Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Cambridge, Marleigh

My son has thrived since joining the nursery. He has developed a lovely personality and made lots of friends. The staff are always brilliant and Karen and Lou are always so reliable and understanding of the pressures parents face. They are friendly, empathetic and always smiling which makes a difference to the start of each day.

We couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery for our son - Monkey Puzzle Marleigh. He's settled in wonderfully, and after a few initial tears he now gets very excited every time we go past, wanting to go inside! The staff are brilliant. They take wonderful care of him and are prompt to answer any queries we have. We really enjoy the feedback from staff in his room at the end of the day letting us know how he's got on and what he's been up to. Couldn't recommend them enough!

We can't thank the team at Monkey Puzzle Nursery enough for the incredible care they've given our baby since he started at just nine months old in September 2025. From day one, the staff have been so kind, attentive and genuinely caring it's clear how much love and thought they put into everything they do. They've helped him settle in so confidently, and it's been amazing to see how happy, comfortable and settled he is there. The communication is great, the environment is nurturing, and we always feel reassured knowing he's in such safe hands. We're so grateful for everything the team does and couldn't recommend them highly enough.

My son has been attending the nursery since he turned 1 and has been in both the baby and toddler rooms. He has grown and thrived so much since attending. The staff are kind and attentive, and it seems like all the staff (from all three rooms as well as support staff) know all the children, which gives a really nice feel. My son's key workers have always given us great feedback - as first time parents it's been reassuring to know he's progressing with his social and behavioural skills as expected! He has a lot of fun doing the various activities and playing inside and outside, and comes home with a smile.

Thank you to all the staff for taking such good care of my little boy! We would definitely recommend Monkey Puzzle Marleigh.

Our daughter has been in the nursery since 7 months old and she is so happy there. They say it takes a village to raise a child and as expats without any support the nursery sure feels like our village due to the incredible staff there. It brings us great peace of mind to see how much the staff seem to care about her and her development. Their weekly themes and activities are great and management has been very helpful.

We are so grateful for the wonderful care that has been provided over the past month and a half. Our little one seems so content and settled at both drop-off and pick-up, which has given us such peace of mind. It's clear she feels happy, safe, and comfortable. The staff is really good with the little ones, organizing weekly themes for them to explore. I am very happy we chose this nursery.

We couldn't be happier with this nursery. From the start, our son settled in quickly and is always excited to go. He comes home happy every day, which tells us everything we need to know. The staff are fantastic - warm, caring, and genuinely dedicated. They take the time to really know the children, and it shows in how safe and comfortable our little one feels. Any questions or concerns we've had have been handled quickly, professionally, and kindly, which gives us complete confidence and trust. The activities are varied and engaging, and we love how much thought goes into creating such a positive environment. We feel very lucky to have chosen this nursery and would wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent.

We are delighted with the care she received! Highly recommended!!!

Our baby started the nursery at 3 months old and she enjoys it here very much! The nursery employees are very kind and attentive to her needs, provide us with regular text and video updates about her development, and regularly play development games with her. We are grateful for the care our daughter receives here!

Our daughter settled into Monkey Puzzle very easily; their settling in period was more thorough than other nurseries we had looked at and it definitely paid off. They let the child inform who the most suitable key worker will be, and in our case she absolutely adores her key worker. The staff are lovely and my daughter is learning so much from them - coming home speaking new words etc.

We can highly recommend the team at Monkey Puzzle Marleigh. The setting is new, spacious and full of natural light for little ones to thrive. The staff is so attentive and friendly, and I felt confident to leave my little one in their hands. The managers are very present in all the activities and the staff in the baby room have always been so lovely to my son. He thrived so much in the last year and loves going to nursery. Thank you to all the team who have showed so much nurturing love in the past year, easing the mum guilt of leaving baby especially in the first days.

we have found it a smooth process and our child loves it! We lucked out too as his key worker moved up before him! Communication is brilliant and we never have any issues, especially as our child has a food allergy and they regularly check before giving him something with that in, as well as having colour bowls for allergies so all staff are aware before giving out food. I will forever recommend this nursery as we love it so much and our child is so cared for there!!

My son has been at this nursery for over a year now, so I can confidently say what a great place it is. From the very beginning, the staff were incredibly supportive and understanding, helping him to settle in at his own pace. They took the time to get to know him, comforted him when he was unsure, and made sure he always felt safe and included. Their patience and warm approach really helped build his confidence. It's clear they genuinely care about the children, and I've seen him grow in confidence, independence, and happiness during his time there.

Thank you, Monkey Puzzle team, for the amazing work you do. We wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent!

Hello. This is the best place for children. The staff are friendly and will always find a way to the heart of a little person. Lots of educational activities, games, reading books and fun dances. My daughter is happy every day when she attends classes. And the food is tasty and healthy. Which is very important for parents.

Our two girls started going to Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Marleigh from April 2024 onwards and they absolutely love being there. The staff both in baby room and toddler room are caring, knowledgeable and very loving. They keep us up to date with our child's progress and they do listen and accommodate our needs. We look forward to the observations, their learning and the assessments we get from the staff - it tells you the staff knows your children so well. The girls love all the different activities they do - specially singing and dancing and it's great as parents to see such developmental leaps since they've joined the nursery. Lastly the on site chef is amazing, prepares nutritious food and has catered to our dietary requirements well. Thank you to all the staff and the management for taking such good care of our girls, I can't recommend the nursery enough!

For outstanding care, excellent communication and a nurturing environment, we highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery. It has exceeded all our expectations.

Our daughter has been attending for over 6 months to the baby room and we are so happy with the care and service provided by the nursery. They were wonderful at helping her settle in and all staff are so caring and loving of the children. She loves the different activities, particularly singing and dancing, and we like getting a report on how her development is going and new skills she is acquiring. The chef on-site is great and she gets to taste so many different foods, which we are really happy about. We highly recommend it!

Lovely setting with very dedicated staff! They have been brilliant at helping my daughter settle when she started a year ago, with a good number of settling-in sessions that involved both stay-in sessions for parents and leaving her for a couple of hours. The transition was seamless for her. Since she started, she made leaps in her development, language and social skills. Great set of activities and they spend loads of time outdoors. The staff are lovely and very attentive to her needs. Management is great and very good at communicating everything! The on-site chef is brilliant and the food range is super healthy and delicious! Cannot recommend this nursery enough!

We have two children attend Monkey Puzzle Marleigh and cannot recommend it highly enough. The staff are nurturing, creative and professional and it is clear that they really know our children well. Our preschooler is full of positive energy at the end of every day and our baby has had all the cuddles he needs as he settles in. Special things of note include Monkeynastics, a gymnastics session every Monday that my preschooler adores. Every day has outside play time and the rooms are designed to free flow to the garden. The curriculum is engaging and individually personalised. Last but not least, the chef is a genius - the menu is balanced, varied, fresh and tasty. Whoever can get my plain pasta-eating kid into fruit, veg and second helpings of lunch and tea is doing something right!
