Services
We are a close-knit team of professionals (more like family really!) who share a common love of children and a belief in giving them a magical beginning to their formal educational journey. We are passionate about what we do. We believe that there is no cookie cutter formula for shaping young hearts and minds.
At Chiselhurst we foster a "culture of respect" - respect for ourselves, each other and respect and care for the environment. Our approach considers each child's strengths and recognises and respects individual styles of learning and teaching.
We also respect the fact that each child that comes to Chiselhurst is not a "blank slate" but are "complex persons who arrive already connected to families, communities, and cultures - environments where they have done an awful lot of learning before they set foot through the door" (Christakis, E. 2016, The Importance of Being Little).Chiselhurst promotes learning, caring relationships and positive self-concept.

This place is amazing! The only kindy you'd want your child to go to. My son first went to another kindy and he was traumatized. He started suffering anxiety and he was 4! So I pulled him out and started searching for a new Kindy. It was at this time I discovered chiselhurst. The love and commitment that the staff have is beyond words. They do so many activities giving the children wonderful opportunities to grow. Within a few weeks my son was loving this place. I am so thankful the staff have been so supportive and now have given my son a positive outlook to learning. I wish it was a primary school
