Chrysalis Day Nursery & Pre-school

My daughter, Clara, has attended both Chrysalis sites over the past couple of years and I can't speak highly enough of both. The staff are truly invested in the children and my daughter has thrived in both sites. The staff are kind, knowledgeable and warm, making dropping off my daughter as a 12 month old baby much easier! She has grown in confidence in her time at Chyrsalis through the strong curriculum links, staff care/ attention and creative activities. Even during the UK science week, the children were exposed to daily scientific experiments! The food is healthy and cooked on site with was important to me. I would highly recommend Chyrsalis to Loughton parents.

The team are amazing. they take time to tell you about your child's day and what they have been up to when you collect them They do lots of activities with them that relate to the season/event. Grandson loves going to nursery

Brilliant nursery, great facilities, estates and activities planned for the children. However parking all of that aside, it's the staff that make it a special place.

They are kind, friendly, attentive and always there to help.

My child genuinely loves attending nursery and takes so much from it.

We would highly recommend Chrysalis Day Nursery & Pre-school.

My daughter attended Chrysalis Day Nursery since her 1st birthday and she has thoroughly enjoyed everyday. She has made loads of friends and loves all the staff. Thank you.

I can't recommend them enough, the staff are great. A special thanks to my sons key person who is absolutely amazing at his job, you can tell he truly loves what he does by the care, time and effort he has put into each and every day my son has been in his care.

We have loved sending our daughter to Chrysalis baby room since February. The staff in the room are so nurturing and caring, it feels like a home away from home for her and she is so happy there. The activities are so varied and she is having so many new experiences there. We love Chrysalis!

Thank you so much ladies, we really appreciate everything you do!

Our little boy started at Chrysalis in January and he had absolutely thrives in in development which we feel Chrysalis has aided. The staff in the Caterpillar room are so attentive and kind and really seem to love caring for the babies. The activities they do throughout the day is varied, fun and educational and we love receiving the art work that our little boy has done. Yesterday we went to the Mother's Day tea which incorporated a sensory/sing and sign session which was really lovely and well thought out. We loved the gifts received and the Mother's Day art and cards. Thank you Chrysalis.

Fantastic nursery with a warm and supportive environment! The staff at Chrysalis Nursery are incredibly friendly and attentive, always making sure the children feel comfortable and engaged. My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery and has flourished since starting here. It's wonderful to see her so happy and excited to attend each day. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing and caring place for their child!

My daughter has attended Chrysalis Nursery and Preschool for the past 3 years. Throughout her journey, we discovered she was autistic and the SEN staff at Chrysalis immediately picked this up and worked with us throughout all those years to provide the best support possible, from menu adjustments to sensory play and SEN coffee mornings; most importantly help with the endless paperwork required to ensure my daughter could flourish in her surroundings not only at nursery but thereafter through her education. All staff at Chrysalis have been patient, caring, understanding, creative, and overall reliable. Albeit the nursery seems small from a building perspective it actually adds to the homely feel, I mean the children even wear slippers at the nursery setting to enhance that homely feel. I am so impressed with Chrysalis my son will be joining much sooner than I enrolled my daughter purely because I know he will be well looked after but also supported to meet milestones.

We've been so happy with our daughter's experience at Chrysalis Preschool, she has learned so much and is prepared to start school. She's made great friends and the staff have all taken such good care of her. Thank you.

Our child has loved her experience at Chrysalis. Every single member of staff she has encountered over 3 years has been warm, caring, professional, and enthusiastic. While fees here increased hugely over the past few years - our only negative - the activities and opportunities provided to the children are excellent, both within the nursery setting and out in the community. We will miss them lots!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Chrysalis Nursery and pre-school. I have two children; one who attended a few years ago (and is now at school) and one who is currently at the nursery. The biggest positive for me is the staff - room staff, managers, maintenance staff, etc. They are all warm, kind, friendly and go out of their way to ensure the children are well looked after. The activities arranged by the room staff are outstanding; my nearly 2-year-old paints, bakes, plays in the gardens, sings, goes on walks, and the list goes on! My son also enjoys a weekly session with an external dance teacher who comes in to do sessions with them. Chrysalis is brilliant at putting on events for parents. I look forward to parent's evening calls with key workers. If I were to choose a nursery again for my children, I'd pick Chrysalis every time. I'd recommend new parents looking for a nursery go and see it for themselves and chat with the lovely staff.

Our son has come on so much since starting pre school. he has gained a confidence from mixing with older children that has helped with his own development. He seems to enjoy the structured days of circle time and routine that Chrysalis provides. The supportive staff at Chrysalis have also encouraged him to try new foods and persevere with trying to increase his food intake. My son seems very happy and always loves to tell me what he has done in his day there and who he played with.

Chrysalis Nursery is a wonderful place to send your child. The staff were incredible with all the children. The love and care they show always made me feel confident and happy leaving my child there for the day. The children learned in play and I saw her development go from strength to strength. Amazing activities, games, and parties were done for all which always made it exciting. I cannot thank the staff enough for their constant kindness, patience, and care.

My child loved her time spent at Chrysalis, she enjoyed getting involved in all the activities and loved to get messy. The staff are all amazing and dealt with everything that arose from allergies to behaviour all professionally. Moving onto school from Chrysalis, it showed all the work the staff put in as she is now thriving.

My two children attend Chrysalis Day Nursery and I cannot fault it. The staff are so caring, attentive and friendly. It is such a lovely feeling seeing how happy and content they are going into nursery every morning. The daily activities and schedule is extremely well thought out and is continuously changing so that the children never get bored. Both my children's speech and social skills have developed from attending Chrysalis which is all down to the quality of staff. I cannot recommend Chrysalis enough. My girls love it!

My daughter is a picky eater and so does not eat most of the food served but the staff are doing a great job in encouraging her in that aspect.

We know most of the staff now who have all been there a long time, which is a great sign.

My son is very happy at Chrysalis (Cricket Club Site), he runs in every day and he’s so sad if we have to miss it. He comes home singing French songs and with lots of arty crafty bits he’s made, which is fab as he doesn’t stay still much at home. They clearly have the magic touch! The staff seem to really enjoy working together and I do think that adds hugely to the positive atmosphere of the setting. The location is lovely, with loads of space and they take them for little trips to local businesses, the food bank, the war memorial etc. We are so pleased to have found this nursery and always recommend it.
