Welcome to Monkey Puzzle Orpington

Welcome to Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Orpington, located at Rowan House, 64 Sevenoaks Road, Orpington, Kent BR6 9JL. Our nursery is located close to the High Street in the town centre and is only a short walk from Orpington training station, making us perfect for families working in the local area or commuting in and out of London.

Our Orpington nursery provides a nurturing home-from-home environment, for children aged 3 months through to pre-school age. With an emphasis on learning through play, our carefully selected team of practitioners ensure your child is cared for in a safe, secure environment with planned activities to keep them engaged whilst having lots of fun.

We have dedicated rooms for our various age ranges and each room reflects the seven areas of learning, as prescribed in the Early Years Foundation Stage. All of our facilities are designed to be accessible to every child.

We are part of an award-winning nursery group, offering high quality childcare in our specially equipped nursery for children aged three months to five years old.

Adding to this, we tailor our care to suit your child’s age. We achieve this by placing children into the following age categories: babies aged 3 to 12 monthstoddlers aged 12 months to 2 years and toddlers aged between 2 and 3 years old and lastly preschool aged three years plus. Due to our rooms being equipped especially for these ages, we are able to provide that home-from-home feel.

Little babies have been busy exploring paint, they have been making their display board for their book corner with their favourite song '5 cheeky monkey's' and look at our budding artists. We can't wait t see the finished board.

This week pre-school wanted to make some fruit kebabs and for this they needed some different types of fruit and where is the best place for them to buy some fruit...you guessed it...Tesco.
So the pre-schoolers put on their coats, borrowed Jo's club card and set off down to Tesco to buy the fruit of their choice, they chose apples, pineapples, blueberries, mangos, strawberries to name but a few.
Along the way the children & staff spoke about why it's important to eat lots of fruit and vegetables; they also spoke about walking being very good exercise; and that the big black and white lines on the floor are the only place to cross the road safely.

Well done everyone.

Big cook, Little cook is back... 🧑‍🍳

This week our cook Donna has been busy making biscuits with some rather talented mini cooks.
They have been pouring and weighing and mixing and rolling and made some very tasty biscuits.
Well done pre-school.

Amazing ❤️💙

Happy new year everyone 😃🎉

Here is a little round up of what we have been getting up to this week across the nursery.
Babies have been busy exploring different types of messy play using paint, cars, dabbers and sand play.
Toddlers have been learning why it is important to look after your teeth and brushing them twice a day, they have also been getting very messy using paint and shaving foam.
Pre-school have been learning about space and the planets, their left hand from their right hand, numbers and quantities and writing their names.
What a busy week it's been.
