For over fifteen years Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries have been working closely with parents, staff and Ofsted to deliver childcare of the highest quality, providing children with unlimited opportunities to play, learn and grow within a safe, secure and caring environment.
Babies
3 – 14 Months
During the time your baby is with us, they will stay in our baby’s room, a space designed with their needs in mind.
Your baby will be looked after by a dedicated and specially trained team of individuals. They will each care directly for no more than three children at any one time. In doing so, our team are able to provide the intimate care your young child needs. This will also be achieved in a way that works in partnership with your parenting, so your child maintains consistency in their daily care.

Toddlers
14 Months – 3 Years
Your child will thrive our Tweenies and Toddlers room in a space that matches their inquisitiveness and energy, with equipment and learning resources accessible at all times.
As your child plays, our educators sprinkle books, sounds and numbers around them, building your child’s curiosity. There is always space and opportunity for them to create their own work and art as well, inspired by the world around them.

Preschool
3 – 5 Years
We are trained and qualified to support your child’s education all the way through to joining school. All children’s development at the nursery is underpinned by the Early Years Foundation Stage which is the framework that your child will be assessed under in their first year at school. At our nurseries, we do this by carefully weaving development into your child’s play each and every day. Our approach to learning ensures that your preschool children are ready when the time comes to transition to school.

Discover the importance of a nursery environment ✨
The environment at any Monkey Puzzle setting is designed to enable your child to explore, develop and learn through spaces designed and equipped especially with them in mind.
At Monkey Puzzle, we consider the environment to be your child’s third teacher. Due to this, it joins you as parents and us as educators in guiding your child through their learning. Additionally, you’ll notice how we use our garden areas as an outdoor classroom too. This is because it is full of features to support their play and learning.
Today we hear from Quality Manager Jess McCarthy and Head of Operations Gemma Nance on the importance of the environment in a nursery and how this can impact your little one's experience.
