My Summary
About Me
My name is Sophie, I am currently awaiting an Ofsted inspection on 26th March to officially open my childminding setting named: Roots and Wings Montessori Play with Sophie. I am based in Cheadle Hulme on Turves Road, I will be open Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm. I have space for 2 children.
I am passionate about creating a warm and engaging space for children to flourish. As a qualified Montessori early years practitioner, I incorporate principles of independence, respect, and curiosity into every part of the day. I am also a certified children’s yoga instructor and a baby sign language instructor, which allows me to support children’s physical well-being, mindfulness, and early communication skills in fun and meaningful ways.
My Experience
My journey into childminding began with a deep love for nature, outdoor play, and the Montessori philosophy, which emphasizes independence, respect, and hands-on learning. I have had the privilege of working in Montessori nurseries, gaining experience with children across various age groups, from babies to preschoolers. During my time in these settings, I developed a deep understanding of how to nurture children’s unique potential, supporting their growth and independence at every stage of development.
In addition to my nursery experience, I have worked as a Montessori nanny for two wonderful families. This role allowed me to provide personalised care and learning opportunities in a home environment, fostering strong bonds with the children and tailoring activities to suit their individual interests and needs.
While I have cherished my time as both a nanny and a nursery practitioner, becoming a parent has inspired me to embark on a new journey. With all the knowledge and experience I’ve gathered over the years, I have decided to create my own home-based Montessori setting. This allows me to provide the same enriching and nurturing environment I’ve offered to other families while balancing the needs of my own child. I am excited to welcome other children into this space, where they can explore, learn, and grow in a calm and inspiring environment designed just for them.
Our child, Aiden, joined our family in June 2024 and has brought so much joy into our lives. Watching him grow and explore the world has deepened my passion for early childhood development and inspired me to create a Montessori setting that blends my professional expertise with the nurturing, home-centered approach I now value so deeply.
I look forward to getting to know you and your family, and I’m excited to be part of your child’s early learning journey. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to arrange a visit—I’d love to show you around.
Warm regards,
Sophie Wild
