Quality Childcare
Our dedicated childcare service provides holistic care following the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework. Practitioners maximise learning opportunities through planned activities and spontaneous play, supporting children's rapid development in secure surroundings. The Key Worker system ensures each child receives individualised attention while building strong relationships with families.
Early Years Education
We offer curriculum-based early education with age-appropriate play activities and equipment. Our child-initiated learning approach combines structured lessons with exploratory play, creating balanced development across all areas. Staff work closely with parents to understand children's needs and encourage progress through tailored challenges.
Outdoor Play Facilities
Extensive enclosed outdoor spaces provide all-weather play opportunities including seasonal gardening activities. Children develop physical coordination through safe, supervised outdoor exploration while learning about nature and environmental care through hands-on experiences in our purpose-designed gardens.
Healthy Meal Provision
Our nursery provides nutritious meals following carefully planned weekly menus focused on healthy eating habits. We use quality branded products to ensure balanced nutrition that supports children's growth and development, with special dietary requirements accommodated through flexible meal planning options.
Transition Support
We offer structured support for children transitioning between nursery rooms and phases using familiarisation programmes. Special Carer assignments help children build confidence through consistent relationships, ensuring smooth progression across our age-specific learning environments while maintaining open communication with families.

My little girl has been attending Chrysalis since September. When I initially phoned to book an appointment to go for a look around, the staff were so friendly and welcoming that I instantly knew that this was where I wanted to send my daughter and I have never regretted my decision. The staff were so patient in helping to settle her into her room and nothing was too much trouble. She is actually about to move to the next room up and Im beyond impressed with how the transition is being handled.
Im so glad that I made that phone call as my daughter had never been left with anyone other

We couldn't be happier with the level of care that Chrysalis provide for our daughter. All of the staff are extremely friendly, welcoming and understanding of the individual needs of each child. It is lovely to see the relationships that develop between the staff and children as they grow up. The play areas are spacious, bright and engaging for the children, and always have a great and ever-changing display of photos and artwork, showing off all the fun activities that take place every day. The meals are healthy and varied - we never worry about what our daughter is eating at nursery!

My son has attended Chrysalis since he was 8 months old, he starts primary school in September and his baby brother will be starting at Chrysalis. I cannot recommend the nursery enough. The help and support hes received is above and beyond, we couldnt have asked for better. The ladies are like family, my son cannot wait to get there and see all his friends.
