Charlotte Austen
Head Directress
Charlotte's experience of Montessori philosophy started when she was just two years old and attended a Montessori nursery. She had always intended on opening her own Montessori nursery and so upon leaving sixth form at 18, Charlotte enrolled at Montessori Centre International. She qualified as a Montessori directress in 2006 aged 19 and since then has worked in three very different Montessori nurseries.
Whilst working Charlotte enrolled in an Early Childhood course at London Metropolitan University and soon gained Early Years Professional (EYP) status.
Charlotte is committed to extending her own knowledge and skillset to ensure the children in her care are given the very best start to their education, and is currently in training to become an Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (ELSA).
Dekyi Sherpa
Deputy Directress
Dekyi has been leading with a beautiful, calm nature since 2014, and the children just love to be around her. Dekyi has the utmost respect for the children in her care and devotes herself to their wellbeing, making sure they are happy and content in their environment. Dekyi is also the deputy Safeguarding Lead, 'Talk Boost' lead for those little people who need a bit of extra support with their speech and language, and is our Allergy Awareness Lead.
Elisa Elcomb
Directress
Elisa recently became a qualified Montessori directress, although her experience extends far beyond. Elisa is our lead SENCO, and demonstrates a deep passion for ensuring our little people with additional needs, and their families, are supported with the utmost respect and dignity. Elisa works with compassion and understanding for all the children.
