In our Fiveways home-from-home, Chrysalis welcomes a small, mixed-age group of children aged 2 to 5 years old each day. From here, our loving Montessori Guides offer personalised care in a calm, creative space optimised for young children.

From the free-flow garden and beautifully curated Montessori playroom, to our nourishing weekly menu, everything we do supports independence, joyful exploration and emotional regulation.

Our children move freely through a rich daily rhythm: baking, dancing, gardening, exploring the local area and enjoying celebrations with our parent community, and more.

our nursery is different

  • The feel of an extended family with just six member families

  • A home-from-home setting where children develop a strong sense of belonging 

  • A hub of creativity where individuality and focus are nurtured versus working to a set end-goal

  • Highly-trained Montessorians with accreditations and endorsements from combined 10+ years working in Montessori nurseries 

  • Bespoke and evolving curriculum that plugs your child into their local community
