At Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery, we don’t have any hidden extras. Our fees include everything from freshly served meals, to nappies, wipes and creams and please be assured that we only use premium brand products.
Fees
Our prices are in line with local nurseries in the area and include extras such as nappies, wipes, creams and extra classes such as Stretch and Grow and music. Unlike some settings, we do not charge extra for babies, our rates are the same across all age groups.
You can call the manager or email to enquire about charges for:
- Morning sessions: 7.30am up to 1pm
- Afternoon sessions: 1pm up to 6.30pm
- Full day session: 7.30am up to 6.30pm
Please note that we do not provide school hours only and the sessions are restricted to these three options due to staffing arrangements.
We accept all childcare vouchers and Tax Free credit. We offer a 10% sibling discount and a 5% NHS discount. Only one discount at a time can be applied.
We reserve the right to alter these terms. Please contact us if you have any questions or different requirements.

There is a refundable deposit of £150 for a part time and £300 for a full time place.

Universal 15 hour funding for 3 & 4 year olds
As a small nursery, we only offer the universal 15 hours FEEE. Funded only places are available on a first come, first served basis. For all other places, your child needs to attend at least 4 sessions at the nursery to receive 12 of the funded hours free and at least 5 sessions for the full 15 hours.
Up to 30 hour government funding for 3 & 4 year olds
Working parents may be eligible for up to 30 hours a week (stretched over 51 weeks). This entitlement is means tested by the Local Authority. To see if you are eligible for this and for more information, visit www.childcarechoices.gov.uk. If you find you are eligible, you must obtain a code from the Local Authority yourself, and provide to the Nursery. Funded only places are available on a first come, first served basis. There are no funded only places available at the moment as they are on a first come first served basis.
Emergency back up care
We also offer Emergency back up care. Please get in touch if you are looking for temporary childcare.
Discounts
We offer a 10% sibling discount on the older child
We offer a 5% discount for NHS employees
Holidays
The Nursery is open 51 weeks of the year. We close between Christmas and New Year and Bank Holidays. We also close for 2 inset (staff training) days per year. This gives us the time required to train our staff to the highest possible standard, ensuring best practice for your child and ongoing professional development for our practitioners.
As standard across privately run nurseries, you are still liable to pay if you are on holiday, if your child is sick and for bank holidays/inset days as per terms and conditions. This is because you are charged at a 51 week rate a year as opposed to 52 weeks so you make up the time across the year.
