My Summary
About Me
~ Hello, my name is Ila. I am a committed Early Years Educator and Registered Childminder with a rich background of over 17 years in childcare, focusing on the Montessori approach for children from birth to five years old. As a mum of two wonderful children, I bring personal insight and empathy to my role.
~ I pride myself on being compassionate, patient, and dependable, with a deep-seated passion for child development. My love for working with children has always been at the heart of what I do, and I feel privileged to support families in nurturing their children's growth. At Ila's Montessori, I strive to create a nurturing, engaging, and supportive environment where each child can flourish and develop a lifelong love of learning.
~ At Ila’s Montessori, children flourish in a warm and nurturing home-from-home environment, benefiting from plenty of individual attention due to our low adult-to-child ratios. Our daily extracurricular activities include forest and outdoor adventures, farm visits, arts and crafts, sensory play, cooking and physical activities.
~ Settling-In Period at Ila’s Montessori ~
At Ila’s Montessori, we understand that starting nursery is a significant milestone for both children and their families. To ensure a smooth transition, we offer a flexible and supportive settling-in period. During this time, children can gradually adjust to their new environment at their own pace, with parents welcome to stay until their child feels comfortable.

Ilona was just amazing with and for Millie, and for me!
Without Ilona I couldn’t have returned to work as confidently. She was exactly what I was looking for!
Millie was always pleased to see Ilona, reaching out her arms! They always went out in the morning for walks, exploring, playground feeding ducks, rhyme time etc.
The afternoon activities are always interesting and Millie always seemed very engaged and happy. There was lots of variety.
We feel very lucky to have met Ilona- she cooked Millie special nutritious vegan meals (our request!), sent lots of photos throughout the day and responded to Millie’s needs- Adjusting sleep, food and activity schedules as needed day to day and as she got older.
We still meet up now, so our children get to see eachother as they built such a lovely bond. I am grateful for everything she did for us, for being so reliable and engaging and bonding with Millie & building her confidence in those early years.

Ilona is a fantastic childminder who has been looking after our son for 2 years. She takes our 2 year old out every day and always provides another engaging activity in the afternoon too. Ilona sends updates throughout the day of all activities and most importantly, our son is very happy there! He has been really well looked after and is developing well.
