As a parent, I am extremely happy that my son attends this wonderful nursery and I would recommend this nursery to any parent.
This is a very good and caring nursery. All the staff and management are pleasant and understanding of the children's need. They provide a warm welcome when you arrive and good feedback regarding the child's day at nursery. They also have parents evening and you can go to their website and access your child's learning journey through your own given password which is good for parents. My grandson has a lovely time at nursery and enjoys all the activities and has learnt such a lot like his numbers and alphabet.
The element that I admire and works best for my two is the structure and visibility. They have a similar daily structure that I have with regards to meal times, naps etc. and the fact you can see everything they have been up to throughout the day online is very reassuring. I would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle to all friends and family (and I have).
Monkey Puzzle is an excellent nursery and I feel very fortunate that my two children attend Monkey Puzzle Bromley. The leadership, all the staff and the facilities are exceptional. As soon as you go into the nursery, you are met with a 'Good morning' with a beaming happy face, which sets a very good tone for my children and their whole experience at this nursery. The manager is exceptional and is so supportive and helpful if we have any concerns or worries. The staff are so nice and friendly and our children have become very attached to the nursery staff. Thank you Monkey Puzzle Bromley and keep up the excellent work.
Every day is different for the children with lots of activities for them to do, with both indoor and outdoor play time.
Her development over the past year has been amazing to see. Each meal is nutritious and must be delicious as everything is always eaten, having an onsite chef who knows all the children's needs is a big bonus.
The online portal is great, I am able to track everything my daughter has done throughout the day, from playtimes, meal times to naps and also the occasional photo of her playing.
I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone in the local area.
I am over the moon with this nursery. I was so anxious about sending my son to nursery and going back to work, but the staff here have been fantastic especially the management. they are always very professional and happy to spend some time to answer any of my questions. I would definitely recommend this nursery to all of my friends, I feel very sure about going off to work and leaving my son knowing he will get the care and attention he needs.
Such an amazing nursery. Staff are lovely and the manager is like a second mum to all the children. My daughter is very happy there and I just couldn't think of sending her anywhere else. As a Mother I can go to work with peace of mind, knowing she's safe, cared for and enjoying herself!
My son has attended Monkey Puzzle since September and he absolutely loves it. It's a struggle getting him to leave at the end of the day. All the staff and management are amazing, very caring and professional. I love the learning journal which allows you to log in online and see your child's development. The onsite chef is great and I know my son is getting fed lots of nutritious food. They encourage him to try different bits which he doesn't seem to like at home! Overall we are extremely happy with this nursery.
Excellent nursery, wonderful staff and a caring, kind and efficient manager. Can not praise it highly enough. My little girl is very happy here after not settling at another nursery. We are very happy with how far she has come along since starting.
Overall we are really pleased with Monkey Puzzle Bromley. The staff are lovely and always on hand to chat over any queries.
My daughter has improved significantly and has developed some level of confidence since coming to this nursery. She likes it at Monkey Puzzle and I would like to keep her there till graduation. The staff and management are polite and always willing to support my child. I find staff turn around high but will definitely recommend this nursery.
The online learning journal is also a great way of keeping informed of your child's progress and for piece of mind especially in those early days at nursery.
We are very happy with the nursery and intend to send our daughter there as well in the coming months.
All the staff are professional and kind, with thoughtful activities planned for the children. They have an exciting calendar of events, with the Christmas Party a particular highlight for the children and parents too. Thank you all, we'll be sad to leave in the summer when she starts school!
I cannot find fault in the energy and commitment the team show in their everyday roles and the packed annual calendar, the nursery commits to combining activities for the children but also the parents.
Since my son started in the nursery I have watched his eating habits, speaking, listening and interaction skills go from good to amazing. He is confident and assured in children and adults company. He faces everyday head on with a positive and fun attitude, living life to the max.
To know your children are in safe hands whilst your not with them is the best feeling in the world, this has given me the confidence to go back to work knowing that my little boy will receive the best care and attention in my absence, this is something I will never forget.
From the manager, assistants and the chef they give every child 100% of their needs every day. My grandson loves his days there and I feel it will be a great stepping stone into school. Well done to everyone.
I feel the communication is sufficient. I can always email the nursery manager with any questions and get a lowdown on his day when I collect him from the staff in the baby room.
My daughter moved to this nursery at the beginning of December 2016 from another local nursery that did not work for us. I was nervous about moving her as she'd only just adjusted to the previous setting and routine (and is only 17months old) but the help, advice and support received from Monkey Puzzle and all the staff there has been invaluable. As a first time parents, new to the nursery routine, I feel so comforted knowing my daughter is well cared for during the day, in a warm, safe and fun environment. She's settling down quickly and comes home happy, playful and relaxed which says it all. The difference to how she was at the previous nursery is definitely noticeable, and only in a few weeks! From the comments that I've heard from other parents with either older children or those who have attended for longer, fills me with confidence that my daughter will enjoy it more and more, the longer she is there.
It was such a heart wrench to have to put my daughter in a nursery, but from day 1, I was put at ease, whilst my daughter was gradually, and at her own pace introduced to nursery life.
She has come on leaps and bounds whilst being there, her language, mathematics and the way she socially interacts with others, it is amazing to see her development.
The nursery is well equipped, has varied activities, and the children are fed freshly prepared and cooked meals.
I also have to mention how good the learning journal is! The parents can log in each day, to see what their child has been involved in, what and how much they've eaten, how they are developing, and also photos. It certainly helps you to feel at ease and involved.
All credit to the staff and the structure they have there. I am very grateful for all they have done for my daughter so far. Highly recommend.
We are so happy with this nursery. Our daughter settled in very quickly and is now attending pre-school which she absolutely loves. The staff are all amazing. They are professional and so good with the children.
It is a lovely caring setting and they do so many organised and interesting activities with the children. The food menus are great too.
The learning journal online is a brilliant tool to keep you connected with the nursery.
We couldn't be happier. Well done and keep up the great work!
Throughout a year we've noticed huge improvements in our daughter's development, including language, mathematics, social and behaviour.
We receive daily updates on online portal as well as short summary at the end of every day, which is a great way to catch up with staff members.
Our daughter loves it here and made great friends with other children as well as staff members.
Let me also praise the food at Monkey Puzzle- their chef knows how to please little ones with healthy options!

Meet the Team (5)
The nursery is owned by local businessman Arlind Marku, who graduated from Middlesex University in 2007 with a BA Hons in Business Studies and Italian. Since graduating he has run a number of family businesses, always with the intention of returning back to his dream of owning a children’s day nursery. Arlind always aspired “to own a nursery that is full of happiness and joy, creating an environment where children can thrive”. He grew up with very strong family values where children’s upbringing and education was always paramount. “I believe that a child’s successful journey starts from very early education so it was extremely important for me to choose a site which provides the best setting for children to have enjoyable and fun learning experiences”. I enjoy using my business knowledge and passion for children to support our team and improve the opportunities for our children. I am a firm believer that children are our future and we must give them an understanding of how powerful, important, valuable and perfect they are. Keeping children safe and happy alongside meeting and developing their needs will always be at the forefront of what we value as a team."
Stacy qualified with a CACHE level 3 in Childcare and Education. She also has 11 years of experience in childcare with 2-3-year-olds. Stacy has received MAKATON training from the lady who trained Mr Tumble (Justin Fletcher) and although working in childcare is challenging she finds it incredibly rewarding. Working with children has always been a passion of Stacy’s since she was 9 and has been the best career choice she could have made.
When asked why she wanted to work in childcare Stacy said “The reason I work with children is that they are our future generation and I take pride in knowing that I have made an impact on the most important years of their lives.”
“Our vision is to create a wonderful space where children will be safe, cared for, loved and happy. Our children and families will always remain at the centre of what we do. We will provide a space where children and our team can learn, grow and develop with support, encouragement and positivity being the keys to ensuring a high-quality provision.” Nick has previously worked for Asquith Nurseries where he began as a volunteer. He completed his Early Years qualification and worked towards becoming Manager of the company’s flagship nursery helping to achieve an Outstanding Ofsted grade twice and being held over 9 years. Nick’s passion is focused upon supporting both the children’s and the team’s development and helping to deliver the highest standards of childcare across all areas of the nursery. The best part of the day though is always seeing the smiles on the children’s faces as they laugh, learn and play. Nick is a huge sports fan, who especially enjoys football, tennis and cycling. He also loves watching films, reading, visiting the seaside and meeting up with friends over a good cup of coffee to help relax.
I am based at our Bromley branch, but I also support our Orpington and Tunbridge Wells nurseries.
I have worked in Early Years for over 10 years, and I could not imagine doing anything else. I love being a part of watching the children develop and grow, supporting them to reach their personal milestones.
I have previously supported and led Ofsted inspections, supporting nurseries to achieve Outstanding outcomes. I felt extremely proud that we had achieved the highest standards for our families and team.
I have had experience in a variety of different roles. I started my childcare journey, newly qualified as a bank member of staff. I was offered a full-time position as a nursery nurse, and not long after,r I became a Room Supervisor and began to develop my leadership skills.
A few years later, I was given the opportunity to work as a third in charge in the nursery. This is where I gained more managerial skills and began the children and the teams across a range of ages. After a few years, I was a Deputy Manager where my passion for supporting children continued to flourish and I added the role of SENDCO, supporting children with additional needs and further developing our inclusive practice.
I continue to support many children with additional needs, their families and our staff teams with children’s learning outcomes working closely with the Bromley Borough and relevant agencies.
As part of my role, I support with providing enabling environments and with the quality of teaching and learning.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and going on holiday to visit new places.
My favourite part of working with children is building on the high quality care and education, with a strong focus on the teaching and learning. Watching and being a part of children flourishing with a passion for learning is important to me.
I have worked in Early Years since 2002 as a Practitioner and then from 2007 onwards in management. I have a vast experience within Early Years Care and Education and believe that these are the most important and formative years.
I have achieved the completion of my B.A Honours in Early Years Development as well as hold Early Years Professional Status and have previously achieved an Outstanding grading from Ofsted.
In my spare time I enjoy reading, spending time with friends, truck racing, classic 80’s and 90’s Ford cars, Disney and Halloween!
