Founder & Manager
Philomena Sadia
Over 12 years in early years,
carried into a proper nursery.
Philomena has worked in childcare for over 12 years, beginning as an Ofsted-registered childminder before growing Eden into a nursery and preschool setting. Her background spans nursery operations, staff recruitment and training, curriculum development, safeguarding, SENCO support and parent engagement.
She has led teams, managed nursery routines and supported children across the early years. Eden is built around that same practical standard: children are known personally, routines are consistent, and parents know who to speak to.
Eden Childcare Group is the next step: a bigger setting, a trained team, the same founder-led care. She's in the building every day.

How We Work
Our principles
A small group, on purpose
We're not a chain and we don't want to be. Small enough that every child is known by every member of staff — big enough to give each age its own room, ratio, and rhythm.
Multilingual from day one
English, French and Arabic spoken across the team. Children who hear their home language in the room settle faster, learn more, and arrive home feeling at ease.
Inclusive without exception
Children with autism, ADHD, speech and language differences, allergies, asthma — every one of them welcome. Philomena brings SENCO training, safeguarding leadership and years of hands-on childcare experience.
Founder-led, every day
Philomena is in the building. She knows your child's name, your pickup time, the thing that makes them laugh. The person on your tour is the person who looks after your child.
