Our play-based curriculum nurtures communication, physical, and emotional development for babies, while Toddlers and Preschoolers explore literacy, numeracy, expressive arts, and the world around them, indoors, outdoors, and through real-life experiences, growing confident, curious, and ready for the next stage.

K D (Mother of Child)

We’re so glad we moved our children to Monkey Puzzle. The staff are genuinely kind, take time to know each child and family, and the nursery is brilliantly run with great app updates. Our children love the outdoor space and trips, and we couldn’t be happier.

H C (Mother of Child)

My little girl started in September 2024 and absolutely loves it. The staff are amazing, the activities are fun and educational, and the app updates are so helpful. Her confidence has grown so much, the food is great, and I’d highly recommend this nursery.

Becky E (Mother of Child)

My son has attended since 7 months old and has loved every room. The staff are kind, caring, and nurturing, with excellent daily updates and quick responses. The thoughtful keepsakes and activities are lovely—I can’t recommend the nursery enough.

D M (Mother of Child)

An amazing nursery with lovely staff who keep you informed all day with updates and photos. There are always extra activities for families to get involved in, and nothing is ever too much trouble. My children love going and I’d 100% recommend.

Eden K (Mother of Child)

My daughter started in June 2024 at age one and the staff quickly put me at ease. The baby room team keep you updated, she’s always smiling when we arrive, and everyone knows the children by name. The manager is reassuring and organised—such a warm nursery.

L J (Mother of Child)

My son started last year very shy with delayed speech, and now he’s a happy, thriving little boy who has improved so much. The staff are friendly and keep me updated with photos and activities, and the security is excellent. I highly recommend.

Sally S (Mother of Child)

Our daughter has attended since 13 months and we’ve loved it from the first visit. She’s grown socially, emotionally, and academically while having lots of fun, and the staff care for her in a really home-from-home way. I recommend it to everyone.

C F (Mother of Child)

Amazing nursery and amazing staff who go above and beyond. It feels like such a safe environment and my little boy has developed so much since starting. We wouldn’t go anywhere else.

A Day In Our Nursery

Healthy Eating

As children grow, a healthy and balanced diet is key, and we inspire with a variety of colour, texture, and taste to expand their food experiences.

Seasonal and local produce are also important in helping children understand more about where food comes from and nutrition.
