Lauren

Nursery Assistant

Before joining Astwick Monkey Puzzle, I worked in health and social care for nearly a decade which consisted of supporting individuals with physical, mental and/or learning disabilities. I decided to take on a new challenge and move into working in the early years sector. I look forward to continue working with children, developing my skills and supporting their journeys.

Since having a child, it made me realise how much I enjoy being around children, watching them develop and grow, and has already been a hugely rewarding experience supporting children's early years development.

I love the beautiful grounds and setting that the children are able to explore. Additionally, all the children and staff are so lovely. I look forward to gaining more experience working in childcare here at Monkey Puzzle Astwick. In my spare time I enjoy spending quality time with my daughter and partner, and going on road trips to different places.

Qualifications:

• Level 2 Health and Social Care

Interesting fact about me:

I volunteer in my spare time at Mencap supporting people with learning difficulties.
