My Summary
About Me
My name is Miss Alex (or Alexandra), I am a Montessori Early Years Educator (birth to seven years old), Qualified Teacher and training as a Pikler pedagogue following the RIE- Resources for Infant Educarers approach.
Children’s natural curiosity to learn about everything can easily be nurtured and supported in a Montessori environment. I always strive to provide the best quality environment and educational materials for your child with a varied curriculum and always fun filled!
I really look forward to nurturing your children to grow and develop in a warm atmosphere, allowing them to develop freely and showing respect and appreciation.
My Experience
My childcare experience started as an Au pair for a family with 2 children in the U.S. for the duration of 1 year. I have worked as a Preschool Teacher at Le Nid Childcare (Dulwich), as a Nursery Practitioner at Montessori on the Park ( in the baby classroom and later in the toddler classroom) and I have been a Montessori Teacher at Rainbow Montessori School for 2 years. Following my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) training I have taken a 3 month teaching English in Vietnam internship, where I was teaching Primary school children.
Following my passion for early years education and love of creating beautiful environments for children I have set up RieMontessori at my home and decided to dedicate myself to childminding. As a childminder I cared for a group of 6 children under the age of 4, with the help of one assistant. I have provided home cooked meals and I am an advocate of healthy eating and cooking fro scratch.

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.

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!
