Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Astwick

A lovely nursery set in beautiful farmland. My daughter loves attending monkey puzzle Astwick, she particularly enjoys the forest school and the French classes. The staff are super friendly and supportive. We will miss them all when school starts in September.

Thank you Monkey Puzzle Astwick, you are brilliant!

Amazing nursery always helping my daughter to progress and always take such great care of her. Monkey Puzzle Astwick have an amazing outside space for all ages of children, especially the forestry school. The nursery has made my time going back to work so easy and especially with the great communication throughout the day.

The children go on daily outings and have sign language classes and it's lovely to see the daily posts on the nursery app as to what themes are going on each week. Thank you!

Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Astwick has provided great care and attention both individually to my daughter as well as to us as a family. The staff are so welcoming and you feel part of a family. The farm environment is fantastic and my daughter loves the outdoor adventures that the nursery location allows. I would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Astwick. Thank you to all the staff.

This is the nicest nursery in our local area. It is situated in the countryside which gives our son the opportunity to see farm animals and go for walks with his friends. All staff are always lovely and know a lot about our son. I love hearing stories of what he got up to during the day and seeing photos of his playtime.

We couldn’t be happier with the nursery. As parents of a baby born in lockdown, leaving our daughter in someone else’s care felt particularly strange but the nursery staff made us feel immediately at ease from the beginning knowing that our daughter was getting the very best care and attention. She settled quickly and now gets excited for her days at nursery and loves all of the staff there. The setting really is idyllically located on a working farm surrounded by countryside, and a huge benefit for us is the gorgeous outdoor space and the way the nursery promotes outdoor play and walks. Highly recommend!

My daughter has been going since she just turned 1 and the nursery had recently opened. The staff are all brilliant, communication is great and my daughter enjoys going. The location was one of the key decision makers of choosing to go here, the beautiful farm setting is peaceful and offers fantastic walks and open space. We’re looking forward to moving up to the preschool class, for more educational challenges.

The staff at Monkey Puzzle Astwick are simply amazing, their dedication and care have never left me in any doubt that our son is in the best hands and receives the best care possible. He has developed so well since he has been coming to this nursery and the location in the heart of a rural village farm is truly special.

I'm so pleased that he has a place here and loves his nursery so much.

This nursery was recommended to me by a friend and I’m so glad she did! After the first viewing, I wanted to sign my daughter up straight away. It is set in a great environment on a farm where the children are taken outside as much as possible. The rooms inside are spacious and clean. The children have the opportunity to take part in all sorts of messy play as well as craft activities. The staff are all extremely friendly and have a great relationship with my daughter. She is always happy to go through the door and is always smiling when she’s picked up so we know she’s had a great time. The care she receives there is second to none and I’m never worried about her while she’s there. She loves the food as well and quite often will have seconds!

Our little boy has been going to the nursery for over a year now and he loves it. The nursery has wonderful outside spaces and facilities which is important to us, the staff are friendly, caring, and helpful. He always eats healthy meals that are varied and thoroughly enjoys them! I can’t recommend Monkey Puzzle at Astwick enough!

Our daughter has been at Monkey Puzzle since the summer of 2020 and she has flourished. She loves the vast array of activities on offer and the children she goes to nursery with are lovely and she has made wonderful friends. The staff are superb. They keep you informed, are approachable and have a lovely manner with the children. There is also a great deal of rigour when following the EYFS framework and this is linked to all activities and observations. Our daughter has now joined the pre-school and she is thoroughly enjoying the forest school! We would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle.

Our two-year-old daughter has been attending since the age of 10-months, and we couldn’t have hoped for a more caring setting. All of the staff build lovely relationships with the children and create so many activities. My daughter especially loves going on walks and seeing the sheep. She is thriving in their care, and they know her so well and how to support her. We are so happy to have found a nursery where she walks in and out every day with a smile.

Very welcoming. My daughter loves going and loves going out exploring in the fields and joining in the outdoor activities no matter the weather. Communication is excellent with daily updates of what has been done and I can always get hold of the nursery to check up on my child.

My daughter has now been at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Astwick for nearly two years and has moved from Daisies to Lillie's to Bluebells, which is preschool. My daughter is incredibly happy in her new class, and the transition has been seamless. The nursery is always working on new ideas such as French and singing lessons, as well as looking at ways to provide support. They are also gaining feedback from parents to continually improve. Health and safety are always at the forefront, and I had no hesitation in signing my little one up to their Forest School! The whole team are engaging and listens, and it is immediately apparent how child-focused everyone is, which is exactly the assurance a parent needs when leaving their child in somebody else’s care. We moved away from the area and didn’t even consider looking for a more local nursery. We will be sad to leave when my daughter eventually goes to school.

My daughter started nursery here when she was 9 months old (she’s now almost 2 years old). The nursery go above and beyond to ensure that the children have a wide range of activities to strengthen their development. My daughter has learnt so much from nursery and is ahead with her communication and language because of this.

We did have one issue with the nursery’s wipes as our daughter is very sensitive. Having noticed after a day or two that was the issue, the managers were more than happy to sort this straight away. They arranged a meeting and discussed going forwards what could be done to ensure our daughter didn’t have any more reactions. They also changed all the wipes in the nursery to sensitive ones to ensure this didn’t happen again.

My daughter loves coming to nursery and I would highly recommend this setting and the lovely staff team that work here. It’s also a massive bonus being on a gorgeous farm setting!

My son has attended Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Astwick since he was 8-months old. I really wanted him to attend a nursery that allowed him to play outdoors often which is one of the main reasons I chose this nursery for him because it's on a farm. The children get to go on walks to see the sheep, jump in puddles, climb trees, and the older ones have a Forest school. He has French singing lessons once a week, they have a pet snail and the activities are very imaginative! I couldn't ask for any more, my son loves his teachers, he has a "girlfriend" and I'm really pleased with the decision to send him to this nursery.

My son loves coming to Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Astwick. He has attended since he was 9-months-old and always wandered in happily. He loves all the outdoor activities and seeing the farm animals when they venture out! He will be attending right up until he absolutely has to leave. The staff are always friendly and kind, and really seem personally invested in my child's development. I've recommended this nursery to two of my friends now, who both also love it!

My son has been at Monkey Puzzle in Astwick for 18 months. I looked around numerous nurseries before choosing this one but the beautiful settings, friendly knowledgeable staff and the promise of a lot of outdoor adventures sold it to me. We have not been disappointed. My son loves going there and adores the staff in his room, regularly telling me they are his best friends. We love how he gets to go out on daily adventures around the farm, explore, play, and jump in muddy puddles having lots of fun with his friends. The staff are supportive, encouraging, and very caring. My son is thriving here, his speech and development surprises me every day. He is a chatty, affectionate child and the staff support the children’s needs individually and allow them to grow and show their personalities. I am kept up to date with his progress and receive daily pictures of their day. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.
