Day Nurseries Owned by Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries Ltd in Hertfordshire

The staff have created such a warm, happy and supportive environment, and it's been wonderful to see his confidence grow. We are so grateful for everything they have done and for all the love and care they have given him. We will be very sad to leave!

I have been sending my kids there for a decade and recommended it to many others, it's suits a busy family and its location to the train station makes life for working parents much easier. All three kids have loved their time there and the manager runs a very tight ship so you can have the comfort that you kids are in very safe hands. Some of the staff that were there when I started my first are still there which indicates happy staff and a lovely environment

Our daughter has been with Monkey Puzzle since September 2024. She has loved every second of her time there. She's been nurtured and cared for by a wonderful team and prepared for school with excitement and great skills. We are extremely happy with all aspects of her care and are so sad to be leaving this wonderful setting.

Fantastic nursery, sent both our kids over a period of 8 years. They loved it! Would highly recommend to any parents. Lovely staff as well, very engaging with the children and always helpful and friendly.

I have sent all 3 of my children to this nursery and over the years they continue to show love and care to my child in their care. The activities they do daily are fun for them, the food they give is freshly made, the people they bring in for extra activities are safe and the building is air con in summer and warm in the winter. Finally lots of children for my child to play with. Ticks in all areas for me!!

My daughter has been attending this nursery for the past year, after we moved from London. Before coming here, she attended three different nurseries, but unfortunately we were not happy with our experiences, as she often came home with severe nappy rash.

Since joining this nursery, we have had none of those concerns. She is happy, well cared for, and genuinely loves coming to nursery every day. It is clear that the staff and management truly care about the children and are passionate about what they do. They are kind, attentive, and always welcoming.

I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, caring, and nurturing environment for their child.

We are very happy with everything, our daughter loves to come at the nursery, she loves her teachers and the staff. I checked many nurseries around Watford before choosing Monkey Puzzle and this was by far the best one, very clean and organised. My second baby will start nursery from October, I can't wait for him to grow and learn in the same place his sister loved so much. Thank you!

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Monkey Puzzle for our little one. He settled in so well and that's all down to the amazing team. The room leader has been absolutely brilliant - so calm and caring and his key person create a lovely connection with him. It really put my mind in ease knowing he's in such good hands.

I would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery to any parent looking for a clean, welcoming environment with caring, professional staff who are committed to helping every child thrive.

Julia ( mum to JA)

Our daughter have been going to Monkey Puzzle for nearly three years and during this time we have observed positive physical, emotional and social development in her. Initially, she used to be hesitant to go there,but now she really enjoyes it. She has become more confident, extrovert, made lots of friends and has developed new skills and interests. Our experience with the staff have been excellent since day one, they are kind, professional, approchable and individualise the care of our daughter based on her needs. We are grateful to all the staff at Monkey Puzzle and would like to thank them for looking after our daughter. We would highly recommend this nursery.

It has a great experience for my son who stayed there for more than 2 years, he arrived without speaking any word in English and all the staff was so nice and helpful, that he settled in very quickly. Definitely recommend this nursery

Thanks to their kindness and professionalism, our child settled in much better than we expected and now looks forward to attending. We're very grateful for the positive experience and would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

My child, when she leaves the nursery, is happy that she had an exciting day, met friends, the staff were kind, and did exciting activities. She also mentioned that she likes the food there. For me, the staff are professional, kind and responsive to any queries and concerns, and are very helpful.

Both my daughters have attended Monkey Puzzle in Ware from the age of 1 and they are two years apart. I honestly cant fault the service and care we have received for our children. The amount of different activities that they provide is incredible. External dance teachers coming in, woodwork where my daughter has learnt to use tools, she has held a snake! and witnessed chicken eggs hatching. On top of this they regularly take the children on trips into the community. Both my daughters absolutely love going into nursery, they enjoy spending time with the team who look after them and have made some great friendships where they see other children outside of nursery regularly. The food menu is great and my children eat healthy food each day as well as plenty of time to play and be active outside they also ensure that your child's development around numbers, letters, colours, science, art etc is all covered. I can honestly say both my daughters have thrived in the environment created here.

I would highly recommend, and will be sending all my children here with no doubts.

Amber the SENCO has been absolutely fantastic and so accommodating with our son's speech and language requirements. The team at MonkeyPuzzle do their upmost to help encourage him to try to speak, and the excitement they have when he says a word shows me that they share the passion and enthusiasm with the children!

If there is ever a hiccup, they are very responsive, respectful and accommodating. To get this resolved as quickly and as best as they can! I can't fault them! Thank you

We have had nothing but the most incredible experience with our daughter attending Monkey Puzzle! All staff are warm, caring and friendly and invested in each child as an individual. Management are kind, accommodating and available. The activities are engaging daily and contributing to our daughters development, the key workers are going above and beyond to support our daughters development and keeping us updated every step of the way!

We moved our 3 year old son from a childminder to Monkey Puzzle nursery last year, and we're so glad we did. He absolutely loves it here. Always talks about the activities he did in the day, and he loves the big garden. Communication with the staff has been brilliant, and they are all so friendly, supportive and welcoming. I'd definitely recommend Monkey Puzzle to anyone.

When my daughter started nursery last year, I was initially quite sceptical, as I had always been her main carer and found it difficult to place my trust in others. She began nursery at the age of three, which felt quite late to me. However, during our settling-in session, I was immediately reassured by the kindness and care shown by the staff, as well as their clear passion for their work.

Once my daughter started attending part-time, I could see how much she was enjoying her experience. She would happily tell me about her day, the activities she had taken part in, and how kind and supportive the staff were. It was lovely to hear how much fun she was having and how much she enjoyed playing with the other children.

I cannot fault the staff in any way. The food provided is healthy and well prepared, and I am extremely glad that I took the leap of faith and enrolled my daughter at Monkey Puzzle Stevenage. Thank you to everyone for making this such a positive experience for us both.

I'm so impressed with Monkey Puzzle. My child has attended for a year and we plan to stay until they start school at 4. After visiting several nurseries, Monkey Puzzle stood out for its reasonable costs, spacious environment and high-quality care.

The team are attentive, caring and energetic, and every key worker has had my child's best interests at heart. Development reviews are thorough and well documented on the app, with great knowledge sharing and regular updates for parents. Communication is excellent - queries are answered quickly, and the team have been incredibly supportive with changes to our working hours and managing allergies.

The settling-in period was tough, but staff went above and beyond to help us both feel at ease. Longer opening hours support our full-time work, security is taken seriously, and the app makes everything simple. A truly 5-star nursery.
