What Makes Us Special

Holistic early years approach

Monkey Puzzle Horsham takes a holistic approach to learning guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage framework (EYFS). Our team inspire through excellence in Early Years education placing the development and needs of the children we care for at the heart of everything we do. Nursery and preschool is a time when a child learns about themselves as much as the world around them. We enable this through the magic of learning through play and encouraging curiosity that stimulates the mind and body of children.

Sending our daughter to nursery for the first time was a big decision, and we couldn't be happier with our choice of Monkey Puzzles Nursery . From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are truly exceptional.

E C (Mother of Child)

My 1-year-old child started at Monkey Puzzle at the beginning of January. I was really worried about leaving him for the first time but I am absolutely delighted with how he has settled and how warm and welcoming three members of staff in particular and the rest of the team have been.

F D (Father of Child)

My 2-year-old has been attending Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery in Horsham for a couple of months now, and she absolutely loves it! The staff are incredibly friendly, caring, and attentive, making sure every child feels welcome and comfortable. The management team is also fantastic.

Our child started at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery in October 2024, she has learnt so much in a relatively short amount of time which is testament to the staff and management. The premises is absolutely brilliant, they have a huge selection of educational activities and a really lovely outside

At Monkey Puzzle Horsham, creativity doesn’t always start with paintbrushes… sometimes it starts with a delivery box 📦🎨

Using everyday objects in play helps children see the world differently - a simple box can become a canvas, a rocket, a shop, or whatever their imagination decides. Outdoor painting like this encourages problem-solving, independence and confidence, while showing children that creativity can be found anywhere.

There’s something special about taking creativity outdoors. Painting in the fresh air gives children the freedom to explore colours, textures and ideas in their own way - building confidence, imagination and independence with every brushstroke. 💛
