Our Story from Lara Ritson (founder):

I first began the Peaceful Learning journey about six years ago. I thought of the idea of an alternative nanny agency, when I was  living in New Zealand. However, lack of knowledge about the need worldwide, small demand in New Zealand and careers in teaching and nannying taking me elsewhere meant that Peaceful Learning took a backseat. Four years on, after a career change and relocating to London, it  became very evident that an alternative nanny agency was needed.  Being a nanny and teacher myself who uses the RIE® principles and Magda Gerber's Educaring® Approach, I felt the frustration and longing to find the right family after joining countless nanny agencies. I had been approached by many families and nannies wanting and using respectful childcare looking to connect who understand what positive guidance means, who believe in child-led learning and that the best way to shape children is through role-modelling and so I thought, why not? How hard can it be to create an agency? (It was quite a rollercoaster!) So, here we are. Here to help families like you connect with the right nanny. No matter where you are in the world, we will do our very best to find a nanny that works for you. 
  
We feel it is really important to provide the best care for your child. This means nurturing every aspect of their development, the most important and under looked, especially in the early years, is the emotional regulation and development of a child. Only when a child feels safe and nurtured can they really begin a sustained level of play that can propel them forward. Being a nanny and teacher myself who used respectful care to connect, positive guidance and role-modelling to lead the child to success, and child-led learning to sustain intrinsic motivation to learn I can honestly say it really works! It gives me goose bumps to think about the success stories I have witnessed over the years.
