Prerna Shah- Nursery Owner
I am the Managing Director of Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery, Maidenhead. My main task is ensuring the nursery has everything in place to provide a happy healthy environment, where children can grow and provide peace of mind to our parents, that their children are in excellent care.
My background of 20 years in Project Management which included managing, and mentoring large teams definitely is an asset to my current role in the nursery. I am a proud mum of two, and I appreciate the challenges of being in full-time employment and teaming this with involvement in our children’s education.
I am present at the nursery every day to support my team, our families, and our children. I very much enjoy watching and seeing our children develop from babies to young children, from taking their first steps in our baby room, transitioning to toddlers, and helping them prepare for their next big steps to primary school.
