Jenine

Nursery Owner

I am so pleased to be taking over Monkey Puzzle Chesham as the new Owner and excited to see all the positive changes I have planned and made come to life already. My main focus has been community events and partnerships, improving the indoor children’s rooms and cleaning up the garden.

Chesham is very community focussed which I love, so we have arranged many exciting outings such as visiting the dentist and doctor, a trip to see Dear Zoo at the The Elgiva Theatre, visits to the 2 closest care homes as well as the and having the PCSO’S to come and visit us. I am in the process of painting the nursery and making the setting look more inviting for the children and staff. We have a new incentive called Monkey P’s where the staff are rewarded with points which amount to vouchers if they received Employee of the Month, Room of the Month, if a visitor or parent mentions them positively.

The feedback from the parent survey highlighted that they wanted the children to be outside in the environment more, therefore I have arranged a trip with Chiltern Railways to visit the stream where they will look at how to take care of the area and have a look at what is in the stream. The nursery is growing and we are making amazing changes to ensure all children are getting the very best from our lovely setting.
