Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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

My son has been at Monkey Puzzle Timperley since a baby, and I can only say I've been beyond happy with the care he's had. He's been safe, happy and surrounded by people who have cared for him. He's not just enjoyed his time, but he has learnt a lot in an easy to learn environment. He's enjoyed everyday,
learnt a lot and it's an amazing nursery. All of the team at monkey puzzle have been beyond amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery

Amazing nursery with a family feel and the best outdoor play & learning space in Timperley / Altrincham.
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.

My little one enjoys it here.
The staff have been great in helping her settle in, and she enjoys attending, and specially playing outside because of the rabbits!
The food sounds great and she eats most every meal.
The office staff are really helpful with the admin side of things too, and everyone
is so friendly when you drop off and pick up

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.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.901)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.901) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Timperley 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 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 4.975 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Timperley is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.975
  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 4.926 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Timperley is based on 10 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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.8 = 0.926
  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.
