Welcome to Monkey Puzzle Portsmouth South

Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Portsmouth South is conveniently located along Elm Grove in central Southsea. We are close to Portsmouth University, Guildhall square, Gunwharf Quays and Palmerston Road precinct. We also have the added benefit of being within a mile of the hovercraft terminal, Portsmouth’s two main train stations and the Gosport ferry.

The old Kings Church site has been renovated to create a bright, spacious, open plan environment beyond our shop front exterior. We provide outstanding facilities for children aged babies, toddlers and preschool children, aged 3 months through to 5 years old.

We have dedicated rooms for our various age ranges and each room reflects the seven areas of learning, as prescribed in the Early Years Foundation Stage. All of our facilities are designed to be accessible to every child.

Hello. I’m Emily and Rahma and we are the owners of Monkey Puzzle Portsmouth South. Our team are dedicated to giving every child the best start in life by caring for and supporting them to play, learn and grow in a positive and stimulating environment.

We would love to welcome and show you around our beautiful nursery setting so please get in touch.
