About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

My son attended the Daycare for a year and a half. He started out a bit shy and unsure of himself. The lovely staff-and especially the management-welcomed him with so much love. For us as parents, it was so easy to leave him there, knowing he was receiving all that attention and affection. He absolutely loved going there! He was able to grow and develop, and I am incredibly grateful for all the activities they did with him.
Thank you for your lovely review and kind words. We miss your son and wish him all the best as he begins this exciting new chapter at school. Were so grateful your family was part of our nursery.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery for the wonderful care, support and kindness they have shown our daughter over the past three years.
From the very beginning, the nursery had such a warm, friendly and family-like atmosphere. The staff are genuinely caring, approachable and always happy to help. Most importantly for us as parents, our little one was happy going there, felt comfortable and secure, and built lovely relationships with the staff and other children.
During her three years at Monkey Puzzle, we saw her grow so much. She became more confident and independent, learned an incredible amount and developed many of the social and learning skills that have helped prepare her for starting school. We really feel that the nursery played an important part in giving her such a positive foundation for the next stage of her life.
Thank you Lilian and the amazing team!
From Niko and Paula

We have had both our children go from 1-4 years old through Monkey Puzzle so we've known the nursery through the last 8 years. Each of our kids had very different needs and personalities to which the nursery and its staff were hugely supportive of. Both children formed firm relationships with children and staff alike and there were many consistent staff throughout our time at the nursery. They still talk fondly of their time at the nursery and both transitioned to school with ease courtesy of the foundations the nursery helped them to build.
Thank you so much for sharing such a fantastic review! Your thoughtful words and support are greatly appreciated. Its wonderful to know were making a positive impact.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for several years now, and although don't live in the area, I chose to keep her enrolled because of the outstanding care she receives. When we first started, there were limited options locally, but now that more places are available closer to home, we still prefer this nursery because of the wonderful experience she continues to have. The staff are warm, friendly, and genuinely caring, and my daughter absolutely loves going there. Thank you to the entire team for your dedication and the fantastic work you do! She is now going to school, and I will miss Monkey puzzle
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. It really means a lot to us and we truly appreciate your kind words.

Today was a very special day for Anabia, as it was her first day at school, and she went very confidently. I am so grateful to all of you for helping her become such a confident and intelligent girl.
Anabia misses you all very much and often talks about her nursery friends. Thank you once again for everything-you truly mean the world to her!

Both of our children went to Monkey Puzzle nursery - from 2 years old, until school age - and both had a wonderful time. They made friends, were cared for & supported by the lovely staff, and did lots of fun activities (you get little photo updates during the day of the activities they are doing too, which was a nice touch). They both grew in confidence during their journey, and finished excited and well-prepared for school. I would recommend the nursery.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We truly appreciate your feedback and are grateful for your support.
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...
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.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We truly appreciate your feedback and are grateful for your support.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
Thank you for giving us such a positive review! We truly appreciate your kind words.
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...
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.

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.

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.

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.
