About Me

I am a passionate and experienced early years educator offering a nurturing, home-from-home environment where children can thrive through real-life experiences and meaningful play. I draw inspiration from various approaches such as Montessori, Wanderlust, and Curiosity. I believe in following each child's natural rhythm and interests, supporting them to become confident, independent learners.

Our days are filled with hands-on opportunities to explore the world around us, whether it's baking, gardening, nature walks, or open-ended play with natural resources. I create a calm, respectful atmosphere where children are encouraged to ask questions, investigate, and connect deeply with the world, fostering a lifelong love of learning.

I am committed to building strong, secure attachments and offering an enriching early childhood experience that lays the foundations for happy, resilient futures.

My Experience

With over 30 years of experience in education, I have dedicated the majority of my career to leadership roles within Early Years settings, where I’ve had the privilege of shaping high-quality learning environments and supporting young children’s development. In addition to my managerial background, I’ve also worked as a Learning Support Assistant in primary schools, collaborating closely with a range of specialist SEN agencies to support children with diverse needs. My qualifications include an International Diploma in Montessori Pedagogy and a BA (Hons) in Professional Practice in Early Years, both of which underpin my reflective, child-centred approach and my commitment to fostering confident, capable, and curious learners.

My Qualifications

BA (Hons) in Professional Practice in Early Years
International Diploma in Montessori Pedagogy

Our son adored Leah!

5 stars

Leah looked after our 18 month old son and he absolutely adored her! She was really warm and nurturing and she took her time to get to know him to help him settle.
