Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Irthlingborough Reviews (161)
Over all time Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Irthlingborough has 161 reviews.
Also, there have been many occasions where I have been exiting the car park and have seen people purposefully waiting to be allowed in. In my opinion, if they do not know the passcode they should not be coming in, otherwise it defeats the purpose of the barrier in the first place. It might be beneficial to have two separate barriers to prevent this otherwise, I'm very happy.
Our Day Nursery is situated in a Business Center, which also has a popular family Dentist and a Day Center for Individuals with Autism. The car park does have a barrier gate, which is shared with the other Businesses, as well as the people who use these other services, over which we have no...
I moved both of my daughters here over a year ago from our village pre-school and haven't looked back. My eldest daughter attended for over 6 months before going to school in September and my younger daughter still attends weekly sessions. The nursery has a warm and friending atmosphere from the moment you step through the door. The staff are a real credit to the nursery and within hours of my daughters starting at the nursery they had already worked out their personalities and used that to get the best out of them. I would definitely recommend Monkey Puzzle.
My boys have only just joined this nursery but they have settled really well. Both them and I felt welcome from the moment we arrived and the staff have been very kind and caring throughout our time there. They have a real interest in both the development and happiness of the children they work with and always keep the parents informed. I have been very happy so far.
Happy, pleasant environment for children to learn and develop. My daughter is happy here, she has many friends both peers and staff. She enjoys every day and is always happy and smiling when I pick her up
I would recommend this nursery to any parent 100%.
Both of my children attend this nursery (one in the baby room and one in the toddler room) and feel that the care they receive from the staff at the nursery is second to none. They love coming and they have fun and learn at the same time.
The staff make you feel so welcomed and update you on your child's progress every day.
This is a fabulous nursery and anyone looking to put their child into here will have no regrets.
Couldn't ask for a better nursery. Staff are so lovely and my child always receives the best care. He absolutely loves going to nursery and always has lots of activities to keep him busy. His speech and general learning has greatly improved since joining Monkey Puzzle.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough. I am a shift worker with odd date changes and the nursery are very flexible with this. The staff are very friendly and always on hand to help. The children are always smiling and happy. My child loves it there and I like taking him there!
I would highly recommend this nursery. It has great facilities, the staff are always helpful and very good with the children. My daughter settled in very quickly and has always been very happy to go to nursery.
Very good at looking after the children and they have great carers looking after the children within the school. The sensory room is amazing with all the interactive features and activities in the room. The rooms set out are fabulous and the activities are great. I also really enjoy going in the school holidays as they have lots of school outings.
I was so happy with the pre-school here. My little boy grew in confidence, had so many activities to keep him happy and get him ready for school, they have a lovely garden and a big field to play in, which is fantastic as my little guy loves to be outside. The staff are lovely and helpful and the manager is brilliant. Thank you so much.
Fantastic setting with excellent staff. As a parent or carer, you are always kept fully informed of what your child has been doing each time they attend. The children are always having lots of fun whilst learning at the same time.
Really great Nursery. Both my grandchildren have attended the nursery, the youngest is now in preschool. Great bunch of ladies who really do an amazing job of looking after the kids. Looks like great fun, food, experiences and love the wide open space outside the nursery... can Grandparents attend too?
Both my children attend the setting. The Principal is fantastic, being a qualified teacher. Both my girls always have good fun playing with their friends and the staff. There is a nice feel and atmosphere in the nursery, with the staff always being willing to help and really care for all the children.
My Daughter uses the holiday club at Monkey Puzzle. She cant wait for the school holidays to go and play with her friends, and always comes home with loads of craft creations. The staff are really friendly and seem to know all the children. Can't recommend it enough!
Fantastic nursery, my little girl has gone there for over a year and wouldn't pick anywhere else. Staff are lovely and there are lots of activities to do. They always work with your child to develop skills like talking and feeding.
Very welcoming and friendly nursery, with highly trained staff. My girl has been attending for the last year and I am extremely happy with the care she receives. I would recommend this nursery to all my family and friends.
Both my Grandchildren have attended the nusery, the staff are amazing. The care, love, nurturing is evident throughout the nursery. The daily activities are stimulating and enjoyed by both staff and children. The warmth and love is evident throughout. It is evident that all children there are happy to be there, the laughter, play and smiles say it all. What an amazing space for them to be in.
Monkey Puzzle Nursery Irthlingborough is an outstanding nursery with staff that really care and are passionate about the children. The staff have a very personal touch and knowledge of each child.
I have had bad experiences with a day nursery that my twins went to who are now 14 and was a bit wary of putting my daughter into a day nursery but the staff are all friendly and very family orientated and excellent with my daughter.
I always recommend Monkey Puzzle to family and friends.
I couldn't ask for a well managed and friendly staff for my daughter to be around
Our daughter attends full time. What a great place! She's been to other childcare places over time but our daughter really misses not going to Monkey Puzzle, and you can tell. They hold events all year and take care of our daughter. When picking up we get a daily debrief, any issues, any bumps etc are all recorded and acknowledged.
Food is great, even got offered some when I was there waiting for my daughter to finish her lunch. Yum yum!!

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.”

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.
