Here at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery and Preschool Ealing, we’re excited to be part of the nationwide Little Dreamers, Big Futures campaign taking place across the entire Monkey Puzzle network this summer.

At Monkey Puzzle Ealing, we know that the early years matter, especially the preschool stage. As part of our Power of Preschool campaign, we’re passionate about showing parents the true value of keeping children within the nurturing environment of a nursery-based preschool, rather than moving them into school settings too early.

As an Early Years Quality Manager, my role is to ensure that every child at Monkey Puzzle receives the best possible start to their educational journey.

A common question from parents is whether their child should leave nursery early to attend a local school preschool or stay with us until the end of their preschool years. While every child and family is unique, I believe there are several key benefits to staying at Monkey Puzzle before starting school.

Deciding whether to transition your child from a nursery to a preschool at a local school is a choice many parents face as their little ones approach school age. While the prospect of moving over to a school earlier can be exciting, it’s important to consider the benefits of staying in nursery for a bit longer.
