I cannot rate Monkey Puzzle highly enough! All staff are so attentive and adore the children. I’m so so happy with all that they do! The variety of learning is excellent and they have so much fun with the children. My little boy has come on so much since joining!

My son has attended Monkey Puzzle for the last 3 years. He loves it... The staff are friendly, the food is excellent as there is a chef on site. The activities are fun and very educational. His development has been amazing and I put this down to his time at Monkey Puzzle. In the last 3 years, he has
only had a couple of days off which is a testament to the hygiene and the care of the children. I would highly recommend this nursery after me and my son's experience.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Sadly we were only here for a couple of months short due to a house move, but my Son absolutely loved it. He couldn't wait to get through the door in the morning, and much to my embarrassment ....never wanted to leave! The staff were so friendly and kept his busy mind occupied with role play and activities.
He even had weekly French lessons and has come away being able to count up to ten and with a good range of basic vocab. He is so keen now to learn more. I am over the moon! I just wish we didn't have to go. Thank you Monkey Puzzle!

My son has been at Monkey Puzzle for almost 6 months. He has additional needs and has one to one funding for 15 hours. The staff have been amazing with my son and also with my husband and myself. From where my son was 6 months ago to where he is now, is astonishing, and we can't thank the staff there
enough for their care and dedication through this journey. Well done Monkey Puzzle, you have made such a huge difference to our lives.

This nursery has very good facilities. All staff are very happy and seem to really enjoy their work. Freshly cooked meals are provided. My child loves his time there. They do many activities and always have things happening which makes his time there very interesting. I think they provide a lovely environment
for little ones to play in. I can't find any faults at all. I can't speak highly enough of this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended this nursery for over a year and we could not be happier. The wonderful staff at Monkey Puzzle create a warm and welcoming home from home, and have a fantastic attitude, seeing children as individuals and supporting learning and developing at the child's own pace, rather than
following a strict checklist in a book approach, which we have unfortunately experienced with other local nurseries. The facilities and food are fantastic and I have great confidence in leaving my daughter in the capable care of this lovely nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son joined the nursery three years ago and my daughter 20 months old also attends. Both of my children love going and have developed lovely bonds with the staff there. As parents my husband and I couldn't be happier with the love and care shown to our babies and as an early years teacher myself I
know my children are experiencing an outstanding learning environment. Them monkey puzzle staff are friendly and very creative, providing wonderful activities for all of the children.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Excellent nursery with dedicated staff. We have both children in this nursery and have been with them for 4 years. We have never been let down or had any reason to believe that they are getting anything but the best nursery care and attention. Children are encouraged to be polite, inquisitive and
kind to others. There is just the right balance between discipline and encouragement. Each child has a dedicated nursery nurse who manages their development and keeps us parents informed of our child's progress and needs. They are also very flexible when it comes to changing dates around to accommodate holidays or other family commitments.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.967)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.967) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Stratford upon Avon 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 6 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 4.972 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Stratford upon Avon is calculated as follows: ( (70 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.972
  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 3.995 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Stratford upon Avon is based on 6 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 + 0.1 = 3.6
    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 76 number of registered child places is 15.2. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.2 = 0.395
  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.
