We love our nursery! It?s a beautiful setting with so much natural light and free flow between outside and inside. My 1 year old daughter is so happy coming into nursery and loves the staff! I trust them completely and can go to work knowing that my daughter is loved and cared for.

S.M – Parent

December 2nd, 2023

Our son has been going to the Monkey Puzzle Nursery, Marleigh for the past few months. The motivation and encouragement he receives from the staff everyday has helped him to settle down confidently. The food that he eats everyday is exceptional.

G.W – Parent

September 7th, 2023

Lovely, friendly staff, receptive, communicative. My son loves going to the nursery and joyfully walks in independently in the morning, something I wouldn?t expect if he wasn?t given the diligent attention the nursery offers. The chef caters an amazing food menu for the children.

G.B – Parent

September 6th, 2023

My children have attended Marleigh Monkey Puzzle for 10 months now and I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. Both my children have come on leaps and bounds and their vocabulary, numeracy and communication has improved dramatically since attending this setting.

P.A – Parent

August 31st, 2023

All of the Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery team are so welcoming, warm and nurturing. They are so in tune with every child?s interests and went above and beyond to support my children to settle in. My children are always greeted with a smile and they often talk about what they have enjoyed.

N.B – Parent

August 25th, 2023

Every day our daughter leaves nursery happy and energised. She moved from another nursery, aged 15 months, and she settled really well. The meals are nutritious and varied and the sleeping environment is spacious and comfortable.

10/10 review score!

We are delighted to announce that we have received a perfect score of 10/10 in our reviews on day nurseries!

🌨️❄️Snow Day!❄️🌨️

This week, our theme is 'winter wonderland', and the weather couldn’t have been more fitting. The children squealed with delight at the sight of snow in the garden and wrapped up warm to venture outside and enjoy it. The children shared conversations when they had their breakfast in the morning about how they felt about the snow and if they had seen it before. 🤍

They engaged in snowball fights, built mini snowmen, brought arctic animals out to play in the snow, and even brought some snow inside to explore further in the warm classrooms. 🩵

🎊🌟Happy new year! 🌟🎊

We hope you all enjoyed a fantastic break. This year, we are proud to have achieved a five-star food hygiene certificate and received a perfect 10/10 review score from parents. We have also introduced Forest School sessions for children over three years old and welcomed numerous exciting visitors, including a Chinese New Year workshop, Zoo Lab, and a school leavers celebration featuring a children's entertainer. Additionally, we have seen many new children joining our setting including some new siblings. 🐍🧧🪄

It has been a wonderful year at Marleigh, and we are looking forward to supporting the children's growth in the year ahead. 🩵

🎄🎅 Santa's Visit To Marleigh 🎅🎄

This week, Santa paid a visit to the children. He brought a gift for each child, and they had the opportunity to give him high fives and hugs if they wanted to as well as telling him what they have put on their Christmas list. It was heart-warming to witness their faces brighten with joy and lovely to create such a special memory together with some parents who also attended the event.🌟
