Overall Experience

My daughter loves it at Monkey Puzzle - it has a lovely community and a good selection of activities such as Spanish, PE, show and tell etc. Great outdoor space now with a lot of space to work off some energy. Staff are all great - very supportive esp. during potty training. Niamh has become very close to her friends and the staff here.

Overall Experience

I love that Mya enjoys coming to Monkey Puzzle. It's clear she has made a lot of friends and has shown improvement with her speech and potty training.

The only thing I have noticed is she has had a lot of changes in regard to her care person. I understand changes happen, but with her needs, it would be good to have a consistent person monitoring her development.

Massi goes into nursery in the morning with a smile, ready for an exciting day.

Review from Nicola F (Mother of Child) published on 19 June 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
As a parent, I couldn't be happier with the care and support my child receives at this nursery. The recent Ofsted inspection result was fantastic and well deserved, reflecting the dedication and hard work of the whole team. Since the new leadership team came in, the nursery has continued to go from strength to strength. They are attentive, approachable, and genuinely invested in providing the best experience for children and families.

My child loves the outdoor space and comes home happy and excited to share what they have been learning. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing, engaging, and well-led environment for their child.

Overall Experience

We've been very impressed by the level of care and attention our daughter has received. She goes 5 days a week and is always happy when dropped off. We have also been very pleased with her development, she always has new words and skills to show us at home.

Communication with the staff has been very easy and all requests have been adhered to.

Highly recommended by us!

Sheena Patel
Sheena PatelJob Title:Nursery OwnerJoined: 2023

My name is Sheena Patel.

I am a dedicated mother, qualified physiotherapist and the owner of Monkey Puzzle Streatham Common and Monkey Puzzle West Norwood.

Becoming a mum ten years ago made me reconsider my career aspirations. I watched my children develop and grow, and my experience was eye-opening, igniting my passion for early years learning. When looking for a nursery, I always felt they could do more and provide better opportunities for my children. This motivated me to open my own nursery, aiming to create a special place where families could get the same inspirational childcare that I wanted for my children.

Young children thrive on care and attention. They give so much love back when you are part of this positive experience. I promise you, Streatham Common will give this to your children like they were our own. We want you to have the peace of mind that your little ones will be given everything they need to learn, develop and thrive. My nursery is the place I would have wanted my children to learn and grow in. I know that if you come in and visit, you will think the same. Please get in contact with us. We would love to welcome you into our family.
