    An environment designed for discovery and well-being

    Our nurseries sit in complementary settings, giving every child rich, varied experiences suited to their development.

    Kockelscheuer

    A privileged natural setting

    Our two houses in Kockelscheuer enjoy an exceptional setting, where nature plays a central role in the children's daily life.

    Children benefit from a large, secure outdoor area where they can play freely, explore and develop their motor skills in the fresh air. The animals and the vegetable garden are genuine teaching tools.

    This unique setting offers a real sense of countryside while remaining right next to the city.

    Differdange

    A place to thrive in the heart of the town

    Our Differdange nursery is ideally located in the town centre, offering direct access to town life within a secure setting suited to young children.

    The building stands out for the richness of its outdoor spaces — each floor of the house has its own outdoor area, three distinct zones that offer varied experiences throughout the day.

    Added to this is the immediate proximity of the municipal park, a natural extension of the nursery.

    Structured learning spaces for 2 to 4 year olds

    For children aged 2 to 4, the activity rooms are organised around specific themes. In line with the national framework for early childhood education and care, these themed environments encourage independence, curiosity, experimentation and learning through play.

    Group organisation designed around each child

    Age grouping meets developmental needs while respecting each child's individuality.

    At Kockelscheuer

    Two complementary houses.

    Under-2s nursery: 3 groups

    • Babies (2 to 12 months)
    • Toddlers (12 to 18 months)
    • Older toddlers (18 to 24 months)

    Nursery 2 to 4 years

    2 groups for a gradual transition towards greater independence.

    At Differdange

    3 evolving groups.

    • Babies and toddlers (2 to 18 months)
    • Toddlers and older children (12 to 30 months)
    • Older children (2 to 4 years)

    A flexible set-up, adjusted to overall development rather than strict age.

    An individual and evolving approach

    Moving from one group to another does not depend on age alone. If a child shows signs of rapid development, they can join the next group earlier. Conversely, if they need more time, we keep them in their current group for emotional security and stability.

    « Je recommande cette crèche les yeux fermés ! C'est un véritable cocon de confiance où les enfants s'épanouissent chaque jour. Les activités proposées sont variées, ludiques et parfaitement adaptées, au point que chaque journée ressemble à un petit parc d'attractions pour les tout-petits 😊 »

    Pierre BrzozowskiGoogle

    « Une excellente crèche en qui j'ai vraiment confiance ! J'ai eu mon grand garçon chez eux, mon petit de 2 ans y est, et le troisième est déjà inscrit. Les éducateurs sont passionnés, il y a des poules, des lapins et un jardin énorme. Les enfants sont beaucoup dans la nature. »

    Doro LehnersGoogle

    « Mon fils de 20 mois est dans cette crèche et je ne peux que la recommander. Le personnel est agréable et bienveillant, les activités sont nombreuses. Quel bonheur de voir son enfant heureux en arrivant et de le savoir épanoui au contact de la nature ! »

    « Amazing crèche close to nature with fun & creative activities for the kids, with friendly, caring staff. When I asked about the pedagogy, the answer was "it's a family crèche", and indeed a big happy family is what matters most at this stage. »
