I was worried about sending my daughter to nursery. After several visits to Monkey Puzzle with my daughter and husband the more we felt comfortable with the place and the staff. My daughter had a few settling in days which she thoroughly enjoyed and was so happy that she forgot I was there. Since she has started there two mornings a week she is so excited in the mornings that she hurries me to get ready so she can go to nursery. My daughter loves the staff, she loves looking after the rabbits and more importantly, she looks forward to breakfast and lunch.
It is great getting updates and pictures of what she is doing through the day, it also shows me how much she has eaten and when her nappy has been changed. My daughter lights up when you ask her about going to nursery. I cannot recommend Monkey Puzzle Kettering enough.

The staff at Monkey Puzzle are so lovely, warm and welcoming. My son started his first week after a few visits last week. The staff put you at ease instantly. The building is amazing, so much space for the little ones, so many activities to see and do. We loved the outside space, my son loves being outdoors and I knew he would be very happy out there. He cried last week because he had to leave the nursery - he loved it that much. This week he’s clocked on Mummy’s leaving so has been a little upset but the staff have been fantastic putting me at ease and the app they have to update you is outstanding. The staff are very understanding of how upsetting it can be to leave your precious babies in their hands but the constant photos and updates of their day makes you feel a bit better. The food is all freshly cooked and the menus seem really impressive.
Really happy so far.

My daughter is so happy at this nursery. She has become a different child. It's a wonderful place and the staff are great. So glad my child got a place.

Michelle is a Qualified Teacher holding a Bachelor of Education (Hons), Qualified teaching status as well as a Master of Arts Degree specialising in Early Years Education. She has been working in education and childcare for over 15 years, as well as bringing up her two children, who attend/attended their settings.
When asked why she wanted to work with children, Michelle replied ” I have always wanted to be work with children. I love their energy, honesty and their total love of everything fun and exciting. I really enjoy sharing new ideas and experiences with them. My hope is that I can create a fun, exciting and caring learning environment. I have a lot of patience, enthusiasm, creativity and enjoy helping children (and adults) to discover new things. I want to create an environment that is exciting and fun for the children and my staff. As long as children are given, love, support and encouragement they will succeed. Job satisfaction was the most important factor in choosing a career, and working with children, I believe, is the ultimate choice.”
Since moving to the UK, from South Africa in 2007, Michelle has worked for the National Autistic Society as a teacher creating highly motivating, sensory, dynamic and visually based lessons. After having her first child she branched out into Childminding and received an Outstanding from Ofsted. Michelle has experience of working with children who have multiple barriers to their learning with a vast array of needs and abilities. She hopes to pass on this knowledge to her staff and will use her previous experience as a sound base for coaching and staff development.
Michelle is a good people manager, believing that open honesty, clarity and consideration go a long way in inspiring the best from people. She has a strong work ethos and is highly adaptable, motivated and incredibly enthusiastic.
