Testimonials:
Aleks M – under 3’s manager
“I’ve worked at Monkey Puzzle East Finchley for over 5 years now and couldn’t imagine being at any other childcare setting. I started my journey as a volunteer and worked my way up to a brand-new position of un under 3’s manager. The management team are amazing with everything they undertake every step of the way. They listen to any concerns with an open mind and will amend them almost immediately. When they noticed staff were feeling a bit stressed, they created our very own Zen Den with facemasks, vitamins and massagers. Daily praise is given as they notice how happy and engaged our children are, as well as yearly and random pay rises and rewards for our hard work, we even have rewards point system from parents and colleagues for which we’ll get bonuses and treats! Childcare can be stressful and at times overwhelming but the support for staff and the happiness of our children mean I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else!”

Anna B Baby Room leader
“Working at Monkey Puzzle is such a joy! The management are fantastic and always provide opportunities to grow. They promote from within wherever possible which allowed me to progress from an unqualified assistant nursery teacher to completing my level 5 qualification a room leader. The wellbeing of staff is at the forefront of the management teams minds. During lunch breaks we have the opportunity to use the “Zen Den” staff room which has a TV, breakfast bar, face masks and lots more to give you a rest from the crazy day! It is always a fun day at Monkey Puzzle East Finchley!
