Non-mobile babies benefit from the large, bright, open-plan day room, well equipped with the latest in sensory equipment to stimulate their senses during their formative months. As babies spend a lot of time sleeping at this early age, we provide a dedicated sleep room. There are never more than three babies to any one member of staff. Our babies enjoy free flow access onto their own front garden to enjoy outdoor activities like mark making.

Babies receive a high level of intimate care through a daily routine that enables this, and through the awareness and genuine care of your baby’s key person. Your baby’s day will include: • Regular nappy changes, with genuine care and attention to your child’s specific needs • Essential sleep and rest, initially supporting your home routine and supporting your child to find their nursery rhythm • Continuously observing their needs, we wipe noses, clean hands and apply creams and lotions, making sure they are as comfortable as possible

Our baby curriculum follows the EYFS and focuses on nurturing, play-based learning. Through sensory play, songs, stories, and close interactions with their Key Person, babies develop emotional, communication, and physical skills in a safe, stimulating environment, with parents fully involved through updates on Famly.

At Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Maidenhead, we understand that feeding is a personal and important journey. Our experienced team works closely with parents to provide a consistent routine between home and nursery, offering gentle, responsive support for breastfeeding, formula feeding, and the transition to solids, ensuring your baby’s needs are met with care and comfort as they grow.
