Play, learn and grow
with Monkey Puzzle

We’re proud to be recognised among the Top 20 Day Nurseries in the region, a reflection of our team’s passion and dedication. With glowing 5-star reviews from parents, we deliver exceptional care and education every day. Our staff go above and beyond to create a nurturing environment where every child feels seen, heard, and loved. We celebrate each child’s individuality, guiding them through their early years with warmth and expertise. Our strong relationships with families and children are what make our nursery truly special.

Our Forest School sessions bring learning to life through the wonder of nature. Set in the countryside, children enjoy outdoor adventures like climbing trees, making mud pies, and cooking over campfires. These hands-on experiences help build independence, resilience, and teamwork from an early age. Led by our qualified Forest School Leader, sessions are child-led and rooted in curiosity and creativity. We believe that learning doesn’t have to happen inside four walls. Nature offers endless opportunities to grow, explore, and have fun every day.

Our nursery is designed to feel like a second home—warm, welcoming, and filled with love. Each room is tailored to the needs of its age group, creating safe and stimulating spaces where children feel truly nurtured. With cosy corners, free-flow gardens, and thoughtfully chosen resources, we support children in building confidence and emotional security. Our team works hard to create a peaceful, consistent environment that feels familiar and comforting. Children are supported at every stage, developing independence and strong foundations for life.

At Monkey Puzzle Astwick, children thrive in a stunning countryside setting with daily access to nature, animals, and fresh air. Our converted barn nursery offers open space and freedom for little explorers to learn through adventure. Whether it’s picking fruit, building dens, or saying hello to farm animals, the outdoors is at the heart of what we do. We believe real-life experiences help children grow into curious, confident learners. Our passionate team encourages outdoor discovery in all weather, sparking joy and imagination every single day.
