Review from Adam B (Father of Child) published on 24 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our two boys have been attending Monkey Puzzle Marleigh for over 18 months and we could not recommend the nursery enough. They have both developed so much and absolutely love attending and seeing their friends and the staff who are brilliant. Communication between parents and the nursery staff is very good, we will often use the app to check in on their progress and the daily updates are extremely detailed.

Reply from Karen Anne Barker, Manager at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Cambridge, Marleigh

I will pass this on to the team who work so hard to ensure that the children enjoy fun and interesting teachable moments during their time at the nursery and that our relationship with the parents and carers is strong and supportive. Thank you for taking the time to leave such positive feedback.

Overall Experience

Both my children love going to Monkey Puzzle Marleigh. We look forward to seeing all of their learning and activities through daily photographs on the app. Their maths and phonics skills have really improved and we can see what a positive experience they have each day. Watching them progress and achieve so many things is really lovely to see. The nursery team are always so warm and nurturing and their parent events are always great!

Overall Experience

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 soon as possible after careful discussions and thinking. The nursery is clean, tidy, and full of fun. They do so many creative and well-thought-out activities. Our child adores the staff and they love him too. When we sent him to the nursery, I was so nervous as a new mum, but now I feel so relaxed knowing that he is in safe hands and he has been developing so nicely in a happy environment full of lovely little ones and caring adults. I want to thank all staff for the care they have been giving to my child. I cannot praise this nursery enough.

Reply from Karen Barker, Manager at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Cambridge, Marleigh

My kid looks forward to daycare every morning. They keep me updated on activities and meals. The staff is super friendly, and my child bonded with them fast. I attended an open afternoon and everything was just lovely. Reliable place all around!

Review from Jessica S (Mother of Child) published on 13 December 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We love our nursery! It’s a beautiful setting with so much natural light and free flow between outside and inside. My 1 year old daughter is so happy coming into nursery and loves the staff! I trust them completely and can go to work knowing that my daughter is loved and cared for. I love coming into the baby room to collect her and see where she plays and what she’s been learning. When she’s been poorly or had a bump the staff have been amazing taking care of her and keeping us informed. The chef is amazing and I love seeing what she’s eating at nursery for new meal ideas at home. I can’t recommend them highly enough, wonderful team of professionals!

Reply from Karen Barker, Manager at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Cambridge, Marleigh

Thank you for such a positive review. We value your opinions and we will share the feedback with our team who give the best care to your child during their time here.

Review from Steffie M (Mother of Child) published on 13 December 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been going to the Monkey Puzzle Nursery, Marleigh for the past few months. The motivation and encouragement he receives from the staff everyday has helped him to settle down confidently. The food that he eats everyday is exceptional. It makes us happy as parents when we see that he has tried something new or has eaten most parts of his meal. We have also seen changes in the way he does things which might likely be due to the daily routines he follows at the nursery or by watching his peers. Communication has always been seamless verbally and via the app. As parents we are very content with the child led learning atmosphere at Monkey Puzzle.

Reply from Karen Barker, Manager at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Cambridge, Marleigh

Thank you for such a positive review. We aim to work with the parents to offer the optimum caring and nurturing environment and offer an open-door policy to ensure that all the children's needs are met every day.

Lovely, friendly staff, receptive, communicative. My son loves going to the nursery and joyfully walks in independently in the morning, something I wouldn’t expect if he wasn’t given the diligent attention the nursery offers. The chef caters an amazing food menu for the children.

Overall Experience

My children have attended Marleigh Monkey Puzzle for 10 months now and I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. Both my children have come on leaps and bounds and their vocabulary, numeracy and communication has improved dramatically since attending this setting. The staff are extremely caring and nurturing, focusing on individual needs. Both children absolutely love their nursery days and it's hard to drag them away at the end of the day.

Review from Nicola B (Mother of Child) published on 14 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Every day our daughter leaves nursery happy and energised. She moved from another nursery, aged 15 months, and she settled really well. The meals are nutritious and varied and the sleeping environment is spacious and comfortable, so we have peace of mind that she is eating well and getting good rest. Every week the staff plan interesting, engaging activities and the open inside/outside layout is fantastic. We could not be happier with the nursery.

Review from Craig P (Father of Child) published on 14 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has been attending Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Cambridge, Marleigh for seven months now and I have had nothing but a positive experience. My child loves to attend and always talks about his day and what he did with certain members of staff. His learning is far beyond what I would have expected for his age and I put this down to the care, attention and patience he receives in the setting. The nursery also provides a variety of nutritional food which has also helped with my child's eating habits. The staff are always polite and friendly and will tell me about his day, as well as providing regular observation updates through the app. Overall, a great experience and I would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Marleigh.

Reply from Thulie Tshalibe, Director at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Cambridge, Marleigh

Thulie Job Title: Nursery Director Joined: 2022
Thulie

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 Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2022
Karen

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.
