Enquire with Monkey Puzzle

The very youngest children at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery High Wycombe spend their time in our specially designed Babies’ room, welcoming children from the age of three months to two years old. The entire space is created with all their needs in mind and built as the perfect environment for them to begin to explore the world around them.

We are passionate about taking care of your babies

While with us, babies are looked after by a dedicated and specially trained team of individuals. Each member of staff will care directly for no more than three children at any one time. This enables staff to provide the intimate care your child needs, understanding them as an individual. Doing this also helps staff to work in partnership with your parenting and continue routines from home.

In addition, your baby’s development is focused on three prime areas. These are:

  • Physical development
  • Communication and language
  • Personal, social and emotional development

Not only do we focus on these key areas, but we also weave development through your child’s day. We achieve this by talking and role-modelling with them during their play, for example. The care that Monkey Puzzle High Wycombe delivers ensures the environment that our babies stay in is stimulating and warm, full of interaction and play.

Babies receive a high level of intimate care through a daily routine that enables this, and through the awareness and genuine care of your baby’s key person. Your baby’s day will include:

  • Regular nappy changes, with genuine care and attention to your child’s specific needs
  • Essential sleep and rest, initially supporting your home routine and supporting your child to find their nursery rhythm
  • Continuously observing their needs, we wipe noses, clean hands and apply creams and lotions, making sure they are as comfortable as possible

As they grow, they are also introduced to four specific areas that build their growing curiosity for the world around them. These are:

  • Literacy
  • Mathematics
  • Understanding the world
  • Expressive art and design
