About Me

Hello! I’m Filipa, and I am a mother of two girls aged 5 and 7 years old. Inspired by Rudolf Steiner (founder of Waldorf/Steiner Education) and Emmi Pikler’s insights, I provide a calm, secure and unhurried environment for your child to grow and develop at their own pace while feeling loved, and nurtured.

At Hummingbirds' Nest, our days follow a simple, homely life rhythm, and my role involves tending to your child’s every need with calm and gentle attention. The care moments hold a special place in our daily rhythm as these are precious for building a secure-trusting relationship with your child. I provide a balance of adult-led activities, such as food preparation, baking, cleaning, and singing, alongside opportunities for self-initiated free play.

Based on the principle that children are natural imitators full of curiosity and that they love to be involved in real adult work, I aim to create an atmosphere where children can actively engage in their play or participate in the activities I am doing around them.

My nest is open from Monday to Thursday, 8.30 am to 3 pm and welcomes children from 1 year old up to three and a half years old. Our group consists of a maximum of 4 children and me.

*NOTE: I don't offer school drop-off or pick-up

My Experience

I have around 10 years of experience working with children and young adults with and without SEND in different contexts and roles (kindergarten assistant, Speech and Language Therapist, Support Worker), as well as being a mother of two little girls aged 5 and 7. In February 2021, I registered as a childminder and in September of the same year, I opened my nest.
