Chrysalis Day Nursery & Pre-school

I have had 4 years experience of Chrysalis Day Nursery & Pre-school as I have had 2 boys attend since babies. I cannot praise the nursery/pre-school enough. My eldest child had additional needs and they could not be more supportive and helpful in meeting his care needs. The staff are excellent with the children, always patient and cheerful and they always have time for the parents. The learning environment provided is excellent and this was evident when my eldest attended reception in mainstream school. My two boys have always loved going to nursery/preschool and I cannot recommend their service highly enough. Excellent day care facilities.

Happy with the current syllabus for pre-school and preparation for starting school.
Also, appreciate that parents are getting involved with phonic homework and writing skills.
I would, however, like to see more physical activities in nursery/preschool e.g sports days getting kids more active outdoors.

My daughter loves her days spent at Chrysalis Nursery. The staff are all so friendly, helpful and approachable. I feel my daughter is in a safe, caring and fun environment. The emphasis on learning through play is fantastic and there is always a wide variety of activities for the children. My daughter especially loves taking part in music and movement and stretch and grow, playing in the home corner and dressing up. I couldn’t be happier with the progress my daughter has made since joining Chrysalis Nursery and I would highly recommend Chrysalis Nursery to friends and family.

As a new mother returning to work and having to leave my 11 mth old for the 1st time, I was both sad and anxious like most new mothers; how would my little one cope without me? Would she be bored? Would she miss me? Chrysalis Day Nursery totally alleviated all my fears. After a 2 week settling in period, my child was already beginning to wave me off smiling and laughing. She absolutely loves Chrysalis and I can only put that down to the kindness of the staff and the activities which they do with them on a daily basis which stops them from having even a second to miss their mummies.

The staff are incredibly helpful and have always happily answered every query I have had. Every evening when I pick my child up they take the time to talk me through her day, what she has eaten, what she has done which is something I really appreciate.

I would recommend Chrysalis to anyone looking for a nursery for their child.

We have used Chrysalis for both of our children and have nothing but positive things to say. The staff are caring and friendly and the children are stimulated with a variety of activities.

My daughter has been at Chrysalis Nursery since she was 8 months old and is developing into a bright, sociable, caring and confident child. All the staff that have looked after her, I have always felt confident leaving her with, all her key workers she has always formed close bonds with.
The days are always filled with fun, educational activities and they have a large outdoor garden area.
I have recently been going through toilet training and the staff in the Butterfly room really helped to keep my daughter on track to what we were practising at home.
I can’t recommend Chrysalis enough.

We’ve been very happy with the nursery so far. Our daughter has bonded very well with her key worker and all the other workers in the room. She seems genuinely excited to see them each morning.
The online portal the nursery uses is great, as each day they put photos and videos on the portal so that we can see what activities she has been enjoying that day. The staff really make an effort to think of new and exciting activities to involve the children in each day.
One big plus for us is that the nursery is open until 6.30 pm, just in case we get delayed at work. Most of the nurseries in the area are only open until 6 pm.
We’ve noticed that since starting at Chrysalis Day Nursery our daughter’s eating has really improved. She is much more willing to try different flavours and textures which she wouldn’t have done before starting at the nursery.

The settling-in process was very effective and helpful. The communication is very helpful and very honest and reassuring to help me with settling and not generic information.

The staff at Chrysalis Day Nursery & Pre-school have always been friendly, helpful and nurturing. Both our girls attended Chrysalis and we have never had any complaints. We are really pleased with the learning and activities which are always varied and enjoyable for the kids.

We really love this nursery. The staff are very friendly and we can see a lot of improvement in our son’s development. He always learns new things and is happy to share them with all the family.
