Our Lightwater nursery was proudly named a finalist at the prestigious Education Property Awards in the Early Years Project of the Year category – a national recognition that places it among the very best education-led developments in the UK.

As housing developments continue to reshape towns and cities across the UK, demand for childcare is growing alongside them.

A proud moment for our network: Stoke Newington nursery assistant Geraldine Brandan has won Newcomer of the Year at the NMT Nursery Awards, showcasing the impact of great training and supportive teams.

Why are more working mums turning to early years franchising? Grace Cole shares how franchising can offer purpose, flexibility and the backing of a trusted brand — without losing ambition.

Monkey Puzzle has partnered with Registered Nutritionist Laura Matthews to launch a vibrant new menu — expertly crafted, fully DfE-compliant and child-approved across our nursery network.

Childcare funding shouldn’t feel like a maze. Jamie Ross explains how Monkey Puzzle is supporting franchisees with clear, parent-friendly resources — including a funding guide and new calculator.

A proud moment for our network: franchisee Vjollca Niklekaj has opened Monkey Puzzle Kingston — her second setting — expanding high-quality early years education across southwest London.

A standout success story from our network: sisters Davinder Dhaliwal and Sharon Chawal have grown from first-time franchisees to multi-unit owners, now operating Sidcup and Charlton.

Fifteen years on, Monkey Puzzle Billericay remains one of the longest-established settings in our network — built by two couples with a shared goal: create a nursery they’d be proud to send their own children to.

Growth in action: our Stoke Newington setting has expanded with a dedicated preschool building — supporting school transitions, meeting local demand and investing in team development.

This summer, our network is sparking big imagination with Little Dreamers, Big Futures — themed activities, storytelling and community moments designed to help children dream boldly.

A proud milestone for our network: Monkey Puzzle Walton-on-Thames celebrates five years — with a Forest School launching in April and a special summer event planned for families and staff.
