About Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries
Our experience of the childcare sector dates back to 1978 when the first nursery was opened in Cambridgeshire (trading as Ladybird Day Nursery). Originally trading as a family business overtime the operations have grown into a network of 25 nurseries backed by an extensive support team at Head Office.
The group is soon to expand to over 30 settings and is amongst the top 10 childcare providers in the UK.
We pride ourselves in the knowledge that we offer our children a secure caring environment that is second to none.
All of our nurseries are designed to offer a bright, airy and stimulating environment for our children to thrive in. Each age group have their own dedicated room, tailored to meet their own very individual requirements.
Rooms are designed to suit every age
The Baby rooms, which cater for children from three months, all have separate sleep rooms and changing facilities. The baby’s day rooms are designed to provide a stimulating environment through the use of natural light, sensory toys and activities. Music, stories, art and craft and fresh air combine to provide a typical day in the baby room.
The Toddler rooms are a hive of activity, whether the children are baking biscuits, getting messy with gloop or learning pencil control, it’s all great fun. The emphasis in these rooms is learning through play and this is also an age where lots of patience and understanding is required.
The Pre-school rooms focus on preparing children for primary school through play. A structured day is centred around the six key stages of learning, namely language and literacy, numeracy, knowledge and understanding of the world, emotional & social development, physical development, and creative development. This, coupled with lots of fresh air, provides a busy day for all in the Pre-School section.
Security at Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries is paramount. All the Nurseries have secure entrances and all visitors and parents have to go through the security system for access. We operate a password system for third party collection and all children have to be signed in and out.
Healthy nursery food devised by a nutritionist
We our passionate about Meal Times at our settings and as such our menus have been devised by a nutritionist and aim to provide fresh balanced meals to all children at each meal or snack time. We encouraged children to sit together with practitioners creating a social occasion.
All fruit and vegetables used are organic and all our meat is free range and fresh water is available to the children at all times and milk is provided throughout the day.
All children are offered at least five portions of fruit and vegetables every day. All allergies and dietary requirements are catered for.
