About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

My son started here after a few failed attempts at other nurseries in the area. I cannot speak highly enough of Monkey Puzzle Timperley, my son has come on leaps and bounds and is ready for his new adventure at big school. He has thoroughly enjoyed everyday here, he's met some lovely friends. the staff are welcoming, friendly. Keep me updated throughout the day and then handover make sure I know everything he's done that day. We've been on trips together which was lovely, I got to meet other parents and see how my son interacts with others. We are sad to be leaving. I cannot reccomend you enough. I tell anyone who's due to have a baby too come here for a visit. Thankyou for all your patience, cuddles and love from AJ xxxxxx

Our child has been at Monkey Puzzle from 6 months old and has loved every day since then. He doesn't want to leave at the end of the day, which is a testament to the staff and how much he enjoys it. Every day is different; they are always doing different activities and getting outdoors in the huge garden. The food is also amazing; he eats better than we do! Finally, the staff are all incredible and so friendly and caring.

We had a difficult start to childcare with our son's first nursery being closed down, and a short period in another due to house-move. We then moved to Monkey Puzzle Timperley and have had absolute unwavering confidence in the team there from day 1. Our son is well cared for, he is happy and encouraged to learn, he loves it! He comes home speaking Spanish, telling us about stories they have read, activities they have done etc.
Communication from staff is excellent and plenty of photo updates which we enjoy showing back to our son at home.
I would highly recommend this nursery.

Monkey Puzzle is a lovely nursery, my daughter loves coming here. The staff are exceptional, they have made great connections with my little one and I can see she feels completely relaxed and happy her. I get regular updates on the app on what activities (including pics), food, sleep etc has occurred throughout a nursery day which is really nice and I can check at any point in the day. They offer a versatile menu which my little one loves. They do different themed activities each day/week and no day is the same and plenty of outdoor fun in their fantastic garden. I Would highly recommend.
