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.

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. Continuous training keeps our staff inspired with new methods, games, and creative ways to connect with each child.
