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.

Following our staff inset day on Monday 2nd September, I would like to share with you what training we delivered to our team and what impact this will have on the Nursery.
At Monkey Puzzle, Safeguarding is at the forefront of our minds, and we empower our staff to speak up and speak out if they have a concern. We question daily regarding safeguarding and look at different scenarios in our monthly team meeting, along with yearly training online from an external provider. On Monday, we refreshed our teams’ knowledge on whistleblowing and went more in depth on other key safeguarding topics. Our team are confident and secure on what steps to take if they have a concern regarding a member of staff or a child and know what to do if they need to escalate their concern. The training delivered will support our continuation of a “culture of safeguarding” that we are so proud to uphold.
Curriculum training was delivered to the whole team, with an emphasis on various philosophies, pedagogy, child development and theorists. They discussed how the curriculum is to be tailored for the needs of all children within their rooms and to be ambitious with their goals to maintain a high standard of quality teaching across the Nursery.
We finished the day with some well-being training to allow the staff to take charge of their own mental well-being and how to communicate effectively when they need help or support within their work or personal lives. Thank-you to Helen for delivering such a lovely training session and letting us smell some different essential oils! ... See MoreSee Less

💚ECO FRIENDLY💚
Tracie has been working extremely hard behind the scenes to help Monkey Puzzle Tunbridge Wells to be come an accredited Eco-Schools Green Flag Winner! We couldn't be prouder of you, Tracie!
Below are a few words from Tracie to explain in further detail what she has been up to!
⬇⬇⬇⬇
Dear parents and carers,
I’m Tracie, I’m a member within the preschool room. I am passionate about looking at ways to support childrens understanding of how to be eco-friendly and alongside Jo, we have spent the last couple of months brainstorming different ideas to becoming eco-friendly.
We have been working in partnership with Eco - Schools and the Keep Britain Tidy campaign and we are proud to share that we have been recognised as a Green Flag winner for our excellence in improving sustainability and environmental learning in our nursery.
We have selected 3 main areas for us to focus on over the next 12 months to continue to develop in our nursery.
1. Biodiversity
2. Nursery grounds
3. Waste
Each area has a set goal in mind. Every room will focus on exploring the child’s understanding of the topics, creating lessons and activities that are suitable for all ages and abilities. Over the next few months I will continue to update you with our progress, invite you to join us in events within the setting but to also explore ways of becoming eco friendly within your own homes.
I hope with your support we can strive to better our setting and create a positive change.
Have a wonderful rest of the week.
Tracie

Our Investigators room is ever changing and evolving....this week is no exception. Introducing our new cosy corner!
This cosy area has been designed with the children's development in mind and will be used to encourage the children to self regulate, explore their senses and to relax. 🩵

Glad to see the cushion in place, maybe Holly will bring other one tomorrow
Yesterday some of the babies from the explorers room took a stroll down to the local library to visit the Lego Dinosaur Exhibition! 🦖
We started by looking through lots of different stories and the babies were so excited for their turn to take a walk through the exhibition. We did lots of looking, pointing and roaring!🦖
