Absolutely amazing nursery. My son started in May and we couldn't have made a better choice. The staff right from management to apprentices are very friendly, helpful and always smiling. We attended an open day and we felt like a part of the family straight away. Our son is still settling but we can tell he likes it already. Meals are great, facilities are excellent and most importantly safety is exceptional. It was hard for us when we dropped our son off for his first day but everybody was absolutely amazing, they supported us and ensured us that everything will be ok. And it is, I can fully recommend this Monkey Puzzle nursery.
Amazing nursery, amazing staff. My daughter has excelled at everything since joining the nursery, and I believe that's down to the staff and the manager. They have helped her to master potty training and help her overcome her fear of messy play. I can't wait to watch her develop further with the support and care of Monkey Puzzles.
On an open day, the kitchen did some food tasters and it was so reassuring to know that my child was eating fresh, healthy, fulfilling meals and enjoying them.
The nursery and staff are 2nd to none and I can't recommend them enough.
Thank you.
Monkey puzzle is such a welcoming warm nursery. The staff are all so lovely and the care they give the children is second to none.
I can't speak highly enough about Monkey Puzzle. My son started in January and found it hard at first but due to the fabulous, kind and caring staff he soon settled and he runs in now. The learning environment is very stimulating and displays a lot of the children's work. Learning activities are varied and engaging. The outside area is fantastic with a mud kitchen, slide, road with trikes and a sandpit. The staff are always welcoming, friendly and professional. Communication is excellent.
My daughter has thrived so much since being at Monkey Puzzle. She is always excited to go. We are so happy to have found a nursery that is so amazing. The staff are incredible, the care my daughter receives is phenomenal. We cannot fault the nursery in any way at all.
Lovely nursery with very friendly staff. They have plenty of activities for my little one who loves the outdoors. Also, it's a safe environment with its own parking spaces. Lastly, I love that it uses the Family app which ensures that I am always informed with the ongoings at the nursery. Thumbs up from me.
Stunning setting in which my little one has flourished. The staff are amazing and nurture her, the chef and food is excellent and she finishes all her lunch. Updates and pictures throughout the day from the Famly app are lovely so I can see her progress and see what she has been up to. The staff are amazing and a true credit to the nursery and franchise.
Fantastic nursery! Staff are doing a great job at helping my little boy with developing and learning. Would definitely recommend and have recommended before!
Lovely welcoming nursery, staff are always happy to help and the children are well stimulated. My son loves the nursery and looks forward to going each week.
My daughter has been at Monkey Puzzle since it opened. The staff are fantastic with my daughter and with us as a family. My daughter took a while to settle in the blue room, but the staff were always there to help her. My daughter talks about school all the time and loves her time with you all. You're a fantastic nursery and do a great job, not just with my daughter, but with all the children, I would recommend you to everyone.
Outstanding nursery, really can't fault it. My little one has thrived since going there. The staff are excellent and have coaxed her out of her shell and nurtured her learning and development in a clean, colourful and stimulating environment.
1. This was our first experience placing a child in nursery so we were worried about leaving her, the love and support that she’d receive, and her being happy. We needn’t have worried - the staff were incredible in the support that they’ve given us, in going out of their way to facilitate our daughter successfully settling in, and in the bond that they’ve formed with her.
2. The range of activities are fantastic.
3. The meals are excellent - she probably eats better than at home!
4. The attitude of the staff is exemplary. They are a credit to their profession and clearly truly care. They are as proud of our daughter as we are and that means so much to us.
5. The rooms, equipment and facilities are excellent. My wife and I always go to the weekend playdays as we’re big kids at heart and love the toys that they have!
6. The progress that our daughter has made during her first year at Monkey Puzzle is testament to the dedication of the staff.
Amazing nursery! From the very first phone call I made I was made to feel very welcome. My son loves his morning and two afternoon sessions each week. All the staff do an amazing job and it's a great atmosphere. I love the fact I get pictures of my son enjoying his time at nursery on the app. It puts my mind at ease. Thank you for providing a wonderful experience for my son!
Lovely and fantastic nursery, a great start to your child’s future with a bright exciting setting, always lots of fabulous activities going on and the staff are friendly, happy and bubbly staff.
My daughter enjoys every day at nursery, and we are always kept up to date how she gets on each day via their app.
My Grandchild loves her time here.
She has come on in leaps and bounds becoming a much more confident well-adjusted child.
The staff are lovely, helpful and encouraging to their charges.
Our daughter goes for 2 days a week, she's a different person when she leaves compared to when she arrives. So confident and chatty. She loves the staff and they clearly love her. She's thriving in their care.
My beautiful granddaughter joined the nursery and we have all been so lucky that she literally loves everyone. The staff are friendly and a very important factor is that the nursery is clean. The food is also brilliant and the cook also spends time with the children doing cooking.
He was slightly behind in mobility skills and believe he has now caught up from being here so I’m happy to recommend anyone to send their children/babies here.
