Welcome to Monkey Puzzle Nursery and Preschool Streatham Common 

Monkey Puzzle West Norwood and Streatham Common nurseries and preschools are part of an award-winning nursery group, offering high quality childcare in our specially equipped nurseries for children aged three months to five years old.  We recognise the critical role early childhood plays in a child’s overall growth and future success.

We offer your children the chance to learn and play in calming surroundings which have been specifically designed to create a loving, homely and safe environment for your child. Our focus centres on providing a nurturing environment that stimulates children’s development, fosters their well-being, and helps them thrive both emotionally and intellectually.

We aim to raise the bar and push childcare standards to new heights for nurseries in SW16. We aspire to be the best nursery and best preschool in Streatham and have had great success in ensuring all our children are fully prepared for when they eventually graduate to their next school.

The nursery was chosen for its perfect location, in a safe and secure location directly opposite Streatham Common allowing us easy access to the large outdoor space every day. We are great lovers of the outdoors, we love a nature trail as well as organising fun and exciting multi sport activities with fantastic extracurricular activity providers like Totstars coaches to keep children engaged and stimulated. Inside our beautifully transformed nursery, we can offer new, high-quality learning resources and developmental principles.

All of our rooms and resources are designed to offer a safe and secure environment for your little one to develop and learn through play. We have dedicated rooms for our age ranges and each room reflects the seven areas of learning, as prescribed in the Early Years Foundation Stage. All of our facilities are designed to be accessible to every child.

My name is Sheena Patel. I am a dedicated mother, qualified physiotherapist and the owner of Monkey Puzzle Streatham Common and Monkey Puzzle West Norwood.

Becoming a mum ten years ago made me reconsider my career aspirations. I watched my children develop and grow and my experience was eye-opening, igniting my passion for early years learning. When looking for a nursery, I always felt they could do more and provide better opportunities for my children. This motivated me to open my own nursery, aiming to create a special place where families could get the same inspirational childcare that I wanted for my children.

Young children thrive on care and attention. They give so much love back when you are part of this positive experience. I promise you Streatham Common will give this to your children like they were our own. We want you to have the peace of mind that your little ones will be given everything they need to learn, develop and thrive. My nursery is the place I would have wanted my children to learn and grow in. I know that if you come in and visit, you will think the same. Please get in contact with us. We would love to welcome you into our family.

Generally, as children progress through education their level of active participation in sport, or other physical activities, tends to significantly decrease. This might be due to spending more time focusing on other areas of academia, or the lack of access to or sometimes they tend to prefer to spend more time attached to a screen. We feel it is important to instil the significance of an active lifestyle in our children as part of their physiological growth, but also as a foundation for general health and well-being in the future. ...

Toddlers at Monkey Puzzle Streatham Common ✨

At Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Streatham Common, between the ages of 2 years and 3 years old, children are welcomed into and enjoy a space in Toddlers that matches their inquisitiveness and energy. The space is filled with well-considered furnishings and learning resources that are accessible to them at all times.

Your Toddlers day will include:

- Regular nappy changes, and support to become toilet confident.

- Essential sleep and rest, often after a full belly. We have space for those children that need a sleep and space for those still full of energy and curiosity.
