Hear from one of our Practitioners, Fraya who says:
“At Monkey Puzzle I was offered the opportunity to study and gain a level three qualification in early years. This is something that I am currently working towards, and it has been very helpful to apply previous knowledge and new knowledge when providing care for the children in the nursery.
My next steps at Monkey Puzzle would be to become a level three qualified nursery nurse and to continue studying wherever possible to further my knowledge in childcare and early years education”.
We can't wait to hear from you soon!
