Review from J L (Father of Child) published on 25 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our two children have attended this nursery for the past five years, and we've been consistently happy throughout that time. It's been so reassuring to see them both settle in, grow in confidence, and genuinely enjoy their time there. The activities always sound fantastic-there's a great mix of learning and play, and it's lovely to see how much thought goes into supporting the children's development while still letting them have fun and be creative. Communication has always been great and I feel well-informed about my child's day and progress, which is so reassuring as a parent. We have the ability to check live updates on the nursery app with various info. Peter, who owns the nursery, is incredibly attentive and very involved in the day-to-day running. He's always accommodating, responsive, and genuinely helpful, which makes a big difference as a parent.

Overall, I'm happy with our experience here. It's such a comforting knowing your child is happy, and excited to go back every day.

My daughter attends this nursery in baby room and I must say she is very loved by the staff every time I drop her off she just runs into the room as she knows she's in safe hands all the staff are incredible the hand overs they do are so lovely with great detail. The baby room staff are so alert and so caring I'm so happy I've decided for my daughter to go to this nursery she's improved so much here since she's been here she's learned a words she's learnt how to do things her self and I thank the nursery for all of this. I would most definitely recommend this nursery it is amazing

Review from Olympe M (Mother of Child) published on 10 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We withdrew our daughter after 2-3 weeks in the baby room due to several serious concerns. Communication was consistently poor, and although the manager was kind, she seemed overwhelmed. I witnessed staff shouting at babies on multiple occasions, telling them to 'stop crying' instead of comforting them. Our feeding instructions were ignored, and our 5-6-month-old was given age-2 milk without consent.

The final incident was a major safeguarding issue: our daughter was put down for a nap and left unsupervised with no monitoring in place. We were informed that CCTV confirmed she was alone for a concerning amount of time before staff returned to find her crying. This was formally reported to the local authorities. While the building and outdoor areas are good, our experience in the baby room was extremely concerning, and I urge parents to look closely before choosing this nursery.

Review from Catriona H (Mother of Child) published on 23 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our family has been using Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Battersea for more than three years and we have been so happy with the experience!
Our eldest child started in the toddler room before going into pre-school there, while our youngest child has gone right through, from the baby room to pre-school, which they leave this week now they are ready for school!
What makes Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Battersea special is the team. They are led well and there is a real sense of teamwork which fosters a welcoming, safe, compassionate environment for children and their parents.
It is clear the team have a strong desire for every child to grow, develop and be the best version of themselves - as learners and as people. The team has had our children’s backs throughout our time there.

We are sad to be leaving but will be sure to pop in from time to time to say hello as it is a special place with special people providing a strong foundation. We highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Battersea.

Overall Experience

My 19 month old daughter started attending this nursery in February and she loves it. She never looks back when I drop her off in the morning, I can feel it’s a happy place where she plays, makes her first friendships and becomes more independent. The staff is very friendly and caring, and the pictures they send me at the end of each session just make my day! Thank you Monkey Puzzle family!

Overall Experience

My fourteen month old daughter loves going to nursery every day to see her friends and the lovely caring staff at Monkey Puzzle Battersea. She has been there for seven months - she was the youngest in the nursery when she started and has absolutely thrived there. The team have been extremely helpful with advice and support with weaning, introducing solids and more. We would highly recommend this nursery - the staff really care about the children and the children absolutely love their time there.

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Monkey Puzzle since she was eleven months old and I do not have one complaint. My daughter is very clingy, however, she is so happy to go off and play and feels happy when she sees the staff. I receive daily updates and pictures regarding activities, nap times, meals and nappy changes. The staff look happy and are very friendly. I highly recommend this nursery!

The manager and the team are tremendous!
We have had our two daughters in for three years now and are still amazed at how great the teachers are on a daily basis.
They're so caring and know our girls so well that they can spot whenever anything is wrong and let us know immediately and our daughters are learning at an amazing pace.

So grateful for this nursery and its teachers!

Review from Ana T (Mother of Child) published on 20 October 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been going there since he was 10 months and he loves it, since January 2022. We put him at another kindergarten just for him to prepare for school. We combined it with Monkey Puzzle at the same time. The other kindergarten was the most awful nursery. We withdrew him a couple of months after. Our son is now thriving in Monkey Puzzle. They have been wonderful and very supportive in challenging times. I would highly recommend it.

Friendly and flexible with lots of smiley, happy babies. Very good at catering to individual dietary requirements. Lots of time outside spent playing - so the children get plenty of fresh air. Purpose-built nursery building which is fresh, clean and the rooms are spacious.

Overall Experience

Lovely nursery, lovely staff who know all the children and their needs and can look after them in the best way possible. There is a lovely little garden that children get to enjoy daily, very secure and only accessible from the inside of the nursery. Children learn a lot daily and are led to respect each other while developing their own personalities. 10/10

Review from Bea B (Mother of Child) published on 12 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We’d been deciding between a few nurseries in our area but I cannot be happier with our choice. Firstly, the staff is genuinely caring and they are constantly helping our son with his speech and other types of development. They’ve created a real relationship with him and he loves coming back. Second, the management is very understanding and helpful. Not trying to charge you extra and adjusting the schedule to our needs when possible. I love that they have their own kitchen and so everything is made there with no added sugar and good variety. They have their own garden and are open until 6:30 which is important for us since both me and my husband sometimes need to work late. They keep the place clean but as they are playing outside, with sand etc, it will always somehow transfer inside which is understandable. We’ve been there for almost a year and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

My daughter has been going to Monkey Puzzle Battersea for about 18 months now and I am very happy with her progress so far. Staff are very caring and I particularly like the daily updates on the parent portal app so I know what my daughter has been up to throughout the day. We are busy working parents and management always try to accommodate our adhoc days. Good communication (emails, phone calls etc.)

Overall Experience

My 18 months old boy, who is exclusively breastfed since birth, found it really hard to settle in at the daycare, but all the staff were so reassuring and did their best to make my little one feel safe and loved. Slowly, he started liking to go to daycare and loves all the staff. In just a few weeks he’s vocabulary has improved so much and he’s learning new things every day. Thank goodness a friend of mine recommended Monkey Puzzle to me!

Owner & Director

I am delighted and excited to be the owner of Monkey Puzzle Battersea.

Having been in teaching for over 25 years – I know exactly how important a child’s first steps into learning are. I have always been passionate about education and learning. My own children – now 12 and 8 – developed their curiosity, creativity and love of learning at this stage.

At Battersea Monkey Puzzle our aim is to create a fun and stimulating environment where the children feel happy, safe and excited about their learning. As we all know – Early Years Education is vital for our children and is recognised as one of the most important stages in a child’s development. Children develop so quickly at this age. My wife – a lead English teacher – knows that this stage is vital for language acquisition as well a child’s first steps in literacy.

Each child has their own personality and characteristics and we aim to support and develop these in a warm home from home environment with a strong team of well qualified practitioners. High quality provision will be at the very centre of all we do.

Being a lead practitioner for a number of years and then most recently in my role as an assistant head teacher I am confident that I have the enthusiasm, experience and understanding that is needed to nurture the needs of every child. We will ensure that you – as parents – feel that Monkey Puzzle Battersea is the right choice for you and your child.
