Opening Wetherby House Montessori has been the culmination of a life-long dream. My passion for childcare started in my teen years, when my own journey as an educator began. Over the years, my experience and understanding of children and early education has grown to allow me facilitate the very best for the children in my setting. I aim to continue my growth and learning as a practitioner and learn from the children every day!

I have been with Wetherby House since its inception in 2012, having gained my Montessori Diploma, for children aged three to six, in South Africa in 2009. I have subsequently completed Montessori training for children up to the age of three. I am currently Regional Manager, utilising my skills to quality assess all of the Wetherby House settings. I am also Safeguarding lead for the settings, ensuring that all of our children are safe.

I have worked in early year for 17 years and have been in management for 5 years. I joined Wetherby House Montessori in 2023. I have a strong passion for Early Years Education and the Montessori Method, and my vision is to ensure the children in our care are nurtured and supported as they become independent in their learning. I hope to use my experience to embed our ethos into our setting to ensure continued outstanding practice.

We love Edmund!
