Welcome to Monkey Puzzle Tunbridge Wells

Monkey Puzzle Tunbridge Wells is located at 32-34, St Johns Road, Tunbridge Wells. Our nursery is close to the A26 and only a short drive from Tunbridge Wells train station, making us perfect for families working in the local area or commuting to the town centre.

Our friendly and supportive management and team provide a family feel and a home from home approach to childcare focusing on lots of love, nurture and care as priorities alongside our child centred curriculum.

We are proud of creating lots of bright, beautiful and exciting spaces for the children to play and explore providing the highest quality childcare to children aged from 3 months to 5 years.

We take great pride in being part of the vibrant town of Tunbridge Wells and are looking forward to extending and creating further links within the local community with Primary schools and additional services to further support our families with local exciting opportunities.

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 three to twelve months, toddlers from 12 to 24 months & toddlers aged 24 months to 36 months, and lastly preschool aged three to five years. Due to our rooms being equipped especially for these ages, we are able to provide that home-from-home feel.

We are very lucky to have extensive outdoor spaces in the nursery and a separate area for both babies and the older children to play and explore. Our outdoor environment offers a rich multi-sensory environment that is full of fun, stimulating and motivating activities for the children and we have specifically created indoor garden areas so all the children are able to enjoy the outdoors all year round.

Hello. I’m Arlind and I am the Owner of Monkey Puzzle Tunbridge Wells. My team and I are dedicated to and passionate about giving every child the best start in life by caring for and supporting them to play, learn and grow in a positive and stimulating environment.

I would love to welcome and show you around our beautiful nursery setting so please get in touch.

Last week some of our pre-schoolers took a nice stroll into Tunbridge Wells town to visit the war memorial and see the Poppy wreaths. The children commented on the bright colours! 💂‍♀️
After visiting the memorial, we stopped by into Dennysplacebarbers!💈 Storm, the owner, let us have a turn on the chair and even let some of us try the capes on! This led to a bigger conversation about self care and hygiene, discussing if we brush our own hair, if we brush our teeth and we even discussed if we had been to the barbers/hairdressers before!💇‍♀️💇 Thank-you Storm, we will definitely be back soon! 🐻❤

Absolute pleasure to have you all. The children were so well behaved! Some children can find having a haircut scary and so bringing them in even for a "pretend" haircut can really put them at ease. We are always here to help children settle into having a haircut. We might even have some treats on the Christmas tree soon!! 😊

Made our day to have such wonderful, confident, curious children in the shop 😊

Looks like fun xx

💛CHILDREN IN NEED💛

Today we helped to support Children In Need by wearing our pyjamas, baking cakes, doing lots of arts and crafts and having a cake sale. 🍰

Across the Nursery, we had many Pudsey bear activities such as feed Pudsey, pin the bandage on Pudsey, making cakes, using lots of colours in our art work to make polka dots and the babies even helped to drizzle coloured icing onto a cake. 🐻

We cant wait to continue to support Children In Need tomorrow!

I just wanted to say thankyou for the management for allowing the cake stall, thank you to all staff for contributing and making amazing activities and most importantly thank you to all the parents of Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Tunbridge Wells that supports the nusery in such a positive way. We all really appreciate it xx

⭐Happy 1 year Sophia!⭐

Sophia is our baby room lead and always works hard to provide unique and "out of the box" activities for the babies. 👶

🤩Sophia leads by example and shows excellent leadership particularly showing care for the apprentices, a quote from one of her team "Sophia is always supportive of me." What lovely feedback and we totally agree! 🤩

Sophia enjoys walking her dogs in her free time and we know it can be a bit chilly out there....so a scarf was the only option! 🐶

Thank-you for being a star Sophia, we value all your hard work and we love to see you shine!🐵♥

👩‍🍳COOKING CLASS👩‍🍳

Our Pre-school children thoroughly enjoyed cooking with Emma last week and they were delighted to make some tasty bread rolls!🍞
The children helped Emma to measure, weigh and mix the dough, they particularly enjoyed rolling the dough out and getting their hands nice and messy!
They were rather tasty if we do say so ourself! 😍
We cannot wait for our next cooking lesson.🤩

Yesterday, the investigators room popped into the town to post some letters!✉️ They were super excited to see all the shops along the way. They stopped off to smell the flowers, to look at the colourful stationery, wave to the barbers and to went into the sewing shop where the kind man let us spin the sewing machine!🤩

The best bit of course, was handing over our letters to the man in the post office! We had so much fun exploring and cannot wait for our next trip out!🥰

A few of our fabulous tuff trays from last week!

Our team love to set up exciting and inviting tuff trays for the children, especially if they can use natural resources such as flowers. 🌹 Each tuff tray has a learning intention behind it, based on the childrens personal interests, along with their own individual next steps. 👣

Fun facts about tuff trays:
1. Tuff trays don't just have to be for messy play! 🎨
2. They are moveable, so can be used on the floor, on a stand or on the table tops.👍
3. Tuff trays can be used for any age group, including for our younger babies during tummy time. 👶🏼
4. Historically, tuff trays were called builders trays due to builders mixing materials on them!🏗

Can you guess the intent behind each of these tuff trays?

Yesterday, the discoverers room went on a little trip to Tesco to buy some satsumas to have with their snack! 🍊

The children explored lots of the different fruits and vegetables, pointing, saying colours and attempting to say the names. The children were delighted to take turns to use the self checkout and found using the contactless payment card so funny! "Beep beep" said the toddlers!💳

Once back at the Nursery, the toddlers begun to show such wonderful independence by peeling their satsumas and helping to prepare their own snack! Food always tastes better when you have bought and prepared it yourself👍🏻

🏠Home learning prompt - Can you support your child to become more involved in the kitchen by setting up opportunities for them to prepare their own snacks? This could be peeling/chopping fruit, spreading butter onto their bread or mixing ingredients together when cooking! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳
