My son has been attending Monkey Puzzle since he was very small. It was hard leaving him to return back to work but I have been so well supported by Monkey Puzzle and my son absolutely loves coming into nursery! Everything from the meals, the space, the things they get up to each day are all fantastic qualities about this nursery. I would highly recommend to anyone in the Colchester area, especially if you’re looking to start from when they are very young this is the best place to be.
My daughter started Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Colchester when she was eight months old and I have seen so much growth in her physical communication, social communication and emotional development. The staff members are lovely and approachable. My daughter loves it so much there that she does not even cry when we drop her off anymore. Thank you Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Colchester.
My son has been going to this nursery since November. It was the best decision we made . He absolutely loves it here, always excited to go to the nursery in the morning. The staff are very responsive and always go above and beyond to meet the child’s needs. Highly recommend.
Both my daughters go to the nursery, they excelled really well after joining in the nursery. Staff give a lot of importance to cleanliness and hygiene and during the Covid pandemic they are dealing with it absolutely fantastically - a bubbles system and no mixing - and I felt safe to send my children in this situation. Staff are very friendly and experienced. My kids love to go to the nursery with joy. I definitely recommend this nursery.
My daughter has been attending Monkey Puzzle since April this year. She absolutely loves it and as a parent, I feel so happy and feel at ease knowing that she’s in good care when she’s away from us. My little girl has shown immense progress and enjoys all the activities done at the nursery, including the fun outdoor activities and she looks forward to attending nursery every morning. I cannot emphasise on how impressed I am with nursery, the cleanliness of the premises and efficiency and dedication of the staff and management. I would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle nursery to any parent looking for a safe home away from home care for their child.
Overall, all things considered, I would 100% recommend Monkey Puzzle to anyone who is looking for childcare in the area!
Since my son started here he has been so happy. He loves coming to Monkey Puzzle. The staff are very communicative and approachable, the setting is safe and secure, the menu choices are fantastic, and the site has sufficient parking for ease at pick up and drop-offs. The staff here are so conscientious, it really shines through no matter which team member you speak to.
There is a real sense of community between parents and staff. The app they use to communicate is great so I can rest assured my son is having a great day with updates throughout the day. Covid has put a massive strain on these types of provisions but Monkey Puzzle have handled them amazingly assuring me all measures are in place and my son is as safe as possible during the current climate.
Regular communication is in place and you really do get such a great vibe from this place.
I would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle to anyone.
I can not recommend Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery more highly. Our son started at the nursery from around 9-months-old and he flourished from the beginning. The staff are absolutely fantastic and I felt completely happy with him being there - I knew that he was going to get top-quality childcare and be safe and happy. We love the Monkey Puzzle team!
Monkey Puzzle is home from home for my little boy. As soon as we stepped through the door we felt welcomed. Continued fun activities are supplied throughout the day for the children and are based on the children’s interests. I am also able to keep track of his daily meals, nappies and sleeps while I’m working as well as seeing photos and observations of how he’s developing. My son has come on in leaps and bounds since joining Monkey Puzzle and has become so much more confident in himself. The staff are kind, approachable and very knowledgeable. As soon as we step in the door in the morning, my son is greeted with big smiles and warm welcomes. He holds his arms up for cuddles with all the staff which makes me so happy. He is offered nutritional tasty meals and his allergies and dietary needs are well catered for with substitutes based on the same as the other children’s meals so he doesn’t miss out on enjoying things with his friends. All in all I would 100% recommend Monkey Puzzle.
The staff here are absolutely brilliant! My daughter has been going there since day 1 and she has come on leaps and bounds and loves going to nursery! Her key workers have always been really involved and have shown a keen interest in her development. The managers are always asking for feedback which indicates to me that they want to offer the best care for my daughter, which is what every parent wants from their nursery.
There is nothing bad I could say about the nursery! My little boy loves it and has created such a great bond with all the staff when joining everyone does everything they can to make sure that you’re comfortable. Lovely place, clean, affordable and overall just a safe place for your children to be without worry also they update throughout the day to let you know what your child is doing.
Thank you Monkey Puzzle Colchester
For everything
Would highly recommend this nursery.
My son goes to Monkey Puzzle Nursery in Colchester. He started in Sept 2019 and in only a few months we've noticed a difference in him. He's talking more and seems more confident. He loves talking about what he's done during the day and about all his friends. I'm so happy with how he has been treated here. The staff are so friendly and helpful. So pleased he's settled in really well here.
Very nice and safe place. My two and half-year-old daughter could not settle into the previous nursery that she had been to. The staff at Monkey Puzzle, Colchester have been great and helped her during the settling in process and now she absolutely loves going there. It’s a very neat and clean place and the food is freshly prepared onsite. They cater to individual needs and there is always something else on a plate if the child refuses a meal, so the kids are not tired or hungry at any time. Very friendly and pleasant staff and we are very happy there.
Such a lovely nursery with staff that generally care. This nursery is very clean and secure. They bend backwards to help me and my daughter and I would recommend it without hesitation all day long. My daughter loves this nursery.
Nursery very secure, spacious and clean.
I would recommend Monkey Puzzle without hesitation. My son love this nursery!
The management and staff are fantastic, hard-working, very approachable and very friendly. The facilities are great, the outdoor area is really good, and the room indoors is very spacious. The snacks and food menus are great, my daughter really enjoys the food there, Best of all, there is a really good selection of activities for my child to choose from and enjoy whilst building up her skills to prepare her; for school starting this year.
The staff at Monkey Puzzle are so welcoming and professional. We moved to Colchester about a year now and I had my son in a previous nursery but he used to cry when I dropped him off or picked him up. I then changed to Monkey Puzzle Nursery and I’ve never seen him so happy, so confident and so keen to go to nursery. Thank you so much for providing an excellent service to our community.
I cannot recommend Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery at Colchester enough. From the first day I went along to view the facilities I felt at ease knowing my daughter would have an amazing time there. The management team and staff deeply care for every child there and they learn so much. My daughter has had an incredible time and really come on leaps and bounds under the careful supervision of the Monkey Puzzle staff. Thank you so much again!

Manjit – Nursery Owner
Hello, my name is Manjit and I am the owner of Monkey Puzzle Colchester. I am originally from Kent, but recently relocated to Essex with my wife and business partner Sandy, and our two lovely children, Siena and MJ.Nursery Staff
I do not come from a childcare background, I successfully achieved a BA in Accountancy in 2003 and worked in the city for a number of years. Over time I decided that office work was not for me and I wanted to direct my expertise elsewhere. My wife and I both decided that we wanted a new challenge and chose childcare as our first business venture; we had observed a number of shortcomings and weaknesses from our son’s Nursery and became passionate about quality childcare and felt a strong desire to do it ourselves and do it better.
Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries are an excellent childcare business to be a part of, we knew we were moving into a thriving childcare industry but Monkey Puzzle stood out as a chain to invest in due to its longstanding reputation and proven success rates.
In my spare time I love watching Football (Chelsea :0)). I play cricket, badminton and enjoy running. I also love spending time with my family and friends.
