🌱 New Montessori Nursery Opening in Fiveways, Brighton 🌱
Hello everyone,
My name is Roxana, and I’m excited to share the opening of our micro Montessori nursery in Fiveways.
This has been my dream for over 10 years, starting with my Montessori Diploma and continuing through my BA in Early Childhood (Graduate Practitioner). I’ll be working alongside a fellow graduate Montessori guide to offer a bespoke Montessori programme for children aged 2–5.
We will welcome just 6 children, Monday–Thursday, allowing for a calm, nurturing, and highly individualised environment.
✨ Viewings will be available in February, Mondays and Tuesdays and spaces are very limited.

Warmly,
Roxana 🌿

We’re thrilled to share that our long-awaited Ofsted registration visit is complete, and our certificate will be arriving any day now!

Even more special — this happened on the anniversary of Montessori opening the first Casa dei Bambini in Rome. A perfect coincidence as we begin our own Montessori journey.

Dear Parents,
We are excited to welcome our first visitors to our soon- to -open home based Montessori Micro Nursery.
It has been a dream for both myself and my colleague, both Graduate Early Years Practitioners, with a passion for the Montessori approach.
Our space is lovingly prepared for children aged 2 - 5 with their unique interests in mind, indoors and outdoors, having in mind their holistic development- from emotional wellbeing- to nutritional needs - to creative and cognitive development.
Chrysalis Montessori has started its journey with a Parent / Infant and Child group and developed independently into a home based setting offering Montessori Education Monday- Thursday from 9am- 4pm term time only.
If you are interested in a private tour this month , please contact me directly- my details are below.

Dear Parents,
Thank you so much for the positive response to my previous post. I truly appreciate your encouragement and kind words.
I wanted to share a few thoughts about Chrysalis—how it began and our hopes for its future.
When my son was nine months old, I wanted him to experience being part of a community while still under my care. From that wish, I created a Montessori parent, infant, and toddler space—one rooted in connection, observation, and shared experience.
Chrysalis was very much a project of the heart. It was supported by other passionate Montessori practitioners who were keen to explore the power of high-quality early years practice beyond the classroom. It is something that will always be dear to me, as it offered profound insight into how families connect with one another and how a small, intentional community can have a meaningful impact on people’s lives.
This experience inspired me to embark on a BA programme and to conduct my final research project on the impact of guided observation within a Montessori community.
At present, my dream is to create the space and time for people to continue connecting. I call it a dream for now, because a community is not something that can be fully planned or predicted. It arises organically when the ground is carefully prepared. It comes alive through a shared vision—held and nurtured by a group of people.
In January, we will be holding private viewings for families who would like to see the space and learn more about the vision behind Chrysalis.

Dear Parents,
I am Roxana and I will soon be opening the doors to a micro Montessori nursery in Fiveways, Brighton.

This has been my dream for over 10 years when I started my Montessori Diploma.

I have since dedicated my energy to learning more about early childhood and gained a BA (Graduate Practitioner).

I will be working with my colleague who is also a graduate Montessori guide in delivering a bespoke programme for children aged 2 - 5 years old.

We only have 6 children from Monday- Thursday so spaces are limited.

We will be welcoming viewings in January for those interested.

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.

The question of creativity in Montessori environments has been a bit of an obsession of mine.
I was lucky to be reminded of this by one of our parent visitors lately and I managed to find a blog I had written a little while ago.
