My Summary
Childminder-Qualified Teacher
About Me
Hi, I'm Iona. As a qualified Assistant Headteacher, I have led Early Years in an Ofsted Outstanding school for 5 yrs. I have 10+ yrs teaching experience, providing inclusive, Montessori inspired practice.
The setting:
A spacious house setting with a separate playroom and sleep room, offering children a home away from home. Located just off Plumstead Common and close to other parks and woodlands, we can often be found searching for mini beasts on Plumstead Common or looking at the pigs or ponies at Maryon Wilson Animal Park. The setting is warm and nurturing, prioritising mental health and emotional well being.

Below are the latest reviews for Totoros. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
My daughter started with Iona in March after having to take her out of another previous setting due to forming anxiety and not settling and from the minute my daughter walked in for her first settling she instantly formed a bond with Iona and we could tell she felt as ease and very comfortable.
My daughter has developed so much since being with her, Iona is really kind and has provided a wonderful, safe and nurturing environment. My daughter has already learnt loads with her through play and fun creative activities and also all the fun outings they do.
I would highly recommend this setting, Iona goes above and beyond to make sure every child’s individual needs are met and takes such pride and care for each child.
