Great experience touring and enrolling my infant daughter before my due date. Anne, the director, was more than accommodating to us to give us a tour of the school and provided all the information on rates, waitlist, enrollment, etc. She was so kind to offer to meet us after hours for a tour due to the current policy being no tours during school hours related to covid restrictions. I highly recommend this top notch school with a fantastic director and staff.

I am due soon with my first baby and have been looking all around southern NH and the Chelmsford/Westford area for childcare for this fall when my maternity leave ends. We have probably toured over 10 childcare centers and not a single one compared to Primrose School of Chelmsford! The director, Anne, was so warm and welcoming both on the phone and in person. She was able to answer all of our questions and calm all of the fears involved in being first time parents and bringing our baby to a center! Anne and her staff really took the time to help us feel comfortable and excited about this new journey! We are on a waitlist for the fall because infant rooms are always very full, but like I said, I couldn't imagine bringing my baby to a nicer school than Primrose so we will definitely be waiting for a spot!!! Thank you Anne and Primrose teachers!

I would not put my infant in this school. When I first called this school, I was told that there are two infant classrooms, one classroom for 0-6 months and one for 6-12 months babies. The day we dropped our daughter at the school she was almost 5 months old. However, as the school wanted to have both classrooms full to the capacity they put our daughter in Infant Classroom B with babies 7-, 8-, 11-, and 13-month old! Our daughter got a diaper rash after the first day at the school. The rash got so bad after three days that the school called and said maybe it is better to keep her at home because of the rash. When we took our daughter to her pediatrician, she said “they are not changing her”! After keeping her at home for five days, and after the rash was gone, we took her to the school. They asked us what the pediatrician said but we needed to be nice and we couldn't say that she said you guys are not changing her, so we said her skin is sensitive and let us show you how to change diaper and how much diaper cream to apply!!!! So I went in and showed them how to change diapers! One day my husband went to pick up our daughter and he heard her crying in the hallway, when he got to the classroom, the teachers started to make excuses as to why they were not picking her up off the ground with all the other older kids!! Our daughter kept getting diaper rash and it was difficult to care for her at home with both of us working. We started to look for a nanny and when we gave our withdrawal notification and removed our belongings from the school, the director wrote back that we have a very long waitlist, but when my husband asked her if the school is going to charge us for 30 days or if only till our daughter’s spot is backfilled for the waiting list, she wrote back in capital letter "as written in the contract for the whole duration of 30 days"! Again, I would think hard before putting my infant in this school.

We had to change schools and were nervous about going to a "larger center", but the change came at a perfect time for our son. He needed structure and attention and he got just that. The school is run so well and you can tell the staff really care about each kid. Our sons teacher took her job seriously without being too serious. We weren't surprised to see a wait list when we enrolled our newborn there as well! Sad we moved out of state but the first thing we looked for was a Primrose school in our new area! Highly recommend this school!
