Last week some of the children from Starfish and Dolphins enjoyed a trip to the park. The children enjoyed going on the swings, slide and roundabout. It is lovely to be able to take the children on outings and allowing them to explore outside of the nursery!🌞 ... See MoreSee Less

Here at Monkey Puzzle Nursery, there has been a hive of activity this week as our children prepare something amazing and surprising for their daddies and male members of their families, All the children have taken part in this activity and have created some wonderful cards with dinosaur prints as their dads are awesome! Some with a trophy’s on as their dads are Number 1, some with superhero’s on as their dads are their hero’s and some with rockets on as they love their dads to the moon and back! The younger children were playing with small world figures in foam that represented different jobs that their daddies do and also looking at themselves in mirrors to see if they looked like their daddies. These are a lovely memento made for them by their children for them to keep😊 ... See MoreSee Less

Today at Monkey Puzzle we were lucky enough to have a visit from a couple of dentists (one of our lovely mum’s, many thanks), they showed us how to clean our teeth properly and how important it is to do this at least twice a day every day. They talked about what to expect when you visit the dentist, how it looks and smells.
All the children were then given some samples of toothpaste and toothbrushes to practice with along with some stationary for the children to use. Everyone got a sticker to show how well they all did 😊
Great visit, thank you very much for coming in to see us! ... See MoreSee Less

The children at Monkey Puzzle were getting ready to say a sad farewell to all of our lovely ducklings, as on Friday they were going off to their forever homes.
We have been extremely lucky to have shared in their journey so far, having seen them break out of their shells and develop into little characters of their own. It has been a pleasure to learn about their progress and development.
The children have really loved having the ducklings in nursery and wish them a long and happy life out on the farm along with lots of other animal friends.
Goodbye to Daisy, Coral, Reef, Ron & Teddy ... See MoreSee Less

A visit from the armed forces.
Yesterday the children in coral reef were lucky enough to have a visit from Craig who spoke all about his job as a soldier. The children were able to learn about all the important pieces of equipment that Craig uses when he is at work and what each one is used for, the children were even able to try it on. The children asked lots of questions including "Why do you need to wear a hat?" "What do you put in your bag?" and "is your bed comfortable?" The children were then able to test out where Craig sleeps although many of them didn't find it very comfortable! Throughout the rest of the day the children enjoyed creating different pictures of soldiers as well as pretending to be soldiers themselves when out in the garden. ... See MoreSee Less
