About Me
Nurturing Minds, Shaping Futures
Hello, I’m Hayley Jones, founder and registered childminder at Montessori Genius.
Montessori Genius is a family-run bilingual childcare setting created from a simple belief: every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and supported to reach their full potential.
Inspired by our family’s search for high-quality childcare, we created the kind of environment we would have wanted for our own family a warm, home-away-from-home setting where children are known as individuals, encouraged to become confident and independent, and supported to thrive at their own pace.
At Montessori Genius, we combine high-quality childcare with authentic Montessori principles, helping children develop independence, curiosity, soft rapport building skills, creativity, emotional intelligence, and a lifelong love of learning. Through carefully prepared activities, hands-on experiences, outdoor play, and meaningful everyday routines, children are encouraged to learn naturally through exploration and discovery.
As the registered childminder, I am responsible for the day-to-day care, wellbeing, and development of the children in my setting. I have completed EYFS training and am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, inclusive, and stimulating environment where every child feels respected, supported, and encouraged to succeed.
Our setting also benefits from the guidance of a qualified AMI Montessori educator with over 10 years of experience supporting children and families within Brent’s education sector. Together, we carefully plan enriching learning opportunities that support each child’s unique interests, abilities, and stage of development.
We provide a bilingual English and Spanish environment and are passionate about helping children build strong communication skills, confidence, independence, and meaningful relationships. In a world increasingly centred around screens, we believe children benefit from real conversations, hands-on experiences, problem-solving, creativity, and opportunities to develop the social skills that will support them throughout life.
Above all, our goal is simple: to provide exceptional childcare in a place where children feel happy, secure, and at home, while parents feel supported and confident that their child is receiving the care, attention, and encouragement they deserve every day.
My Experience
Working with children has taught me that the most important part of childcare isn't simply keeping children occupied it's helping them feel safe, understood, and confident enough to explore the world around them.
Through caring for children of different ages and personalities, I have seen how much children thrive when they are given time, patience, encouragement, and opportunities to learn through real-life experiences. Whether it's helping a child build confidence speaking to others, supporting their independence, or simply being a consistent and reassuring presence in their day, I believe the small moments often have the biggest impact.
At Montessori Genius, I encourage children to learn through hands-on experiences, practical life activities, creative play, outdoor exploration, conversation, and child-led discovery. I enjoy helping children develop confidence, communication skills, emotional awareness, problem-solving abilities, and independence in ways that feel natural and enjoyable.
Because every family is different, I also understand the importance of flexibility.
Alongside daytime childcare, I support families with school holidays, school collections, evenings, overnight care, and emergency childcare when additional support is needed.
What I enjoy most about working with children is watching their confidence grow whether that's seeing a shy child make a new friend, a toddler master a new skill independently, or a child proudly achieve something they once thought they couldn't do.
My goal is always to create a warm, supportive environment where children feel secure enough to be themselves and confident enough to grow.

My daughter has stayed overnight at Montessori Genius several times, and the experience has always been fantastic. She feels safe, happy, and comfortable, and I have complete peace of mind knowing she is being cared for by such kind and professional people. The setting is nurturing, communication is excellent, and my daughter always comes home smiling. I highly recommend Montessori Genius for overnight childcare.
