Every day at Monkey Puzzle is full of new things to try. Our extra-curricular activities aren’t extras tacked onto the side they’re stitched right through the week, giving every child the chance to sing, stretch, cook, build, explore and discover.

Each session is shaped around the Early Years Foundation Stage and the Curiosity Approach, so play always has a purpose. Children build confidence, coordination, language and social skills almost without realising they’re learning. Sessions are gentle enough for our youngest babies and lively enough to keep older preschoolers fully engaged.

We work with trusted specialists qualified musical theatre teachers, yoga instructors, sports coaches and language tutors who visit each week to lead their sessions. Every child gets a turn, and every age group has something tailored to where they are.

Shakers KIDS  is a dance and movement class which allows the children to learn all aspects of the EYFS through fun and engaging music and movement. The children all enjoy Shakers as they bring new music, props and energy each week to capture the attention and listening skills of the class each week. We have seen a positive impact Shakers Kids has on the development of the Toddlers.
