About Wetherby House

Our Values

We facilitate an environment where children can develop the important qualities listed below.

  • Resilience

    Creating an environment that encourages children to manage challenges and creatively problem solve. Having a positive attitude to learning and not afraid to try again.

  • Belonging

    Allowing children to identify themselves (the opposite of belonging is “fitting in”). Give them sense of community by celebrating their families culture, religion and beliefs.

  • Confidence

    A space where children find their voice and share it with no obstructions. A place where we celebrate children’s achievements giving the a sense of pride

  • Gratitude

    A child that appreciates the environment, teachers and their peers. A child that demonstrates kindness and care towards everyone and everything.

Meet Shamyka

FOUNDER & DIRECTOR

I started my career in early childhood education over 22 years ago and I was introduced to the Montessori Approach in 2004 by my colleague. I was pregnant with my first son at the the time and it totally changed my life. All I wanted to do was to apply these concepts to my career and my parenting so my son could have a happy, healthy and successful future.

Fast forward to now and we have three busy nurseries in the Wetherby House Montessori Group and I’m still passionate about the Montessori approach. I think the childcare industry has come a long way and parents are wanting a more holistic approach to daycare (especially with technology advancements and screens!).

Now more than ever, it’s important for us to help our children cultivate a sense of curiosity, play and love for learning. If they fall in love with learning, we’ll know we’ve done good in the world!

  • "I cannot thank the team at Wetherby House enough for the foundation they have given my two boys. I have seen them both flourish, excel in ways I did not think was possible and become independent young men.

    The staff are exceptional. Their caring nature, attention to detail and their willingness to involve themselves and the family in every part of a child’s development is to applaud.”

    Shivane, Mother of Aaryan and Yuvan

  • "I have had 2 kids go through Wetherby House Montessori. They are taught the best of manners, outstanding vocabulary and their depth of learning using music, play, drama etc is so rounded.

    From the very first time we stepped into the Harrow nursery, it just felt right. Small things, the way it looked, how homely it was, all the staff were smiling, the attention to detail.”

    Nimesh , Father of Ella and Ayaan
