Meet our Owner – Gaitri Sharma
I am Gaitri Sharma, the owner of Monkey Puzzle Stafford and Monkey Puzzle Solihull nurseries. With over 10 years of experience in Further Education, I developed a passion for Early Years during my time as the Head of the Early Years Department. As a mother of four, I understand the importance of quality education and operate with a parent’s perspective, while considering children’s needs.
My vision for both Monkey Puzzle Stafford and Monkey Puzzle Solihull is to ‘Deliver an exceptional environment for learning so that our children will never cease to grow’.
Our core values are centered around making every child feel important, providing engaging learning experiences, delighting parents as they see their child develop and never losing sight of our vision.
My inspiration behind creating successful nurseries is due to satisfaction gained when I see the smiles of engaged children learning through interest led play. Seeing the children grow, being nurtured, and developed, ready to move to primary school by our amazing and passionate practitioners is a wonderful experience.
I am thrilled of our achievements in Monkey Puzzle Stafford and hope to accomplish this in Monkey Puzzle Solihull.
We are proud to be an Ofsted Good nursery: “Children are supported well to develop good levels of communication and language skills. Staff introduce and model the correct use of new words and listen to what children say. Staff ask questions to find out what children already know and praise children for their efforts. Staff know the children well and use their knowledge, alongside assessments, to plan how they will develop children’s learning further. Staff help children to develop their independence. Younger children and babies are supported to feed themselves and older children confidently cut up their own food using a knife and fork”.
The parents of our children rate the care and services we provide 9.9 on Day Nurseries, which is an honour.
Our curriculum is tailored to meet the needs of every individual child and specific targets are shared with parents through our electronic app, to ensure progress is made together. Our parent partnership is one of our biggest strengths and this has allowed us to build a community where Monkey Puzzle children, parents and staff are one family.
Our dedicated Parent Governors group aids in communication and fundraising efforts, including the installation of a defibrillator, that serves our nursery and local community.
I am actively involved in all aspects of the nursery, working with staff, parents, and children to ensure their needs are met. The children are at the heart of my decision making and I am very fortunate to be able to spend time within the nursery on a regularly.
