Employer Description:Bodhi Tree Nursery was born in 2010, sparked by the vision of a passionate statistics student from Italy who followed her childhood dream of working with children. Her love for art, yoga, and early education led her to become a certified Montessori teacher. Along the way, she crossed paths with a like-minded new mother, a former lawyer and entrepreneur with a deep love for real, wholesome food, especially when crafted to delight little ones.Together, they discovered a shared passion for simplicity, mindfulness, and vital nutrition, elements that inspired the creation of Bodhi Tree, a nursery rooted in “old school” values with a fresh and nurturing twist.
At Bodhi Tree, we follow the mainstream Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, enriched with Montessori philosophy, Forest School principles, and mindful practices. Each child is supported on an individual level, ensuring that both their emotional and educational needs are met with care and intention.
Giulia Bonavero, our Founder and Head Teacher, brings a wealth of international experience from nurseries and youth programs across London, Italy, and France. A certified Montessori teacher, she leads with warmth, creativity, and a deep understanding of diverse educational approaches.
Avital Mediony, General Manager and devoted mother, is the heart behind our operations. She oversees the nursery’s marketing, client care, and food philosophy—ensuring every detail reflects the values we hold dear. Her own son attended the nursery, giving her a deeply personal connection to its evolution and success.
Our team of up to four dedicated teachers ensures a high adult-to-child ratio, fostering hands-on engagement and attentive care. Each member is chosen not only for their professionalism but also for their passion, warmth, and ability to bring something unique to the nursery.

Built in 1871 this stunning and unique building provides our children with ample space and opportunity to spend their most formative years.
There are 7 classrooms tailored to specific age groups, all of which have beautiful large windows flooding the rooms with natural sunlight. We have created an environment that is bright and stimulating whilst also warm and cosy for the children to feel comfortable and secure.
DEDICATED SPACES
Mini Kitchen – Our aspiring chefs have access to a custom child-height kitchen for cooking and baking activities within our beautiful conservatory.
Life Sciences – Also housed in our conservatory, our miniature scientists have opportunities to bring the outside in and explore scientific concepts in a fun and engaging way.
Art Atelier – The Reggio approach highlights the environment as the third teacher and our dedicated Art Room is evidence of this. The space is bright and allows children to feel inspired, use box modelling and recycled materials to express themselves through art and design.
Dedicated Library – We love books at Puddle Jumpers! Our bespoke reading nooks encourage children to spend some quiet time with their parents or staff devouring pages of our favourite children’s books that can also be borrowed to read at home.
GARDEN AND OUTDOOR LEARNING
Our large outdoor space has been designed to stimulate physical play and provide children with ample opportunities to learn about nature. The garden is designed as two distinct areas reflecting the different areas of learning and development – everything from learning to nurture plants in our raised growing beds, make ‘chocolate cupcakes’ in the mud kitchen, have fun with water pumps, find insects in our bug hotel, or get physical on our bespoke climbing structure and tricycle track followed by some quiet time in our sheltered seating area.
Our Forest School curriculum is delivered in local green spaces including Wapping Green, Wapping Gardens and Waterside Gardens, all a short walk away.
