Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All of the staff are amazing and care deeply about the kids and their enjoyment and learning. They have been nothing but brilliant from the day we first took our child there and throughout all the different rooms and the different members of staff she has had contact with we have been nothing but happy
with the experience.
Our child thoroughly enjoys going to Monkey Puzzle Welling and always comes home having had a great time and has formed many great relationships with the staff. They are all so caring and truly love the kids and make sure they are all encouraged and cared for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter started at this nursery in December 2019. She really took to the environment straight away and has already in the space of a few months, grown in her abilities and confidence. As one of the of youngest babies when she started, I was mindful that it could take a while for her to feel happy
going there but from the start, we have been so happy with her settling in. The staff take such good care of the children and you can see how bubbly and happy they are when you go in for drop off, pick up. Our daughter is always smiling when we pick her up and comfortable playing in the surroundings. We receive weekly updates on what she has been up to and daily debriefs on pick up, so you always feel in the loop. We are very happy with the care, range of activities and overall environment so much so that we would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to others.

My niece attends Monkey Puzzle Welling. She has grown in confidence so much since starting, and I am so impressed with the trips the children get to go on. She loves Monkey Puzzle and tells all our family about it.

My child started at the nursery this month, and the staff have been so welcoming. They have put me at ease, and my child has settled in very quickly. We even received our first painting; which is proudly displayed at home. We would highly recommend this nursery.

My son absolutely loves the nursery. His teachers are all very kind and really look after him well. He has a number of allergies and the nursery has been so considerate and caring.


I have to say, 2 members of staff, in particular, are absolutely lovely and the management team are all very helpful.


The

nursery is brand new and has really cool resources that my son loves. The learning journal thing they use is a great tool for working parents. It’s a great way for me to see that he is having an amazing day!

Being a first-time mum, it was extremely hard to choose a nursery for my baby. Meeting the managers put my mind at ease. The staff are really caring and loving and the facilities are all brand new. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into the design of the nursery. I would recommend this nursery.

Review from Daniel E (Father of Child) published on 29 January 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Every member of staff that we have encountered during our time at this nursery, has been amazing. They are truly and actively interested in our son's development and life. The standard of care our son has received is both impressive and consistent and something that brings us constant reassurance. He
is always happy and excited to know that he is on his way to nursery and always wants to babble about what he has done that day and what he has eaten (amazing food planned daily).
The atmosphere and environment at the nursery is always wonderful and energetic, with all staff members, whether looking after my child or not, asking after him by name.
I could not ask for a better place or better staff, to help us encourage and develop our son's growth in these early years.

Amazing nursery with excellent facilities and safe, fun, surroundings for the children. My son absolutely loves going to nursery here and especially enjoys the sensory area they have. The staff and management are very friendly and helpful. My son has come on leaps and bounds in his development since
starting here and I would recommend to anyone looking for a nursery for their child to send them to Monkey Puzzle Welling.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
What a lovely new addition to the Welling area. Our little boy has really enjoyed his time so far at Monkey Puzzle Welling. This new nursery is beautifully decorated and has plenty of equipment to choose from, we especially love the sensory room. The outdoor space is well designed, very colourful.
It
comes as no surprise to our family how well run this nursery is, as our eldest went to this nursery's sister branch in Bexleyheath for 2 years and absolutely loved his time there. We were so happy when we found out the owners of the Bexleyheath branch were opening this new nursery, as this branch is much closer to both my work and home. We put our youngest name down immediately. Monkey puzzle Welling seems to have all the strong standards and charm as its sister branch and more. We're very happy with our child's Keyworker. Our little one seems to have created a close bond with her and she's very easy to talk to. The activities on offer to date have been fun and varied.
Would definitely recommend.

I would not hesitate to recommend Monkey Puzzle Welling. The owners are amazing people and are extraordinarily professional. They have a wonderful customer service culture. The managers are phenomenal and the staff are all so friendly and loving. My 11 month old thoroughly enjoys nursery. All the other
parents I have spoken to are very happy with the nursery. Overall I feel very lucky to have got a place for my son and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Welling 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 5.000 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Welling is calculated as follows: ( (240 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 5
  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 Welling is based on 20 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 78 number of registered child places is 15.6, which has been reached with 20 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.
