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.

Day 3 of our Sign Language Week posts, here's Luke teaching BSL to our Toddlers.

We like to start exposing the children to signing early in the Toddlers room, so that the they gain an understanding of why we learn it, and some basic words, before they move up preschool where it becomes more widely used in every day activities.

Our sign language book is always freely accessible to the room so that the little one's can practice whenever they like. 😊❤️

This week is Sign Language Week. It is celebrated every year in March to commemorate the first time British Sign Language (BSL) was acknowledged as a language in its own right by the UK Government on 18 March 2003.

Recognising this week is important for us at Monkey Puzzle Hartley Wintney, as we have children at our setting who communicate using BSL and it is therefore part of our every day life for the staff and children. The children in Squirrels and Owls room are taught BSL and practice it at every opportunity, such as communicating as a group and when learning songs.

To recognise this week, we will be posting daily videos and photos of our practitioners using BSL in songs, stories and common emotions. Jess kicks off our week of BSL videos with the 'Days of the Week' song. We sing this song with the Owls Room children using BSL every morning during registration.

It's amazing to see the children use BSL and it teaches them such an important message about inclusivity, ensuring all their friends can feel part of the group.

You can find out more about Sign Language Week, BSL as a language, and download some super resources from the SLW website here: www.signlanguageweek.org.uk

Our Hedgehogs Room used World Book Day to inspire their activities. 📖❤

We've had messy food play outside with Goldilocks And The Three Bears 🐻, and playdoh inspired by The Tiger Who Came To Tea 🐯.

Books not only educate and entertain, they inspire creativity exploration and play.
