All of our staff are either NNEB (National Nursery Examination Board) or equivalent, or participating in the National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) in Early Years and Childcare.

We have a very high qualified staff ratio which far exceeds that of OFSTED requirements. All of our staff are trained in First Aid.

Monkey Puzzle Eltham is a family run day nursery, owned by mother and daughter……Lesley and Vikki, who have a wealth of experience in childcare, learning and development and health and safety standards.

Vikki Aarons Owner and Director

I have a BTEC National Diploma in childcare and education and have worked within the childcare industry for the past 16 years.

I have a vast amount of experience when it comes to running a nursery setting and I am extremely passionate about providing high standards of care and education to children.
I am also a mother myself to two young children, both of whom attended nursery settings during their earlier years. I therefore appreciate first hand, from a parent’s perspective, the importance of meeting children’s needs through providing a nurturing, high quality setting full of unique and wonderful learning opportunities.

I will also be a hands-on manager at Eltham and am very keen to work in partnership with parents as well as build relationships within the local community.

Lesley Chesterton Owner and Director

I have worked alongside my husband, in the Health and Safety industry, running our own Fire Protection company for the last 25 years.

Alongside offering a high standard of care and education to all children, high standards of health and safety within the nursery setting, will always be our main objectives.
I have a huge amount of experience in accounts and HR and I am looking forward to working closely with the nursery staff and in partnership with parents and visitors to the nursery.
