Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Portsmouth South is conveniently located along Elm Grove in central Southsea. We are close to Portsmouth University, Guildhall square, Gunwharf Quays and Palmerston Road precinct. We also have the added benefit of being within a mile of the hovercraft terminal, Portsmouth's two main train stations and the Gosport ferry.
The old Kings Church site has been renovated to create a bright, spacious, open plan environment beyond our shop front exterior. We provide outstanding facilities for children aged 3 months through to pre-school age and we are registered with Ofsted. We have dedicated rooms for our various age ranges and each room reflects the seven areas of learning, as prescribed in the Early Years Foundation Stage.

Our non-mobile and mobile babies benefit from the large, bright, open plan day room, and dedicated sensory room, well equipped with the latest in sensory equipment to test their senses and encourage development.

At Monkey Puzzle day nursery we strongly believe that a healthy, balanced diet is essential for growth and development in under 5's. This prompted us to consult with a paediatric nutritionist to formulate a menu that will help give your child the best start in life. Where possible, all our food is organic and has won The Healthy Eating Under 5's Award.
All children at Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries are encouraged to learn through play.

A fantastic nursery, a wonderful caring team and management who I fully trust. Both our children have been going since 9 months to preschool age and have always been looked after with warmth and seen as their own little personalities and interests. The team is really dedicated and interested in supporting the development of each child and also conforms well to individual needs. Preschool children are prepped really well for the school start and our son had an easy transition.
