Xahra holds a BSc in Psychology from Anglia Ruskin University, gained in 2021, and an AMI 3–6 Montessori Diploma and Level 3 Early Years Educator qualification, both gained from the Maria Montessori Institute in London in 2025.

Montessori has been part of Xahra’s life since childhood. She attended a Children’s House herself, and this early experience stayed with her. After graduating from University, she worked in childcare from 2021, both in nursery settings and as a nanny, before training as a Montessori guide. She joined Clapham Montessori in 2026, bringing with her a genuine love for the approach and a warm, grounded commitment to the children in her care.
