What Makes Us Special
Strong Community Connections
We believe that the best outcomes for children happen when nursery and home work hand in hand. Our secure partnerships with parents are built on open communication, trust, and shared goals. Through regular family events, workshops, and information sessions, we invite parents to be an active part of their child’s early learning journey. It’s a true community feel, where families are supported and celebrated every step of the way.
Enriching Environment
Monkey Puzzle Orpington offers a space to thrive for your children where they can play, learn and grow. Our nursery is carefully designed creating a home from home feel with well resourced, enriching learning and play spaces. We have a dedicated outdoor space used for a wide variety of activities from discovering nature to sports. Our wider local community plays an important role in the nursery experience as an extended learning environment to create well rounded socially aware young children.
Outdoor Adventures
We’re incredibly lucky to have a generous outdoor space where children can play, explore, and learn in the fresh air. Our large garden offers plenty of room for physical activity, sensory exploration, nature-based learning, and of course, lots of fun! Whether it's planting flowers, building obstacle courses, or searching for bugs, our outdoor area supports creativity, confidence, and wellbeing.

At Monkey Puzzle Orpington, our management team brings a wealth of Early Years expertise, compassion, and dedication.

Would you go on a bear hunt in the garden?
Can you make it from one side of the room to the other without touching the floor because it’s hot lava?
Can you bring a story to life just by changing the sound of your voice?
If you can answer yes to any of these questions, then Monkey Puzzle is the place for you!
