My Summary
Where Little Minds Grow, Confidence Blossoms And Every Child Matters ~ Bambini Montessori
About Me
Welcome to Bambini Montessori Childcare
A nurturing home-from-home environment where little minds grow.
At Bambini Montessori Childcare, we combine the warmth of a home-based setting with the structure and learning experiences of a nursery. We are an Ofsted-registered childcare setting in Luton, providing a safe, caring and stimulating environment for babies from 9 months through to toddlers, pre-schoolers and older children.
Our approach brings together the Montessori Method and the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), encouraging children to explore, discover, develop independence and learn through meaningful play.
Every child is welcomed as an individual. Each is allocated a dedicated key person who supports their wellbeing and development, maintains their learning journal and shares regular updates with parents. We value strong partnerships with families and believe that working together gives every child the best foundation for their early years.
Our Rooms
The Bambini Room – Babies and Toddlers
A warm, cosy and homely space where our youngest children can feel safe, loved and supported. We provide age-appropriate activities and attentive care, while keeping parents informed about their child's daily experiences, wellbeing and development through an online communication platform.
The Piccolo Room – Toddlers and Pre-schoolers
A lively, engaging environment where children learn through movement, exploration and imaginative play. Activities are thoughtfully planned to develop confidence, communication, coordination and social skills, while encouraging curiosity and independence.
The Bambi Room – Pre-school and Older Children
A stimulating learning environment that encourages children to become confident, independent and enthusiastic learners. Through the Montessori approach, children explore practical life skills, early reading and writing, mathematics, creative arts, science and understanding the world.
Learning Through Play
We believe children learn best when they feel happy, secure and free to explore. Our daily routines incorporate all seven areas of the EYFS, enriched by Montessori principles and opportunities for child-led discovery.
Children enjoy a balance of purposeful activities, independent exploration and guided learning, alongside physical activities such as yoga, dance, drama and movement.
With a carefully prepared environment, supportive guidance and plenty of opportunities to discover new interests, we nurture each child's confidence, creativity and love of learning.
At Bambini Montessori Childcare, every little step is a big part of their journey.
My Experience
Meet the Owner
A passion for nurturing, teaching and helping little minds flourish.
I am passionate about creating an inviting, caring and nurturing environment where babies and young children feel safe, valued and encouraged to reach their full potential.
Alongside my work in childcare, I teach dance and yoga, supporting both children and adults to develop physical confidence, self-esteem and wellbeing. I also love singing and travelling, and enjoy bringing creativity, movement and a sense of discovery into everyday life. As a proud mum of three, I understand the importance of finding a childcare setting where children are genuinely cared for and parents feel reassured.
My Professional Experience
I have previously owned and managed a Montessori day nursery, gaining extensive experience working with babies, toddlers and pre-school children. My responsibilities included:
Early Years Development: Supporting children's learning through observations, assessments and EYFS tracking, identifying individual needs and helping children work towards their Early Learning Goals.
Montessori Environments: Creating and maintaining stimulating, age-appropriate learning environments for babies, toddlers and pre-school children.
Special Educational Needs: Working as a Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo), supporting children with additional needs and liaising with parents and external professionals, including speech and language services.
Safeguarding and Child Protection: Serving as the setting's Child Protection Officer, with training and experience in safeguarding procedures, safer recruitment, recognising signs of concern and responding appropriately to disclosures.
Leadership and Staff Development: Managing staff, supporting safer recruitment practices and delivering in-house training on Early Years practice, safeguarding, health and safety and policy updates.
Parent Partnerships: Building positive relationships with families through open communication, parent education and Stay and Play sessions.
I also have experience working with families requiring additional support, including children identified as being in need, and understand the importance of working collaboratively with other professionals to promote positive outcomes.
My Commitment to Your Child
My experience has given me a strong understanding of the importance of combining high-quality care with purposeful learning. I am committed to following the Montessori Method and EYFS framework, maintaining a safe and stimulating environment, and working closely with parents to support every child's individual journey.
I believe every child deserves to feel secure, confident, respected and celebrated.
A little care, a little discovery and a whole lot of love — helping every child flourish.

My Son has really enjoyed his time at Bambini Montessori, and I’ve been very happy with our experience. The staff have always been lovely, caring and welcoming, and I’ve felt reassured knowing that Esteban is being well looked after while he’s there.
I’ve also noticed a lovely difference in My Son's since attending, particularly with his confidence, independence and interaction with other children. It’s been really nice seeing him develop and learn new things in such a positive environment.
Thank you to the whole Bambini Montessori team for all the care and effort you put into looking after him. I would definitely recommend Bambini Montessori to other parents❤️

We are so grateful to Miss Priya and the team at Bambini Montessori Luton! Since Ayan started attending, his English has improved so much, and he is always excited and happy to go there every day. He loves taking part in all the different activities, and it’s amazing to see how much he is learning while also having fun.
The environment is always very clean, warm, and friendly, which makes us feel comfortable and confident leaving Ayan there. Miss Priya is caring, supportive, and truly dedicated to the children. We are very happy with everything and would highly recommend Bambini Montessori Luton to any parent looking for a lovely and nurturing place for their child.

As parents, we want the best for our 24 months daughter and to find someone to look after her the way we molded her and align to our montessori way. Because we want to train first our daughter independence and confidence, lifelong love of learning and holistic growth. We are really keen not just with the cleanliness of the environment and set up, but also avoiding the use of too much screen. We had a hard time looking for a montessori place in the area as it’s rare to find. We prayed for guidance, then surprisingly when we’re browsing over the childcare website we saw Bambini Montessori Childcare. We immediately sent a message and Priya was so lovely to send a response. From initial conversation we had, I was really impress as she value confidentiality and privacy. When we visited the area, I was impress with the set up and felt that my daughter will easily settle as it’s almost similar to her play area at home. Priya was very professional and helpful from the beginning we decided that Bambini Motessori is the right place for our daughter.
Our daughter’s first week were really nerve wracking for me as a mom, because it’s our first time to leave her and for her not to see any of us around for longer hours. But Priya and her team were so kind to reassure us our daughter is okay by giving us updates and feedbacks and also sending us our daughter’s photos and videos ( which for me were really precious as I can still monitor her milestone even if I’m not beside her). I also love how Priya and her team settle my daughter everytime we leave her without any screen involve, which for me is very important because I prefer interaction rather than screen. Also, Priya was so hands on in working hand in hand with us for our daughter’s development which I greatly appreciate. Also, Priya is so considerate and understanding regarding the schedule of our daughter, which also help my mental health specially on days I really miss my daughter.
As a mum who love and a silent advocate of Montessori Learning, I will definitely recommend Priya’s Bambini Montessori.

I have been very impressed and pleased with the care provided by Priya and the team here, for my 10 month old baby boy. We joined on a part time basis to begin and he has settled in within a week. He seems very confident in socializing and building new relationships with different people. The setting itself is perfect for my baby, lots of educational and stimulating toys. I would definitely recommend Bambini Montessori to other parents.

We’ve been really pleased with Bambini Montessori Childcare. Our two daughters joined recently, and the staff have been so warm, patient, and supportive in helping them settle. Our toddler quickly joined in with the activities and comes home talking about her day, while our baby is gently supported as she adjusts to the new environment. The team communicates clearly with us, and we always feel reassured that our children are in safe and caring hands. Thank you to Priya and her team for creating such a positive setting.

If you're a Montessori parent or guardian this is the right setting for you. My boy has been in their care since he is 9 months old on a part-time basis and his development has been incredible. Numeracy, language, gross motor skills and supporting emotional development has been always at the forefront. Promoting independence and creativity with extreme care on risk assessment/safeguarding for all children involved. They are also great in cooperating and communicating with parents so we are kept informed and at peace. Could not recommend more :)

We’ve been so impressed with Bambini Montessori since our daughter started in September. The Montessori-inspired environment is calm, nurturing, and engaging, and it’s been wonderful to see her growing in confidence and independence in just a few months.
Priya is attentive, caring, and keeps us well-informed with regular updates about our daughter’s activities and progress. We’re thrilled with how much she’s enjoying her time there and would highly recommend Bambini Montessori to any parent.

My son who is 11 months old has only been with Bambini Montessori for a few weeks now. I must say he has settled in so so well! I think this is down to Priya creating a lovely warm & welcoming environment for the children. I love all the learning activities and the whole
Montessori ethos.
Priya takes the time to observe & get to know your child's personality and provides excellent care around your child's individual needs. Priya updates you regularly sharing your child's progress through out the day and communication is fantastic!
So happy we chose Bambini Montessori!

My son has recently started at Bambini with the lovely Priya and her team.
Before sending him, I did my own research through this profile of hers. Which as you can see is very informative! She is extremely knowledgeable and her passion for her work is shown the moment you meet her.
The Bambini setting is so clean, with so much to do! My son’s favourite thing to do is play outside, she has a lovely outdoor garden with lots of engaging activities for children.
It can be hard on both the child and parent when leaving a child, however, Priya kept me informed at all times. What he’s eaten, nappy changes and lovely pictures throughout the day of the activities he was doing.
I am extremely excited to see how much more my son will learn from Priya and her team.

As a parent, choosing the right childcare for my children is a huge challenge. My experience with Bambini Montessori childcare has been overwhelmingly positive. From the moment we stepped into the Bambini room we were struck by the calm, purposeful atmosphere. My children are deeply engaged in activities, independently exploring, and interacting with each other in a respectful and collaborative way.
Priya's montessori approach is something she actually practises not like just some theory. My children have been emphasized hands-on learning through carefully designed materials, allowing them to learn at their own pace and discover their individual strengths.
Priya is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, providing individualized attention and support while fostering a love of learning.
She is pointing out what my children are good at and what will be the next learning step for them. My doughter is a little challeng for her( and for me) like the initial adjustment period where Priya have come to an extra mile, to ease that to everybody.
I am confident that my children are receiving a high-quality time in Priyas childcare. I wish every parents has this nurturing and enriching environment for their child(children)
Higly recommend Priya's Bambini Montessori childcare.
