Maidenhead & Windsor

Parents scratching their heads about where to get good day care for their children can find the answer to the puzzle in the heart of Maidenhead.

The Maidenhead Magnet Leisure Centre has opened its new Puzzles day care service for children from six weeks to six years old – and it's day care with a difference since the children can have supervised access to all the centre amenities including the amazing sensory zone, outdoor play opportunities at the adjacent Kidwells Park and the popular Cheeky Charlie's soft play area.

Now Maidenhead parents and carers will be able to see what's on offer at Puzzles when the service holds a special open day on Thursday November 30.

Jeff Lloyd, duty manager at the Maidenhead Magnet, said: "Puzzles crèche has been running successfully for the past 15 years, offering care for children while their parents or carers use the Magnet or town centre facilities. However, with more and more parents going out to work or needing time off, we have identified a need for good day care and Puzzles now offers a safe and stimulating environment for young children – and peace of mind for parents who know their little ones are in good hands."

With seven trained members of staff, including manager Jackie Henley, Puzzles day care offers games, storytimes, arts and crafts and a wide range of creative play – and well as benefiting from the Magnet's top quality children's amenities. Puzzles has places for around six day care children a day from 9.30am to 3pm Monday to Friday. It is OFSTED regulated and inspected and all staff have enhanced CRB checks.

Anyone interested in visiting Puzzles day care is warmly invited to attend the open day between 10.30am and 2pm on November 30. Please report to main reception at the Magnet and ask for the duty manager.
