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.

Lest We Forget ❤️

This morning preschool marked remembrance day by laying a poppy at the memorial. The children observed a 2 minute silence and listened to the last post.

In Flanders Fields

The poem by John McCrae

In Flanders' fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place: and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders' fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe;

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high,

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders' Fields.

This afternoon, our preschool enjoyed a delightful outing to a Halloween event at Stratford Racecourse! 🎃👻🐎 The children had a fantastic time with a range of activities, including watching exciting races and spooky dancers, as well as bouncing on the bouncy pirate ship. 🏴‍☠️They participated in a fun fancy dress competition and left with a bucket full of sweets! 🍭 Each child chose between having a balloon model made or getting their face painted. 🎈 A big thank you to Stratford Racecourse for hosting us today; we truly had an amazing experience!🏇 ...
