Hello! I’m Filipa.

Inspired by Rudolf Steiner 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.

I’ve been quiet in here but life has been busy in the nest! 🌈

While the newest little ones are settling in, the older hummingbirds of mine have been fully immersed in their play. It’s been so lovely to watch imaginative and collaborative play begin to blossom! Of course, with all that exploration comes a little extra mess and a touch of wonderful chaos—as you’ll see in some of the photos. We also celebrated the first birthday of the newest hummingbird in the nest! ✨

“Rain, rain, here to stay… and the snails are out to play!” 🐌🌧️
There have been far too many rainy days for my taste this spring, but oh well, it is snail season, and they do love wet, soggy days. My Hummingbirds also love our snail fingerplay and find joy in seeing them creeping along in the garden. I may not be too happy with this weather, but in the end, the little ones find joy in these small things, and I am reminded that I must too.

“The world awakes, a vibrant hue,
With Beltane’s fire, fresh and new.
The spring’s embrace, a gentle sigh,
As summer’s warmth begins to lie.
The Maypole dances, a joyful spin,
As nature’s heart begins to win.
With garlands bright and flowers gay,
We welcome dawn, come what may.”

We started our week celebrating May Day/Beltane making crowns and having a delicious spinach cake that my hummingbirds loved!

🌿✨ Hello everyone! ✨🌿
My little nest currently has a space available, with more opening up from September as the older children spread their wings.

In this nest, little ones grow at their own pace, with gentle rhythms, nourishing meals, free play, baking, songs & puppet stories.
If this feels like the right place for your child – or for a family you know – I’d love to hear from you, or for you to help spread the word!

Warmly, Filipa 🌸

“It’s magic,” one of my hummingbirds started to say while holding the daffodil she had made. 🌼✨
…And suddenly they were all spinning around with their daffodils, shouting “it’s magic.”
It really was magical to watch this moment of their happiness for such a simple thing!

I first came across this song on an Instagram account that is no longer active, so I’m unable to give credit. It was during the Covid period, when so many resources were being shared, and I knew I wanted to save it to sing one day with my Hummingbirds.
It has become a little favourite this month!🌱☀️🌷
