My name is Zdravka Mihaleva. I am a registered childminder and qualified Montessori Early Years Educator. I hold a NCFE CACHE LEVEL 4 Diploma in Montessori Pedagogy – Birth to Seven (Early Years Educator) trained by Montessori Centre International (MCI).
In the heart of Barnet, we have created an active learning environment for 1–5-year-olds. It is complete with airy, spacious setting, a safe and well-equipped garden and an exceptional range of Montessori materials.
Brightside Montessori Childcare is a home, a rocket ship, a boat, a castle, a place filled with fun imagination for our growing learners.
We follow the EYFS curriculum and statutory guidelines with the added benefits of following the Montessori approach to learning and developing. Our approach is child focused and of very high quality.
We encourage children to develop their own sense of responsibility and nature self – esteem and confidence through meaningful activities and interactions.
Our fundamental values encourage:
Independence, Freedom, Respect and Choice.
Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Term time only. Flexible times available with prior arrangement.
We accept Tax-Free Childcare and Grant Funding for eligible 2-year-olds and all 3- and 4-year-olds.
Our teaching, curriculums and care is adaptive and responding to the needs of children which includes providing targeted support to children who are at risk of falling behind. We offer an effective inclusive practice which provides all children with access to opportunities and support during the earliest and most influential years of their learning and growing.
