Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Eltham

Our daughter has progressed from the baby room to the toddler room and will soon be in the preschool room of the nursery. My wife and I could not be happier with the pace of our daughter's development and it is clear to see the relationships she has with the staff at the nursery that she is very happy there. As a teacher, I can also commend the nursery's safeguarding procedures.

He is developing so well and is now sounding out letters and enjoying books.

I am extremely happy with Monkey Puzzle Eltham in all areas. The care and attention they give to my daughter is second to none and she has come on leaps and bounds in her learning, skills and confidence. I especially like that the chef is on site and gets involved in teaching the children about food and creates activities with them. Location is superb and the outside area is engaging and safe. Highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Eltham.

Thank you Monkey Puzzle!

My little boy seems to have a great time here. He settled in really quickly (his first nursery experience) and it was much less traumatic than I feared. The staff are approachable and friendly, the food is good and healthy. I never have a problem dropping him off in the morning. All in all, no negatives, only positives.

I am extremely happy with my choice in nursery and hope all future parents/carers feel the same.

We have already noticed a huge improvement with her development - the activities are varied, the outside space is lovely, the food is great, the staff are very engaging and truly care for all of the children. It's another family environment for the children that attend and one that I cannot recommend enough.

My son has attended Monkey Puzzle Eltham since he was eight months old. I was apprehensive about leaving him so young but the team in the baby room have been so kind and caring that I couldn’t be happier with my choice! I love how well they know my son already and I can see him developing so much as a result of him being there. It is lovely to be invited in for special days like the Mother’s Day afternoon tea and the managers are very open and friendly; emails are always replied to very quickly as well. They are also flexible if we need random extra days which is appreciated too. I love that they use their outdoor space all year round and engaged him in lots of different activities. The toys are clean and good quality which is not the case in all nurseries! He smiles as soon as he sees the baby room team so I know he has made such a good bond with them. Couldn’t be happier that my son is thriving in this brilliant nursery!

Searching for the right setting for your little one is daunting! When walking into Monkey Puzzle, I was impressed. The outdoor space is beautiful and constantly evolving. Activities provided are fun and engaging and having freshly cooked food on site in a fabulous kitchen by a trained chef is a real bonus. Home-school links are tight: extra activities such as Sports Day, Christmas Party and Mothers Day Tea bring the nursery community together which is a real treat. The staff are fabulous: kind, caring and really know the children and families well. My daughter has been in the Toddler room since the nursery opened and is now in Mini Pre School, thriving alongside her excellent Key Workers and room leaders. Her development has soared in all areas and loves being part of the Monkey Puzzle family with her little friends. As a teacher and Early Years specialist, I am very happy with the progress my little one is making and can’t wait for my little girl's next adventures at this fantastic nursery.

Monkey puzzle in Eltham is fantastic, my son absolutely loves going there. All the staff really care and help develope new skills whilst having fun and playing with other children. The nursery gets stuck in for all occasions (which I love) but they do not force it on anyone, 100% for effort from all the girls. Brilliant nursery and highly recommend.

My Daughter attends Monkey Puzzle Eltham and she absolutely loves it, I couldn't be more happier to send her to this nursery after months of looking for a nursery that ticked all the boxes for me. The staff and friendly and welcoming and maintain professionalism throughout, there are many activities on offer, they have an outdoor garden which is fantastic for the children to play in. The rooms themselves are bright and colour and the nursery itself is always very clean. My daughter settled very quickly and it’s lovely to see photos and artwork that’s given to me at the end of her session. I would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Eltham.

My daughter started to go to the nursery when she was 15 months old, a year ago. The team was very supportive of both of us, trying to adjust to the new routine. My daughter is always playing and laughing when I come to pick her up and seems to be really enjoying the activities. She is always talking A LOT on the way back home. The nursery itself is very bright and colourful. Lots of toys and books. And the menu is diverse and well thought.

I was very anxious about leaving my son upon returning to work, however, I needn’t have worried as the staff at Monkey Puzzle have been excellent in helping him settle in. Settle sessions were arranged for the month before to help him get used to the staff and the environment. After only a few full days he now loves it. I have also noticed he is more interactive with learning toys and more sociable around other children which I believe is a result of his attendance at nursery. The staff are very friendly and approachable and are reassuring if you have any questions or concerns. Overall I cannot find any faults.

I love this nursery and so does my little one. She attended another nursery that was further away from us, so when this one opened we were so happy. The staff and the rooms lovely here! My little one has transitioned so well here and really enjoys going. Staff have been very helpful and they are so friendly and approachable! Would 100% recommend

I highly recommend them, these are nice people, very happy about our choice.

A Big thank you to all of you!

We visited a few nurseries in the area and we were very disappointed. Monkey Puzzle in Eltham really stood up from the first step. Everyone is so lovely and my son managed to settle in very quickly. Still early days to comment but so far it’s been great!

My daughter joined this nursery 6 months ago as I was returning back to work, the staff were amazing with both of us who were finding it hard. They are amazing with not just settling my daughter but making sure she’s happy as well as keeping me updated and reassuring me. I’ve noticed a massive difference in my daughters motor skills and other areas of development. All of the staff are lovely and personable with my daughter whether it’s the manager or staff from other rooms. By far the best nursery I visited.

My son loves his days at the nursery, he is very happy there and I am more than comfortable leaving him in their capable hands. He started here at 13 months old, he settled in very well with no issues at all, the staff were very accommodating and attentive. Regular updates on his progress a well as daily updates keep me well informed. The facilities are lovely, the garden is great and the rooms are bright and clean. I would have no hesitation in recommending Monkey Puzzle Eltham to anyone looking for a nursery place.

Very nice, modern nursery with very friendly staff. Our daughter is very happy and enjoys staying there for the whole day.

Would definitely recommend them and I trust that with time they will not only keep up the great work but will improve and develop further.
