Really happy with monkey puzzle nursery! It’s brand new, the staff are lovely and I found it a great learning environment for my son. I’m really fussy about how clean a place is and having observed their nappy changing station and kitchen facilities , I was impressed, so great to have such a good nursery in our area, check it out, highly recommend it.

A nursery school where young children grow their minds through play. My young cousins love attending this school. They return each day excited to tell their parents about their day. The ratio of teachers versus small class size ensures each child gets specialized attention. There are adequate parking facilities available in the front of the school.
