Monkey Puzzle Bromley is situated in a light-filled Grade-II listed building within walking distance of both Bromley North and South! With an interior purposely designed to provide a home-from-home environment ideal for children to learn and develop through play!
Children start in the cosy and relaxing baby room exploring a space filled with beautiful resources to encourage little minds to grow. Toddlers follow with their wonderfully resourced room including child-sized toilets and a huge focus on developing the children's language and physical development. Downstairs are the older toddler children who have a fabulous time investigating the world around them through play and adult led activities.
The spacious pre school room is the last stop for children before school. Educating the children on the wider world, whilst encouraging and supporting their independence is at the centre of this room's focus.
Outside is no different with a purpose-built playground offering opportunities for all areas of learning to be extended across the age ranges.
There is an inclusive and multi-cultural nursery focused on providing the best care to each individual child. An experienced staff team are employed who are highly skilled and passionate about what they do.
All meals are cooked on site by the wonderful fully trained Chefs and they will cater for any dietary needs your children may have.

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...
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!
Our daughter has joined Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bromley over a year ago and we are very grateful to all the staff (and especially baby room members) for making the transition process easy for us. Our child had had a lot of cuddles, attention and great care. It only took a week to adapt, ever...
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!

We are very happy with the care our daughter receives at Monkey Puzzle nursery. All the staff are friendly, helpful and approachable. We receive detailed feedback about our daughters day upon collection. The parents evenings have been informative so we know how our daughter is progressing. The activities they provide are great and give the children opportunities to learn new things and make new friends. We like using the learning journal to read more and see pictures of some of the different activities. Delicious and nutritious lunch and dinner is provided every day which the children enjoy. The children love playing outside on the slide, scooters and trikes. Although it's not a huge outdoor area it is so important the children are provided with opportunities to play outside. We couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery!

We chose Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery because all the children and staff seemed so happy when we looked around. The nursery had such a nice vibe, which made me feel less guilty about leaving our little one each day. We have had an outstanding experience to date, you can see our son enjoys his time there and we get regular reports on his progress.
The staff have been very supportive. The chef goes over and above to make sure our son's meal is given the extra attention it needs because of his allergies, and the office staff are very reactive to our admin emails and phone calls.

My daughter has been attending Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery since March 2016. She was 6.5 months old when she started, so tiny and I was conflicted but had to return to work. The facilities are excellent, but what makes this particular franchise impeccable are the people behind it. From management, right the way through to the full-time chef - the staff are incredibly kind, professional and lovely to deal with. I had my first parent's evening last night and something that her key worker said to me stuck: "Our baby is growing up so fast". I realised that this is the overall attitude of the nursery. They partner with parents for the best possible outcome for your child. My daughter has been full-time since September and I drop her off every day knowing that she is loved, well cared for and receiving all that she requires for her age. I am kept abreast of developmental areas, daily updates on food, friends, and behaviour. The online journal system is a wonderful tool that I feel I would lost without. Highly recommended!
My son started to attend the Preschool of the Monkey puzzle only 2 weeks ago, and I am so pleased with them. He has learned so much in only a matter of 2 weeks, its really impressive.

My son started to attend the Preschool of the Monkey puzzle only 2 weeks ago, and I am so pleased with them. He has learned so much in only a matter of 2 weeks, its really impressive. He is talking and conversing a lot more, he has learned so much in a short amount of time. The staff are lovely and very very helpful in everything you need. Even though it seems a small place, it fits all the needs and they have divided very well and I think it does work the way they set it up. I am happy with them so far and I would really recommend the Nursery.
My daughter has a great time at Monkey Puzzle which means we are really happy with it. The children are always having a great time when I go in there.

My daughter has a great time at Monkey Puzzle which means we are really happy with it. The children are always having a great time when I go in there. I love the fact that they get fresh air everyday because of the covered outdoor area. I also really like the online reporting system, meaning that you can log in to see what your child has been up to every week. I feel the nursery really helps with her overall development too. I love the fact that it isn't too big or crowded and everybody knows who each child is.

Both our sons (2 1/2 years and 9 months) attend Monkey Puzzle, Bromley. This nursery setting has exceeded our expectations in so many ways. Our eldest son has been in the setting for 8 months now and our youngest son for just one month. They are both very happy and we believe this is because of the friendly and relaxed environment at the setting. All the staff are really friendly and reassuring and have taken the effort to get to know both boys. Both boys have a key worker and we are kept up to date with daily records. It makes it so much easier leaving the boys knowing how happy they are.
The nursery has a chef, who cooks yummy and nutritional food. Our eldest son used to be fussy but the nursery has managed to introduce new foods that he would not eat at home. We have been consulted on menus and can always log into the boys' daily diaries to see what (and how much) they've eaten.
The nursery ensures plenty of fresh air in their routine, which we feel is important and we have noticed significant developments in our sons speech since joining the nursery.
In summary, we are extremely happy with Monkey Puzzle as a setting for our boys and would recommend them with confidence to anyone looking for a nursery setting in this area.

My son adores pre-school here. The nursery is well maintained and the staff are so friendly and approachable and very obviously care for each and every child who attends. The rooms are all colourful and stimulating with endless resources. There are so many activities to keep the little ones entertained and educated. The outdoor play zone is perfect for exploring in all weathers. Messy play is daily and my son adores getting covered in paint and "gloop". Things he doesn't often get a chance to do at home! He has become so much more outgoing and confident since starting here last year and that is down to the caring staff and the amount of fun he has here with his hew friends. I have no hesitation in recommending this setting.

We moved to Bromley area few month ago, went straight to the Monkey Puzzle and never had a second thought. All members of staff are very caring and professional with children but also friendly and supporting with parents, which was very important for us. My little one has never been very chatty, but after just few month at this nursery he is much more confident in trying new sounds. He even sing songs which is an amazing progress in such a short time. And yes, the food! The food is great - always different, prepared on site. It always smells so delicious.
My daughter has been attending Monkey Puzzle since it opened and she couldn't be any happier. At her previous nursery she cried as she didn't want to attend; at Monkey Puzzle she cries as she doesn't want to leave!

My daughter has been attending Monkey Puzzle since it opened and she couldn't be any happier. At her previous nursery she cried as she didn't want to attend; at Monkey Puzzle she cries as she doesn't want to leave!
Her personal development has come so far thanks to the amazing staff and her key worker. She can now write all her letters and knows how to spell a few words, her counting has improved a lot and she has a wider knowledge about the world and public holidays.
My daughter loves the food that's served and every time I pick her up she will tell me what she's had for breakfast, snack, lunch and dessert. There's a wide variety of meals and it's nice for the children to try something new and organic/healthy.
Overall I would definitely recommend Monkey Puzzle to everyone and I'm very impressed with what I have seen so far! X

As well as being well balanced for the kids.
The staff are so energetic, fun and have positive relationships with the kids.
I see a massive difference in my little girl she tries to speak a lot more and I am so happy knowing all the sensory play she does!
The staff always make sure the kids have fresh air and are always getting involved with the kids during play.
There is nothing bad I could say .
They do activities and days for the parents to get involved.
Keep it up guys your all amazing the staff always go the extra if you are ever in need of help as well.

Since my son started at Monkey Puzzle in Bromley, his confidence has grown and continues to everyday. The team really do care and have been very supportive with his toilet training. His key workers are fantastic and do everything they can to help him progress. The food menu is varied and freshly made on site. They have a lovely play area and grow fruit/veg throughout the year- weather permitting. Bottom line is HE is happy so thank you!
When the time came for me to send my son to nursery I was extremely apprehensive. He had never before been in a childcare environment – having only previously been looked after by family members. I really needn’t have worried.

When the time came for me to send my son to nursery I was extremely apprehensive. He had never before been in a childcare environment – having only previously been looked after by family members. I really needn’t have worried.
We visited Monkey Puzzle Bromley prior to it’s opening, yet despite there being no children to see in the setting, it was clear from the bright airy rooms, all-weather outdoor play area, caring professional staff who showed us around and abundance of toys and materials being delivered that this was somewhere I would feel comfortable leaving my child.
As mentioned previously, he had only been cared for my family members, and did not take kindly to being left at the nursery at first, however, all the staff were patient with him and me – reassuring us both - and within a few settling-in sessions (prior to him starting at the nursery properly) he was happy to be left. The speed at which he settles is testament to the kindness and professionalism of the staff – children are very good judges of character!
Since starting at Monkey Puzzle Bromley, I have seen him transform from a clingy shy toddler into an outgoing boy who seems to come home every day singing a new song or displaying a new skill. I’ve also seen him keen to try new foods – thanks to the onsite chef who takes the time and care to prepare nutritious food that I wouldn’t even think of trying him with at home.
But the most important thing to me is that he is very happy there, and that really is down the the staff and the time they take to get to know the children and provide them with a fun, stimulating environment where they want to spend time.

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.”

Nick has been working within early years for over 15 years and joined the company as our Operations Manager. Nick supports our Bromley, Orpington and Tunbridge Wells nurseries providing valuable support to our management teams and overseeing recruitment and operations of the nurseries.“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!
