Review from Laura R (Mother of Child) published on 11 April 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I would definitely recommend Monkey Puzzle Irthlingborough.

The surroundings are clean and bright and offer the children a great use of indoor and outdoor space. The nursery provides regular updates on your child's development and provides a diverse range of activities and learning through play following the EYFS.

My daughter has been extremely happy and continues to enjoy nursery. She has built strong friendships with staff and children and I could not thank the team enough for the care they provide.

Keep up the good work monkey puzzle.

My 1-year-old is settling in well at Monkey Puzzle and has gained a huge amount of confidence since joining just 2 months ago.

My 5-year-old loves after school and holiday club, she gets so excited about her ‘Monkey Puzzle Days’. Great activists available to keep her busy.

Both kids love the food on offer here.

Great staff, very friendly and helpful.

Overall Experience

Excellent nursery that provides a first class service to a range of ages. Helpful friendly staff, that always greet you with a warm welcome. Flexible hours to suit all circumstances and good value for money. The activities the children are involved in are great fun and educational and I can see how my little one has progressed on a day to day basis. I also use the before and after-school club, which has proved invaluable to us. Our eldest loves attending, including holiday club, and always asks is it a Monkey Day! Overall highly recommended!

Review from Lou U (Mother of Child) published on 11 April 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been at Monkey Puzzle for two years and he thoroughly enjoys it (talks about it at home non stop). My daughter attends before and after school club and holiday clubs and I can’t get her home. The range of activities and thought that goes in to planning is fabulous. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming that it’s no wonder the children love their time there; they make me smile at the end of the day. The facilities and space you won’t find at any other local nursery. Great place!

Overall Experience

My son has been at Monkey Puzzle Irth for 3.5 years. I can honeatly say from his education to staff support, Monkey Puzzle have been outstanding. The nursery is also very maintained, clean and the equipment is always in sharp condition. I have also been involved in stay and play days which the nursery encourage the parents to get involved with school activities. Finally the nursery has state of the art technology updating you on progression, meals and weekly educational forecasts. I'm a pound father and the school has brought the best out in my son. Say no more.

Overall Experience

My children always come home having enjoyed nursery and after school club. They take part in lots of different activities and enjoy well cooked meals. The staff in all areas are polite and welcoming. They are approachable and friendly. The nursery take security very seriously and I know I do not need to worry for my children’s safety. The holiday clubs are very useful and they offer clubs when the schools announce they are closed due to the weather which can be a life saver. Overall we are very happy with our choice of nursery.

Review from V M (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter absolutely loves attending the after school and holiday clubs run by Monkey Puzzle. They offer a wide range of fun activities during the holidays helping to take the guilt away from parents who have to work during this time. The staff are always helpful and responsive to requests, even stepping at the last minute in to cover childcare needs during school snow day closures.

My daughter has built some lovely relationships with the staff who look after her and truly enjoys her time with them. She also loves the food cooked, always looking forward to her meal times there and I am happy that she is receiving a nutritious and balanced meal. The facilities are continually being improved and expanded and I feel that her environment is always very well maintained.

Overall Experience

This is a wonderful nursery. My daughter loves going even when she's not feeling well! My daughter has come on leaps and bounds, she loves the one on one, the fantastic sensory room. All the nursery workers are so friendly and really look after the children, management are brilliant too if there's a problem they deal with it very quickly and resolve any issues! I've recommended this nursery to a few people and now their children are there. It's just an awesome place for my daughter to be!

Great nursery, friendly staff, great setting, plenty of parking, both my children attend and are very happy and settled here. My daughter has multiple allergies and they can't do enough to accommodate her. The family app is great, you can keep up to date with what they are doing.

Overall Experience

My son started school last September, he has had a great start from Monkey Puzzle in Irthlingborough. He is way ahead of all his school friends. He is able to write his name, dress and undress himself with ease. He is a happy and confident boy and has made lots of friends at school. The staff here are very friendly and focused on the children in their care. The nursery manager is approachable, knowledgeable and accommodating. The nursery was a pleasant experience for my family.

Leanne Skelton
I have been working here at Monkey Puzzle Irthlingborough since just after we opened. I have over 19 years’ experience in Child Care and am Level 5 qualified. I also have 3 children of my own, so all my spare time is spent taking care of teenage boys!

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. Michelle has experience of working with children who have multiple barriers to their learning with a vast array of needs and abilities. 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.
