Our son has had a very positive experience at Monkey Puzzle Nursery. The staff were very supportive in helping him to settle and he has grown in confidence. Staff are clearly committed to promoting the children’s personal, social and educational development through a range of different play activities.
They are also good at taking onboard parent feedback. Most importantly, our son is happy there and looks forward to going to nursery!

Our child has loved Monkey Puzzle. We mainly had our child start Monkey Puzzle for more interaction and stimulation and we have seen a huge development in our child since. All the staff are also extremely nice and professional and we feel that our child is well taken care of.

The nursery staff are lovely and warm. My little one adores her key workers and has no problems. She has time outside in the garden and she does different activities each day. My little one enjoys her daily meals and they have a wide choice of dishes.

I'm very happy with my son's care at nursery and his room leader is very informative and knowledgeable and is very friendly and good with the children.
My son has his own key worker who provides daily updates.
We also use the app which is great as we can see pictures and videos of the children.
Management
is always helpful with any problems or concerns you may want to discuss re payments or issues.
Overall this nursery provides outstanding care and my son is very happy here.

Since joining nursery my daughter has developed in so many ways. She is more confident and balanced and loves going to the nursery every morning. She looks forward to meeting her key person every morning. We love all the teachers who are warm, caring and very professional. I would definitely recommend
this nursery to other parents. Thank you so much for making the difference.

Review from Nadia D (Mother of Child) published on 9 January 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our biggest fear was having to go to work and leave our daughter in tears at a nursery she hated, but Monkey Puzzle Enfield has been the complete opposite - our daughter has attended this nursery since June 2018 and absolutely loves it there! The nursery itself is still relatively new as it opened 2018
and appears much cleaner than many other nurseries I viewed (which was very important to us). The staff are all so lovely and it's been so nice seeing the bond our daughter has made with them. Most importantly the development we've seen in our daughter has been amazing. The best decision we ever made was to enrol our daughter into a nursery and we're so happy (and feel so lucky!) that we found Monkey Puzzle Enfield!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I am happy my son is well looked after there and staff have been good when he has been unwell. I have no issues apart from the fact I would like an update on activities done in the day on the app and whether he has been outside or not. I appreciate this is time-consuming but one update could cover everyone
in explorer group. Also, he is hungry when he leaves nursery so not sure if portions are small but this is a minor issue. I feel he is in safe hands but I would just like to know more what he has done in the day.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.920)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.920) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Enfield is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.920 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Enfield is calculated as follows: ( (243 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 263 Ratings = 4.92
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Enfield is based on 22 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
