J.S – Parent

December 1st, 2023

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!

Feedback from our wonderful parents is crucial as it helps us provide the best possible support for both them and their children. We sincerely appreciate every parent who has taken the time to leave us a review.

💐Mother's Day - Parent Event 💐

This week, we hosted a special Mother’s Day event for all of our parents and carers. In preparation, the children crafted cards to gift their loved ones the previous week. 💝

During the event, children and families enjoyed a variety of activities, including pressing flowers in play dough, creating pasta bracelets, and snuggling in cosy corners to read stories about families. They also explored water trays and made delightful flower potions. Additionally, the children experienced sensory play with gloop mixed with petals, as well as shaving foam. 🌸

❤️🐺Little Red Riding Hood🐺❤️

This week, the children have been delving into the story of "Little Red Riding Hood." They have created their own forest paintings, crafted wolf masks, constructed wolf dens in the garden, explored clay to fashion Granny's basket, and even hosted a tea party with Grandma and their teddies. 🍎🌳

The preschool room made blueberry oat cakes for Grandma (and themselves!) and used a basket to have some fruit for snack and added coins and role played buying fruit from a shop for Grandma whilst taking turns in being the customers and shop keepers. The children did some large scale mark making by painting in red on the windows to practise their cross-body movements to support their pre writing skills. Some of the children could link some letters written by adults to initial sounds from the story such as "r" for "red". 🔴🦌🛒

The baby and toddler room have created many sensory trays in the colour red as well as pretending to feed the wolf. 🐺
