At Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries, our children begin their preschool journey at the age of three. Our staff are fully trained and qualified to support their education all the way to them 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 prepare your children for school by carefully weaving the framework into your child’s play each and every day.
Why choose Monkey Puzzle preschools for your child?
As a stepping stone towards their school experience, your child will be one of eight children assigned to an educator each day. This will be their key person who will be their advocate and your main point of contact for your child’s care and development.
Preschool children experience rooms that enable holistic play, where the children themselves create fun scenarios and activities that likely require the writing of lists, the creation of props, assigning of roles, counting and estimating, with stacks of talking, lots of movement and outside fun as well.
The sounds of preschool children learning through play are magical! Our educators help to facilitate this play. They are always fully engaged with the children, asking questions, prompting reflection and supporting problem-solving. We want to encourage our children to be curious, inquisitive learners who want to explore the world around them.
Why is it worth considering preschool for your child?
Having your child join a preschool is a fantastic option for many families. It can help build structure and routine for child, as well as help them prepare for their eventual transition to big school. Preschools offer amazing opportunities for children to learn social and communication skills, such as speaking, listening and sharing. It can be where they build friendships and bonds with other children that can last a lifetime. Preschool can also open doors for learning opportunities that a child may not have at home, giving them access to resources and experiences that might not be available to you as parents.
Attending a preschool can also have great benefits for parents. It could offer you the flexibility to return to work or just have a little bit more time to yourself to relax or complete the daily tasks and chores that can be challenging when looking after a child full-time. Similar to your child attending, it can also give you the chance to make new friends as you meet other parents with children of a similar age.
