Review from Raluca S (Mother of Child) published on 8 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The best nursery in Maidenhead! The staff is amazing, they are caring, compassionate and love our children so much. They are hard working and go the extra mile for the children. The communication is great, whenever I was in need of something they were happy to help. Although my daughter has been there for a few months, it feels like she's been there forever. She loves the staff and made incredible connections with them and other children, she is always happy to go to nursery to see all her friends, she sings at home about her friends and the staff. She has become even more independent than what she used to be since joining Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery. Everyone in there is so lovely, and they do so many activities for kids. Their day is full of fun, laughter and learning. My only regret is that we haven't been with Monkey Puzzle from the beginning. Thank you for everything you do for our children, you all are superstars!

Overall Experience
My son is almost two and a half and started just before his second birthday. He does three full days a week. It took a couple of weeks to settle in but ever since he has been very happy at Monkey Puzzle. He’s grown in confidence in that time and his language has developed rapidly. He is very well attached to his key worker and the other staff, which is a big relief to me as a parent. The nursery management are very professional and organised as well as caring. The nursery is clean and tidy and the meals are varied. Monkey Puzzle uses an app to give parents updates - meals, sleeps, nappy changes etc. It’s lovely to see what he’s been up to.
Before nursery, my son was always cuddled to sleep. I was concerned that he would be sad about taking his nap without me. He got the hang of it really quickly and has been fine ever since. Thanks.
My four year old attended a few ad-hoc sessions during the summer holidays and really enjoyed it. He often asks whether he can go back.

Thank you, Monkey Puzzle Maidenhead.

Overall Experience

Our little one loves going to Monkey Puzzle Maidenhead. Staff have been very professional and friendly and there are lots of activities taking place. The children can spend a lot of time in the outside garden and there have been many arts and crafts activities. We love that the nursery also has some special themed weeks like the visit to the seaside. When our little one was in the baby group, we liked the fact there was a separate room for the children to nap in. Some of the staff have been there since our little one started and even though she moved up a group, she still interacts and says hello to them.

Review from Monika J (Mother of Child) published on 22 August 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We signed up our son to the nursery when it was newly open. This made us slightly anxious, but apart from a few teething problems which you would expect from a new place, all has been fine. The staff looking after the children are really lovely, responsible and accommodating (our son is absolutely in love with one of the ladies!). The food is balanced and varied, we are being informed with great detail as to what our son ate every day. The management is accommodating and very open to conversation about any concerns. Most importantly our son really seems to enjoy going there which is nice to see. I recommend the nursery without hesitation.

Overall Experience

I have seen a tremendous change in my child's speaking and learning skills within two months of time. I am happy that preschool in Monkey Puzzle will be a great platform and staring at the school next year. She is becoming more independent and doing all things on her own self. I have seen that confidence has been improved a lot. Thank you Monkey Puzzle staff and manager by providing a wonderful culture/value to the next generation.

Review from Dhanya M (Mother of Child) published on 21 August 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started at Monkey Puzzle, Maidenhead when she was 10 months old. The initial month was hard for both of us, as she really struggled to settle in. During this time, the staff went the extra mile with her needs, giving her loads of cuddles and making her feel comfortable in her new environment. She absolutely loves going to the nursery and it's her second home now! They constantly plan fun activities for the kids. The Management are great and they really care about the children. From a practical perspective, the location and 7.30am-6.30pm opening timings are fantastic for commuting parents. On the whole, I would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle!

Overall Experience

Great Nursery, my child loves her key worker and staff in her department and I leave for work knowing she is being well looked after. The food is cooked fresh daily so I know she is getting a varied and nutritional diet. They are now helping her to take her first steps and encourage her which is great.

Review from Abhijit G (Father of Child) published on 11 June 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Being an Indian parent, I was a bit hesitant and over possessive for my child and was not sure how things go in a nursery. With a confused mind, I enrolled my son to Monkey Puzzle Maidenhead.
My son was very naughty and not someone who will sit at a place for more than 3 mins. 5 months down the line, I must say that the results are remarkable. He has improved so much that we realized that it was a very positive move to get him into the nursery. All the staff members at nursery take care of him, motivate him and encourage him to learn new things. He has developed his table manners and social manners.

Recently, he has started learning French and was amused to see my child doing so well. Thanks to the manager for suggesting the right thing for my child in a timely manner so that we can do our bits from our side. My son really enjoys going to nursery and it's a great thing to see him grow and improve each passing day. My big thanks to the entire staff of Monkey Puzzle Maidenhead.

Review from Kerry-Ann M (Mother of Child) published on 4 June 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My 2.5-year-old daughter has been at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Maidenhead since they opened in January 2019. I took a gamble as they were brand new with no Ofsted rating. Thankfully my gamble paid off! I can highly recommend this nursery and all the fabulous staff that work there. My daughter loves going to nursery! They do many different activities, have lots of outside play time and even do trips to the park across the road for a change of scenery. They also held an Easter tea party in the garden and invited parents which was a lovely idea! They have an app which they update with nappy/toilet info, food and sleep patterns. The food is all organic from local Maidenhead suppliers and they get a hot tea in the afternoon as well as a hot lunch. The long opening hours are fantastic too - 7.30am - 18.30pm. The facilities are all brand new and very clean. The location is also very convenient - a stone's throw from the train station and easy to get to the M4 from the town centre. Ample parking outside. Perfect!

Prerna Shah Job Title: Nursery Owner Joined: 2019
Prerna Shah

My name is Prerna and I am the owner and manager of Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery, Maidenhead.

I believe in hard-work, compassion and kindness and I live by these values. I like to talk about psychology and often sway towards thought provoking topics such as the “meaning of life” and making the most of “the present”.

I started my career as an IT Trainer and then worked as a Consultant in the IT industry for over a decade. I enjoyed the fast-paced working environment, taking on multiple IT projects and travelling across Europe for work.

In late 2015, I became a mum of a beautiful daughter, Keira. I wouldn’t say that having a child slowed me down, however, I started enjoying little things in life like when she clapped her hands together for the first time, her first words, or her first steps. Being a workaholic, I went back to work full time only after 4 months, having to leave her in the nursery. Keira spent more time at the nursery than at home with us.

Then Noel, our son, was born in early 2018. Whilst I was pregnant with him, we took a decision to become a franchisee of Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries. I love watching and seeing children grow, observing their ever so imagination and creativity, and seeing how they interpret the world around them. I am looking forward to working in childcare. I feel my skill set from my previous experiences will help to make this nursery a success and I cannot wait to see many more children taking their first steps and learning life skills in preparation for ‘big school’ and beyond
