Asking “Where can I find a nursery near me?” Monkey Puzzle has nurseries across the UK to support your family.
Enriching Environments
Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries offer a space to thrive for your child where they can play, learn and grow. All our nurseries are carefully designed creating a home from home feel with well resourced, enriching learning and play spaces. Every nursery has dedicated outdoor spaces used for a wide variety of activities from discovering nature to sports. The wider local community plays an important role in the nursery experience as an extended learning environment to create well rounded socially aware young children.
Community Cornerstones
A Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery and Preschool has a special part to play in their local community. We want to build relationships and become an important asset for families in the area. We know that we have a responsibility to support them as much as they support us. From hosting mother and baby groups to raising money for local charities, Monkey Puzzle want to have a positive contribution to every community we are lucky to be a part of.
Our People Care
Monkey Puzzle strives for excellence in early years education. We see this passion in our staff every day. Our nursery teams are friendly, empathetic and creative, caring for your children like they are our own. This is reflected every day in the practice in all our nurseries and we take great pride in what we do.
Holisitic Early Years Approach
Monkey Puzzle takes a holistic approach to learning guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage framework (EYFS). We inspire through excellence in Early Years Education placing the development and needs of the children we care for at the heart of everything we do. Nursery and preschool is a time when a child learns about themselves as much as the world around them. We enable this through the magic of learning through play and encouraging curiosity that stimulates the mind and body of children.

Parent and Carer Reviews
From our Daynurseries.co.uk reviews, find out what our parents have to say about their time at some of our Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries and Preschools.
Nursery Parent, Catford
My son started at Monkey Puzzle at ten months and has just started primary school, with my daughter now just in the baby room. All the way through nursery, the staff have been absolutely amazing with genuine care for their welfare and happiness, which makes leaving them there so easy.
Nursery Parent, Highbury
So happy with Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Highbury. The team are incredible and really cares about the children. They are also very considerate of parents and so accommodating when there are special requests. Can’t recommend them highly enough!
Nursery Parent, Billericay
Monkey Puzzle is a wonderful nursery, and it's the staff there that make it so brilliant! The care they give my son (and my son, who has now left and is at school) is impeccable. My youngest son suffers from multiple allergies, and the staff at Monkey Puzzle couldn't be more accommodating.
Nursery Parent, Guildford
My daughters' key workers and the management have made us both feel very welcome and have been very supportive in helping my daughter to adjust. The management at Monkey Puzzle is absolutely brilliant. They have been comforting and accommodating to mine and my daughter's needs.
Nursery Parent, Welling
The nursery is great, I can't recommend it enough. My first son joined during lockdown and has gotten along really well. My second born has joined this year and is doing great and loving the staff everyone is very friendly and really care for my kids so I'm very pleased.
Nursery parent, Harrow
We had previously had a disappointing experience with another nursery, and after following Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery on social media for some time, we had decided to move our daughter there - we couldn’t be happier.
