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.

Monkey Puzzle Social Stories
Nursery Spotlight ✨
Towards the end of 2022, Monkey Puzzle Hartley Wintney went above and beyond to support Children In Need and we are incredibly proud!
The nursery had an entire week of raising money in a range of different ways.
The team were set a challenge to cycle at least 100 miles whilst the nursery is open. They started bright and early at 7:30am and cycled non-stop through to 6:30pm. We are thrilled to confirm that they smashed their target and cycled an amazing 150 miles! 🚴♂️
The nursery did an amazing job at raising a huge £560 to Children in Need!
Well done Monkey Puzzle Hartley Wintney ❤️

It's Rosa Parks Day ❤️
"Each person must live their life as a model for others"
Rosa Parks was born on the 4th of February 1913, so every year on her birthday, we take a day to celebrate Rosa and the impact that she had on the Civil Rights Movement.
Rosa continues to be recognised all over the world as a symbol of freedom and equality.
How will you be celebrating Rosa Parks Day today? Let us know below! 👇

New Year Celebrations ✨
Yesterday, Sunday the 22nd of January, marked the Chinese New Year, but also the Lunar New Year!
In many parts of the world, yesterday marked the start of a new year. Lunar New Year is celebrated widely throughout East Asia and marks the beginning of spring and the start of a new lunar cycle.
2023 is the year of the rabbit! 🐇
Our nurseries spent last week celebrating!
At Monkey Puzzle Cheshunt, their babies enjoyed exploring a rabbit themed snack tray, the toddlers created their own artwork using paints and sticking, while identifying each feature of a rabbits face, and the preschoolers created some lovely cherry blossom pictures using paint and their fingers. 🖌️
At Monkey Puzzle Altrincham, the children took part in some very interesting tuff trays to promote fine motor skills, as well as lantern making 🏮
How did you celebrate the New Lunar Year?
