Years of service.

Here we have two more of our amazing bank staff, Lily & Tommy who are both celebrating 3 years of service here at Monkey Puzzle Orpington.

Lily & Tommy are known across the whole of the nursery by all of the children, and they adore them both.

Lily brings kindness and cuddles and Tommy brings football and fun. We are so very lucky to have them as part of our team.
Thank you for everything you do for us.

Celebrating years of service!

Here we have our wonderful Nikki, who works in our little baby room and she is celebrating 4 years service with us.

She has such a kind and caring personality, she is always ready to give our beautiful babies lots of cuddles, she works well as part of the team and is always ready for action.

Then we have our awesome Hayley who is one of our bank staff.
As bank staff Hayley has the pleasure of working in all of rooms, but recently she has been in our toddler room helping the new children settle in and giving them all lots of hugs when they need them.
Hayley is a great team player, she’s kind, caring & passionate about the children, and we think she’s great.

A very big thank you to both Nikki & Hayley for everything they do for us!

We had to wait ages for her to certificate to come…

Please join us in congratulating our amazing Chloe in the toddler room for passing her level 3 in childcare!

We are so very proud of you Chloe, you have come so far since you joined us 5 years ago (which we are also celebrating with you this month) as an apprentice and look at you now with gaining both your level 2 and level 3 in that time.

The parents think you’re great, the children adore and we think you’re absolutely fabulous.
Thank you for everything you do for us! We’d be lost without you.
