I owned and ran two private Montessori Schools in Central London from 1996-2008 (both became Ofsted Outstanding), before becoming a Primary School Teacher and eventually Head Teacher (also Ofsted Outstanding). I supported a school to become the first state funded Montessori School in London (also Ofsted outstanding) and won a National award called 'Montessorian Practitioner of the Year' 2014. I wanted to return to the private sector when my children became old enough and I opened Lollipops Day Nursery and Montessori Room on 1st June 2020.
