*Received a really kind message from one of our amazing parents.*
Hi Manjit,
I wanted to let you know that tomorrow is Ayva's last day at Monkey Puzzle. Amardeep and I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to you, Sandy, and the wonderful MP team for the incredible support and care you’ve given Ayva since she joined at 8 months old. Monkey Puzzle has truly helped her flourish and achieve all her milestones, and she continues to cherish her time at the nursery and with the practitioners.
We are immensely grateful for everything you have done for our little girl, as it has played a significant role in shaping her early development.
Please do stay in touch.
Thank you ... See MoreSee Less

This week in Dolphin room we went on an adventure, we went camping! We had the best time ever, the Dolphin children cooked marshmallows on the fire, and we spoke about fire safety and how hot fire can hurt you, we touched the orange paper and said “ouch that’s really hot” we used our imagination and pretended the paper was fire and that it was really hot.
Later, we talked about what animals you might see when you are outside camping, all the children were very chatty and had a lot to say about the animals.
The children went inside our little tent and pretended to be asleep amongst the cushions, well done everyone for waiting patiently for your turn.
We read the book, “When we go camping” which we all loved, and we were very exited to know what’s coming on the next page. At the end of our camping experience we enjoyed listening to campfire music.
What a lovely time we all had at our camp site :-) ... See MoreSee Less

The pre school children were very good, listening attentively and paying a lot of interest in what the doctor was showing them and explaining to them. Well done pre school and thank you to our kind doctor. ... See MoreSee Less
