Both my boys started at Chrysalis nursery at 13 months and stayed through the pre-school. I highly recommend them, from day staff through to management, everyone is so friendly and helpful. The sites are so well maintained, the food is high quality, the activities are varied and they work hard to make sure they are school ready when the time comes. Thank you for giving the boys such a happy experience and always being ready to provide extra help and tips if asked! :)

My four year old boy attends Chrysalis and I 100% recommend! He loves his time there and always has such a happy day. I can tell the staff are really passionate about working with the children. Recently my boy had his birthday, because of COVID-19 we were unable to have a party at home so were delighted when Chrysalis had a party for him instead! He brings home lots of great crafts he has made and Chrysalis uses an online system called Tapestry so we get lots of videos and photos of his day. I also love that my boy gets freshly cooked hot meals at lunchtime (as well as snacks throughout the day). I have seen the meals when they were freshly cooked - they looked delicious and made 39 year old me very hungry!
