My Summary
About Me
I am Bhavana an Ofsted registered childminder with over 20 years of experience in the childcare industry. I have worked in various private nurseries around London. My last role prior to becoming a childminder was Deputy Manager and room leader. I hold a B.A. in Early Years Degree (level 6) alongside a Montessori Diploma.
At Crayon we endeavour to provide a warm, caring and stimulating environment for each child to reach their full potential. Our curriculum is a great blend of EYFS and Montessori which is holistic. Each child is unique and thus our approach is to guide and support their natural curiosity.
There are two dedicated rooms, an exclusive toilet alongside a large garden giving a nursery vibe.

Bhavana runs a wonderfully stimulating, loving and well organised purpose built childcare setting. We moved here from a standard nursery while looking for a more gentle parenting style of care where my little one's individual needs and development style would be better met and this meets all of that and more. I felt instantly at ease leaving my little one here and due to the attentive care and exciting routines, she settled in very well and is so happy here. They even manage to get her to have a nap! I always feel well informed and get regular picture updates of my daughter doing the most well thought out, creative and stimulating activities which she loves telling me about when she gets home. Lunch is yummy, healthy and well varied. They've been very supportive with toilet training as well which is so reassuring. I cannot recommend Crayon Montessori enough, they are outstanding in all areas. I am so grateful we found them.

I fell so lucky to have found Bhavana.
She has a vast knowledge of child development and a caring and loving nature.
My son settled in so easily and improved his communication skills, fine motor skills, and confidence. Bhavana provides a variety of activities that are fun and stimulating. My son loves her food as well.
I feel very comfortable leaving my son there and Bhavana communication with parents is excellent.
Highly recommend!
