❤💐In preparation for Mothers Day coming up on Sunday. Our pre-schoolers have poured their love and creativity into making special pictures for you, their wonderful mums, sharing all the reasons you mean the world to them. Inspired by the book The Colour Monster, they also explored the beautiful emotions you bring into their lives—whether it’s the warm happiness of yellow, the calm comfort of green, or the deep love of red. Through their art and words, they’ve shown just how much they treasure the way you make them feel safe, loved, and joyful every day.
Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Monkey Puzzle Grange Road—you truly fill their world with colour and love!” ... See MoreSee Less

The babies at Monkey Puzzle Grange Road have been delightfully exploring the classic tale of Little Red Riding Hood. With the dedication of their practitioners, a variety of sensory activities were planned to bring the story to life, including playdough sculpting, vibrant painting sessions, and messy play. These imaginative and hands-on experiences not only enriched the children’s creativity and sensory development but also deepened their engagement with this beloved tale.
