Staff updates/Training March/April 2022 Monkey Puzzle Billericay
We wanted to let you know that Monkey Puzzle Billericay is undergoing a wonderful brand transformation! Our nursery will be rebranding it’s permanent external signage, website and logo. Based on recent customer research, we have taken the opportunity to update the branding to reflect the high quality, premium childcare we offer with a fresh modern look and feel.
Over the next few weeks you will see a change in the nursery’s external signage and website. The main changes you will notice will include the Monkey Puzzle logo, brand colours and font. The bright yellow and red colours are being replaced by calming pastel blues, purples and greens. The ‘button like’ logo will be replaced with a flat, cleaner looking logo, and our font is being updated to a much more readable option.
Please rest assured, that even though the look and feel of Monkey Puzzle Billericay is being refreshed and updated, we are still the same Monkey Puzzle nursery you and your little ones know and love.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask a member of the team, we hope you will love our new branding as much as we do!
