Hi, my name is Mavis, I run Hounslow Montessori Daycare from home. I am a loving and caring mother with lots more to give.
It is my passion to work with children and extend my love and care over each child I meet. I have a dedicated playroom, a garden and a park behind the property all risk assessed for your children to enjoy. Your child will come and learn through play following the EYFS (early years foundation stage) with progress checks along the way just like in a nursery setting.
The benefit of using a childminder is that the ratio is small so there is more time for each child, where children's individual needs can be met. I have a wide range of qualifications which are uploaded here on my profile.
Hope to hear from you soon! Contact me for more details.
My Experience
My setting has been open since November 2022, and I bring over 25 years of experience working with children of all ages. As a self-employed, Ofsted-registered childminder, I run my setting as a professional childcare business, providing a reliable, high-quality service that families can trust.
I am an early years educator who follows both Montessori principles and the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), supporting children to learn through play, exploration, and independence while meeting all required developmental milestones.
I hold a wide range of relevant qualifications, including:
* Childcare Diploma
* BA (Hons) in Child Psychology
* Paediatric First Aid
* Safeguarding Training
* Autism Awareness
* Food Hygiene
I am committed to maintaining the highest standards of care and continuously update my training to stay current with best practices in early years education.
Working with children is truly my passion—it’s something I have always loved, and I feel fortunate to turn that passion into my career. I care about every child in my setting and always strive to support them to the best of my ability.
I am here to support both you and your child, so please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.

Mavis is an exceptional childminder. She has been looking after my two children for the past two years, and all I can say is thank you. Throughout this time, she has been incredibly reliable, caring, and nurturing.
Mavis always goes the extra mile to ensure that the children are well cared for, happy, and supported. Whenever I’m at work or away from home and my children are in her care, I have complete peace of mind knowing they are safe and being looked after to the highest standard.
I have never had any issues with Mavis. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine love for the children she cares for are evident in everything she does. My children have thrived under her care, and I am truly grateful for all the support she has given our family.
If you are looking for a reliable, caring, and nurturing childminder, I would highly recommend Mavis without hesitation.

Starting childcare for my 13-month-old was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Mavis is a gentle, kind, and amazing childminder. Who provides a warm, safe, and nurturing environment for the children in her care.
Since starting with Mavis, my child has grown in confidence and is always happy to be there. Mavis keeps me updated throughout the day, and her communication is excellent. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about every child and their development.
I have complete peace of mind knowing my child is in such capable hands. I highly recommend Mavis to any parent looking for outstanding childcare.

My son has been going to Mavis since he was 19 months old, and he is now five years old and still attends after school. From day one, Mavis has been absolutely amazing.
She has cared for him with so much love, patience, and dedication that my son sometimes says Mavis is his second mum. He feels completely at home when he is with her, and that means everything to me as a parent. Over the years, she has played such an important role in raising him, supporting his development, and giving him a safe, happy, and nurturing environment.
My son has also had overnight care with Mavis, and the level of trust we have in her is incredible. Her care truly goes above and beyond, and I have always felt confident that he is in the best hands.
Her charges are very fair for the exceptional care she provides. I am extremely grateful for everything she has done for our family, and I wish her all the very best as she continues to grow and become even more successful.

My son has been with Mavis the from the age 1 and I found Mavis to be very professional. She does alot of interactive activities with the kids , takes a them on outings and gives me updates on sons development.Most importantly she treats all her children in her care as her own and I know my child is safe and well looked after. Mavis is a childminder that doenst stop caring for you child at 6pm but she checks in on there wellbeing if they are unwell etc.
