An extension of home,
full of nature
A Waldorf-inspired childminder: low ratios, familiar carers who don't change, and nature every day.
Made for families like yours
For those who believe the early years are best lived slowly — with connection, calm, and plenty of nature.
Familiar key people
Attachment is the heart of ages 1–4. Here a small, stable team accompanies the children — the same faces, every morning.
Nature every day
Direct access to the forest and outdoor play, rain or shine. Learning with every sense.
Low ratio, warm home
A small group in a carefully prepared space, where every child feels seen, safe, and held.
We are nature.
Everything is alive.
In nature, learning is organic: smells, sounds, movement, balance. We go outside every day so children experience the world with their whole body.
No screens, no recorded music — only live songs and stories that truly reach the souls of the little ones.
A home made for little hands
Prepared corners inside and a garden with the forest right there. Natural materials, daylight, and time to play.
happy families What families say
"La Casa dels Ocellets para nosotros es la mejor decisión que hemos podido tomar. Se acompaña desde el amor y el respeto, y el foco siempre está en el niño."
"Una persona amb molta passió, dedicació, tendresa i paciència… en un entorn fabulós on permet que els infants explorin de la millor manera. Ho recomanaríem a totes les famílies."
"Els meus fills van formar part de la família de la Casa dels Ocellets des de l'any d'edat fins als 3 anys i van ser molt feliços. Sempre ho recordarem amb molt d'afecte. Gràcies, Montserrat!"
What families ask us
What exactly is a mare de dia (childminder)?
A mare de dia cares for a very small group of children in her own home, in a warm, family setting. It's a gentle, human alternative to the first cycle of nursery, centred on attachment and respect for each child's pace.
What ages do you welcome?
We care for children from 1 to 4 years — the stage when bonding and calm matter most.
How many children are in the group?
We welcome up to 10 children and always keep a maximum ratio of 1 adult to 5. A small group lets us truly know each child and care for them with a small, stable team of familiar carers.
Where are you?
We're in Bellaterra (Cerdanyola del Vallès, Barcelona), in a house with a garden and the forest right next door, where we go out every day.
What is the settling-in period like?
Settling-in is done respectfully and at each child's pace, alongside the family, so the move to our home is a safe, calm and happy transition.
