a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Day Nursery / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Day Nursery receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.8 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Edenbridge is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.8
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Day Nursery to friends and family?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
The 4.357 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Edenbridge is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 14 positive Reviews (70 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 5 Reviews ÷ 14 Target = 0.357

Up to date Monkey Puzzle has been a great nursery for both my son's aged 2 1/2 and 1 1/2, always welcoming and happy staff on duty. I would recommend and have recommended Monkey Puzzle to other mummies.

Thank you for your kind words. We have also noticed how your daughter has blossomed and settled in beautifully, it is so wonderful to see her wave to people as she comes in each morning. We are so pleased that you are finding the online updates useful.

My daughter has been attending the nursery since May this year and I have to say I am so glad we chose this nursery. My daughter is so happy and excited when she arrives at the nursery, sometimes to the point where she doesn't want to leave! It has only been a couple of months and we have already noticed she has much more confidence and her social skills have excelled.
I was slightly apprehensive choosing a new establishment but when we viewed the nursery, the manager was very accommodating and answered all my questions (there were many questions!). The staff are all very helpful and always giving my daughter lots of attention. Her key worker is very keen and helpful and she is very easy to talk to.
An added bonus to the nursery is the food, which is freshly prepared at the nursery.
I would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Edenbridge.

Thank you for taking the time to post such a beautiful review. It means a lot to us. We have the privilege to look after other people’s children that when we receive a review like this, that is so heartfelt it means so much more.

My 5-month-old son joined Monkey Puzzle two and a half weeks ago. The staff have made this transition so much easier than I anticipated. I am a first-time mummy and didn't know how my son or myself would deal with it.
They have been very supportive, open and honest. My son also started weaning before he started, the chef has been very supportive and he loves the vegetables she prepares from him.
I get feedback every day and emails notifying me when a new observation has been uploaded onto his learning journal.
I cannot thank or recommend Monkey Puzzle and its staff enough. They have been brilliant

My son who is now 2 has attended here for nearly a month now from moving him to a nursery that he has been in since he was 8 months old. I was, of course, apprehensive at first at the thought of moving him to a new environment with new people and children, however, the nursery has been absolutely fantastic! Joseph seems happy and has bonded really well with his key worker. His confidence has grown so much as he used to be shy and quiet at his previous nursery. I feel comfortable in knowing he is being well looked after and the staff seem to be really invested in focusing on the learning development of the children within a safe and fun environment. :)
