Day Nurseries Owned by Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries Ltd in West Yorkshire

We moved to the area 18 months ago, which was when our son started to attend Monkey Puzzle. We have used a few different nurseries / childminders previously and can't speak highly enough about Monkey Puzzle - it's by far the best nursery either of our children have attended, our son has a fantastic time and the staff are amazing. Would highly recommend

My grandson had major issues due to his upbringing before we got him and monkey puzzle has helped us with making my grandsom a functioning 3yr old they went beyond to attend meetings for his welfare and have been a brilliant asset to us all the nusery staff are fabulous understanding and accomodating my grandsons issues they have been outstsnding he loves nursery and has come on leaps and bounds because of monkey puzzle i cannot stress how wonderful they all are thankyou monkey puxzle xxx

My son has been attending Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery from 6 months old. He is now 3 1/2 years old and both me and my son have had very positive experiences throughout his time here. The staff in all the rooms have been phenomenal. Such caring, friendly, patient and approachable members of staff. The activities are well thought out, the encouragement of learning and engaging with the children is of very high standard. The meals are healthy and varied, and hand washing and sitting at the table is carried out for every meal time. My child loves coming to nursery and he has made some lovely friends during his time there. I cannot fault it. Security is of very high standard too which enables parents to feel reassured and safe when dropping off and collecting their child. I would strongly recommend Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery to any parent who is seeking out a nursery- the quality of care is excellent and the nursery and staff have been fundamental throughout my child's development.

I cannot recommend Monkey Puzzle Otley enough. Hannah and Rosie the SEN staff members who work with my non verbal autistic son have provided amazing care and support for him as well as massively helping putting provisions in place and getting the help he needs. My son is happy and cared for at the nursery and all the staff are supportive friendly and welcoming.

Great food choices and snacks.

After visiting a few nurseries back in 2022 Monkey Puzzle was the perfect nursery. Unfortunately due to the year he was born in(Covid) he struggled with his speech, emotions and eating which having a persistent key worker made all the difference, his progression over the years that he attended was incredible.

The following year his younger sister attended in which the care they provided her was incredible, she has experienced respiratory problems and they did a care plan to keep her safe and minimise the risk of infections around her.

I feel beyond lucky to have found a lovely nursery that loved and wanted the best for my children just as much as me. My children wouldn't be the people they are today without the team. Forever grateful x

Cannot fault monkey puzzle at all. They have provided the most wonderful care for my son and he has been incredibly happy and has thrived in his development since moving here.

The staff team are lovely and considering the difficulties nurseries face with staff retention I'd say its a really stable team which helps children feel settled. They go above and beyond and really get to know the children and support their unique interests, for example when finding out my son was interested in playing music they developed music based activities to support and encourage his interest. Communication with staff has always been excellent.

The setting overall is calm and flexible to meet the needs of children and they make great efforts to make the environment interesting and fun for kids. The food is great too!

My son always happily comes and goes which I think is always a good sign. We are very very sad that he has to leave!

My son is really well cared for by the fantastic nursery staff in the toddler room. One member of staff who is my son's key worker, is a superb communicator and a really effective member of staff. My son has thrived at the nursery, from the baby room where received high levels of care and we had great experiences from the baby room lead and her staff, to the current toddler room, where he is doing equally well. My son is really happy at monkey puzzle Otley, he is doing really well socially and developmentally, and this is down to the calibre of the day to day nursery staff.

The only negative feedback we have is regarding the charging of fees and the creative accounting we've observed when applying the LA funding to the setting. This is something reflective of the owners not the wonderful care staff, hence why we are only able to offer 4 out of 5 stars. All other areas, we have received high levels of positive customer / parent experience.

Excellent early years institution. Lovely staff. Trustworthy and experienced. A lovely setting for both our children.

Thank you Monkey Puzzle!!

Our son has been at Monkey Puzzle for the last 18+ months, since he was 1 and in that time we've seen huge improvements in his speech, social skills and overall confidence. He absolutely loves the staff, as do we, they provide updates and photos of new skills achieved, fun tasks carried out or trips out to the park which our son loves. We have happily enrolled our second child to start next year when they turn 1 and can't wait to see them develop in the same manner.

This is a truly wonderful daycare! My child loves coming here every day, and it's so clear how much care and attention is put into the children's well-being and development. The staff is incredibly friendly and dedicated, and they always go above and beyond to make sure the children feel safe and happy. The curriculum is engaging and stimulating, and my child has learned so much since starting here. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a quality and loving environment for their child."

My son has been at Monkey Puzzle since he was 9 months old and he's currently 14 month old, since starting there he has come on leaps and bounds and they have helped in his development to mould him into the little character he is today, could not thank all the staff there enough and would highly recommend.

Staff are compassionate, caring and patient with the kids. The management and admin staff are efficient and also lovely. What a top bunch!

Both my children have been at Monkey Puzzle over the past 4 years and they've been excellent. The children were happy and cared for, the processes they use are simple and easy for busy parents, they set up activities and day trips regularly and the staff really care about the wellbeing of the kids. If there are any problems or concerns, they talk about it collaboratively. You know what food they're eating and how much without having to rely on staff memory. A truly great nursery that I recommend to anyone.

Monkey Puzzle is a safe, fun environment for children where staff take a real interest in children and work hard to ensure they have a great time. They spend lots of time outside and do a large variety of activities. Our son has thrived in the preschool where a gentle introduction of structure and responsibility-taking has prepared him really well for school. We are already looking forward to seeing our younger son there in future knowing how well he will be cared for and encouraged.

Our son has just graduated after being at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery for just under 4 years. He has always enjoyed going to nursery and felt at home there. The staff are very caring and managed to create a varied program of activities to encourage his development.

My child has been here since he just turned 1 and is just about to leave to go to primary school. I couldn't have asked for a better nursery and preschool, the staff really care for the kids and do so many exciting activities. They've taught my child a huge amount and prepared him so wonderfully for his next steps. As a parent I've felt looked after too, and reassured that my child was getting the best. Thank you everyone at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery, it will be a wrench to leave such a happy place.

I am so very happy with the nursery, one started in April and one in June. Both boys have come on tremendously, they helped one to walk. Both boys come home tired after a busy day. They always seem to have things to do and nothing is too much for the staff. They are so helpful and considerate and the care they give the boys just light up in their faces.

My son has recently started at Monkey Puzzle and our experience to date has been nothing short of excellent. The staff have been amazing, their communication and commitment to ensuring a smooth transition into their nursery setting has made us feel extremely confident that our child is in the best place!
