Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Astwick

Our daughter joined the nursery soon after it opened and she loves it. She settled in very quickly and made lots of new friends. The staff are amazing as they make learning fun, our daughter has learned so many different skills in the nursery. They have a lovely outside space and they get to go on lots of walks to explore fields, animals and a lake. I would definitely recommend the nursery.

Can't recommend enough you won't be disappointed.

I can't speak highly enough about this nursery. Since our daughter has been going there we, i.e. Mum and Dad, have seen her come on and develop so quickly. The app is brilliant where you can see what your child has done in the day and regular pictures are posted every day so you can see your child enjoying their day. The staff keep you up to date on developments and how your child is progressing. 10/10. Never seen our daughter looking so happy to be there. Brilliant place brilliant staff.

We moved our son to Monkey Puzzle in July 2020 and he’s thrived since joining. The key is the combination of great facilities, staff that he loves, the outdoor space, and the fact that the nursery is on a farm (with tractors and animals on view every day). I cannot recommend it enough.

We are absolutely delighted with Monkey Puzzle Astwick. Often amazed at the staff creativity to keep the little ones busy and open their eyes to the world. The access to the farmland is a real bonus, allowing the children to have everyday interactions with the natural environment, and learn how to be creative around it. Space is luxury and seeing pictures of our daughter running in a field simply is priceless. I would recommend this setting to anyone looking for a nursery.

I would strongly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a nursery for their little one to be cared for. We have 2 children at the nursery. Our eldest is in the preschool and the youngest started in the baby room and recently moved into the daisy room. We are extremely happy with all-round what the children receive. They are truly loved and cared for in the best way possible, lots of opportunities are giving and learning activities linked to the EYFS but still having fun. The nursery is situated on farmland where the children can explore the piglets and sheep! The staff are knowledgeable and always there to help!

I have loved seeing our little girl settle into a nursery routine so happily and quickly thanks to the friendliness of the staff at Monkey Puzzle. The settling in sessions worked great to help build up our daughter's confidence before staying for a full day and it's lovely to then receive photos throughout the day of what fun activities they are doing. It's a great feeling to be able to pick up your child at the end of a day with a great big smile on their face. Thank you to all the staff at Monkey Puzzle.

Our son started at Monkey Puzzle two months ago. After switching from another nursery, he settled in very quickly and absolutely loves it. The location is amazing. He loves his walks and seeing the farm animals. The caring and compassion from the staff are amazing. There are a comprehensive handover and app that you get constant updates on. Wish we switched our son earlier to this nursery.

Great nursery! Beautiful setting and really caring staff. After having a wonderful nanny for the last 2 years, we were rather apprehensive to send our son to the nursery, but as he will start a preschool next year, we decided it’s time to boost his socialising skills and we are delighted with Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Astwick. The management is very approachable and responsive and the nursery nurses are really kind and well organised with a series of engaging activities keeping our son involved and entertained. I would definitely recommend this place to any parent who is looking for good quality childcare for their little ones.

The team at Monkey Puzzle Astwick are truly wonderful. Our little one took some time to settle, but the staff were so warm and welcoming and now she loves it! She comes home happy and tired every day having had adventures and fun with her friends. The team have also fully accommodated our little one's allergies and they go above and beyond to make sure she is safe but included. Fantastic nursery and beautiful setting. Highly recommended!

Our daughter loves her time at Monkey Puzzle. The staff are caring and really take the time to know each child. Our daughter can be ‘a character’ and I am always 100% confident in how the nursery looks after her while she is there. The activities they involve the children in are wide-ranging and always fun. The facilities are outstanding and I love how they encourage the children to be outside whenever they can. Our daughter's key worker works closely with us to ensure we all know how she is developing and is starting to really encourage toilet training and behaviour charts. I would totally recommend Monkey Puzzle to any parents looking for a caring, stimulating and well-equipped nursery.

I cannot thank the manager and her lovely team enough for providing such a fun and friendly environment. My child is thoroughly enjoying nursery and is thriving. The genuine interest and care my child is given makes a real difference. 100% would recommend any day of the week. The manager is very transparent and proactive about anything that might impact on the children etc and it very appreciated.

This nursery is most nurturing loving perfect place to send your child, my son adores every day he attends here and loves all of the staff each and every one of them are amazing and adored by my son. I trust them completely! Great facilities, lots of activities on hand for kids, lots of outdoor play! Every day my son attends he claps and gets excited as we pull into nursery! Which tells me how much he enjoys being there! My son has allergies and staff are amazing at preparing him dairy, gluten and wheat-free food - it’s never too much for them and are very much enjoyed by also! Overall one of best nurseries I visited before choosing one for my son ! It has everything you would want in nursery setting !

Our experience of Monkey Puzzle Astwick has been fantastic. Our little boy has started within the last month, and struggled to settle (he’s only 10-months-old and has barely been apart from me). Every member of staff, particularly his key worker and room leader, have been fantastic in both helping him settle at nursery and helping me feel confident that he’s in good hands. I’ve never felt like I was a burden for asking how he is or making requests about his naps etc. They’ve been incredible and I can’t thank them enough for making the experience calm and happy. The facilities are excellent, the staff are always presented well and so friendly. The setting of the nursery is second to none in the local area and they go above and beyond.

Can’t fault anything with them.

A fantastic, large, immaculate and friendly atmosphere created by the Monkey Puzzle team. Both son and daughter, aged three-and-a-half and eighteen months, love it here. Kind, professional and diligent staff. I love the family app and constant updates.

I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone at the Astwick Monkey Puzzle. My daughter had not settled in a previous nursery and it was terrifying starting that process again, but what a breeze. The staff are so welcoming, friendly and have built up a brilliant relationship with my child. I love getting the pictures through the day and the ladies always give me a great run-through of what has been going on. They are not phased when my child cries and handle it with ease, love and care which is really reassuring as a parent. I feel confident and happy leaving her in their hands. I can see massive improvements in her development which is just incredible and a testament to the work they do. The nursery is perfectly situated, just off the A1 but in the midst of the countryside - ideal for exploration and fresh air. I love it, her father loves it and most importantly it gets a big ol' high five from my 11-month-old.
