📚✨ Roald Dahl Day at Preschool! ✨📚
What a wonderfully whizz-popping day we had celebrating the magical world of Roald Dahl! 🍰📖
Our little bookworms were captivated by the story of Matilda, sparking lots of imagination, creativity and excitement. 🌟
Our preschoolers created their own fantastic stories, dressed up for the occasion and even got busy in the kitchen baking a delicious cake, just like in the story! 🎂👩🍳
From storytelling to dressing up and baking, it was a day full of wonder, imagination and a little bit of Roald Dahl magic! 💫💛

🍫✨ Roald Dahl Day in our Toddler Room! ✨🍫
What a wonderfully wacky day our little chocolate lovers have had! 📚🎩
Our toddlers jumped straight into the magical world of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory today! 🍭🍫 They explored our chocolate river themed sensory tray, getting stuck in and discovering all the different textures and treasures. 🌊🍫
We also put on our baking hats and baked some delicious cupcakes 🧁👩🍳 — they looked (and smelled!) absolutely scrumdiddlyumptious!
And the adventure didn’t stop there… our little explorers took part in an exciting Golden Ticket treasure hunt! 🎟️🔎
A day full of imagination, messy play, creativity and plenty of chocolatey fun! 💛🍫✨

🐊📚 Roald Dahl Day in our Baby Room! 🌿✨
Our little explorers had a crocodile-tastic time diving into the wonderful world of Roald Dahl! 🐊💚
Inspired by The Enormous Crocodile, our babies explored a fabulous habitat-themed sensory tray, complete with a rather special rice crocodile! 🌾🐊
Using their hands, noses, ears and mouths (with lots of safe, age-appropriate sensory exploration!), our little ones discovered different textures, sounds, smells and experiences as they investigated the activities.
And, of course, what better way to bring it all to life than by listening to the fantastic story of The Enormous Crocodile together! 📖✨
So much exploring, discovering and sensory fun — our little ones certainly had an enormously good time! 💚🐊

🐒💛 Three teams, one big Monkey Puzzle family! 💛🐒
Here at Monkey Puzzle New Cross, we have three fantastic teams, each with their own special role:
👶 Explorers – our wonderful Baby Room
🔎 Discoverers – our brilliant Toddler Room
💡 Inventors – our amazing Preschool Room
While each team has their own little corner of Monkey Puzzle, we’re one big team at heart! 🤗 Our staff are always happy to lend a helping hand, share ideas, support one another and jump in wherever they’re needed. 💪✨
But… we’d be lying if we said we didn’t miss each other when we’re off helping another team! 😉😂 There’s nothing quite like that happy reunion when everyone’s back together!
Because teamwork makes the dream work — and at Monkey Puzzle New Cross, we’re proud to support each other, our children and our families every single day! 🌟🐒

🍌✨ We’ve gone bananas! ✨🍌
Our little learners have been getting creative with a banana-themed sensory activity inspired by Betty Goes Bananas! 📚🍌
Using coloured rice, our children worked together to create their very own banana face, exploring textures, colours and patterns along the way. From scooping and sprinkling to carefully placing each detail, there was lots of hands-on learning, teamwork and imagination happening! 👐🎨
And just look at the finished masterpiece… what a cheeky banana! 😄🍌💛
