Maria

Nursery Practitioner

My name is Maria. I have recently started a new career with Monkey Puzzle Twickenham, and I am so privileged to work with such fantastic staff members and children. It’s such a wonderful feeling when children progress with day-to-day life skills and general knowledge skills right before your eyes and become a little bit more independent every day. I am currently working with the Tweenies in the main room. I couldn’t have started off with a better early year if I had tried. Monkey Puzzle is a very special place, and it feels like home. I am currently preparing to study for my Early Years Educator Level 3, and I am so ready for it! There are so many ways to progress here and further your education. You learn something new every day. I really do love my job and the children I work with and I am excited to spend many more years here.
