We couldn't be happier with Monkey Puzzle Regents Terrace. The staff are fully invested in my daughter's happiness and she loves going to nursery every day. Staff are bright, loving and professional. Communication with parents is excellent and we work together to support my daughter

Really great nursery. We visited a few nurseries and they all were awful in my opinion. But Monkey Puzzle set my mind right at ease. If there is ever a question they will answer. Very good feedback every day. Very happy with my choice of nursery.

It is the best nursery ever. My daughter really loves Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery. She loves everything that happens there. She loves the teachers, food and activities. She doesn't know English but she is still comfortable there. I feel at ease when she is there and I can trust the nursery.

❤️"Hand in hand , step by step"❤️

Is your little one starting school this year? If you’re feeling a bit unsure about their readiness, that's completely normal. It can be a bit overwhelming knowing they are about to take this big step into ‘big school’.

When families, early years, and schools collaborate, children can develop the confidence, resilience, and curiosity needed for life.

At Monkey Puzzle Regent Terrace we value friendship, and kindness and the importance of respecting each other's values and beliefs.

Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Regent Terrace

A day in the life of a 3 year old .................

I like playing with blocks, dressing up and my favourite book is "Superworm"

"My favourite song is Twinkle, Twinkle "
"when I grow up I want to be a Princess"

"I like the number 3 and hearts"
"I like Monday and Tuesday, Pasta and Blueberries"

Where laughter and learning go hand in hand.
