Nichola
Position:
Nursery Manager
About Me:
I am excited to open the new setting at Monkey Puzzle Epsom. I have been working in childcare now for 14 years and have been managing nurseries for the last 5 years. I hold a degree in Early Years Education and believe that children thrive when they feel secure in their environment and are having fun. I am passionate about creating an enriching and nurturing environment where children are at the centre of everything we do.
The nursey is a listed building and whilst it has been renovated, it still has some beautiful details of the cottage it used to be before. We also have a large outdoor space, which we encourage children to use in all weathers and the baby room have their very own garden.
I joined Monkey Puzzle Day after returning from maternity leave and I am super excited for my son to get all the experiences of nursery life.
An interesting fact about me…
I am a qualified swimming instructor and help at a voluntary swimming club in Cheam.
