In our crèche area, lovingly called our "Nest", we have been creating a safe haven for over 20 years where your baby can make their first discoveries. The environment in our crèches is specially designed so that our youngest children feel comfortable and can develop through play, whilst being individually supported by key workers in small groups.
Particularly important to us is the gentle attunement to each individual child's needs. Whilst your baby explores the world at their own pace, our experienced educators ensure the perfect balance between secure safety and stimulating development – an approach with which we have been building trust with families in our crèches in Zurich & Zug for decades.
Our specially developed Nappy Curriculum© forms the educational heart of our crèche in Zurich and Zug. It is based on the latest scientific insights and combines proven methods from Pikler and Montessori. At the centre is the trusting relationship with key workers, which gives your baby the security they need to explore their environment with curiosity.
The carefully designed rooms of our "Nest" follow our MyWorld© concept and specifically promote the following areas of development:
Diverse materials for touching, feeling and discovering stimulate all your baby's senses.
Through baby sign language, songs and picture books, we lay the foundation for language development and expression.
Stimulating movement activities promote both your child's gross and fine motor skills.
Secure attachments and gentle group experiences strengthen basic trust and emotional stability.
Our Little Star Bottle Bridge© is a unique offering that we have developed with great passion for breastfeeding mothers. As loving experts in caring for the littlest ones, we particularly want to support you and your baby. This way, you can leave your little star with us with a good feeling and be assured: your baby is in the very best hands with us.
Our years of experience have shown us how great the challenges can be for breastfeeding mothers. Especially when the moment comes to return to working life, you face such a personal decision: do you want to continue breastfeeding your child or not? Our empathetic baby specialists at the crèche in Zurich & Zug accompany you through this time and wholeheartedly support your very personal decision – whether that's to breastfeed, provide expressed breast milk or offer formula feeding.
Our MyDay© programme offers your baby a structured yet flexible daily routine that provides security whilst allowing space for individual needs. Here's what a typical day at our crèche might look like:
"We'd like to thank every single member of your team who looked after our son with such warmth and care. We dropped him off with you each day feeling completely at ease, and that peace of mind is absolutely priceless! Thank you for everything!"
"Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for five wonderful years of care for both our children. It wasn't just childcare - it was affection, kindness, security and love. That meant the world to us. We're going to miss you all terribly. We are big fans of Little Star Day School."
"It was an absolute pleasure for our family to bring our daughter and son to Little Star, and they had the most wonderful time there. When our daughter first arrived at Little Star, she was far too shy to speak to anyone. By the time she left, she was chatting away confidently with teachers in both fluent English and German. Our son started when he was just a 10-month-old baby, and when he left at age 4, he'd grown into a bright, confident little boy - completely ready for school. Many thanks for all your brilliant work!"

We offer flexible care models from 2 to 5 days per week. You can choose between part-time and full-time care. Individual care hours are also possible upon request. Our family advisers work with you to create the optimal care model for your family situation.
Our all-inclusive concept includes educational care, all meals (breakfast, lunch, snacks), drinks, nappies, care products and bedding. You only need to bring spare clothes, dummies if needed and special food or breast milk when required. This way we ease your family routine and you can focus on what matters most.
Our unique programme supports breastfeeding mothers through specially trained baby specialists. We accommodate your feeding and nursing rhythm, handle expressed breast milk sensitively and offer spaces for nursing in our crèche when needed. Close communication between you and our carers ensures a gentle transition and continuation of the breastfeeding relationship.
A trusting educational partnership is particularly important to us in crèche care. In addition to daily handover conversations, we document your baby's meals, sleep times and special experiences. Regular development discussions give you insight into your child's progress. Through our digital parent app, you also receive regular photos and updates from daily crèche life.
Even at crèche age, we lay the foundation for natural bilingualism. Following the immersion principle "One Person – One Language", each member of staff consistently speaks in their native language (German or English) with the babies. This way, the littlest ones experience both languages in a natural context and associate them with specific people. Songs, finger games and simple picture books are offered in both languages.
