A nursery day should give children opportunities to discover what they enjoy, try something new and grow in confidence. At Monkey Puzzle Streatham Common, we invest in extra-curricular activities as part of the experience we offer our children.
Music, movement, cooking and language give children different ways to express themselves and learn alongside their friends. These activities add variety to nursery life while supporting the skills children develop every day, from communication and coordination to creativity and confidence.
MiniJam
MiniJam brings music to life through singing, instruments, movement and imaginative play. Children can explore sounds and rhythms, express themselves and enjoy making music together. The sessions support listening, language and coordination in a way that feels like play.
Kids Fit Club
Kids Fit Club gives children the chance to move, play and try a range of sport-based activities. As they practise new skills and take part with others, they build coordination, confidence and teamwork.
La Ola Spanish
La Ola Spanish introduces children to a new language through stories, imagination, movement and play. Its lively sessions encourage children to listen, join in and enjoy exploring Spanish words and sounds.
Marvin’s Mini Chefs
Marvin’s Mini Chefs gives children the chance to explore food through hands-on cooking activities. As they investigate ingredients, discover different tastes and practise measuring and mixing, they develop fine motor skills, curiosity and confidence. Cooking also creates opportunities to talk, count and work together.
