My name is Despoina Mantzari, and I’m a qualified Early Childhood Educator specialising in Creative and Expressive Activities. Originally from Greece and now based in London, I’ve spent the past 10 years helping children explore their creativity, build confidence, and express themselves.

My experience spans a variety of settings — from Hackney Garden School for Special Education, to private clubs like Maggie & Rose, and several private nurseries across London. These diverse environments have strengthened my belief that every child is naturally creative and simply needs the right space to shine.

With a hands-on, nurturing, and inclusive approach, I love guiding little artists as they imagine, experiment, and proudly say, “I made this!”

My goal was to create a safe, loving, and inspiring space where every child can dream big, express themselves, and grow with joy and confidence. So I created Little Creators Hackney Studio!
