have and continue to provide. Due to eczema, asthma and allergies, my son requires extra time and care. Every member of staff has taken a genuine interest in his care including the managers and ladies in the kitchen. Nothing has been too much trouble supporting me in making changes in his diet and routine. Talking to the ladies, I truly feel they take the time to get to know my children, their individual personalities and quirks really tailoring the care they provide to suit and enhance each child. They are also on hand to support me in any wobbles I have which, in my view, is going above and beyond. Something the staff/family at Chrysalis do regularly.

A really pleasant, warming nursery with very professional nurturing members of staff. My son looks forward to going to nursery and often comes out of nursery singing with joy.

We love this nursery and are so happy to be part of the Chrysalis family.

Our daughter started at Chrysalis Day Nursery in 2015 and from her first day she was welcomed into what feels like a big family. She is treated as an individual and the staff who have worked with her have encouraged her to develop as her own little person.

The staff have supported us through various milestones, e.g. the Cocoons ladies helped us through potty training and the Butterflies ladies are in the process of helping us transition away from nap times.

The range of activities is excellent and it provides the children with a great variety to help them learn and develop new skills/knowledge. I especially like how they spend as much time in the garden as possible.

We feel that our preferences are respected; this was evidenced during Easter when the managers spoke to us personally about an event that was planned, as we are not a religious family.

We would highly recommend Chrysalis and feel it is the best start we could have hoped to give our daughter.

Thank you to you all.

For me Chrysalis has gone above and beyond on many occasions when I've needed them and I can't thank them enough, my children think of it as a 2nd family. I wouldn't change anything!

My daughter has been attending Chrysalis Day Nursery for 18 months and has had a fantastic experience. The staff are so supportive and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. Her transition to preschool was seamless and we are really pleased with her development. We enjoy reading daily updates on the app and seeing lots of photos and videos of the activities they do. As a family, we are all going to miss Chrysalis so much once she starts school but hopes to return to holiday club and continue to grow the fantastic experience she has had there. We would highly recommend this nursery!

After moving into the area just over 2 years ago with our 2-year-old, we felt that we would never find a nursery as good as the one we had left behind but then we found Chrysalis and we have never looked back!

Both of our children (4 years and 20 months) now attend the nursery and there isn't a day where one of them has cried when we have dropped them off, the staff are amazing and both children are flourishing educationally, emotionally and personally.

At one point I was having some behavioural issues with my son at home, I confided in a member of staff who was extremely helpful and restored my faith and confidence that it wasn't my parenting and that my son didn't have 666 imprinted somewhere on the back of his head!! :-) This was a really challenging time for us but they supported us throughout.

For anyone looking for a nursery look no further, everything you could possibly ask for in a nursery is right here at Chrysalis!

My 4-year-old daughter has attended Chrysalis full-time since she was 10 months old. It is an excellent nursery with a real family feel and staff who genuinely care. There is an extremely low turnover of staff but also a good range of ages providing the experience and consistency that I felt was important.

My daughter has thrived at Chrysalis and I think she is confident, polite, caring, a good eater and speaks well, largely because of the time she has spent there. They have lots of outdoor time, do such a variety of activities and she amazes me each week with the things she learns there and has always loved attending.

We have found communication with parents is excellent and they support and care for your family as much as your child. We particularly found this when our newborn daughter was in hospital for 4 weeks earlier this year and they were a significant support to our whole family. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Chrysalis.

Chrysalis Day Nursery is an outstanding nursery, proof of it's recent Ofsted report which endorses my experiences. The staff are professional and child centred and have formed positive relationships with both of my children. Communication is excellent on both a day to day basis and also regarding educational advancement a detailed assessment is in place and daily planning of activities detailed and in line with NC. There is a true sense of community and my little girls have advanced in a short time. They are happy and content thanks to the quality care that they receive.

I cannot praise this nursery enough. My little boy started preschool at Chrysalis a year ago and immediately he proved us wrong. He was very quiet and shy, so we thought we would have trouble getting him to go but not one day has he not wanted to go and stay. The ladies are a credit, they are all lovely and make not only the children but parents feel at ease. They have all done wonders with his eating, from the fussiest of eaters of my 1of 6 children he now asks for vegetables and fruit, this is also very appreciated and an amazing step. Each day he comes home full of knowledge of something new he has learnt and is extremely proud of himself when telling us, which is fantastic for his confidence. I cannot fault this nursery in any way. They excel in every way from start to finish, from the settling in process, teaching, having fun and getting ready for school process. Just a shame he has to leave here to go to school shortly.
