Monkey Puzzle Altrincham is a large detached building laid out over four floors. It is situated on Market Street in the affluent town centre of Altrincham and is a five minute walk to the tram and bus stop. It also boasts close links to the M56 and M6, providing easy access for those parents who commute.
The nursery is owned and managed by early years experts, who have extensive skills and abilities in implementing and understanding the EYFS and have been a successful teaching team for the past 13 years in a Trafford school.
The aim of Monkey Puzzle Altrincham is to provide all children with outstanding childcare to ensure they receive the best possible start in life within a happy, secure and stimulating, home-from-home environment. The nursery is filled with passion and enthusiasm for delivering first class care and education to children from birth to five.
All children benefit from bright spacious rooms that are fantastically resourced with high-quality equipment, specifically selected to be age and stage appropriate.
The baby room benefits from a separate sensory room that engages the children with lights and sounds to enhance their development. The toddler room is a huge space providing endless opportunities for messy and exploratory play. Preschool is another large room benefiting from fantastic provision, including sand/water play, role play, small world and construction. The children also receive daily literacy and numeracy sessions to help prepare them for that all important transition into school.
Monkey Puzzle Altrincham has a unique indoor/outdoor room, dedicated for physical development, designed especially to be accessed, whatever the weather may be. This room leads out onto a raised decking area with a large climbing frame, sunken sand pit and bicycle track. This really is a nursery that promises to provide the best for each and every child!
They have a small car park to the rear of the building that parents and visitors are welcome to use.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Our daughter has been at Monkey Puzzle Altrincham now for just over two years, and from arriving at babies, through to preschool, we cannot fault the nursery. They are communicative and caring, and our daughter loves to go to nursery every morning. She has formed beautiful bonds with the staff and made friendships with the other children. Her confidence has blossomed. Staff work hard to care for each child in their rooms, and know them and their interests well. They make sure to provide lots of fun activities for the kids and the nursery continues to improve itself with updates to their facilities regularly. Staff are quick to address any parental concerns and we have always felt listened to and respected as parents. Our only negative is the outside space is a bit small, but they make it work with what they have and the kids still love it! A wonderful nursery with a wonderful team.

My daughter started at the nursery when she was just a baby of 6 months and went full time. From the very first day she was loved and cared for immensely in the baby room and we were relieved that my daughter didn't have any problems settling in. She went on to the teenies and toddler room and again all the staff were amazing and she loved and looked forward going to the nursery everyday. She was blooming into a happy and bubbly child and I am ever so thankful for all the wonderful caring staff there. I would definitely recommend Monkey puzzle!!

Monkey Puzzle is an absolutely amazing nursery where our little girl has thrived. As a family, we have been so happy with the care that has been provided by all of the staff who clearly work so hard every day. The activities offered are beyond excellent and her days are always so varied which allows her to learn so much. The staff go above and beyond and clearly really care for all of the children. Would recommend to anybody looking for a nurturing nursery with the needs of the child at the forefront of all that they do.

I just can't recommend this nursery enough. My daughter has always enjoyed going to the point where she's now so excited to see her Monkey Puzzle adults every morning. She likes it so much that she's on occasion cried when she's had to leave. Kinda stings but how amazing is it that she's obviously had such a great time, that she doesn't want to leave. I've got to say the staff here have just gone above and beyond in December in making the children and parents run up to Christmas so festive, happy and entertaining. The crafts days, the festive activity days parties and the big Christmas dinner their fabulous chef made were just truly outstanding. The attention to small things are really special. The staff care so much and you feel the warmth when you enter the building. I feel so lucky my baby is in this beautiful happy environment.
I love that they are always looking and working on improving systems and that they communicate this to us weekly.

Our son has attended Monkey Puzzle Altrincham for 2 years. He has always enjoyed being at the nursery and has built lovely relationships with the other children and staff. The staff at Monkey Puzzle really care about the children and each of our son's personal milestones have been celebrated just as much at nursery as they have been at home! Our son has delayed development with his communication, nursery picked up on this quickly and helped us to get the right support for him. They then worked with other professionals to ensure that adaptations were made to meet his needs.
We are very glad we chose Monkey Puzzle Altrincham. It is a safe, welcoming, and friendly environment and we would recommend this nursery.

My children attended Monkey Puzzle Altrincham for nearly 3 years and we removed them in September 2024. For the first two years we had absolutely no complaints at all and would highly recommend them to fellow parents. Following their 'Outstanding' rating, we believe the standard of care started to decline and fell short of our expectations. Pros - Central location, some caring key workers. Cons - Lack of visible senior management and poor communication. Behaviour management (negative language, time outs). Parking is really tricky at peak times given the location.
Unfortunately, I would no longer recommend this nursery.

You expressed in an email on 12/09/24 that your children had been cared for by some incredible staff and you would not post anything negative about the nursery. In response to a lack of visible senior management, both an Assistant Manager and Deputy Manager have always been available and on site, apologies if this did not meet your expectations. Our aim is to provide the best possible care, and it is something we take very seriously. Once again, we are sorry that you feel the experience did not meet your expectations and wish you and your family the best for the future.

We removed our daughter in September 2024. During the first year, my daughter enjoyed going to Monkey Puzzle and she made some great friends. She had some good keyworkers, and she developed well. Once the nursery received an outstanding rating, they opened a new nursery which took their time up. Pros: Good outdoor space. Some caring and good keyworkers. Central location. Spanish classes.
The cons: Staff attrition is very high. Leadership - defensive when receiving a complaint/concern. Toileting, regularly returned from nursery with soiled clothes and underwear, often with nappy rash (when in nappies). Food - limited variety. An example: my daughter ate cereals for breakfast for the entire time she was there. Trips into community very rare. Disappointing given the central location. Behavioural management: Time outs were used and negative language. Sadly the standard of care did not meet expectations.

I can’t ask for more. My daughter always enjoys herself there and clearly has a good connection with her key worker and several other staff members. The app is updated regularly so I can always see how my child is doing, what she’s had for dinner every day etc. Her time there has also clearly helped her development as she often comes home with words, songs, actions etc that she has picked up. When the weather permits the staff often take the children to local parks.
It’s my first child so I don’t have any experience to compare with but what I have experienced has far exceeded my expectations and I would recommend Monkey Puzzle to anybody who asked me.

Before our son started with Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery. I was nervous as I didn't know what to expect or how he would adapt to this big change. The managers couldn't have done anymore to answer all my questions and put me at ease. The staff are all so lovely and caring and our son settled into the nursery environment really well. He's moved to the next room now and is continuing to thrive. I love getting the photos and updates on the app to see what he's been up to, especially in the early weeks and months I found this very helpful and reassuring. I can see a real bond between our son and his key worker which as a mum is so lovely to see. Communication has always been very good and the owners are very responsive and understanding. We really like that the activities change regularly so he's getting to try lots of new things every week, he has so much fun!
I am so happy we made the decision to join the Monkey Puzzle family and we have recommended it to new parents already.

Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery has been the most perfect environment for our son to grow up in. They have supported his development in every way and he’s learning so much. He is excited to go to “school” every day and has a lovely network of friends to play with. He’s been through three rooms now and every time he has been allocated a key worker who he has developed a great relationship with. All the staff are so kind and friendly. They really prioritise the children and their care and safety and I really feel like he is nurtured there. We love it.
