Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Streatham Common

Understanding emotions is an important part of growing up.

This week in our Preschool room, the children explored The Colour Monster Goes to School, using the different Colour Monsters to talk about feelings, emotions and how others might be feeling.

Together, the children discussed what each colour represented, shared their own ideas and explored ways they could help a friend who might be feeling sad, worried, angry or nervous.

Activities like this help children develop emotional awareness, communication skills and empathy, supporting them to build positive relationships and understand the feelings of others.

At Monkey Puzzle Streatham Common, we believe these early conversations play an important role in helping children grow in confidence, kindness and respect for those around them.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads, grandads, stepdads and father figures in our Monkey Puzzle family.

Thank you for the cuddles, the encouragement, the stories, the adventures and the special moments that help children feel loved, supported and confident as they grow.

We hope you have a wonderful day celebrating with your loved ones.

Happy Father's Day from all of us at Monkey Puzzle Streatham Common.

Choosing a nursery for your baby can feel overwhelming.

Will they settle?
Will they be happy?
Will they be looked after the way I would look after them?

These are the conversations we have with parents every day.

At Monkey Puzzle Streatham Common, we understand that choosing a nursery isn’t just about finding childcare. It’s about finding people you trust.

If you’re considering nursery for your little one, we’d love to welcome you for a visit and answer any questions you may have.

There's nothing better than seeing children run, explore, play and learn outdoors together.

If you're looking for a nursery in Streatham Common with plenty of space for outdoor adventures, we'd love to show you around.

Last week, our children enjoyed a wonderful visit from Mangotree Kids and The Jolly Djembe Club, bringing together music, storytelling, culture and exploration in a truly memorable experience.

From listening to African stories and discovering books that celebrate diversity, to exploring different cultural artefacts and joining in with drumming and rhythm activities, the children were encouraged to learn about the world around them through curiosity and play.

These experiences help children develop confidence, communication skills, respect for others and an understanding that every person, family and culture has a story worth celebrating.

At Monkey Puzzle Streatham Common, creating opportunities for children to explore different cultures and perspectives is an important part of how we live our G.R.A.I.N.S values, particularly Respect, Aspiration and Growth Mindset.

A huge thank you to Catherine and the Mangotree Kids team for inspiring such thoughtful conversations, joyful learning and lots of drumming fun 💛
