My son has attended Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Stafford since he was eight months old, he is now two years and ten months old. With the help of the lovely staff at the nursery, they have helped my son progress in all areas of learning. I have regular updates on an app, so I am able to see what area of learning they have been focusing on. My son is happy and content when he is at nursery, if I ever have any worries, I am reassured straight away. My son has an allergy issue with foods, and whilst I am going through a stressful time with the doctors, the nursery has been so helpful in cooperating with not only myself but with my son's needs to ensure he has the appropriate foods at meal times. Thank you again to all the staff at Monkey Puzzle.
Thank you for your comments- we are so proud to be able to cater for your sons individual needs.

Monkey Puzzle has been brilliant for my son; he's been there since six months old and has thrived in his development. His walking and communication skills are improving and can understand what he's saying. The staff work really hard and are non-stop in their roles. They are very accommodating to work around you and your child, which is great because each child develops differently. My son goes in with no problem and really enjoys himself. The food is always great, and he's tried lots of different varieties, which is great. It's a brilliant nursery, and so pleased my son enjoys it there.
Thank you for your review and we are so glad of your lovely experience
I have always had a positive experience with the care of my child whilst at Monkey Puzzle and the general concern for safeguarding and everyone's well-being. My child is always happy to go to nursery, full of excitement when I collect him, with lots to tell me about his day and often crafts to...
Management has always done their utmost best to cater my working hours around my child's care to the best of their ability, taking a massive weight off my shoulders, and it is always appreciated.
Thank you for the lovely comments about the staff, food and your experience.
It took 5-6 months before I could drop him off and didn’t cry or cry when picking him up! It took a lot for me as a first-time mum to trust that the team knew best. To continue to believe he would settle in...
It took 5-6 months before I could drop him off and didn’t cry or cry when picking him up! It took a lot for me as a first-time mum to trust that the team knew best. To continue to believe he would settle in time and to trust the process! Every day I did a handover in the morning, and the team communicated via the app during the already busy day to keep me updated and reassured!
We had a few tough months with being unwell weekly and generally not settling, but the team and management worked with me and my son to make every day a more enjoyable one. I trust the team and the processes. I believe they listen to me, and nothing is too much. I’m confident that my little boy is now happy and in the best place to learn and thrive. All members of the staff my son at 19 months know and talks about at home. I definitely would recommend - my son loves the daily activities, the fish, the outside area and the staff.
Top nursery!
Thank you so much for your honest feedback about our nursery.
Very good nursery! Always keeps me updated on my daughter's progress and is forward-thinking with her learning. Always take in all festivals and get everyone involved. My daughter has been here since she was four months old, and loves it here. A lovely bunch of staff - always smiling.

Thank you for the lovely comments. It is so lovely to see your daughter growing with us.
My child has gone there for a year now, and he absolutely loves it there. Staff are amazing with him, and they are all so lovely. He always comes back home happy and never has an issue with going there.

My little girl started attending this nursery in March this year, we viewed other nurseries including ones closer to us and more convenient to get to. This was the only nursery that stood out to us, they took their time showing us around when we went for a visit, they showed us all the safeguarding procedures they have in place which was comforting. Now she's been attending for just over a month and she is loving it, we are so happy we decided to go with this nursery! The staff are just so lovely and she loves going there, and especially loves their outdoor facilities!
I can't thank the staff at Monkey Puzzle enough, my daughter absolutely loves coming to the nursery and she feels so happy and safe going there. She started in May 2022 and has grown in so many ways this past 12 months, she loves telling me all about her day with such joy on the car journey home....
The communication with all staff is brilliant, they are very thorough with feedback/progress. They are all so lovely and caring that makes us feel really comfortable with her being there. I also love being able to click on the app and see what she's been up to throughout the day!
Highly recommend, amazing nursery. Thank you.

In that time I have seen his confidence go from strength to strength, he loves coming home and talking about the science experiments they have tried, showing us yoga and the French words he has learnt.
The staff are all incredible and super friendly. There is always a listening ear if you have any concerns and they are happy to give you advice to support learning at home too.
Management are also extremely helpful and always take any concerns seriously and responds quickly.
The app is a great way of knowing what's going on with the day and keeps you updated.
After lockdown my little one was so anxious and nervous but with support from Monkey Puzzle he's now so much more confident.
I'm quite sad that our Monkey Puzzle journey will be coming to an end this summer when the little one starts school.
I would strongly recommend Monkey Puzzle to any parents especially those with a quieter child that needs some encouragement
So very happy that we chose Monkey Puzzle Stafford for our daughter. She has settled so well and loves her time at nursery. The staff are fantastic and are really encouraging of little one's independence, whilst also supporting them and helping them learn. Fantastic hot meals and my daughter...
Excellent learning opportunities for the children, lots of invitations to play with different tables and activities set up daily and outdoor play too.
I would like to recommend Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery. My daughter has been going here since she was two, and they have always explained the days she has at nursery and have always been polite. My daughter tells me about everything she does at nursery and how much she loves it.

Cannot recommend the nursery and staff highly enough. They all go above and beyond to help wherever they can. Every staff member knows every child within the nursery. The children are all happy and engaged in whatever activities are available. Parents and grandparents are always welcomed and included in special events within the nursery. Fantastic place for my granddaughter to spend time learning and playing with her peers.
Excellent childcare at the nursery. My son loves his days which are filled with fun educational-enhancing activities. The staff are always lovely, welcoming and smiley. There is time given to talk about my child’s day - overall a great nursery.

My children have been attending Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Stafford for 2 and half years and I couldn’t ask for a better nursery. I am always happy with the care the staff deliver and know my children are safe and in good hands. My children always go happily into nursery and the staff always provide effective communication on collection and pick ups and also over the family app. The staff are always friendly and approachable and management are great too. I feel they have all of the children’s best interests at heart which is so lovely to see! I would recommend Monkey Puzzle Stafford to all of my family and friends.

My daughter has recently started Monkey Puzzles and can safely say she has settled really well, she has never been left before so this was a massive step I can not say in words how brilliant Monkey Puzzles has been with her. She is so happy to go to the staff who are wonderful, friendly and most of all caring. There is also a massive change in my daughter’s development in the short time she has been going which is extremely satisfying.

My name is Gaitri and I am the proud owner of Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Stafford. Being a mother to four young children, I am aware how the first years of a child’s life lay the foundation for their future. Children need to read and write, but they also need to learn through play.

Coming from a teaching background, I appreciate the commitment and dedication required to deliver a positive and enriching learning experience. This shall be the essence of all that we do and is emphasised in our mission statement…
