Amy

Nursery Manager

Hi! I’m Amy and I’m the nursery manager at Monkey Puzzle Ware. I started my journey here in 2017. After a big move from Kent I was working in a busy day nursery which despite the beautiful setting and grounds I knew wasn’t for me, I met with Swati for an interview at the nursery and knew instantly this was the team I wanted to work within. I started as the room leader for the toddler room and worked my way up from there.

I graduated in 2015 with a Bsc in Early Childhood Studies and Sociology from Canterbury Christ Church University, from undertaking numerous placements while completing my Level 3 qualification I knew that early years was the sector for me, I just had to decide the age of the children I wanted to work with. I started my childcare career in Deal, Kent where I was a practitioner in a small community nursery which I had undertaken a placement in. The nursery only enrolled children between the ages of 2-4yo so at this point I had no experience within a baby room. When we moved from Kent to Hertfordshire, I fancied a change and ended up in a busy baby room of a private day nursery. Now with experience of all early year’s age groups I can say that I thoroughly enjoy working in each one and honestly couldn’t pick a favourite. I had a strong vision for the nursery when I started as manager here and am proud to have been involved in our most recent Ofsted inspection in which we received a good grading.
