Position: 

Nursery Manager - Maternity Leave

About Me:

My name is Shivani and I am the Nursery Manager at Monkey Puzzle West Kensington!

I have been working in Early Years for 13+ years. I chose this career because of the joy and innocence the children bring, knowing I can teach them something new. When I started my journey, I began as a newly qualified practitioner from college. I love this job because I am able to encourage children to express themselves freely. I love seeing the different I make to the children and their families.

I joined Monkey Puzzle West Kensington because of the children, their families and the staff - it felt like home. I joined Monkey Puzzle as a Deputy Manager and became the Nursery Manager within 18 months. I managed a new site, completed my Level 5 in Management, managed 2 sites at one time, whilst training up another Deputy Manager so she could take over one of the sites.
