About this price
How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

We honestly couldn't rate this nursery highly enough. My girls have been here for a few years and the care, support and education they have received has been amazing. They have learnt and developed so much during their time here.
Every single member of staff is wonderful. They work incredibly hard, genuinely care about the children and communicate brilliantly with parents. We've always felt completely confident that the girls are happy, safe and cared for.
The nursery also goes above and beyond to make things special, celebrating events throughout the year including Diwali, Christmas, Valentine's Day and Easter, as well as organising trips out to places such as the local park.
As the girls now come to the end of their time here, we will be so sad to leave. We are incredibly grateful to all the staff for everything they've done for them and couldn't have asked for a better nursery experience. We would recommend them without hesitation!
Thank you so much Danielle for the lovely feedback about the nursery, events and the staff. We wish the girls the very best as they move onto Primary School.

Fantastic nursery, I would highly recommend. I have had two children attend this nursery with one still attending now in the toddler room and I can honestly say the care and nurture is outstanding aswell as the learning aspects from such a young age. My son takes part in French and phonics weekly with lots of messy play aswell as singing dancing and lots of story time. Each and every staff member has always been amazing especially Barb one of the managers who is hands on aswell as managing the whole nursery and team who has been there since my first child was there 4 years ago. They have a wide and healthy variety of food each day for the children and accomdate to all allergies and needs for each child . I have experienced other nurseries previously with my eldest child which i was never 100 %happy with however monkey puzzle has been a god send for comfort and security that my children are being cared for and looked after amazingly and professionally while being nurtured.
Thank you so much Hannah for the amazing feedback about the nursery, staff and meals.

When we started his nursary at Monkey Puzzle, he was just around one year old, and we naturally had lots of "mum guilt" about leaving him so young. But within a week, he settled in so well, which gave us so much reassurance.

When we started his nursary at Monkey Puzzle, he was just around one year old, and we naturally had lots of "mum guilt" about leaving him so young. But within a week, he settled in so well, which gave us so much reassurance.
We have loved receiving his weekly feedback and hearing about what he has been doing and learning. Some of his most special milestones happened at nursery-he started standing, walking and saying new words. Coming home and hearing him say a new word made us incredibly happy.
It has also been lovely watching him make friends and become more confident and independent.
Looking back, choosing Monkey Puzzle for him was truly one of the best decisions we made. We are so grateful to the whole team for helping him grow into the happy little boy he is today.
Thank you Shivani for your lovely feedback about the nursery.

The staff at Monkey Puzzle are absolutely brilliant! I'm very grateful to have such a lovely nursery on our doorstep with such caring staff who really go that extra mile to look after our little boy. The details in their observations never go unnoticed and everything they write relates to what he's interested in and things he does and says! We are always greeted with smiles and happy faces on drop off and pick up, and if anything needs bringing to our attention they are hot off the mark! 10/10. Great nursery

My son absolutely adores everything about Monkey puzzles. His confidence has grown so much, he loves his yoga sessions and his French lessons and is always in the garden! He's always doing different activities, messy play, reading. Everything. The staff are lovely, open to communication and handovers are given after every single session. Communication with management is quick, efficient and really simple. We love Monkey Puzzles and are going to be so sad when he graduates this year!
Thank you for the lovely feedback and comments about the nursery.
My daughter has been at monkey puzzle for almost a year now, she loves it.. the staff there are amazing with her, they definitely have helped her and are very welcoming there. I am so glad I enrolled my daughter here.

The nursery has always supported and worked with me and my child from the start, they help work hand in hand with the learning and skills my child needs to learn both at home and at nursery. The communication between them and ourselves is very strong, regardless of how hard the subject might be. My child is very settled in the nursery and has come on leaps and bounds since starting there. We couldn't thank the staff and management enough for all the continued support of our child's education and continued support in the family in general. Monkey Puzzle isn't just a business or a nursery, it is a family, they all make you feel so welcome and so safe to be around.

Monkey Puzzle is a warm, friendly nursery that really cares about its kids. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting there and is a happy, sociable little girl. The staff are all fantastic, and there is a great range of activities for the children to do set out each day. Facilities are good, particularly the outdoor space. They have an onsite kitchen and are fed home-cooked well-balanced meals daily.
Such lovely feedback which is great to hear- thank you so much.

The staff are really friendly and communicative and keep us informed. The app is great for seeing what she's been up to during the day too, with photos, updates on her progress as well as being informative about what she's eaten, toilet, etc...
Overall, it's obvious our child is engaged during her nursery time and she comes home tired and happy, which is a credit to all at Monkey Puzzle.
Would highly recommend it.
Thank you for your lovely comments- we are so proud of your daughter's nursery achievement.
