About Me

Maria's Cuddly Pandas– A Home Where Curiosity Leads the Way
Inspired by Montessori. Rooted in Reggio. Guided by Curiosity.

Welcome to a unique home-based setting where children are seen as capable, curious, and full of potential. Here, we slow down, look deeper, and follow the spark in every child’s eye.

I’m a passionate Ofsted-registered childminder supporting early years development. My setting is a peaceful, culturally rich space inspired by Montessori independence, Reggio creativity, and the wonder-filled Curiosity Approach. I am able to provide bilingual care in Romanian and English, with playful introductions to Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic and more, nurturing not only open minds but open hearts.

In our home, children are not just cared for—they’re known.Each day is filled with meaningful, open-ended experiences, natural beauty, and joyful discovery. Our space is designed to inspire awe, encourage deep focus, and celebrate each child’s unique rhythm.


I observe and document each child’s journey through photos, learning journals, and meaningful conversations with you, the parents—because partnership is key in helping your child thrive.

If you're seeking a nurturing, multilingual environment where your child can explore, express, and grow with confidence, curiosity, and care, I’d be honoured to welcome you.

Message me to arrange a visit. Let’s share a cup of tea and talk about the childhood you imagine for your little one—and how Maria's Cuddly Pandas can help bring it to life.
