Monkey Puzzle provides a fantastic environment for young minds to bloom. The staff are wonderful and genuinely care for the children's wellbeing. My son loves his time there and has learnt a lot, and is being prepared for reception in a very structured way. We love Monkey Puzzle and will be sending our younger son there too.

Review from M A (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
From the very beginning, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made our daughter feel right at home. The staff are not just professional, but truly invested in each child's growth and happiness and super friendly. My daughter has blossomed during her time here, developing new confidence and assertiveness every day. The team encourages her to express herself, participate in group activities, and take on little challenges-all of which have helped her become more self-assured and outgoing.
Her speech has improved remarkably, thanks to the nurturing environment and the thoughtful, language-rich activities. The staff celebrate every word and encourage conversation, storytelling, and singing, which have all contributed to her growing vocabulary and communication skills.

What sets Monkey Puzzle Cheam apart is their dedication to stimulating young minds. The nursery is filled with creative opportunities-painting, arts and crafts, and imaginative play-all tailored to spark curiosity and support .

Review from Jazmine L (Mother of Child) published on 26 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have two of my children at The Monkey Puzzle, and can honestly say the nursery is incredible. I was so anxious leaving my baby, but the staff are so reassuring, kind and understanding with me. My three year old is always so excited about nursery, and talks about what she does there, her friends and the nursery workers all the time at home.
I love the family app, and always look forward to the many photos they upload daily.
The fun activities and resources they have are fabulous, I love it that they take the kids on little outings in a wagon, all safely strapped in, with a little high visibility jacket on (so cute). The staff & management, (everyone) are so approachable, kind and knowledgeable.

What I love most about the nursery, is that when I collect my children at the end of the day, the nursery worker explains to me what they have been doing that day, you can see they are passionate, and my children are surrounded by love and kindness there. I couldn't ask for a better nursery.

Reply from Annoo Walia, Director at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Cheam

Thank you so much for this incredibly heartfelt review and for trusting Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries with both of your children.

Review from Chloe P (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

While this nursery has a clean, attractive environment and a lovely outdoor space, our experience showed it is not equipped to support children with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Our son attended for just over two years from 16 months old, during which time there was an alarming amount of staff turnover, resulting in little consistency or stability.

As our son's speech delay and additional needs became more apparent, we felt the nursery lacked the training, knowledge, and resources to support him. Behaviours linked to communication difficulties, such as scratching or biting, were treated as issues rather than understood as unmet needs, leaving us feeling judged rather than supported.

Communication was poor throughout; we are still awaiting responses to queries raised over six months ago, despite multiple chases. The nursery also refused to co-sign our son's DLA application and had to be repeatedly chased to support his ASD assessment paperwork, highlighting a lack of understanding

Reply from Annoo Walia, Director at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Cheam

Thank you for your feedback. Our nursery is well equipped to support children with Special Educational Needs. We have clear SEN procedures in place, including a designated SENCo, ongoing staff training, and close partnership working with external professionals. Due to confidentiality, we are unable...

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Monkey Pozzle. Our daughter looks forward to going every morning, and we've seen so much growth in her confidence, social skills, and communication. We especially appreciate the regular updates and photos from the staff, which keep us involved and reassured. The facility is always clean, secure, and thoughtfully designed for young children.

Highly recommend to any parent looking for a high-quality preschool that feels like a second home.

Review from Arjola A (Mother of Child) published on 27 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This was the first time I had ever sent my daughter to a nursery, so it was a big step for us. She started when she was nine months old, and now she is 16 months. I couldn't be happier with everything the nursery has done for her and for us as a family. She is always happy to go in the morning, and it is clear she truly enjoys her time there. The staff are incredibly attentive, caring, and always ready to help. Knowing she is in such a loving and supportive environment gives me so much peace of mind.

Review from Alessandra G (Mother of Child) published on 23 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son loves attending nursery at Monkey Puzzle Cheam. All of the team members are approachable, kind and understanding of any concern or request and always happy to help. My son has really grown in confidence since attending nursery and I can see that he really loves the place and the people that he his around.

The activities that they do are varied and related to the curriculum, with lots of outdoor and messy play. Feedback provided for the day is very detailed, and handover feedback is also great. Furthermore, they provide a wide range of photos every day, which is nice to see what little ones have been up to. The food provided is varied and healthy, and builds toddlers into confident, independent eaters. My son is thriving at MP Cheam and I am beyond happy with the decision and choice of nursery that we made.

We couldn't be happier with our daughter's experience at this nursery. She absolutely loves going in each day and always comes out smiling. It's clear she feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
The ladies in her room are truly passionate about what they do - you can see it in the way they interact with the children and the attention they give to each individual child. They've created such a warm, nurturing environment where our daughter is thriving both socially and developmentally.

It gives us so much peace of mind knowing she's in such caring and capable hands. Thank you to the whole team for everything you do!

Annoo Walia Job Title: Nursery Owner Joined: 2021
Annoo Walia

My name is Annoo, and I am the proud mother of a teenage son. I changed my career in my early years, 19 years ago, after the birth of my son. From that moment, child development has been a passion and has stayed with me ever since.

In my 16-year successful career in Senior Management and Consultant roles in Early Years Childcare, I have always been driven and committed to providing high-quality childcare. I have played an active role in Ofsted inspections and successfully achieved several ‘Outstanding’ and ‘Good’ grades for the nurseries. I am very passionate about providing outstanding care and learning opportunities to children in a safe and thriving environment, working closely with families, members of the team, local authorities, early years support teams and the local community. I am currently working towards making Walton-on-Thames a Hygge Accredited Nursery. I have taken my inspiration from the Danish concept of Hygge (a successful Scandinavian approach). The Hygge approach aims to create a greater focus on calmness, joy and simplicity in our environment to improve the well-being and mindfulness of the children and team. We bring more nature, cosiness and simplicity into the environment and give it a more homely feel. At our nursery, we will look at children taking the lead in their learning and how we can effectively support this by setting up meaningful enhancements and provocations.

I am very pleased and overjoyed to join hands with the award-winning “Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries” to begin a new chapter towards my dream of having my own nursery. I look forward to bringing my wealth of knowledge, family-oriented values, and experience to make this nursery a huge success and a significant addition to the local community.
