Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Billericay

My child has attended this nursery since the age of one, and the experience has been genuinely wonderful. They have always been happy and settled, and we've seen such positive changes in their confidence, social skills, and overall development. They look forward to going to nursery. The staff are consistently caring, nurturing, and professional, and it's clear how much they truly care about the children. Communication is excellent. We are always kept informed about progress, activities, and any updates, which gives us real reassurance as parents. The environment is safe, supportive and stimulating. We couldn't be happier with the care and support they provide and would highly recommend the nursery to any family looking for a nurturing and trustworthy setting for their child.

My little boy has been going here for about 5 months and he absolutely loves it. His always talking about his friends at nursery and the girls looking after him!

He has come on leaps and bounds since he started, from his communication to his confidence and then to his eating - which has been another bonus.

I was really anxious about him starting somewhere and honestly wanted to just keep him home with me forever! I looked at quite a few nurseries and initially wanted him to have something with lots of outdoor space (maybe a farm type environment). But after viewing a bunch, I just felt the most at ease here compared to all the others I see. The vibe of the staff and the environment just spoke volumes to me and I think my senses were right as I have had nothing but a good experience!

Super grateful for everyone at Monkey Puzzle!

Thank you to the whole team.

It was a big decision for us on where to send our son to nursery, but we couldn't have made a better choice. The staff at Monkey Puzzle have helped him enormously and have created a safe, supportive, caring and enriching environment that really has set him up for school and beyond. The work they do and have done is fantastic and hugely appreciated.

Safe to say, everything about this Nursery, with absolutely nothing excluded has been a complete joy and pleasure.

From management, to key workers, to the chef, our expectations have been vastly exceeded in every department.

Daily updates on the app are fairly frequent and meaningful which adds a layer of reassurance.

How the complete team at Monkey Puzzle have helped to develop our little baby into being more than reception ready is mind-blowing. The care they clearly gave our son, and all the other children is obvious to see and we really cant thank all of you enough.

Our final goodbye will honestly be a sad day.

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Monkey Puzzle to anyone who is considering nursery for their child. The staff are, simply put, wonderful. They really know our son, who attended from age 1 until school age. He had a great time in babies, toddlers and in pre-school. We were particularly impressed by the amount of effort made to make sure that he didn't get bored towards the end, as he was old in the school year- he's come out of it all a really confident child with lots of skills to show for his time with MP. A huge thanks to all of the staff for making his (and our) experience of nursery so easy. We'll miss you all!

Earlier this year we made the tough decision to take our little girl out of her current nursery and find a new one. When I tell you that moving her was the best decision I think we've ever made, I honestly mean it. Our daughter absolutely loves it at Monkey Puzzle and we're so grateful for everything that all of the girls do, they really do go above and beyond to get to know the children and make sure that they're all reaching their full potential. Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since being there and it's all down to the efforts the girls make. She is able to tell me all of her friends names when we go through the pictures of her day together and she is forever mentioning the manager and her key worker at home, too. I really cannot thank you all enough x

He goes to school in September and both him and us will miss Monkey Puzzle so much!

We're delighted with Monkey Puzzle Billericay. The level of care shown to our child is exceptional, and it's clear how much the staff contribute to his development and wellbeing. They are always friendly, approachable, and genuinely caring. Our child is consistently happy and excited to attend, which speaks volumes about the environment they've created. Management are always helpful and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. We couldn't be happier with the experience and would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Billericay to any parent.

Highly recommend this nursery to anyone considering sending their little one!

Our son has been attending Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery in Billericay for the past 3 years, and honestly it feels like being part of a big family. The staff are excellent, they are so friendly and genuinely care about all of the children and take interest in their lives. They have helped our son in his development and in helping prepare him for school. I have no concerns with leaving my son there, and I know he is happy and well looked after. The extra activities that the children take part in each week which are run by external people (French lessons, Phonics lesson, Playball) are a fantastic opportunity, in addition to all the activities the staff do at the nursery. Our son has also thoroughly enjoyed the little trips out too (such as to the train station). I would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle to anyone.

We couldn't recommend Monkey Puzzle enough!

Our daughter has been attending Monkey Puzzle for a few months. It felt like a leap of faith as first-time parents given she started at only 5 months old but we couldn't ask for a better experience - it has been brilliant. All of the staff really care and have made a lot of effort to get to know our daughter which meant she settled incredibly quickly meaning when she is there, we have no worries or concerns. We are kept up to date on what the children are up to that day and I am assured that the team will reach out if they need anything. I have been really impressed with how much variety there is in the activities (everyone is so creative!) and we particularly like that the staff from other older rooms also know our daughter. Everyone works as a team and there are no silos. They want to know what our preferences are (and deliver on them) and importantly when it comes to pick up, it's clear that they really know our daughter as a person and who she is and share snippets from the day that we love.

I never have to worry when I drop her off as I know she is having the best time!

I cannot thank them enough and would recommend Monkey Puzzle Billericay to anyone in the area looking for a nursery. Keep up the good work.

Recently had to swap nurseries due to old nursery not providing days suitable for my little girl. I was apprehensive about her moving but it was the best decision. She has really flourished in the nursery. The staff are so attentive and you can tell they really care about the children. My girl is preschool age and she has learnt so much since being at the nursery her numbers and letter recognition have come on leaps and bounds. We also get updates daily and regular feedback about what the kids have got up to. I would definitely recommend.

Having recently moved to the area I was rather anxious about my 2 children, aged 3.5 years and 15 months, changing nursery but they couldn't have settled better. The nursery staff are very welcoming and provide regular updates throughout the day on the app, showing all the fun the kids are having, the meals they eat, medications taken, accident reports and upcoming occasions. Definitely feel confident that we picked the right place!

My daughter has been attending Monkey Puzzle for the last 6 weeks and I was extremely nervous about her starting nursery and having to leave her for the day but the staff at Monkey Puzzle are just amazing. The girls are so lovely and my daughter absolutely loves her days at the nursery the staff have made it such a positive transition for me and I feel so comfortable and grateful for everything they do. I love seeing the big grin on my daughter's face when she’s welcomed at the door in the morning she is learning so much and making new friends she seems very happy here.

My daughter has attended Monkey Puzzle Billericay since she was nine months old, she is now two years old. She absolutely loves the nursery - the staff, the kids, the activities, the food and the garden. She is happy, confident and playful - helped along because of the time she spends at Monkey Puzzle!

My son is happy & content every day when we drop him off and has a genuine bond with the lovely women that take care of him. We are so grateful for all they do.
