Review from R A (Mother of Child) published on 2 November 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
We had our daughter join the nursery in January 2018 when they first opened and we saw the high turnover in staff. There is still no structure in place 9 months on. There is still chaos and it is a very disorganised place with a poor management in place. The latest members of management seem to lack
experience especially with concerned parents and don't provide credible information. Some of the practitioners are very unprofessional. There is yet no established routine, food menus and development plan.

My daughter absolutely loves going to this nursery and made friends with all the children and teachers. She developed her social skills and independence in a short period of time.


All the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, I felt really grateful to find this lovely daycare nursery for my daughter.

Absolutely lovely nursery. Friendly and welcoming staff especially the managers. You can tell the children love them as they get lots of cuddles in the morning. Would definitely recommend to other parents. Nursery facilities are always clean and well looked after. The garden is amazing! Managers are
very down to earth and understanding. Feels like a lovely family x

Excellent staff that take care to meet the needs of our little one. Staff always try to accommodate any special requests, such as following the dietary requirements for the baby or having a flexible attendance schedule.

My son loves his new nursery and talks about it all the time. The staff are genuine and approachable and smiley!


He is learning new things every day and the staff engage in all his favourite interests.
The management is strong and always there and are daily in the rooms with the kids and staff.


It's a super friendly place and we love it!

Review from Alex (Mother of Child) published on 6 July 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended this nursery since opening in January 2018. He started at 18 months and has grown to adapt quickly to this new and exciting environment. The staff are led and guided by a strong management team who are always present. The team as a whole have a really strong work and team ethic and
this reflects on the children's learning and development. My son loves this nursery and I couldn't be more happier with the progress he has made so far. Any concerns are addressed immediately and exchanged for reassurance. Brilliant nursery!

Review from Nikol A (Mother of Child) published on 6 July 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 3 year old started 3 months ago. I cannot describe how happy we both are since he started! Nursery gives their full attention to him, they are the reason his speech shot through, they record his activities and progress and send me through his updates on a special portal and most of all they are positive,
happy and approachable.
He was in another nursery for 2 years before joining this, and I have to admit they are incomparable! 5 stars plus for such an amazing, positive, safe, encouraging environment for my kid
Thank you to all the staff!

It's been around two months since my son started going to this nursery. I am very happy with the progress he has made in these two months. Very friendly staff, very creative environment and I like the way they handle the kids.

Review from Thomas (Father of Child) published on 2 July 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It is one of the best choices I made in sending my son to the West Acton Monkey Puzzle nursery.
He never struggles to go to the nursery every morning. I never had to persuade him even once, and in fact, he is so looking forward to going to the nursery.
Everyone in the nursery treats him so nicely,
it is a very friendly environment and they are having lots of activities every day.
They actually did implement the learning in fun concept.
The teacher will brief us about what have our little one has been through every day, all the activities they did together.
The best thing I see in the school is everyone is so passionate with children, not only to my son but to every single child.
I really owe them a "BIG" thank you for welcoming my son with a big smile in the morning and allowing me to bring the happy face back every day.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.869)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.869) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery West Acton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 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 4.992 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery West Acton is calculated as follows: ( (118 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.992
  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 4.877 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery West Acton is based on 10 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 57 number of registered child places is 11.4. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.4 = 0.877
  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.

Hello, my name is Shpresa. I proudly co-own Monkey Puzzle West Acton. I am a mother of 3 wonderful grown children. My experience in childcare started as a foster parent; for 14 years, my husband and I cared, nurtured and educated children of different ages, genders, backgrounds, faiths and abilities and welcomed them all to be apart of our family.


As my children grew older, I began to do babysitting and nannying roles. Looking after and caring for children, keeping them safe, helping them develop and ensuring they have positive outcomes into adulthood has always been at the forefront of my mind. I am very passionate about all the children that have been a part of my life, be it as a mother or a carer, we all want the best for our children and I am so overjoyed to be coowning such an establishment that does exactly that.
