Scott

Nursery Manager

Hi, my name is Scott. I am the new nursery manager for Monkey Puzzle Lightwater, and I am super excited to meet you all and build a wonderful community nursery to give your children the best start in life.

I started my journey working with children back when I was 16 years old where I began as a PE Coach and Football Manager. I knew from this experience that this was the industry I wanted to be in. From there, I started my apprenticeship in Childcare and once completed after 18 months, my career developed from Nursery Nurse, Nursery Chef to Deputy Manager and eventually Nursery Manager and Area Manager, I have done every role with love , care and 100% commitment.

I have managed several nurseries which has provided me with a wealth of Early Years experience. I am a massive advocate for Forest School and outdoor learning, completing my Level 3 in Forest School over 8 years ago and implementing this in every nursery I have worked for. I would be described as, fun and organised, you may hear singing terribly "Hakuna Matata" but I love to live life to the fullest! I am a very lucky man that I am a dad of two, Molly (10) and George (7), who are my world along with my partner and my dog Rupert.

I am looking forward to opening the doors of Monkey Puzzle Lightwater and creating a special nursery in the community for children and families.
