Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter is very happy here. The staff are always happy and friendly and clearly adore the children. We are very happy with our daughter's progress and the gain in confidence is amazing.
We are glad she gets to spend time outside in the garden.
We also like the food that she is being served, she
seems to enjoy it.
Overall, very pleased and proud to be part of the nursery.

Review from M M (Mother of Child) published on 26 April 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am really happy with the care Monkey Puzzle Cheshunt provides for my son.
All the staff are fantastic and so welcoming and friendly. They have really taken the time to get to know him and he is always really happy to go to nursery. His key worker knows him so well and the information we receive about
his development helps reassure us that he is well looked after and cared for whilst there.
My son loves all the food that is provided and the range of snacks they receive is great.
The management are warm and approachable and you can really see the improvements that are being made since the new owner took over.
Thank you to the whole team for making my decision to go back to work so easy!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursey is fantastic my children have been attending for two years now and they absolutely love it, they get excited about going to nursery.
They have achieved and grown so much since attending here. My little boy started here with hardly any speech or social skills and is now on target or above
in all areas. The staff always put their all into all they do for the children, and create amazing bonds with every single child. The resourses are amazing and even still they continue to improve and bring new and exciting ideas to the nursery for the children to enjoy. I will definitely be sending my youngest here too.

My daughter has been coming since 8 months old and is now 2 and a half and in the Toddler Room.
She has grown in confidence and has a lovely group of friends.
She enjoys all the activities and has a good relationship with all the staff.
She will attend until she starts school in September 2020.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been at the nursery since he was a baby and I cannot rate it enough. He has learnt to thrive and is so confident in all he does.
The staff are wonderful and his key worker has a clear understanding of where he is and how to help him achieve more.
Their chef is amazing and makes some wonderful
meals for the children to eat.
I would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Cheshunt.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attends full-time since he was 1 and a half years old.
He has settled in with the help of all the lovely staff in the baby room and then moved up to the toddler room. He gets plenty of fresh air in the beautiful garden and he gets lots of time to play and have fun with his friends. He has thrived
since joining this nursery and it has really helped me to be able to go to work knowing he is so well cared and looked after by the lovely staff.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.780)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.780) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Cheshunt is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.933 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Cheshunt is calculated as follows: ( (56 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.933
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.847 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Cheshunt is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 72 number of registered child places is 14.4. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.347
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
