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.

When you ask yourself, what’s the best nursery near me, come and see us as we believe it’s Monkey Puzzle Orpington!

Hello. I’m Arlind and I am the owner of Monkey Puzzle Orpington. My team and I are dedicated to creating an outstanding environment that gives every child the best start in life, caring for and supporting them to play, learn and grow in a space where they can thrive.

Christmas carols was a great success! Our lovely pre-schoolers sang with so much passion and commitment! From group songs to makaton and even finishing the day off with some solos! Thank you to everyone who was able to come down to the Orpington Methodist Church for this event.

It's been said that "one of the greatest gifts an adult can give to a child, is to read to them".

In our Toddler room Steph has given the children and extension on this gift, and we are so grateful! She has created some amazing props for the toddlers to enjoy while reading some of their favorite books!
