The staff are most certainly amazing, very good, friendly and professional. Our child bonded with them so strongly that they could not wait to get back to the nursery on Monday. Good learning, food and activities.

Review from Emma C (Mother of Child) published on 11 March 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our two daughters aged 3 and 10 months have thrived since they started at Monkey Puzzle. Our 3-year-old was very clingy at first and unsure about us leaving her. But within weeks she was asking if she could go every day. The girls have weekly entries on their online learning books, enabling us to see
pictures, videos and read about what they’ve been up to.
They are provided with nutritious, home cooked food. Our fussy 3-year-old has started eating food that she wouldn’t even try before. This is due to the time and encouragement the staff have taken with her at meal times.
Our baby loves her key worker and we see regular videos of her dancing to music and songs, always smiling and having a great time.
Overall, we can’t praise Monkey Puzzle enough. The nursery is clean and bright. The outside area is ideal for little ones. The staff are attentive, kind and caring. We are very happy we chose Monkey Puzzle.

Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery is the best ever. The staff are so lovely and lovely the children beyond words. Learning experience for children is evident, even in their communication at home. I would highly recommend this nursery. Thank you for all you for the kids in their learning process.

I think Monkey Puzzle staff are really easy to communicate with and is a very friendly environment. My son really enjoys it at Monkey Puzzle and is attached to his key worker when there. I really like the way they write the important key things in the diary he brings home with him. Overall I think Monkey
Puzzle is a great nursery.

I have two children at this nursery and have been happy from day 1. The staff care for my children as if they were their own and I always receive honest, detailed feedback about their day. The children always seem happy and well entertained.
The staff are friendly and informative and the resources
are educational, well looked after and in good condition. The garden is a massive selling point with its soft poor and astroturf areas. I would not hesitate in recommending this nursery to friends and family.

There have been so many positive developments in recent months it has been wonderful to see the nursery grow. The environment is always positive and I am always happy to leave my son there. He clearly loves the daily activities and doesn't want to leave sometimes when I go to collect him! The staff
have a very genuine, caring approach and a genuine interest in my son both inside and outside of the nursery.

My 9-month-old daughter loves going to nursery, she's very excited when we pull into the car park and never wants to leave! She's cared for in every single way that a first-time mum could ask for, she's always happy, eats well and sleeps well too. I couldn't ask for better care for my daughter. She
has grown and developed extremely well since coming to Monkey Puzzle and she continues to impress me every day with new things she has learnt at the nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been sending my son here since April 2017 and I am extremely happy with the care he receives. His carers are really attentive to his needs and adapt to any changes. I have seen him grow and learn new things really quickly which I know he has learned from being at nursery. It is a lovely environment
with lots of toys and displays of children's artwork that all changes regularly to keep it interesting for them. I drop my son off and go to work feeling assured that he is going to be looked after and is having fun and learning at the same time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been fortunate enough to have been onboard with Monkey Puzzle since it opened. I was initially impressed with how well thought out the facility is and the genuine intentions of the staff. I have seen the learning curve that the management and staff have been on and experienced first hand the
growing pains have presented but notwithstanding all of these, it is clear that at no point have any of these issues been to the detriment of my children's learning. I feel the value of being a parent whose children attend Monkey Puzzle and feel that any feedback is taken into account and actioned. I would not hesitate to recommend Monkey Puzzle to friends and family.

Monkey Puzzle day nursery provides sound early years education in Toddlers. Our experience so far has been pleasant. Our son is continuously being nurtured and supported.


There is an abundance of play and learn activities available at all times to children who attend Monkey Puzzle.


Good, sound

While being in the baby room (my child only recently moved rooms), she was well cared for and supported. She has been developing appropriately for her age. Any issues that have been mentioned eg, nappy rash, it was addressed quickly. I have been concerned about the limited opportunity for assessment
and feedback to me as a parent in relation to the development of my child. A new nursery that are making changes ...

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.174)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.174) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Aylesbury is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.988 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Aylesbury is calculated as follows: ( (83 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.988
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.186 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Aylesbury is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.7
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 72 number of registered child places is 14.4. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.486
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
