“Observe more, do less, enjoy most.” -Magda Gerber
"If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow. The years of early childhood are the time to prepare the soil"

"I would highly recommend Alex to anybody looking for childminding in the local area. Alex has created a wonderful learning environment in her own home which provides a lovely, warm and creative learning environment for the children. My daughter (21 months) hadn't been with a childminder before we began with Alex so I was initially worried about how she would handle being looked after by anybody but me but it has been seamless from the start. Alex made the whole transition process, easy, tear free and enjoyable! It is wonderful to see my daughter go off happily each morning and I truly know she has fun, is very well taken care of and is learning a lot. I love the updates and pictures Alex provides me of my daughter which again just shows me she is happy learning and exploring. So much thought and attention has been put into the activities Alex puts together based on the age/stage of the child and it really is great to know my daughter is in such great hands when she is at RieMontessori. Thank you Alex for everything you do!"
Laura, Balham "Alex has been our son's child minder for about 4 months and he has absolutely flourished in her care. She is kind, patient, reliable and goes above and beyond for all the children. Our son (and us parents!) have also learned so much from the Montessori method. The location is also beautiful with plenty of room for the children, and she has taken great care to set up each area for the needs of the children at different ages. I'm so happy we found Alex and would recommend her to any parent looking for support with their little ones".
Siena, Balham "Our son started with Alex at 14 months old and it was the best decision we could have made. Alex was the first and only childcare provider we met: after meeting her and seeing how calm and intuitive she was with our son and how positively he responded to her and her wonderful space, we didn’t want to consider anywhere else. He has learnt so much with her in the Montessori environment and genuinely loves going to see her and Miss Jo and his friends each day. I would recommend her to everyone".

"Our son has been attending RIEMontessori with Alex since he was 15 months old. It is a lovely, intimate and caring environment. Alex is trained in Montessori, Pikler and RIE childcare which was important for us in finding someone to care for our son away from us. He loves going to ‘school’ and is happy to say goodbye and is happy when we collect him at the end of the day. Alex prepares and serves delicious a breakfast, lunch and snacks. When he is with Alex we know his physical and emotional needs are being met as we would do ourselves. Cannot recommend Alex enough".
Kirsty, Dulwich "Our daughter came here at about 18 months old. We were nervous about letting her go into child care so early, just after the pandemic and because she has food allergies. Now every morning she gets up and is excited to go and see Alex and “Miss Jo” and all her friends. The care could not have been better, and it’s really nice seeing our child so happy".
Richard, Brixton "Alex is a wonderful child minder who has created a kind, warm, and loving place for children. She cares deeply about her work and I have been extremely happy with the care she has shown my child".
