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.

My daughter settled into Monkey Puzzle Marleigh beautifully. She is painfully shy but the staff were incredible and in no time she felt completely at ease with them. She really grew up and matured during the time she spent at the nursery. She has has just started Reception at school and was definitely
ready and well-prepared.
We are delighted with the care she received! Highly recommended!!!

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our 18 month old is thriving at Monkey Puzzle! The staff are so kind, passionate and caring towards every single child. They really know our cheeky boy and how to further his development. All of the staff are so nurturing, but from the moment we started in the baby room, the staff made us feel so much
comfort leaving him with them and we knew we never had anything to worry about. Since transitioning to the toddler room,
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.

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!

We couldn't be happier with the care and attention our son receives at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt welcomed and reassured that our little one was in the best hands. The whole team are amazing.
A special thank you to two members of staff in particular,
who go above and beyond every day. One member of staff has a remarkable bond with my child. His enthusiasm and dedication truly evident.
Another member of staff is equally wonderful, with her kind and nurturing approach. She has an incredible way of making my child feel seen and valued, and her patience and warmth are unmatched.
The team here works tirelessly to create a safe, stimulating, and loving environment. We've noticed such a positive change in our son since he started - his confidence, communication, and excitement to learn have all flourished.
Thank you, Monkey Puzzle team, for the amazing work you do. We wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent!

Outstanding early years education experience at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Cambridge, Marleigh. It has been an amazing choice for our 7-month-old daughter. The staff are warm, professional and attentive, ensuring each child feels valued and cared for. The clean, safe facilities are thoughtfully designed
with age-appropriate toys and sensory materials that support development. Our daughter loves the engaging activities like sensory play and music sessions, which have helped her thrive.
We're especially impressed with the daily updates, including photos and notes on her activities and milestones, which keep us connected and reassured.
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!

We are so pleased with Monkey Puzzle Marleigh. I feel that my child is in safe hands and I think for a parent that says it all. All the staff are amazing, very knowledgeable, caring, and loving people. They keep us up to date with our child's progress and they do listen and accommodate our needs as

Our child adores the staff and they love him too.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.962)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.962) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Cambridge, Marleigh 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.962 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Cambridge, Marleigh is calculated as follows: ( (254 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.962
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Cambridge, Marleigh is based on 22 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.

Thulie

Thulie

Job Title: Nursery Director Joined: 2022

My name is Thulie and I am a mother to three beautiful children. I spent a considerable amount of time in Sweden and I was very impressed by their take on nursery and pre-school learning, which focuses on child-led learning and creativity, in addition to using the outdoors to encourage exploratory learning. I believe this helps the children at this tender age to develop in leaps and bounds, compared to their peers who are not actively exploring and utilising the natural spaces around them.


I have worked in the City specialising in Finance roles, within multinational companies. Prior to that I worked and managed settings in Social Care, supporting young adults with Autism and Learning Difficulties. The experience I gained in this sector has given me a solid understanding of the importance of Safeguarding, Health and Safety and Compliance within a setting as well as providing a caring and stimulating environment for the people we care for every day.


My promise to parents, who choose to entrust us with their children, is that I will personally work with our very experienced manager and team to create a home from home environment for their children and can be confident that their children are getting the best care, cuddles and comfort.

Karen

Karen

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2022

My name is Karen and I am the Manager of the Marleigh nursery.


My passion for working with children began when I had my own amazing family and I found myself looking at the world through their eyes and seeing how their personalities and interests developed with their experiences. I moved from my career in finance to specialise in the Early Years childcare sector working at a preschool and primary school whilst supporting children with autism and SEND until finally joining the senior management team at Monkey Puzzle Cambridge 3 1/2 years ago as a Deputy Manager.


I am supported by an incredible team of educators who use their skills and care to nurture the children at Marleigh. This includes planning for their next steps and development, using activities and resources to inspire awe and wonder in their learning, and most importantly, giving the best cuddles if needed. I am proud to say that my deputy, Louise, was recently a finalist for the Nursery NMT Top Practitioner award. Another important member of our Marleigh family is our talented chef, who keeps the children safe and healthy every day, using the freshest ingredients to produce tasty and nutritious meals.
We also love to share the nursery with our parents and welcome them to our open events, which are filled with activities and celebrations.
