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.
With Toddlers growing independence, at times their desire to play and move is greater than their sense of wellbeing. With a high level of adult interaction we are close enough to support your child, ensuring they are comfortable and healthy.
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.
- Continuously observing their needs, supporting with wiping of noses and cleaning of hands, making sure they are as comfortable as possible to have as much fun as possible
To find out more about the care we provide for toddlers, head over to our website: monkeypuzzlestreathamcommon.co.uk/toddlers/
