The Review Score of 9.9 (maximum of 10) for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bexleyheath is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 73 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bexleyheath in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 50 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Day Nursery / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Day Nursery receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.908 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bexleyheath is calculated as follows: ( (796 Excellents x 5) + (72 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 872 Ratings = 4.908
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Day Nursery to friends and family?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bexleyheath is based on 50 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 15.4 positive Reviews (77 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 50 Reviews ÷ 15.4 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bexleyheath has a Review Score of 9.9 (9.908)

My son has been attending for 3 months now and is in the baby room. He loves it there and me and my wife have trouble trying to get him to leave. I really love the fact that I'm able to see pictures of what he has been up to on my laptop on my lunch break. He seems to really enjoy the food was a bit worried has before he started was a really fussy eater. The girls in the room are great and really friendly and always give me a detailed handover of what he has enjoyed going. I would gladly recommend nursery.

My Grandson loves going to this nursery. I often drop him off and pick him up, he’s happy to go to the staff in the room and they take him to go find his friends to play with. When I pick him up he’s always engaged in something and I love seeing his artwork that gets sent home. He tells me all the staff members name and talks about his friends, I would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bexleyheath.

My son has been going to this nursery since he was 7 months old and I love the care that he receives. The baby room was such a caring and lovely room with attentive staff my son grew brilliant bonds with all of them. He is now in the Tweenie room and again has such a lovely bond with his key person and he is extremely fond of her. It's so comforting to know I can leave him and he has that person for support and care.

My son absolutely loves this nursery. It has become his second home. He has enjoyed making friends and has a good bond with his key worker and he speaks about them at home. I have always found the staff to be polite and can approach them regarding his development. I like to see my sons observations on his learning journal and seeing how much he has developed. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

My son attended this nursery from the age of 2 right up until he started school! I cannot fault the nursery at all, he loved it and I loved it. He made some great friends and built lovely bonds with the staff!! It was easy to leave him knowing that he was happy to be there and in good hands! He is now doing so well in school and settled in so quickly and I cannot thank all the amazing staff more as they prepared him for his new adventure!! There were lots of tears from everyone on his last day and he still talks about Monkey Puzzle now!!

Absolutely GREAT nursery!
Every time I pick my niece up she always tells me about her day and how exciting it was!
She always brings home artwork and things she has made as well as bringing home all the new songs she has learnt
She has been attending for a year and it has been the best thing for her to help bring out her confidence. Thank you Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bexleyheath.

My first child attended Monkey Puzzle when it first opened in 2013 and stayed until going to school last year. My second child joined in November 2017 and we are very happy to see that the nursery has not lost any of its unique points. The owners are always around, it is clean, the staff are amazing and very attentive. I love the updates we receive and the online journal is fab.

My son has been attending this nursery for a few months now. I was a very nervous mum to leave my child for the first time but the staff made my child and our family feel very welcome. All staff are approachable and my son enjoys his time here. I am looking forward to watching my child grow and to work his way through all the rooms in the nursery. Management and owners are very polite and helped with all my worries and give me regular update via phone about my sons day. Strongly recommend this nursery.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Lexie N (Mother of Child) on Monday 12 February 2018. Relates to February 2018.
My child has been at this nursery for 6 months now after moving from another local nursery where they would not settle. My child immediately settled at Monkey Puzzle and instantly built strong bonds with the staff. The Nursery is very clean and welcoming and all of the staff are very friendly. My child has been on trips such as the park, farm, library, dentist (which has helped him overcome the fear of seeing the dentist). They have had the zoo come to them as well.
My son loves taking part in Tot Stars and Theatre Street and also loves the sing and sign class which they do. Moving my child to this Nursery was the best thing I ever did.

My grandson has been attending the nursery for the last year. It’s always a pleasure picking him up every Friday has his always very talkative about the fun he has had and can’t wait to show me all his artwork in his box. He has really come out of his shell and become a confident little boy. The staff are always polite, friendly and kind girls, it’s a really good nursery and I’m glad my grandson has a wonderful time here.

My son has been attending Monkey Puzzle for the last 6 months, I am extremely impressed with his development in this time and the level of care he receives every day that he attends the nursery. I'm a first time Mum and one of the hardest things to do is to leave your child but the staff are all very friendly and kind so made it a lot easier knowing his in safe hands. I would highly recommend the nursery.

We've just sent our second child to Monkey Puzzle, our first graduated last year, we are just as pleased with the nursery the second time around. It's a bright and fun space for children with lots of equipment, toys and fun activities, always lots of messy and educational activities going on. Particularly pleased they now offer sing and sign. Staff are easy to approach and talk to, they really listen and take on-board what we have to say and our little one loves all the staff in the baby room. We love that they take the kids out on regular outings, they recently visited a local farm, our little one can't get enough of animals and so were in their element.

Our eldest child had happily attended Monkey Puzzle Bexleyheath in the past and so there was no question when it came to putting our youngest in there recently. Our little man couldn't be happier he absolutely loves going there, he loves all the staff in the baby room not to mention the decor, he is particularly drawn to the black and white safari mural on the wall in the room. I thought the place was already amazing but things only seemed to have gotten better, love the fact that they offer sing and sign for all the kids, they seem to have new and improved IT equipment and new outdoor equipment which compliments the already nice colourful outdoor play area. We like the fact that they often take the little ones out for trips including visits to the local park and farm.

The staff at Monkey Puzzle are outstanding - they are all so kind and caring.
My daughter comes home every night telling me all about her day and the activities that she has been doing.
They take the children out on little trips to the library and the farm which is great.
It's so nice to go to work knowing that my child is happy and in safe hands.

My daughter has been attending Monkey Puzzle for three years and she absolutely loves it! The staff are so kind and caring - they have made my daughter feel so welcome and she has come on in leaps and bounds since she started. She has grown in confidence and has learnt so many new skills.
The online diary where you can watch videos and see pictures of what your child has been up to that week is fantastic.
I wouldn't look elsewhere for a nursery - in fact, my son is due to start in the summer.

I have two children at the nursery, a 4-year old who has attended since April 2017 and a 1-year old who has attended since October 2017 and have always been extremely pleased with the genuine care given to the children. Our 4-year old joined with speech/concentration difficulties, but with the support of the onsite SENCO and keyworkers plus their proactiveness in working alongside my husband and me, he has made amazing progress and SaLT (Speech and Language Therapy) no longer have concerns about his development in this area.
The setting is clean, safe, modern and all staff are always professional and friendly and it is by far the best all-rounded nursery we have come across.

I am glad that we found Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bexleyheath to look after our child while we are working, everyone at the nursery is friendly and approachable, unlike some other nurseries which we went to look at previously. Our child is excited every morning to go to nursery and has learnt so much since being under their care! There is a wide variety of nutritious meals available for the children everyday, our child has had the opportunity to try many different meals which he may not have had at home which is great as he is able to try new things.

My child has been under the care of Monkey Puzzle Bexleyheath since he was 1, he is now 2 and within the year he has been here he has learnt so much! Every day he comes home, he has learnt something new whether it is new words or learning to do things such as feeding himself independently. All of the staff are friendly, caring and encouraging, nothing is ever too much trouble for them. I would highly recommend this nursery to everyone, I was apprehensive to go back to work and having to leave my baby at a nursery but the staff at Monkey Puzzle put my worries at ease!

I sent my daughter to Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bexleyheath and she left 2 years ago. The nursery helped her with everything she needed from day to day learning to bring her out of her shell and finding her personality which has helped her confidence dramatically in primary school. We’ve now sent our son to the nursery and he is doing the exact same every day. He’s coming home happier and excited and it’s bringing out his character so much, we will most definitely be sending our 3rd child here when he comes of age. A great place where the teachers are very helpful, hands-on and very friendly and accommodating to both children and parents.

Our first child (daughter) attended at the age of two in 2012, she had the best experience. Loved all the teachers and enjoyed every minute she attended Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bexleyheath. She would even request that I dropped her off as early at breakfast and not to pick her up until she had her evening snack. All of the staff were welcoming and friendly. When we had to start thinking about childcare for our 2nd child in 2017, we straight away knew it had to be Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bexleyheath. The staff again were so welcoming and some even remembered us and our little one. We also have a 3rd one who no doubt will be attending Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bexleyheath. I am so proud of how the staff care and give each child the attention they need. And from experience as they progress throughout the whole of the nursery and prepare them for school couldn’t be any better. My eldest had no issue starting her new school thanks to the persistent, confident and educated staff to ensure that she grew from a shy 2-year-old to a confident little girl.

The upper preschool worked with the children to create a Christmas play. All the children had a part and we were invited to watch. It was amazing to see my son singing Christmas songs with his friends. It was such a great thing to see and the efforts were great.

My son attended this nursery until starting school, my daughter is now in the Tweenie room and loves nursery. The staff are excellent with the children, they have varied activities and I love being able to log online to see what they are up to. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for childcare in Bexleyheath.

I absolutely love sending my daughter to this nursery. I know that she is well looked after because when she goes to the nursery, she doesn’t want to leave. Her learning has come along very well. I would recommend this nursery to everyone I know with young children.

All 3 of my children have been part of the Monkey Puzzle, Bexleyheath family. I say family and I mean it - it really does feel that way. Although my son left 2 years ago he is welcomed by all of the staff and they involve him.
My eldest daughter is about to complete her Monkey Puzzle (MP) journey, having been there from 1 year old to now 4 and moving on to school. I honestly couldn't ask for more from them. At every stage, she has been provided with amazing care, excellent food (most meals she has seconds) and a fun but educational environment. She has bonded with so many members of staff - the management really does pick the cream of the crop!
The staff do not only form relationships with the children but also us, the parents. I always feel I can speak to them openly and make suggestions or requests. They plan activities that involve us like the mother and father day breakfasts.
My youngest daughter has started her journey with (MP) Bexleyheath this year, I wouldn't even consider sending her anywhere else!

Excellent facilities with numerous activities for development and play. They offer a healthy and varied menu encouraging children to try new things. The staff are brilliant, friendly and approachable. I'm impressed at how the management are always looking for ways to offer something a bit different (hatching chicks, butterflies, growing vegetables, mothers/fathers day breakfast, to name a few) and keep the children interested and constantly learning. My daughter loves it and has been very happy and settled during her time at Monkey Puzzle.

I feel that Monkey Puzzle offers an exceptional range of activities for all children, however, my favourites are the fact that MUM and DAD can be apart of breakfast on Mothers Day and Fathers Day. My son's dad works very unusual hours, so mid week it is hard for him to spend time with his son. This breakfast made my sons dads day! being able to share such a valuable part of the day, watching what goes on and just being able to have that extra time with his son. Very satisfying.

I made a review earlier and didn't mention that I'm extremely happy with the care and support offered by my son's key person in mini preschool, she is amazing well done. She treats my son like her own and he loves her so much it makes leaving him so much easier.

My son was 20 months when he started and has settled in extremely well all the team in his room are very lovely and caring.
I was very worried when my son started due to bad experience previously in another nursery with my eldest child. But Monkey Puzzle has given me no concerns and I often watch my son happily playing, it's nice and opened planned and my son seems very happy. They regularly update his online profile and he is learning well.

My little girl and I love this place! Extremely friendly, caring and very well educated staff, very safe, cosy, stimulating and clean environment. Very helpful management and policies in place, super fun and varied activities so no time for boredom. Yummy, healthy, and generous menu!
I can't stop being amazed how much self-confidence my daughter's gained since joining the nursery.
My little one can't wait for her "nursery days" and keeps talking about her friends and the nursery at home with great excitement. For me, that's the best proof that she feels happy and safe there.

I sometimes pick my grandson up from nursery and am always impressed that the staff remember me but if it's a new staff member they quite rightly make me wait until someone has verified who I am and that I am authorised to collect him. Children all look to be happy and interacting with the staff well and my grandson often tells me about the fun things he has done with his friends at nursery.

My little boy has attended Monkey Puzzle for 2 years and loves it there. He has developed strong relationships with his key workers and his speech has come on in leaps and bounds. The staff take the time to learn what each child likes and the trips out from the nursery are great. The premises are always clean and interesting for the children. I have no hesitation about sending my little girl when I return to work shortly.

Both my grandchildren go to this amazing nursery. The nursery is very secure with a lot of good CCTV cameras. The staff are all very kind and really look after both my grandchildren. I love looking at their online system and when I pick them up, I love the art work they come home with. I highly recommend Monkey Puzzle. You are an amazing nursery!

My daughter attends the baby room of Monkey Puzzle Bexleyheath. Being a new mum, I was worried about leaving her at day care. However, the staff are fantastic. She attended a weeks trial period to get used to the nursery. And now attends full time. She has settled in well and I am able to see what she gets up to on a daily basis on her online learning journal. The nursery is lovely and the staff are all very friendly. I am very happy to leave her there knowing that she is in safe hands.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Avvy P (Mother of Child) on Friday 11 November 2016. Relates to November 2016.
My child has been attending Monkey Puzzle since January 2015 when he was 10 months old. At first, I was worried and felt guilty about leaving him. However, the staff were absolutely amazing. He settled in so well. He was happy every time I dropped him and also when I picked him up. They passionately took care of his every need and he bonded really well with his key worker.
He is now 2 and a half years old and still thrives there. His development is great, they have always given him the care, loving and attention that he needs. We have been so happy that we increased his days from 2 days to 4 days a week. All credit goes to the nursery as he is developing to be a sociable, polite and thriving little boy. The online daily updates are fantastic as it shows how much he learns and how he enjoys his day.
I cannot recommend the nursery enough, as it is such an important part of my child's life. We are grateful that we can trust Monkey Puzzle as he's in safe hands and extremely happy there.

My youngest daughter has been at Monkey Puzzle since I returned to work in August 2016. She is currently in the baby room and seems really happy there. The staff are friendly and more importantly, kind and affectionate towards my little girl.
The baby room seems a lovely comfortable space and I'm a big fan of the separate sleep room a lot of other nurseries don't seem to have.
Best thing of all is the online system you can log on to so see if they have uploaded any updates on your child, with accompanying photo/video. Makes me feel so much more involved in her day.
All in all, excellent nursery.

My daughter started at the nursery in June 2016 aged 1 and as any parent knows, it's the hardest thing to trust and leave your child. I was so lucky to have found Monkey Puzzle as their number one priority is the children they look after and so much time and care is taken to ensure a smooth easing in process.
I was so impressed as the staff knew after only 5 sessions that my daughter was not herself and by the end of the day she had developed a temperature which was why she was not herself. Everything that you hope a nursery would do for a child is covered here such as security, care, learning and so much more. I would recommend this nursery highly.

My son has been at the nursery since he was 1 year old and is currently 3 years old. The staff are warm and friendly but most importantly are approachable. You really feel they care for your child and my son has thrived there. I've seen him develop skills I never knew he had and I love the fact that I get an email of his progress and log in through the learning journal to see pictures and feedback of his journey. I can even add my own comments. The only issue I have is parking as the site is small and there are limited spaces available.

My son has been attending Monkey Puzzle Nursery since he was 13 months old. I visited many nurseries and chose this one because I loved the feel of it when I walked around. The staff here genuinely care for my son and they also have very few staff changes which means my son is not having to get used to new people all the time. He is always excited to go to nursery which makes me feel brilliant as I always feel guilty about having to work. The staff are engaging and we have an online system which gives me daily updates of his progress which includes pictures and sometimes video evidence too. Would definitely recommend this nursery to any and all nervous parents.

My youngest son is currently at the nursery in the Upper Pre-school since joining in the baby room in 2013.
My eldest son also attended the nursery for a year before starting reception.
I have been very happy with the nursery and the staff.
I feel my boys needs have been met and they have been well cared for.
If I have ever had any concerns however small the management team have listened and acted upon them.
The team have been as flexible as possible over the years to meet my childcare needs which I am incredibly grateful for.
The chef is fabulous and even cooks with the children!
I would not hesitate to recommend the nursery and have done so many times. In fact, my niece also attends now following my recommendation.
I have experienced other settings in the area prior to Monkey Puzzle and have no doubt that this is indeed the best place for my son(s).

My son started Monkey Puzzle when he was about 14 months old. He started in the baby room, then went into Tweenies and then Mini Preschool.
My son absolutely loved it and I completely trusted all the members of staff to look after and care for my son as I would.
The girls who helped look after my son were all amazing!
Thank you to all the members of staff at Monkey Puzzle.

My son attended Monkey Puzzle full-time from Sep 2013 when it opened to Sep 2016 when he left for Reception. From Day 1 he has been happy to go. The staff are outstanding; there have been some changes but transitions have been smoothly handled and each key worker has been good. My son formed deep bonds with all his carers.
There is a good balance of fun and learning activities. Extra activities are arranged like the weekly Theatre Street and Tot Stars classes and visits from the fire brigade, police and the company that brought in creepy crawlies.
The food is excellent and far healthier than school dinners. The chefs teach the older children to cook. There is also a 'Fruit of the Month' session to expose the children to new fruits like pomegranate.
They keep Learning Journals online which means I can log in to see what my son has been doing. On his last day, his key worker asked him who he would miss the most and he said 'All of you because you are all so nice.' Sums it up really.

It's been a wonderful experience for my daughter at Monkey Puzzle Bexleyheath and she misses going there now as she's joined school.
The staff have always been exemplary in all aspects and my daughter has been fond of them. I especially commend the learning journals that the nursery have introduced as it gives parents a chance to see and understand the activities that their children do all day.
Delightful and secure place.

My two boys joined the nursery 10 months ago and I have seen them develop leaps and bounds. What really attracted me to the nursery was its bright and inviting interior, well-organised rooms, sensory area in the baby room and long opening hours (which is ideal for us city workers). They have a good food menu with nutritious foods which is brilliant as the kids have learnt to eat new fruits. In the morning, there are always planned activities set up and we can see their development through these activities through carer feedback which demonstrates the child's new skills on an online parent portal. This is highly impressive as both kids are given daily feedback- not something I have experienced in other nurseries. Their phased induction was very helpful as it eased both kids into nursery very well and the staff were brilliant at helping the kids adjust to milestones e.g. toilet training, changing sleep schedules and moving across rooms. Safeguarding is a priority too.

Our Daughter has been in the nursery over a year and we are very happy with the service provided. I have always had peace of mind when leaving her in the nursery as it is very secure and safe. I love the open rooms as I do not have to worry about my child being taken into an unsupervised area, as well as the freedom to run around. The rooms are very clean and well kept. The owner works there most of the time, he is always willing to help us when we need an extra day, he is a very kind and helpful person. The whole team is very friendly and professional.
We just want to thank all the staff for looking after our daughter :)

My 1 year old son went to the monkey puzzle 4 month ago and I am pleased to see he is having fun and growing up every day. As a first time mum, I am extremely nervous to leave my child with someone else, and I still am as you can imagine! But with monkey puzzle, I am impressed with their security system and the way they really care about the safety of each child there. They even call me every time when they would like to go for a short trip outside, and I do appreciate that and i think that's what a good nursery should do really, especially with nervous mums like me :) Apart from that, my boy seems to love the food there and would finish off his plate most of the days- that's a big relief for me as I am a bad cook and it's such a joy to know your little one is eating well every day. Overall, can't fault my son's nursery really.
