Review from Jordan O (Father of Child) published on 20 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have been delighted with monkey puzzle nursery, choosing it for both our son and daughter. The nursery staff create a really fun, engaging and caring environment for the children. Our children come home with a smile on their face every day after taking part in such a wide range of fun activities and it really creates a love of learning.
The staff really understand the children individually; their habits, likes and dislikes. I was amazed after only a few weeks the things they noticed, and it really shows how much they care about the children.

Finally, the staff go out of their way to get parents involved. Christmas & graduation shows along with the mothers and Father's Day invites are unique to monkey puzzle. They build such great trust with the parents, and it's a delight to see our children thriving in their nursery environment. I really couldn't recommend the nursery enough! Each and every member of staff goes out of their way to make it the most fun it can be for the children.

Review from Sophie O (Mother of Child) published on 28 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I couldn't be happier with this nursery. We moved my children here from another nursery and the impact it's had on them has been incredible. I couldn't speak more highly of the staff - they all actually care about the children. Within a week of my children starting, they'd really got to know them and their unique personalities. They take time to put together a fun timetable of activities, including trips out, baking, yoga, and so many different science experiments and arts and crafts. My children love going in every day and their confidence has grown so much since starting. My eldest left and started school this year and has found the transition easy - I think Monkey Puzzle did such a brilliant job at preparing him for this. Overall, I feel confident that I'm sending my children somewhere that they love, with a team that really have their best interests at heart and do everything they can to ensure they have a wonderful experience.

Review from Bianca C (Mother of Child) published on 30 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Choosing this nursery for my two boys was one of the best decisions we made as a family. They both started at different ages, each with their own personalities - one a little shy and the other full of energy - and the staff supported them so beautifully as individuals.

Over time, we've seen such amazing growth in their confidence, independence, and social skills. They go in smiling and come home happy every single day, always excited to tell us about their friends and the fun activities they've enjoyed.

The team truly care about the children and create a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where they can learn and thrive. As a parent, there is nothing more reassuring.

We are incredibly grateful to all the staff for the love, patience, and dedication they show every day. This nursery will always have a special place in our hearts.

Overall Experience

I find that the care and learning experiences my son has received from this nursery is very high of standards. From early days since his first day in baby room till now being in the toddlers room his health, education and wellbeing have been absolutely amazing. The teachers are well loved by my son and his friends, I can tell this by the stories he tells me about his day and who his favourite teachers are. I believe that the caring and highly interactive environment that this nursery provides is absolutely amazing.

Review from Anna U (Mother of Child) published on 24 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Monkey Puzzle Nursery is the place where my little one took her very first steps, spoke her first words, and began to grow in confidence about the world around her. Over the past four years, the love and happiness she experienced there is something I truly wish every child could have during their nursery journey.

The genuine care shown not only to the children but also to the parents is something very special. The multilingual approach, the attention to detail, and the vibrant boards filled with the children's drawings create such a warm and inspiring environment - one I value far more than any overly polished or clinical setting.

And the lovely garden adds to the magic, giving children a space to explore, play, and simply be themselves. Monkey Puzzle Nursery is more than just a nursery; it's a place where children are nurtured, encouraged, and truly seen.

Overall Experience

We had a lovely experience at Monkey Puzzle in Twickenham, with my daughter loving every day there. She has grown up and learnt a lot every day but crucially she has built lasting connections with her teachers and the other children. She is now at school.but she still often talks about how great her nursery was. Would definitely recommend

We've had such a wonderful experience with Monkey Puzzle Twickenham from when our child was 5 months old up to 4 years. The staff are incredibly caring and friendly, always making sure the children feel loved and safe.

The environment is bright, fun, and full of activities that help kids learn and grow. Watching our little one develop new skills, make friends, and become more confident has been amazing. We're so grateful for the caring team and the happy start they've given our child. We highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Twickenham to any parent looking for a warm and nurturing place for their little one.

Overall Experience

I am extremely pleased with the care and environment provided by Monkey Puzzle Twickenham. My daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 9 months old, and she is now four years old. She is a confident and happy girl, which I attribute to the warm, friendly, and loving staff.

Whenever I arrive to pick her up, she often refuses to leave, which is a testament to how much she enjoys her time there. I highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Twickenham to any parent seeking a nurturing and supportive early years setting.

Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending this wonderful nursery since she was 9 months old. Now, at four years old and in preschool, she has blossomed into a confident girl who talks very clearly. She loves coming to the nursery, and on weekends, she often asks for Lilly and her friends. She lovingly says, "Mamma, I miss Lilly and my friends."
We are especially grateful for the positive impact Monkey Puzzle Twickenham has had on her development. She is so proud to have learned to write her own name, and she credits her progress to the nurturing and inspiring environment at the nursery.

Thank you for all the care and support you provide in helping her grow and thrive.

Overall Experience
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

Overall Experience
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.

Review from Claire S (Mother of Child) published on 17 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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.

Review from Sairah K (Mother of Child) published on 4 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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
Overall Experience
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

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.

Review from Sana FS (Mother of Child) published on 31 August 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

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.
