Welcome to Monkey Puzzle Stratford-upon-Avon

Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery in Stratford-upon-Avon is a beautiful nursery setting with fantastic indoor and outdoor facilities. We are conveniently located on Aintree Road, just off the B439 Evesham Road, with ample parking and just one mile from the centre of town, making us perfect for people working in and around the local area .

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 3 to 18 months, tweenies, aged 18 months to 28 months, and toddlers, aged 28 to 40 months, and lastly preschool, aged 40 to 60 months. Due to our rooms being equipped especially for these ages, we are able to provide that home-from-home feel.

Hello. I’m Hazel and I am the Monkey Puzzle Stratford-upon-Avon Nursery Manager. We love our nursery and the relationships we have with all our children. We are dedicated to giving them all the best start in life through our care and the fantastic learning environment that we provide for them. I would love to welcome and show you around our beautiful nursery setting so please get in touch.

Last week, the Toddlers and Preschool classes enjoyed a visit from Zoolab. During this exciting session, they explored the story "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" and got to meet various fascinating animals, including an:

African land snail,

Millipede,

Hissing cockroach,

Tree frog,

Tarantula,

Corn snake,

Rat.

The children learned how to handle each animal safely and were reminded of the importance of handwashing after touching them. We are proud of their respect for the animals and their enthusiasm in trying something new.
