A nature-inspired, forest school where children aged 6 months–11 years discover their brilliance through play, creativity, and real-world adventure — from our crèche all the way through to Year 6 Primary.
At The Chrysalis, we believe children learn best when they are free to explore, question, and discover — in nature, through play, and with joy. Our forest school approach combines the best of early childhood education with outdoor learning, creativity, and hands-on experience.
The outdoors is our classroom. Children explore, discover, and connect with the living world around them every day.
Play is serious learning. Our curriculum is built around purposeful, joyful play that develops every key skill.
We follow each child's natural curiosity, building confidence and a lifelong love of learning.
Every child is seen, valued, and celebrated. We nurture empathy, kindness, and strong social bonds.
Art, music, storytelling, and movement are woven into every day — giving every child a voice.
From animals to plants to weather, children learn how the world works by experiencing it firsthand.
At The Chrysalis Early Childhood School, we have created a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where every child is celebrated for who they are. Our forest school philosophy means children spend time outdoors, connect with nature, and develop confidence through real-world experiences.
From our crèche for babies all the way through to primary school — and including our flexible homeschooling support — we provide a continuum of education rooted in joy, curiosity, and excellence.
We welcome children from 6 months through to 11 years — nurturing every child's unique potential within our award-winning forest school environment, with passionate, expert care at every stage of their journey.
Warm, professional, and loving care for your youngest. Our crèche provides a secure attachment environment with qualified caregivers, sensory play, and gentle daily routines.
The magic years! Our pre-nursery is a world of colour, song, sensory play, and discovery. Children build language, social confidence, and early learning foundations in a joyful forest-inspired setting.
Our nursery is where curiosity meets learning. Children develop literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking — while climbing trees, meeting animals, and getting wonderfully muddy in our forest grounds.
Reception is where little learners take their first big steps. Children build school readiness, independence, and early academic confidence in our warm, nurturing forest school setting — growing into bold, curious, and joyful individuals.
Our primary school delivers a world-class, holistic education within our one-of-a-kind forest school environment. Children in Year 1 through Year 6 grow into confident, creative, and academically exceptional individuals — ready for whatever comes next.
Our homeschooling support is designed for families who want the quality of a Chrysalis education — from home. We fill every gap with structured plans, expert guidance, and engaging programmes for ages 2–11.
