Day Nurseries Owned by Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries Ltd in Hampshire

After having trouble settling in my son with a childminder we decided to move him to monkey puzzle nursery and we couldn't be happier with this decision. The staff have been amazing- so calm and patient and the settling in period that we were so anxious about couldn't have gone any better. Our son loves it at Monkey Puzzle and we've seen huge leaps in his development since going. The communication is brilliant and I feel confident going to work and knowing that he will be well looked after with three good meals, naps and lots of fun playing throughout the day.

My daughter started Monkey Puzzle at 8 months old as I had to go back to work. This was hard for me but it was made much easier seeing the love and care the ladies provided in Hoglets. Now, my daughter is in Hedgehogs and toddles in waving goodbye to me at the gate. She is so content and it is obvious how much the staff care - this includes management as well! We are so pleased with our decision.

I have always been extremely happy with this nursery! My daughter settled in very quickly and always leaves with a massive smile on her face. She learns so much when being there and clearly has so much fun!

Our daughter attended Monkey Puzzle Hartley Wintney for 30 months and "graduated" for reception class September 2025. We've had a good long time to think about our experience and to hear from others, and frankly can't think of better that we could have had for nursery education and care in the vicinity. We appreciated the mix of female and male staff, the outstanding individual support with SEN and food issues which we received, the creative focus upon diversity, the natural environment for play, and the solid focus on Early Years Foundation Stage learning. In some ways we're sad that it's over, but we think it's the best start we could possibly have had.

Both my sons came to Monkey puzzle and one still there. Drop off is super relaxing my son doesn't look back and looks forward to going every morning and is super happy when he leaves, he's not over tired or grumpy! The staff are all very friendly and personable!! It's like a little family. Going to work knowing your children are happy and safe is priceless! I would always recommend the Hartley Wintney Monkey Puzzle with no hesitation!

My daughter has been going to the nursery for a year and a half and absolutely loves going. She talks about the staff and her friends on the days she isn't there and is always so happy to go in and doesn't want to leave ! The staff are brilliant and always fill the days with exciting, educational and messy play time which she loves doing. Would 100% recommend.

Such a lovely nursery! Our daughter loves it so much and she is thriving!! She started in March 2025 and has developed so much and gained so much confidence! The best decision my husband and I made!

My daughter settled so quickly and absolutely loves her time there. She talks so much about the friends she's made and the wonderful staff. The nursery has such a warm welcoming atmosphere and we've been incredibly happy with our choice to send her here.

Thank you!

Amazing experience with all the staff, they have a really great relationship with my child and he loves it everyday. 3 meals and 2 snacks provided is perfect and with a wide range of healthy food to be experienced my son has gotten better with food choices. With all the support provided for development we are well set to move onto infants school and beyond.

Highly recommend!

A lot of love and thought had gone into building Monkey Puzzle. This nursery has really brought out the best in my son, I just wish I found them sooner!

Monkey Puzzle is a fantastic Nursery. All the staff are all so kind, loving, caring and patient. My daughter started in the baby room and is now in the toddler room. She is happy everyday, confident and talks about all the children and staff at home. There is no better place I would feel more comfortable than this place to leave my precious daughter. The staff are wonderful!

Our son(15 months) enjoys the nursery and the friendly staff. He's so happy at the handover. It's so lovely to see him smiling every morning. This was his second nursery after a poor Ofsted report at his previous nursery. The staff have been so helpful. We now feel so confident he is in the right, safe and happy environment. We enjoy reading the detailed observations. I would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Hartley Wintney.

Our daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 1, she is now three and a half. We have seen her personality blossom and her confidence grow under their expert care. She loves her time there and has bonded with all the staff. We love hearing about her day, which is always filled with fun outdoors, crafts, fun games and nourishing meals. We would wholeheartedly recommend Monkey Puzzle Hartley Wintney.

Our 3 daughters went to the Monkey Puzzle from babies right through to school. They absolutely loved their time at nursery and we were very happy with the level of care they received along with all the wonderful activities they were able to take part in every day. My youngest daughter is still asking when she can go back to nursery 7 months after starting school.

I highly recommend having a look at Monkey Puzzle for your child, as I couldn’t be more grateful for my son's experience there, and it makes me happy knowing he is happy.

I would 100% recommend this nursery to any parent.

Finally, the enthusiasm of the staff is amazing, they clearly are invested in their roles and in the children and are happy to give a detailed handover at every pick-up.

I could not recommend Monkey Puzzle highly enough. My son has developed so well over the past year and is still excited to go in every morning. The staff have gone above and beyond to further develop my son and have also been of huge support to myself!
