Very pleasant environment. My child always looked forward to coming. Nice time spent in the outside garden. My child enjoyed the story time the most.

Overall Experience

Even if my son did not attend this nursery for a long period of time, we could not be more happy with his progress. I always felt he was supported, and encouraged, that he had the freedom to do what he wanted, meaning he could choose what activities he was taking part in. No matter what my question was, all members of staff always answered politely and nicely to me. Really happy I chose Monkey Puzzle for my older son, his brothers will definitely be the next ones on the list.

Overall Experience

Although our son didn't want to go to nursery at the beginning, after a week or so he was so loving it and didn't want to stay at home, even for the weekends, this means he is so happy there. Thanks to the amazing staff, he learnt so much and he is more independent now, thank you!

This is a terrific day nursery that we would highly recommend. The manager is always available and so helpful. Then there was our little one's key worker, who is caring and compassionate.

My 4-year-old and my 3 year old attended Monkey Puzzle and they loved coming to the daycare. Plenty of activities were offered to them every day and it definitely helped them improve. I am sad that my children have to leave but I am happy with the progress they made. The team is amazing and very caring. Thank you!

Overall Experience
This review is related to Father's Day and my nursery visit.
It was a very nice experience to be in my child's room. He was so excited to take me around his room and play with his stuff.
I found his room clean, neat and tidy. So many things to keep him engaged and happy. I was surprised to see an independent and confident child while using wash basics, toys, and books.
I also found all the staff attentive and alert all the time.

Thank you for everything we both spent time well and enjoyed ourselves a lot.

Monkey Puzzle has always been very understanding and helpful with child arrangements and are always willing to assist where they can. It has been very positive for myself and my child. They have been able to learn new words, skills and manners and enjoy every session. From the activities to the food and the friendly staff were excellent.

Overall Experience

My son has been going to the nursery for the last 18 months. He has grown in confidence so much and I can not thank the staff enough for their kind nurturing nature. They are all amazing and I honestly can not fault them. The fees are great especially as everything is included. They are always looking at new innovative ways to enhance learning. I love the new app so we can see what the kids have been doing. I would highly recommend. Best decision I ever made was to send my son here. Thank you all for everything that you do for our kids.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the work and effort for my son; it was an excellent experience. Thanks to the staff, my boy speaks the state language of this country, and thanks to you, my child knows how to eat by himself. Thanks to you, my child grew up in everything it means to be a disciplined and well-educated child.

Review from L H (Mother of Child) published on 12 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son joined Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery in November 2022 at just under the age of 18 months old. It was our first-ever experience with a nursery. I was quite nervous to begin with but literally after his first settling-in session, my nerves were put at ease. The rooms, facilities and garden are all done up nicely. I have a great relationship with the staff, they've all been a pleasure to deal with. Most importantly, my son loves going to nursery. He can't wait to get in the front door and let loose!

Ritika Job Title: Nursery Owner and Director Joined: 2019
Ritika

Ritika – Nursery Owner

My name is Ritika and I am the proud owner of Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Watford.Previous I worked in the insurance industry for 12 over years acquiring a strong financial and management background before taking a career break to raise our two children, Mahika and Maanvi. I am very much a hands on mother with a great passion for quality childcare and the drive to run a successful business.

The idea came to me around three years ago when my kids enter into my life.Then I realise that’s work I really enjoy. I love their energy, honesty and their total love of everything fun and exciting. I really enjoy sharing new ideas and experiences with them. My hope is that I can create a fun, exciting and caring learning environment. I have a lot of patience, enthusiasm, creativity and enjoy helping children (and adults) to discover new things. I want to create an environment that is exciting and fun for the children and my staff. As long as children are given, love, support and encouragement they will succeed. Job satisfaction was the most important factor in choosing a career, and working with children, I believe, is the ultimate choice.”

I feel my skillset 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. A full time Nursery Manager with the appropriate qualifications will be recruited to manage the day to day business operations, whilst I look after growing the business and managing the relationship with staff and parents.
