What Makes Us Special
Mini Monkeys Cooking
Our “Mini Monkeys Cooking with the Chef” sessions are a fun, hands-on experience where children get to explore the world of cooking in a safe and engaging environment. Each session encourages the discovery of healthy ingredients, measuring and mixing, and developing fine motor skills—all while having a blast creating their own tasty treats. Beyond cooking, these sessions promote teamwork, creativity, and confidence, giving children a sense of achievement as they see (and taste!) the results of their efforts.
Inspiring Outdoor Spaces
Our unique outdoor environment covers all seven areas of learning, giving children the freedom to explore, play, and develop essential skills in a natural and stimulating setting. Outdoor play becomes a powerful part of how children grow, learn, and connect with their surroundings.
School Readiness & Early Learning
At Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery and Preschool Aylesbury, your child benefits from the expertise of a qualified teacher with extensive experience in supporting children with SEND. Our small group sessions are carefully designed to give each child personalized attention, building confidence, independence, and key skills to prepare them for school. With a nurturing and supportive approach, we ensure that every child’s unique learning needs are met, helping them thrive both academically and socially as they take their first steps toward a successful school journey.
Strong Community & Family Connections
We work closely with parents, support agencies, and our wider community to create a nurturing environment where every child can flourish. From SEND partnerships to charity fundraisers, and with thoughtfully planned, nutritious meals, families can trust that their children are cared for emotionally, socially, and physically.
Our children also enjoy regular outings in the local community, exploring parks, shops, and nearby attractions. These adventures bring learning to life, helping children develop curiosity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of the world around them, while encouraging physical activity, social skills, and a love for the outdoors.

Diwali celebrations was in full swing last week. The children explored mixing colours, creating diya lights, firework pictures and henna designs. This prompted the children to challenge their fine motor skills and learn about different cultures. Our lovely Priya cooked an amazing traditional Indian chicken curry. The children (and staff) thoroughly enjoyed this. If you would like to try cooking it yourself at home, I have attached the link below...

Butterflies went on a Autumn walk this week to collect autumnal objects. It would have been rude not to visit the park on our way back! 🌿🍂🍁

Another busy day in Butterflies! The children loved making potions (and getting very messy), testing their balancing skills and measuring different objects in the maths area.
