Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been with Monkey Puzzle Twickenham since our son was 11 months, we couldn't be happier of the choice. He had the best years with all the loving teacher and management that worked at Monkey Puzzle.
We could see him growing and improving his skills day by day. The loving and care that the stuff
put in their work is amazing.
I cried a lot when we had his graduation and on his last day at nursery, we had such a great experience and time there, I couldn't recommend a better place for your son/daughter

My son joined Tweenies last year, and in just a short time, I've seen such a positive change in his confidence. He has made many friends, thanks to the support of the wonderful team. He quickly picked up phonics and was able to write his initials all on his own. I'm so excited to see even more progress
as he continues in preschool.
It's truly incredible how children are naturally drawn to the staff's warmth. I wholeheartedly recommend Monkey Puzzle Twickenham do not hesitate to send your children there. We are so grateful for the care and encouragement they've given our little one.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Starting from self-confidence, manners, reading and writing to being very independent little girl. My daughter is well ahead in her learning and I can't thank the team enough at Monkey Puzzle for the excellent care and love over the years they have given to my child.
The Manager is very experienced,
knowledgeable and has set high standards of care and education throughout all the age groups. It's nice to see exciting activities based on different themes and topics across the rooms.
The outdoor garden has many opportunities for children to explore and the staff take children out regularly on trips to Farm, Fire Station, Post office and Local parks.
The duckling's hatch kit during the Summer was hit. My daughter absolutely loved watching the eggs hatched and the little ducklings grow in 2 weeks.
I love the fact how all the families are involved in the setting to celebrate events and festivals together e.g. every year Grandparents Day, Father's Day, Christmas Nativity play and much more.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son joined Monkey Puzzle since April 2015 when he was 6 months old. We are thrilled that He has had such a speedy development.
From the moment we walked in, we felt that Monkey Puzzle was right for our son. The staff have been so welcoming and caring and have provided him with security like at
home. We chose this nursery based on how clean it looked there were plenty of different toys and resources around in beautifully decorated sections and rooms. We loved the themes it was like a child's heaven and got our son interested immediately.
We are grateful to the staff for building our sons confidence and social skills along with kindness and empathy for others.


Monkey Puzzle is very engaging with parents they get us really involved with special events like sports day, Father's Day Mother's Day etc we get to meet other parents during this process.
I would highly recommend this nursery to everyone who is looking for the best for their child.

Review from Marghana M (Mother of Child) published on 4 October 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending this nursery on a part-time basis for over a year now. After trying out a couple of nurseries I was sceptical about how she would react to Monkey Puzzle.
The staff and the atmosphere at Monkey Puzzle are second to none they have the right attitude, energy and drive to
provide the children with a fun packed day.


They have various activities including indoor, outdoor and plenty of resources and equipment that has helped my daughters development tremendously. From variability of Creative, physical and imaginative games and activities her clarity in speech and ability to listen has increased thresholds.


My daughter is also getting a balanced nutritional diet and getting used to different foods here in a clean and hygienic environment.
The staff and management at monkey puzzle are outstanding there is a huge difference from the other nurseries where it was evident the staff were just coming to work and at Monkey Puzzle they are coming to achieve.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
A happy and amazing place for our child.


Our son attended Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Twickenham for 2 years, we were glad that finally we found a place for him to settle down after moving two nurseries previously. The nursery environment is great, efficient management team, caring and professional

staffs and always make us feel very welcome. This nursery has lots of activities scheduled, varieties of learning materials, good play space indoor and outdoor for the children to enjoy their day. We received a daily update from the key person at the end of the day which helps us to understand and support our child further. Our son became more confident, independent and looks forward to going into nursery every day. As working parents, we have a peace of mind to be at work knowing our child is settled well at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Twickenham.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter joined this nursery when she was 1 and graduated from there to go to School last year. My son currently attends the setting so Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Twickenham has been a big part of my family for over 5 years now. I have seen it go from strength to strength and in my view, it is an
outstanding setting.


The resources, the space but most of all the staff are extremely passionate and professional and a lot of the credit for why my children are happy, confident and doing so well at school/pre-school goes to the Monkey Puzzle team at Twickenham. From a hands on manager to genuinely caring staff, owners that are keen to invest in the business and a pre-school teacher who ensures children are ready for school - everything is perfect.


Thank you to everyone there and we will miss you so much when my son graduates next year. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone!

Monkey Puzzle is a fun, caring, stimulating and highly educational nursery. It has the balance of individual attention for the children with a wide variety of activities and themes. There is a focus on delivering a wide range of experiences with regards to attention cultures, religions and backgrounds
that the children love.
Monkey Puzzle has been excellent for both the early academic development and personal growth of my children.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for the past year and a half. She is always very happy to attend and has grown in confidence since she first started. The main thing I appreciate is the regular feedback from her key worker and other members of staff, they always take time to talk to me about
her progress. They have a lovely garden with lots of equipment too.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.297)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.297) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Twickenham is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 5.000 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Twickenham is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 5
  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 3.297 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Twickenham is based on 2 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 = 3.125
    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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.6 = 0.172
  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.
