Welcome to our very own Superhero Universe!
We pride ourselves on the people we have in place to support our nursery teams. We value a person-centred approach to ensure that everyone is treated as the wonderful individuals they are. The quality of the key relationships between the adults who care and support the children is vital.
High-quality care with a true understanding of the precious little people at the centre of our ethos enables children to become strong, confident and independent learners. We want to introduce you to our fantastic senior superheroes who will be supporting our children and families within the Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery universe.
Arlind Marku, Nursery owner believes that “a child’s successful journey starts from very early education so it was extremely important for me to provide the best settings for children to have enjoyable and fun learning experiences.” Arlind has worked hard to create a management team which instils their expertise to enhance practitioner’s skills and develop fantastic learning opportunities for children. “I am a firm believer that children are our future and we must give them an understanding of how powerful, important, valuable and perfect they are”
Jo, our Nursery Manager has a wealth of experience within Tunbridge Wells and is extremely excited to create a special space within the local community. My passion is to create inviting and positive environments where the children can thrive and develop through play and new opportunities.
Our other superhero support:
Joy Wood, Early Years Quality Manager for Monkey Puzzle Head Office has been involved in the set up of the nursery and will be regularly visiting to support Jo and the team. Joy is focused on raising standards of childcare and education within the Monkey Puzzle network.
Joy previously worked in the Monkey Puzzle Highbury setting, joining at the beginning of their adventure and worked towards achieving an Outstanding Ofsted inspection. She has worked in the childcare sector for over 25 years in a variety of settings and roles, giving her a breadth of experience to utilise.
Nick Huddart, Operations Manager has extensive experience in Early Years and a background as an Ofsted Outstanding Nursery Manager. Nick ensures that a strong focus remains on investing in the team and the quality of our learning environments to promote children’s positive learning outcomes. “Our team are the greatest resource we have, creating special experiences for the children and building positive and lasting parent relationships.”
We are also extremely lucky to have Emma Thomas, Early Years Co-Ordinator who will be working closely alongside Jo and the team as well. She will be supporting with a range of her early year’s expertise centred around supporting children with additional needs and creating stimulating, learning environments.
