My introduction to Montessori was 20 years ago, when my first child came to Little Orchard. Several years later I decided to study Montessori by distance learning and also started working at the nursery. I have since gained experience at other pre and primary school settings but I was delighted to return to Montessori when a job became available again at Little Orchard. I really enjoy seeing the children gain in independence and confidence through the Montessori approach.I bring with me a love of the outdoors, in all weathers, whether it’s walking on Dartmoor or the coast path, doing agility with my dog, or helping to maintain our land at home. I also have a real passion for local food and farming!

Julie Miller - Assistant Manager, NVQ3, First Aid, Food and Hygiene, Fire Safety, Safe Guarding Children
I have been married for 20 years and am a mother to 4 lively teenagers. I was born in Tavistock and have always lived in Devon and Cornwall. We settled in Ivybridge 17 years ago but we spend quite a lot of our leisure time in North Cornwall. I am a lover of films, history, reading and am a member of a local book group. As a family we have recently taken on an allotment with mixed success!
I was a civil servant until my own children were all at  school and then I took on voluntary and part time roles at a local primary school. I had the opportunity to come to Little Orchard Montessori in 2006. I truly value working with the children, they are a joy to be with. I feel the Montessori method provides children with the opportunities to develop their independence, to learn about our world and the people in it in a calm, respectful and happy environment.
