Cannot praise this nursery enough! My son never wants to come home he loves it here so much! All the staff are super friendly and helpful. The facilities are amazing and they offer so much. My son has come on leaps and bounds since joining. Cannot recommend this nursery enough!
Another keyworker has helped with his fussy eating and managed to get him trying new things he wouldn't even touch before.
The staff are always easy to chat to and happy to work with you to get the best out of your little one.
My two and a half-year-old son absolutely loves his half days at Monkey Puzzle Irthlingborough. The staff are very professional and amazing. My little one has warmed to all of them. They have made him feel safe and secure within their environment, I couldn't be happier with his learning and enthusiasm since starting in September. He comes home shattered lol but tries his best to tell me all about his day with big smiles. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent. They have a lovely garden, soft play room, a lot of equipment and activities to get involved in and I have noticed my son coming on in leaps and bounds since he began his Monkey Puzzle journey.
This nursery is everything a nursery should be, the staff are lovely, friendly and professional. The atmosphere is relaxed, the environment is clean and sensibly laid out, security is very good and the staff are very aware and on the ball. My granddaughters love attending and have learnt so much.
My son absolutely loves this nursery. All the staff are so friendly and the management team are fantastically understanding and easy to talk too.
My only regret is not putting my son into Monkey Puzzle sooner!
We are very pleased with the care our son has received since he started in September, after visiting a number of nurseries we knew that this was the right one for us! Everything is included and we never have to worry about parking when dropping him off. The staff have been fantastic and my son is always happy to see them, we also love the app as we can see what he is up to during the day and can always message them if we need to. There are lots of things for them to do and develop, my son has come on leaps and bounds during his time here.
The nursery have been very flexible and accommodating with our shift patterns and we would happily recommend them to our friends and family!
Great nursery with a lovely team of staff. My daughter really enjoys coming here. I always recommend Monkey Puzzle to people.
I would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Irthlingborough there’s so much to do for children, my daughter got on so well. Staff and management are friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome.
Amazing nursery, supportive staff and fantastic improvements in my niece's development. She loves going to nursery and has so much fun there.
An amazing day Nursery all around. Lovely friendly staff, amazing sensory room! The meals are made fresh every day and the management couldn't be more helpful
My godson comes to this nursery and he is always happy when he comes, the staff are very welcoming and always put parents/carers at ease.
I would highly recommend this nursery
As first time mum leaving my child for the first time, it was very upsetting, however, the staff send photos throughout the day and I can see she is happy which makes the whole process a lot easier on me. I have witnessed how proactive security is and observed the staff not allow entry to someone they didn't recognize which is very reassuring.
Lovely nursery would recommend only feedback I would say is more detailed handovers when collecting as what they have eaten is not always clear on the app.
My son has had the best start possible going to Monkey Puzzle. It is a very anxious time having to put your child into nursery but the staff have been so reassuring and it is obvious how much they care for the children. As a parent, I can walk away knowing my child is safe and well looked after with well organised and varied activities for the children to learn and develop. I would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle.
I cannot recommend Monkey Puzzle enough.
They have been absolutely amazing through our ongoing journey, the staff are nothing but helpful and friendly. The managers are very supportive and go out of their way to accommodate your needs.
They all show immense care and compassion for each and every child and this nursery is brilliant, I would highly recommend them.
Thank you Monkey Puzzle.
Thank you so much for this lovely Review!
My son has a dairy intolerance and I totally trust them to manage this. The app is good for keeping on top of how much food he has eaten and his naps.
They also send me photos of what he is up to. My daily photo really makes my day and I love seeing him so happy there.
The food is of great quality and they also include nappies in the cost, which other nurseries don't. They are also more flexible than other nurseries and always help me to meet my requirements.
My child has found it particularly hard to adapt to nursery life and is still in the settling in period.
A wide range of activities available for the children, in the orange room.
Management are approachable, friendly and always willing to help either in person or over the phone.
My two year old started at Monkey Puzzle Irthlingborough at 11 months and enjoys being part of a friendly, caring, stimulating and safe environment. I love that all the staff know his name and welcome him whenever they see him, even if they work in a different room. The factors that made me choose the nursery were the safety features (fingerprint entry) which are rigorously upheld, the fantastic food with really healthy meals made on site and the online feedback system, which means I can check how he is eating, sleeping etc whilst I’m at work. What I hadn’t expected was the true care, enthusiasm and imagination of the room staff who create a wonderful environment.
I have two children in this nursery, currently age two and three. They both have been attending from approx ten months to one year old and love going to nursery. They are well looked after and have both built great relationships with staff over their time. I'm sure my son will be sad to leave for school this year but thank you to Monkey Puzzle for helping them both to develop and grow.
What a lovely review. Thank you.
Amazing nursery, staff are very friendly and helpful. My children who are nearly 2 years old, love coming to Monkey Puzzle. They complete a variety of different activities and have made amazing bonds with the staff members. Monkey Puzzle Irthlingborough has an amazing garden and amazing rooms to meet the needs for the age range. My children love the sensory room.
Both of my children have attended Monkey Puzzle Irthlingborough, with my eldest leaving last year to attend school. My little boy has been here for 2 years now and really loves it. He only goes 1 day a week at the moment but can't wait each week til he goes. Monkey Puzzle Irthlingborough is a great nursery with great, friendly staff

Meet the Team (3)
This is the best Nursery I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of. The whole team care passionately about Early Years and providing the highest standards of care. We have recently been awarded the Ofsted grading of ‘Outstanding’, something which I am so proud of!
Michelle Mobey Co-Owner and Principal
Michelle is a Qualified Teacher holding a Bachelor of Education (Hons), Qualified teaching status as well as a Master of Arts Degree specialising in Early Years Education. She has been working in education and childcare for over 15 years, as well as bringing up her two children, who attend/attended their settings.
When asked why she wanted to work with children, Michelle replied ” I have always wanted to be work with children. I love their energy, honesty and their total love of everything fun and exciting. I really enjoy sharing new ideas and experiences with them. My hope is that I can create a fun, exciting and caring learning environment. I have a lot of patience, enthusiasm, creativity and enjoy helping children (and adults) to discover new things. I want to create an environment that is exciting and fun for the children and my staff. As long as children are given, love, support and encouragement they will succeed. Job satisfaction was the most important factor in choosing a career, and working with children, I believe, is the ultimate choice.”
Since moving to the UK, from South Africa in 2007, Michelle has worked for the National Autistic Society as a teacher creating highly motivating, sensory, dynamic and visually based lessons. After having her first child she branched out into Childminding and received an Outstanding from Ofsted.

She hopes to pass on this knowledge to her staff and will use her previous experience as a sound base for coaching and staff development.
Michelle is a good people manager, believing that open honesty, clarity and consideration go a long way in inspiring the best from people. She has a strong work ethos and is highly adaptable, motivated and incredibly enthusiastic.
