Play, learn and grow
with Monkey Puzzle

Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Angel provides a secure and caring environment for children aged 3 months to 5 years to learn and grow. Our aim is for every child to be happy and healthy, enjoying their early years at the Nursery and for parents to have peace of mind that their children are in excellent hands.

We, the Kent Family, would like to welcome you to our nursery. We started our journey in 2013 with a small team at Monkey Puzzle Highbury, our very first nursery. We spent our time in the classrooms, learning and growing with our first groups of children about how to give them the very best start in life. Through attentive care and teamwork we were able to achieve the highest OFSTED grade, “Outstanding” in all areas at our first inspection.

Now Geoff, Wendy, Rik, Ant and Mike run 4 Outstanding Monkey Puzzle Nurseries in Islington and St Albans together with our extended family – the wonderful teams of dedicated practitioners that we work with. In early 2022, we are so excited to grow our family again with Monkey Puzzle Melody Lane, which will be run to the same high standards with our vision to “inspire children to change tomorrow’s world”.

Our Nursery Setting – Monkey Puzzle Angel

Monkey Puzzle Angel is set in a beautifully renovated space adjoining Cross Street Baptist Church in the heart of Islington. The nursery enjoys floods of natural light through the arched windows and has an open plan design which creates a vibrant and bright space, the high vaulted ceiling feature originally restored character beams which give a real sense of historical majesty when you enter.

The nursery space features modern renovations to create a bespoke childcare facility featuring two mezzanine’s and light oak balustrades. The glass panelling through the rooms provide great visibility through the nursery and create a sense of space and brightness. There is also a large courtyard garden space to the rear of the nursery, which has been specifically designed for the children with soft surfaces and a customised buggy store.

The nursery itself has been purposefully designed from scratch to provide a light and airy space for the children to learn and grow in a safe a secure environment. Each room is divided into classroom areas, rich with resources and our inspirational team of childcare professionals are passionate about creating an early love of learning for all children.
