Monkey Puzzle - more than a nursery

On March 17th 2002, Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries launched their very first childcare setting in Hertfordshire. For owners Mark and Rebecca Crosby it was the beginning of a hugely successful journey into the day nurseries industry. This dynamic husband and wife team are the originators of the nursery franchise, pioneering and delivering this highly successful concept over 17 years ago.

Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries has now grown to over 60 childcare settings nationwide, to create the UK’s largest childcare franchise network and the 3rd largest childcare provider overall.

The business works closely with passionate and committed nursery owners, supporting them with the delivery of high-quality childcare.

All of our nurseries are designed to offer a bright, airy and stimulating environment for our children to thrive in. Each age group has their own dedicated room, tailored to meet their own very individual requirements.

Today, Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries work closely with parents, staff and Ofsted to deliver childcare of the highest quality, providing children with unlimited opportunities to learn, develop and grow within a safe, secure and caring environment.

Day nurseries and settings are specifically designed to meet the needs of babies and young children. With large, bright open plan rooms, creative outdoor play areas and a variety of modern equipment providing children with a stimulating environment in which to thrive.

The group currently consists of over 60 day nurseries with new locations to be added in the next 12 months.
