Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended since she was 1 years old and as she approaches her 2nd birthday I'm so happy to share that she is flourishing. She LOVES attending and this is because the staff are so kind and supportive. The nursery has been a huge part of my daughter's continuing development and I'm so pleased
that her core personal development and social interaction skills have started here, with such fond memories. Staff are approachable and communicate well with families about our children.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been part of the Monkey Puzzle Chadwell Heath Nursery family since our daughter was just 1 year old, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the care and support she's received. Our daughter is now thriving-she is always excited to go to nursery and comes home each day full of stories about
what she learned and the fun she had. It's clear that the team at Monkey Puzzle create a joyful, stimulating, and safe environment where children can explore, grow, and develop at their own pace. The educational activities are thoughtfully planned and cater to each child's interests and developmental stage. We've seen so much progress in our daughter's communication, confidence, and social skills. As a parent, it's incredibly reassuring to know she's in such capable and caring hands. I can't thank the team at Monkey Puzzle enough!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Monkey Puzzle Nursery since the age of 1, and I couldn't be happier with the experience she's had there. From the very beginning, the staff have been absolutely amazing - warm, professional, and incredibly supportive. It truly feels like a second home for her.
She has
learned so much during her time at the nursery, and it's wonderful to see how excited she is to go every day. In fact, she enjoys it so much that she even asks to go on the weekends just to play and learn more!
The nursery provides a nurturing environment with fantastic developmental support and a great variety of healthy, delicious meals. It's clear that the well-being and growth of the children are top priorities here.
I'm so grateful for the care and attention my daughter receives at Monkey Puzzle. Watching her thrive and grow in such a positive setting has been an absolute joy. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and enriching place for children.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Being a first-time mum it's so scary sending your baby to nursery to go back to work. Not knowing where to go or what's best for your baby. By chance, I found Monkey Puzzle online as it's close to my work and I'm so glad I did. My little boy started here when he was 9 months old and I can not fault
this nursery or the staff at all. Their communication and updates are brilliant. They are always doing a wide range of activities and including all the kids each time. They have a wide range of foods and they have such a good routine for the kids. The app they use is brilliant and helps put you at ease when your child is at the nursery. Thank you Monkey Puzzle.

I am comfortable having my son at the Nursery. My son was well-received and enjoys being there. I don't have any complaints to make. The staff are charismatic and kind. The children are motivated by a series of activities that help their development and performance so that they can relate well. Every
week they make a children's report informing the progress of each one.

I have my twin sons attending Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery. I highly recommend this setting as the staff provides great care and supports children in their development. The staff is well trained and educated about allergies and emergency procedures. The space is safe for the babies and toddlers. Staff
organise various activities during the day and the parents get updates through the online app/insta page which is very helpful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery is excellent.
My daughter started at 5 months and she has thrived since joining. It’s remarkable how much she has developed since starting at Monkey Puzzle, and I think this is one of the best investments I have made for her and our family.
The staff are all top level, it’s clear they
have an excellent rapport with the children. They are very welcoming and really feel like you are part of a large family. I regularly see kids being dropped off and literally running into the nursery sometimes forgetting to say bye to mum/dad which is clearly a great sign! I rave about this nursery to all my friends and family - I really couldn’t recommend it more.

My little girl has attended this nursery from 5 months old, 1 year on and I still can’t thank them enough for the effort they put in and all the help they offer. The level of communication is amazing and I love the updates about her food, what she is doing throughout the day and whenever I message they
are always so polite. Thank you to all the ladies for looking after my daughter.

Very pleased with the nursery services and the staff!
My elder son attended the nursery (and now my younger one) since he was one and settled quite well. The nursery also helped to flag sensory issues with my elder son and supported us with initiating and submitting EHC plan for him. My younger one
too enjoys going to the nursery and has made very good progress in his overall development.
The staff is lovely and keeps us updated on children's activities with photos and observation notes.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.433)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.433) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Chadwell Heath is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Chadwell Heath is calculated as follows: ( (36 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 5
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.433 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Chadwell Heath is based on 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.25
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 82 number of registered child places is 16.4. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.4 = 0.183
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Owner and Director Joined: 2019

I have always aspired to run my own nursery. I have a great understanding of the importance of the early years in a child’s life. I love children and am keen to help give them a good start, with the opportunity to grow and learn in a safe, secure and caring environment.


I grew up with very strong family values where a child’s upbringing and education was always paramount. I believe that a child’s successful journey starts from very early education so it is extremely important to provide a setting where children have an enjoyable, fun learning experience. I have gained excellent skills in my previous jobs which are transferable to any business. I am keen to apply my skills and talents in running my own childcare business. I investigated a number of routes to open a nursery and I found Monkey puzzle to be the most professional nursery franchise that would allow me to achieve my goals.
