Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery New Cross

I would love to recommend Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery New Cross to anyone looking for a nursery. The staff and nursery providers are wonderful, especially through some recent trying Covid-19 times. Our daughter, now fifteen months, has been there since she was eight months old and settled right away. From the updates we can see she has so much fun and she smiles at each and every drop off and pick up. I truly believe she has learnt so much in the last few months because of the experiences she has had there.

Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery New Cross is a wonderful nursery. Our son absolutely loves it there and I would actively recommend it to anyone in the local area. We are kept regularly updated and the staff are always ready to support us with any questions or queries. Plus the management staff are so quick to respond to any general enquiries, which is such a help.

Our daughter joined Monkey Puzzle New Cross not long after it opened, and has progressed through all three rooms - explorers, discoverers, and inventors. She has absolutely loved her time at the nursery, never once being anything other than excited to go in of a morning. We've seen her make such good progress, educationally and socially, throughout her time and this is a reflection on the support she has received from caring, skilled, and enthusiastic staff. We are so happy, and so grateful, that we were able to send our daughter to such a nurturing and supportive setting and would recommend it to anybody for their little one.

Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery New Cross is such a warm and welcoming environment, we are so happy that we chose it for our baby! When he started, we were a little apprehensive that we would not be able to stay with him for his settling in days due to Covid-19. However, as soon as we met his room leader, we were completely at ease and reassured. His settling in process was wonderful, every member of staff went above and beyond to make sure he felt safe and cared-for. Now he’s settled in and he absolutely loves it! He goes in with a big smile on his face and has so much fun! Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery New Cross is a lovely nursery with lovely staff, we are so happy with our choice!

My main concern is that, although the space in the nursery is beautifully fitted, it's very limited. The garden is lovely but small for the numbers of kids - same for the rooms.

If you are looking for a place where your kid will be happy this is the one.

Love the nursery and the staff. I trust and feel confident in leaving my son with the staff. I'm seeing improvements in my son’s speech and confidence. My son loves his key worker and enjoys his time there. They have been great during the Covid-19 lockdowns and ensuring the safety of the children and their families. We look forward to making new memories.

As a first time mum, all of the staff made my transition back to work very smooth for me. I was really worried and anxious about leaving my daughter. They are all very friendly, warm, approachable and knowledgeable. My daughter settled in very well and is thriving in the nursery. I'm so glad I made the right choice in her joining Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery New Cross. I constantly feel updated of the relevant things happening in and around the nursery.

Our daughter loves going to Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery New Cross, she has been there for almost two years. The staff are friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. Our daughter always looks forward to going to nursery, seeing her friends and teachers. Her key worker is attentive, fun and always provides us with lots of observations and feedback. The management team is very communicative, especially during Covid-19 and we always feel assured that our daughter is under great care. I would highly recommend it.

I have two children at the nursery and both are extremely happy there. The staff are all wonderful and genuinely care about the kids. I would definitely recommend the nursery to a friend. My two have both thrived during their time at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery New Cross.

We have two children age four and one at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery New Cross and couldn't be happier with the support and care we're all getting from the team. Both children have lovely bonds with their key practitioners and the team have been extremely helpful and caring whenever we've needed any additional support. The teams seem to give the children a lot of space and encouragement to explore their own interests and we're really proud of the progress our eldest has made with math and phonics. Our one year old is mostly exploring her love of messy play and water play at the moment but we're proud of that too! We are so grateful for everything Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery New Cross has done to support our family over the last eighteen months and are extremely happy to recommend them. Thank you team!

Very impressed with Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery New Cross and all that they have to offer as a nursery setting. We joined during the pandemic at the start of the year and being first time parents, leaving our little one was very daunting. The team in explorers were so welcoming and reassured us that our son was settling in well and enjoying his time there. We felt confident knowing the team were caring for him well as we could see how happy he was to see the team. Having only been there four months and part time, we have already seen such progress with our sons development. He has now transitioned into the discoverers room, where the team again are really friendly and great at keeping us updated on his journey within the room. Our favourite bit is reading up on his observations and seeing pictures and videos of what he has been up to.

We are incredibly pleased and impressed with Monkey Puzzle New Cross! Our daughter settled in well and always looks forward to going to nursery. She became very confident, vocal and independent within weeks of attending. The nursery facilities are clean, organised and they make very good use of the space they have by providing a wonderful learning environment for children to thrive in. The nursery went to great lengths to ensure that both staff and children are kept safe from the virus and kept parents well informed which was very reassuring during this pandemic. They are very professional, communicate effectively with parents and are welcoming and supportive (this is not just the key workers but the staff and management team too!) The service they provide is simply first class! It's clear to see that they genuinely care about the children and their development and go above and beyond by ensuring they foster a relationship with parents. My husband and I highly recommend this nursery!

Our little boy started the nursery in June. The management and all the staff members were so helpful to help him with the settling. Even if we are in the middle of a pandemic they always welcome us with a big smile which really makes our day. I have already noticed that my son has developed a lot, his communication is great since he started the nursery, he even doesn't want to leave the nursery when we go to pick him up. I can not wish a better place for my son, thank you so much for all your help!

I get a daily update of what my son has been up to - including toileting, feeding and sleep schedule which is fantastic given most parents worry - there really is no need!

My little son had his settling a week ago. All the nurses and the management welcomed us every day with a big smile, they really care about the build-up to a friendly relationship with all the families. They made my son’s settling easy and happy, he is so excited and happy in the nursery which makes my days much easier as I don’t worry about him while I’m at work as he is in the best hands. What they do is way over what I imagined and I can’t be thankful enough to the team. Thank you so much for all your help and support that you give to my little one.

Monkey Puzzle Nursery were absolutely fantastic during the lockdown. The whole team supported us to enable me to go to work and we felt that our child was being looked after so well during the whole time. It was a very challenging and difficult time for all of us but there was an additional burden on key workers. The MP team worked hard to make me feel that they were there to help us and I appreciate that so much. Our son loves all of the staff at the nursery and seeing him develop so much during this time is a testament to their care and attention.

We have become very attached to the team at Monkey Puzzle, particularly over the last few months of 'lockdown' when they have been an essential service! As key workers, we have relied on Monkey Puzzle to care for our son whilst we have been working in the NHS. Every day he has been greeted with an enthusiastic smile and has always had a great day - playing and learning with his friends (and sometimes not wanting to come home!). He has now been in Monkey Puzzle for 18 months and we have always been really impressed by the team and the care they have shown our son, but over the last few months we really have been made to feel part of the family!

Our daughter has been attending Monkey Puzzle Nursery for nearly a year now and she absolutely loves it there. The team not only focus on her development but really care about her as an individual. We get daily updates on her progress and she is only too happy to waddle off on drop off to one of the practitioners.

Our son has been here since it opened in 2018 as we have been very happy with the level of care, teaching and support offered by the staff. The managers and room leaders seem to have endless energy and go over and above what is expected. The environment is kind and caring with fun at the heart of all they do, however, our son seems to learn an incredible amount on his nursery days, there is no doubt he doesn't love his time there. The children are taken for experiences outside of nursery, to the park and on trips, as well as weekly sessions on site with external music and sports teachers which we continue to be impressed by. There are many extra activities organised throughout the year such as coffee mornings for parents and cultural festival celebrations for the children. The actual nursery itself is designed to a high standard and the toys are great quality. There is lots of crafts and making as well as outdoor play. Their ethos seems to be driven by lots of energy which is impressive
