Welcome to Monkey Puzzle Loughton

Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Loughton is proudly located in the heart of Loughton and is just a seven minute walk from Loughton tube station. This makes us well located for serving families in the Epping Forest district of Essex. We are part of an award-winning nursery group, offering high-quality childcare in our specially equipped nursery for children aged three months to five years old. Adding to this, we tailor our care to suit your child’s age. We achieve this by placing children into the following age categories: babies aged three to fourteen months, toddlers & tweenies aged fourteen months to three years and, lastly, preschool aged three to five years. Due to our rooms being equipped especially for these ages, we are able to provide that home from home feel.

Moreover, our daily opening times are 7:30am to 6.30pm. This will be Monday to Friday for 51 weeks per year. As a result, we are able to provide you with the reliability you need as your local nursery.

Monkey Puzzle Loughton has recently been inspected and we are proud to say that Ofsted has rated us a Good nursery. We encourage every parent to come and take a look at our nursery. This allows you to get a feel for what we do and discover why children have great days with us. For that reason, start your journey with Monkey Puzzle Nursery Loughton and book a personal tour with us.

Now Offering Totscrops at our Nursery

The company was founded by Deborah Imber, a hairdresser who qualified in 1992 and has worked in the industry ever since. It was in 2004, and with the birth of her daughter, that she saw her life take a different direction. She noticed that a lot of the children in her daughter’s nursery often had messy or uncut hair, giving her a new perspective on the hairdressing industry. She approached her daughter’s nursery in order to offer an in-house hairdressing service, and thus, Tots Crops was created!

Holi - the festival of colour! ❤️💚💛💜💙
What a wonderful day we had celebrating holi with our friends! Katherine came and spoke to us about holi, the Festival of colour, she spoke about the celebration and explained all of the different colors use. When using the paint she also explained about how to keep safe whilst using it.

We threw the colours in the air and sprinkled it on our friends, we got very messy but had so much fun, listening to some traditional music and sharing lots of laughter!

📙World book day📙

The nursery staff and children took part in world book day. We had many different characters from all sorts of story books. From Zog, to the Gruffalo, princesses, police men and much more.

Reading is such a crucial part of children’s development. Creating a language rich environment from our baby room through to our preschool through singing, story telling, conversations, asking questions, children then become comfortable using a dish range of vocabulary and language structures, which also link with our monkey puzzle aspiration Confident Communicators.

🧼🫧Health and self care activity!🫧🧼

Some of the children in toddler 2 are struggling to enjoy hair wash time at home so today we did an activity to boost learning and fun about why health and self care is so important.

During this morning toddlers took part in a discussion about hair washing then took part in washing our staff members hair!!. They all took shampoo and scrubbed it into the hair, they poured water on to rinse and throughout were role playing. Hopefully moving forward the children will enjoy hair wash time ☺️.
