Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has recently joined Monkey Puzzle Eltham and is settling in very well. He isn't always keen on going to nursery, but as soon as he arrives he loves it and comes home full of what fun he has had there. The staff are very supportive, kind and friendly and have helped my son in many ways. His
potty training and eating habits have come on leaps and bounds since being at Monkey Puzzle and he is more confident in himself.

We are so pleased we chose this nursery for our son. He has been attending for almost a year and when we drop him off in the morning he runs into his room with a big smile on his face which tells us everything.
The staff are all lovely and friendly and very helpful. The nursery is clean and bright
and there is a good menu selection.

I love my son's nursery as he enjoys it every day he attends. The staff are extremely friendly, reliable and helpful and have helped my son progress with his potty training extremely well.
My son has already made so many friends and always tells me what he has done in the day.
He's learning more and
more while attending Monkey Puzzle.

Our son has attending Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Eltham for the last 4 months. The nursery has great indoor and outdoor facilities. Plenty of interactive areas as well as toys. Our son has thrived in the nursery, he enjoys the variety of learning and the ability to explore. We are very comfortable leaving
our son in the care of the staff who are caring, approachable and friendly.

We are delighted we found this amazing nursery. Our little boy has settled in so well and has made some lovely friends already. The staff and facilities are so amazing and worries about my little boy being unhappy have been squashed. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Really supportive and friendly staff. They have really helped my son come out of his shell and compared to his previous nursery, Monkey Puzzle Eltham is far more supportive to his needs. They seem to really care about the well-being of the children in their care, which is extremely important in such
a setting. Our son is now always eager to attend nursery and happy at the end of the nursery day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are really pleased with the nursery and our little girl is really happy there. Staff are all really friendly and helped our daughter to settle quickly.
The children are engaged in activities that are structured to a theme and the nursery gives us "home learning" to support this at home too.
Their
approach is flexible and accommodating of the fact that this is our childcare whilst we are working (ie they appreciate we rely on them taking our daughter to enable us to both work). They also take a pragmatic approach to accepting children who are, for example, teething and maybe just need distracting or to moving children up to the next age group in line with their developmental progress.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Monkey Puzzle have worked really hard helping my son settle into nursery on my return to work. He has been attending nursery for 4 weeks now and we can already see an improvement in his speech and confidence to mix with others. The staff take pictures of activities he's been doing which
we really appreciate as we know our son's had a good day.

My daughter started here at 12 months old and settled in so well. The staff are lovely and my little girl now excitedly runs in when I drop her off. The rooms are bright and modern with lots of lovely resources. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

My son started with Monkey Puzzle from day one of opening and I can't say how happy I am with this nursery setting. The staff are friendly, very flexible and accommodating and overall it's like one big family. I've seen the growth of the nursery over the past few months and its wonderful to see each
day there is something new which enhances both the facilities and development of the children.

I am very impressed by this branch of Monkey Puzzle. I found all the staff to be welcoming and friendly showing great professionalism and enthusiasm with the children.
The rooms are bright and cheerful, and from my experience here, it is impeccably clean. My grandson loves it there and when I collect
him, he cannot wait to return!
Thank you, ladies, for making my grandson such a happy little boy!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.855)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.855) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Eltham 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.855 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Eltham is calculated as follows: ( (241 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.855
  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 Eltham is based on 23 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 65 number of registered child places is 13, which has been reached with 23 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.
