Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Walton-on-Thames

Since our son joined in April he has had a wonderful experience at this nursery. The staff are caring and attentive, creating a warm environment where he feels happy and secure. There are a wide range of engaging activities that encourage learning, creativity and confidence. The sensory play is so imaginative and links to a weekly theme. We also love the outdoor experiences he gets at the allotment, park, garden and playground.

I am so happy that I chose this nursery for my daughter. My daughter is always telling me exciting, fun stories about her day with the teachers and friends. I have noticed such an improvement in my child's independence and confidence since being here. The teachers always go above and beyond. They always keep me informed of daily activities as well as my daughter's progress with them.

Extremely happy and my daughter is even more happy to attend. She asks to attend over the weekend as well. The staff is very caring and professional, they organize great and engaging activities for the kids. Thank you all so much

My daughter and son both go to this nursery and I couldn't recommend it enough! Caring, super helpful and friendly staff. Both kids love going and enjoy all the activities they do with them, and their outings.

My daughter, 18 months now started Jan 2026. Her first week was tought for her and my self as she had never really been away from me, but after the fist week she had settled so well and this was thanks to all the amazing staff members at the Nursery, they are all so caring, kind and friendly. My daughter is not a great eater, however over the past 4 months she is getting better and have tried a variety of amazing foods prepared by the on site chef, from roasts to, rice dishes, pastas, all freshly made on the day and smell amazing. Since joining three nursery my daughter vocabulary has inproved as well as her social skills. All the facilities are very clean and very well presented. I am very happy and impressed with Monkey Puzel Walton, I cannot fault them and my daughter is happy every morning to go there and loves all members of staff. I highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Walton.

We have seen such a positive change since starting here. The team created a calm, nurturing environment where children feel safe and genuinely known. Staff are warm and attentive, encouraging independence with care, communication is clear, and the setting is thoughtful and well run. We are grateful for the support shown each day.

My son has been going to Monkey Puzzle since he was 1 years old and has since progressed to the next year up , a transition that was gently done to ensure he settled well. I cannot commend the staff and management highly enough, from the activities , trips out and family events, the nursery has a wonderful family feel and when deciding on a location for your child that's what you look for , "a home from home". There has been a lot of support for my child and guidance to promote independence and learning and he looks forward to going , running in on his own ready to start the day.

My child has been at Monkey Puzzle since 2024. When she first joined she was a shy little girl. Since she joined the nursery she has improved in her social skills massively. The staff have been amazing, caring, kind and very supportive all throughout her journey in MP. Now that she is leaving to school (2025 Sep) she is all ready for school, developed well in her language etc. as the teachers were dedicated towards getting them ready for scgool. MP has got amazing resources, creative activities, healthy food patterns, and overall amazing experiences for the little ones.

My son has been to Monkey Puzzle for 6 months now. He is very happy and enjoying all the activities. The staff are very warm, caring and genuinely interested in children's development. The daily updates and photos are a lovely touch too. My son since he started at Monkey Puzzle is thriving.

Our four-year-old has just finished at Monkey Puzzle and we already miss it! It's a caring, well-run nursery with dedicated staff who genuinely care about the children. The owner is passionate, hands-on, and sets a warm, positive tone throughout. The setting is clean, well-organised, and thoughtfully laid out to support different age groups and activities. Although the outdoor space is on the smaller side, the team makes up for it with regular outings - to local parks, the riverside, allotments, and even the pet shop, which our son loved. The daily updates via the parent app are excellent, with detailed observations and lovely photos that help you feel involved in your child's day. We saw real, lasting progress in our son's speech, confidence, and independence during his time there. The preschool room does a brilliant job preparing children for school, and we're so grateful to the whole team. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a warm, enriching environment.

Our 1 year old daughter is in Snuggle Pots and absolutely loves it. She is always happy and excited to go which gives us great peace of mind. The staff are incredibly kind, caring and attentive, creating a warm and a nurturing environment. Management is excellent, professional, supportive and always approachable. We have seen such positive development in our daughters confidence and social skills since starting. Couldn't be happier with our experience - highly recommended!

Keep up the good work Monkey Puzzle.

We couldn't be happier with Monkey Puzzle. Both our 2 year old and 3 year old absolutely love going and we as parents feel incredibly reassured knowing they are in a safe, caring and nuturing environment. The staff are professional but genuinely kind and loving. They've taken the time to get to know our children individually, supporting their unique personalities and their development. Their confidence, social skills and independence have soared.

We couldn't be happier with Monkey Puzzle. The staff are brilliant, and genuinely care for the children. We get daily feedback and photos which are so lovely to see. My son started at 11 months old and settled so quickly. He has been encouraged every step of the way with his walking and talking, and I truly believe the wide range of activities on offer to the children has helped him so much.

Monkey Puzzle is a lovely nurturing nursery that really cares for the children they care for. We have really enjoyed our time here.

We are extremely happy with Monkey Puzzle as a whole. Our daughter is thriving and loves coming here. The staff are friendly and accommodating to both her needs and my personal circumstances. The communication is fabulous. I walk away from nursery knowing that she is having fun with the staff who have a genuine care for her development and well-being. Couldn't have asked for a better setting for my daughter.

My son has flourished at Monkey Puzzle. He started at 6 months and I was worried about him being so young but settled quickly with caring staff and now, over a year later, going from strength to strength. There is good provision and good communication and understanding staff with things that may be going on at home. Would love to be able to afford to send him more days!

We absolutely loved sending our 2-year-old to this nursery. The staff were extremely competent. The managing team showed great interest and leadership. Wonderful events were hosted to include all the family. We were very sad to leave when we moved out of the area, and have not found another place like it. Would definitely recommend joining. Thank you for making going back to work so easy. Many thanks.

I stroke luck when I found a free space at Monkey Puzzle for my little boy. Despite a complicated and sad private situation at home I always felt safe and at ease to see the excellent care being provided in this heaven. With joy, I witnessed his incredible development which I couldn't have been without the support and guidance from the entire team at Monkey Puzzle in Walton-on-Thames. I truly recommend this nursery for the care, activities, love and celebration of different cultural events being provided to children.

My son loves being at Monkey Puzzle, I moved him from another nursery to this nursery in January and he settled in immediately. All the staff members are absolutely fantastic they are kind and patient and always keep you informed on their daily activities and I adore seeing the weekly picture updates on what all the children have been up to. Nothing is ever too much trouble and the children’s needs and welfare are a priority, my heart is always settled when I leave my son there. I would highly recommend them to everyone.
