Nursery and playschool in Chipping Ongar, Essex
Puzzlez Playschool is a nursery in Ongar for children aged 6 months to 5 years. We are open Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and every meal is freshly prepared on site.
Early childhood shapes everything that follows. Our team has created a warm, loving space where every child is valued for who they are, and where curiosity, creativity and confidence are encouraged every day.
From the moment your child steps through our doors, they’ll feel at home: comfortable, happy and ready for another day of play and discovery. And because we believe in nourishing body and mind, we prepare fresh, healthy meals on site every day.
Children move up through three rooms, each set up for what they’re ready to explore next.
A calm, cosy start for babies and young toddlers, with plenty of floor space to roll, crawl and take first steps.
Busy hands and big ideas: building, messy play and first conversations, with lots of encouragement along the way.
Phonics, early maths, role play and growing independence, so children start school feeling confident.

What I appreciate more about Puzzlez Playschool is the way they make learning a natural and enjoyable part of a child’s day. As a mother, it’s lovely to see my daughter more confident and curious in learning and how she enjoys her time there reassures us that it was a great choice. I appreciate the team’s effort and dedication in nurturing the little buds with an environment where they could grow their own unique way. Highly recommended!!
Ellis loves going to Puzzlez, he always comes out so happy and is doing fantastic with learning his colours and counting! I love the app and the photos you get at the end of the day, it’s lovely to see what they have been up to. The staff are all so lovely and I am so happy I picked this nursery! Thank you all! Xx
We had such a wonderful experience at Puzzles. My child attended at 18 months old and settled in so quickly thanks to the caring and attentive staff. The team made us feel welcome from day one, and it was clear how much love and effort they put into supporting every child’s development. The activities were always engaging, the environment felt safe and nurturing, and communication with parents was excellent. In our opinion, this is the best nursery in Ongar.
