Love to Learn, Learn to Live, Live to Love

At Monkey Puzzle Hartley Wintney, we offer outstanding facilities and an exceptional level of care for children aged from 3 months through to when they leave us to go to school. Our fantastic team ensures that children have an inspiring environment in which to learn and develop.

We take pride in everything we do. From the moment a child starts with us until they leave to start their next journey at school, we get to know each one individually and welcome each family wholly.

Learning and development is at the forefront of our minds, and this is enhanced within the ‘home from home’ environment of the nursery. We are constantly developing an exceptional environment for learning so that children will never cease to grow. Our children learn skills for life, and can learn through inspiring play where our dedicated and amazing staff guide the children to become confident, independent and happy individuals with a positive outlook and a love for life.

We are conveniently located on the east side of Hartley Wintney, just off the A30 and accessed from the quiet Hulfords Lane.

Our beautiful building features dedicated rooms for our various age ranges and each room reflects the seven areas of learning, as outlined in the Early Years Foundation Stage. All of our facilities are designed to be accessible to every child.

Hello. We are Cherry and Sue, and we are the owners of Monkey Puzzle Hartley Wintney. Our team is dedicated to giving every child the best start in life by caring for and supporting them to play, learn and grow in a positive and stimulating environment.

We would love to welcome and show you around our beautiful nursery setting so please get in touch.

Today marks the start of Autism Acceptance Week, which runs from 2nd to 8th April.

Autism is a lifelong developmental disability which affects how people communicate and interact with the world. More than one in 100 people are on the autism spectrum and there are around 700,000 autistic adults and children in the UK.

Autism Acceptance Week has particular importance for us at Monkey Puzzle Hartley Wintney, not only due to the fact that Cherry, the nursery owner, has an autistic son and therefore experiences first hand some of the challenges that can be faced by an autistic child; but also for the neurodivergent children, past and present, and their families who we have supported, and for neurodivergent members of our team whose unique way of thinking we embrace!

This week reminds us of the diverse experiences and perspectives that enrich our world. It's an opportunity to celebrate the uniqueness of individuals and reinforce our commitment to creating an inclusive society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. ❤️

Happy Easter Sunday from everyone at Monkey Puzzle Hartley Wintney.

Easter is the most important festival in the Christian calendar. It celebrates Jesus rising from the dead, three days after he was executed. ⛪️

The children have been busy over the past couple of weeks learning about the meaning behind Easter, and carrying out activities around eggs 🥚, chicks 🐣, bonnets , chocolate 🍫 and other subjects connected to Easter.

We hope that however you observe the day, you are enjoying the extended weekend.
