What is an Invitation to Play?
An invitation to play is a concept derived from the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education. The Reggio philosophy encourages children to learn through exploration, by providing materials that 'invite them to play' in a creative, non-directive way, with no criteria for success.
Our staff team enjoyed a very hands on session of learning more about invitations to play and provocations on our inset day. Followed by some time to let their hair down and bounce into the weekend. Thank you to Jumping Jacks Bouncy Castle Hire hire@jumpingjacksbouncycastles.co.uk ...

🥳Congratualtions
Niki and Sue have done it again!!!!
Our Chef's are just the best.
Each year Niki and Sue like to support the children across the nursery with gardening and learning about where their food comes from. Supporting the children with planting from seeds, watering and watching them grow before transferring them into the bigger pots in the garden.
With all the support from Niki and Sue the children have watched and supported their own plants this year again and who doesn't love a good competition to showcase the amazing growing the children have been doing.
We joined in with 'Coolings in Bloom 2026' and came 2nd this year which is absolutely amazing and then we also joined Ruxley in Bloom and came 1st winning gold!
Monkey Puzzle Bromley is the only nursery that takes part, the rest of the entries are schools so we are so proud of our amazing achievements and what Niki and Sue continue to excel with every year.
We are incredibly proud and so thankful for all the experiences they give to the children, not only with the amazing food they cook for us all to eat but also the amazing things they do around the nursery to teach and support the children with amazing experiences.
Thank you so much Niki and Sue and Well Done on your latest achievements 🥳

🤩School Readiness📝
Last night here at Monkey Puzzle Bromley we hosted our School Readiness Wine and Cheese Night.
Every year some of our amazing children leave us to start their big adventure to big school, even through we have just said our goodbyes to our class of 2026, we are already starting to plan for the children of 2027.
The staff do an amazing job at ensuring the children are ready for school, allowing the children to be themselves, independent as well as supporting their emotions and wellbeing, but it not just the children we like to support, some of our families have never experienced a child going to school so we hosted our evening to support our families with this.
Talking through the transition to school, how to apply, where to find out information about the schools and a social chat with other parents going through the same transition.
With the Inventors staff on hand with all the information they could give our evening was such a success. We look forward to supporting you through your child's biggest adventure onto big school and will support in everyway we can along the way.

🤩Congratulations 🤩
A huge congratulations to Niki on celebrating her 6 Years here at Monkey Puzzle Bromley!
Waw where has the time gone, the amazing skills, yummy meals and fantastic teamwork that Niki brings to our team is just out of this world.
Niki is not only our chef but also joins alongside Sue in being gardeners, growing their own herbs and vegetables in the garden, making the children keen gardeners, alongside making beautiful display boards with the children up the stairs, and of course providing all the yummy food we all eat every day.
Niki joined our team at the end of lockdown in 2020 and has just been fantastic since the moment she stepped foot in the building.
We are so lucky, so proud and just so thankful that we have the best chef! 🥰
Congratulations Niki! Thank you for being you! 🥳

🤩Our Chef's are Amazing🤩
Last week we had a call from one of our sister nurseries, with a little challenge for our Chef's Niki and Sue in supporting them with making a cake for their Summer Party.
Niki and Sue are always willing to help and take on many other tasks around the nursery as well as cooking the amazing food they provide for the children everyday.
So with the challenge set, Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Orpington celebrated their 6th Birthday at the weekend with a Lego theme, so of course Niki and Sue got to work and made this amazing cake from scratch, going above and beyond the expectations.
We are so proud of our Chef's and cannot thank them enough for what they do on a daily basis.
Thank You Niki and Sue for helping Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Orpington and being the best Chef's ever!

Quality early learning experiences can set the stage for future academic success and lifelong learning.
