All of our staff are either NNEB (National Nursery Examination Board) or equivalent, or participating in the National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) in Early Years and Childcare.

We have a very high qualified staff ratio which far exceeds that of OFSTED requirements. All of our staff are trained in First Aid.

Peter Dixon
Owner & Director

I am delighted and excited to be the owner of Monkey Puzzle Battersea.

Having been in teaching for over 25 years – I know exactly how important a child’s first steps into learning are. I have always been passionate about education and learning. My own children – now 12 and 8 – developed their curiosity, creativity and love of learning at this stage.

At Battersea Monkey Puzzle our aim is to create a fun and stimulating environment where the children feel happy, safe and excited about their learning. As we all know – Early Years Education is vital for our children and is recognised as one of the most important stages in a child’s development. Children develop so quickly at this age. My wife – a lead English teacher – knows that this stage is vital for language acquisition as well a child’s first steps in literacy.

Each child has their own personality and characteristics and we aim to support and develop these in a warm home from home environment with a strong team of well qualified practitioners. High quality provision will be at the very centre of all we do.

Being a lead practitioner for a number of years and then most recently in my role as an assistant head teacher I am confident that I have the enthusiasm, experience and understanding that is needed to nurture the needs of every child. We will ensure that you – as parents – feel that Monkey Puzzle Battersea is the right choice for you and your child.
