Dolly and Bear Day Nursery

Highly recommend Monkey Puzzle.

My little girl has only been going to this nursery for around a month now but she absolutely loves it! All of the ladies are so lovely and she has so much fun. We love all of the updates on the app! As a new mum going back to full-time work, you just want to be reassured your little one is in the best hands. Thank you.

The most wonderful nursery. I couldn’t be happier with this nursery. My son loves going and the manager is absolutely fantastic. I would recommend Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Southend to anyone! My son is always happy and tells me how much fun he has every single day.

My daughter has been attending for a couple of months now. She went from being really anxious and worried to absolutely loving it in a very short space of time. All the staff have been amazing and the app is a great feature. I can definitely tell she has picked up some more skills since being there.

Thank you for taking care of my treasure.

Really great place. Staff are excellent, friendly and it has a close family feel. Always know what they have been doing all day or eating via the app. My son loves this place and his nursery teachers. Highly recommended.

The staff are really friendly always keeps me up to date on his development and always trying new things with him.

I’m very thankful for being so amazing and being so good to us.

100% recommend to all parents that want the best for their children. ????

My son loves the nursery and he has been able to develop his social skills thanks to the magnificent efforts by the staff who engages him a lot. Great staff to children ratio, good communication and wide range of foods served to children. I'll definitely recommend.

I am happy with the staff and the activities the children are involved in. My daughter enjoys going there and playing, they have a garden and kids are prepared for school learning letters, singing and eating healthy.

Lovely nursery, brilliant staff and brilliant communication with staff to parents. My child loves this nursery. I wish this nursery was around when my eldest went to nursery as its lovely. I love the app that they use to communicate with the parents.

My daughter currently attends this nursery and we have had amazing experiences with this nursery. The staff are very caring, attentive to her needs, communicate with us parents brilliantly and have my daughter's best interests at heart. This nursery isn’t money-orientated like the rest we’ve previously visited/attended, they truly care about the children they have attending. The extensive list of activities and trips out that the nursery offer is what made us choose them, I prefer a more natural approach with natural open play toys/gentle parenting and the nursery covers both gentle caring wellbeing and mainstream caring. 5-stars for absolute sure!

My daughter has been going to Monkey Puzzle for over a year now and she has come on so much. I really liked the look of the setting when I had a look around before sending my girl there. The staff are polite and helpful and tell me what my little girl has done through the day. She really enjoys going to nursery. I have also recommended the nursery to my neighbour who is sending their son to Monkey Puzzle in September. I really like the nursery and will tell anyone who asks.

Absolutely love this nursery! They are so friendly and understanding here! My son never has a bad day and is always busy doing something! My son has been speaking so much more since starting and will even tell me about his day!

My son has been at Monkey Puzzle for just over 6 months and I cannot recommend it enough. He settled in really well, we have no issues at drop off he’s happy to stay there. The staff are so committed to caring for your child but also developing them - my son has really come out of his shell with other children and his communication skills have really improved. Facilities are excellent and there is always an activity alongside playtime.

I was so worried about my son joining a nursery because he wasn't very sociable when it came to other kids but we couldn't be happier. The staff are incredible, so friendly and caring. My son has progressed so much within six months and I truly believe that's due to how understanding, patient and caring the staff are to the children. Would highly recommend this nursery, it is so accommodating for all children.

An amazing place for kids and the lovely staff are always available. My son enjoying his time spent in the nursery and is always happy to come here. I could not recommend a better place. Thanks for everything and especially for the patience needed to work with the kids.

My daughter has been going to this nursery for about 6 months and all the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and take great care of all the children they look after. My daughter always comes home really happy and wanting to tell me all about what she had done at nursery and is always excited to go back. With all the extra measures that have had to be put in place due to COVID, they have been very informative and very professional and I believe they have been doing great to uphold all hygiene requirements. I think it’s great how they have taught the kids about the virus and my daughter is now obsessed and always asks to wash her hands to get rid of the germs.

I love the fact the staff are very caring, approachable and professional. My little one is enjoying nursery and I can see the activities are improving her skills in many ways. For me it has been an excellent experience and above all I know my little one enjoys it!
