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.

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.

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

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.

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!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

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.

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bexleyheath 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 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 Bexleyheath is calculated as follows: ( (503 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 503 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bexleyheath is based on 42 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 140 number of registered child places is 28, which has been reached with 42 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
