We moved to the area a couple of months ago and had visited lots of nurseries, but this one really stood out to us. Every member of staff were welcoming and our daughter seemed to really enjoy her settling in sessions. She's been at the nursery for a couple of months now and we couldn't be happier, the team are so kind and supportive, she has formed really strong bonds with the staff in her room & loves going in every day. The nursery do lots of activities with her, music, reading, football - they even had chicks there during Easter!! She comes home beaming and telling us all about her fun days. It's everything any parent could wish for & we are super grateful for all the team at Riverside.
Thankyou so much for your lovely review. We love all the activities and fun each day at the setting and will most definitely continue to do so, we will continue to progress to make each day meaningful for each child and are glad we can include families in this too.
I had a wonderful experience with this nursery and would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing environment for their child. From the moment we first visited, it was clear that the staff genuinely care about the children and take pride in what they do. Every member of the team is polite, approachable, and always willing to listen to any concerns or questions.
What stands out the most is the level of attention each child receives. The staff are patient, kind, and very attentive, ensuring that every child feels comfortable, supported, and happy throughout the day. It's reassuring to know that my child is not only well looked after but also encouraged to learn, play, and grow in a positive environment.
The nursery itself is ,well-organised, and filled with engaging activities that keep the children stimulated and excited. Communication with parents is also excellent, with regular updates and feedback.
Thankyou so much for the lovely review. We are glad you are happy with the setting, we have a very open door policy and will continue to communicate well with families to let them know how their child is at the setting each day.
Choosing a nursery is a big deal, but we definitely made the right choice with Monkey Puzzle. Our son is so happy and settled; he genuinely loves the space and all the fun activities they provide.
We want to give a special mention to Alyssa, his key worker, who has been absolutely brilliant in helping him feel at home. The entire staff is amazing, and we are so glad he's in such a caring environment. Highly recommend!
Thankyou for your lovely review, we are so glad you are happy with the setting.
My son started at this nursery last week and has had a very supportive settling-in period. The team explained everything clearly and took the time to gather all the information they needed about him.
He has settled in so well, thanks to the wonderful staff, engaging activities, and the genuinely kind care he receives from everyone there.
I'm a very happy mum and so glad I chose this nursery.
Thankyou for your review! We aim to have a very in depth settle period to make sure we know all about your little one before starting the setting to give them the correct routine and care. We are so glad you are happy with him attending with us.
Monkey puzzle day nursery have been amazing with both of my daughters . One is in baby room and the other in Tweenies. They get so excited to go and since moving them from their previous setting they have come on leaps and bounds. The activities they have been part of so far in a short amount of time is amazing and would genuinely recommend them to anyone. The staff are so kind, I know that both my children are well looked after and cared for whilst under their care.
Thankyou for this lovely review! We always aim to make our activities engaging and exciting for all and are so glad your children have been developing further whilst with us at nursery.
I can't thank you enough. Our Son recently joined after being at a different nursery and the difference is amazing. He gets excited about going, doesn't stop talking about his day and always asks if he can go again. Monkey nursery fun is his most used sentence now. Keep up the amazing work.
Thankyou for your lovely review! I am so glad your son is happy here, we love that 'Monkey nursery fun' is his favourite sentence, this is so lovely to hear.
We moved our son here from another nursery setting recently and he's now like a different child. He can't wait to get out the door in the morning , and is always happy on pick up and talking about 'monkey nursery' and that he 'like it' to anyone that will listen. The staff are all so friendly and always so helpful and happy . Definitely recommend this place over any others in the area!
Thankyou for your lovely review! I am so glad your son is happy and settled in with us, it is always so important to us for each child to feel safe and happy at nursery and we are so glad this is showing when picking him up from a fun day!
We are extremely happy with our experience at this nursery. The staff are always caring, friendly, and patient, and our child feels safe and happy every single day. The activities are creative and varied, and communication with parents is excellent - we always receive updates and lovely photos that brighten our day. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the team puts so much passion and care into everything they do. We highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a loving and professional environment for their child!
Thankyou for this lovely review. We are so happy that you feel confident with the nursery and feel welcomed each day. Our famly app is always such a great way to communicate and we are so glad that you see the passion and care from our lovely staff team.
My son started at Monkey puzzle from the beginning of July for when I returned to work. I was hesitant at putting him nursery but the staff put me at ease from the beginning of contact with the staff. The show round was so informative. Then the settle in sessions staff were so warm and welcoming and put me at ease when it came to leaving my son for the session. From his first session I was worried he wouldn't settle straight away as it's a new environment for him but he loved it at nursery all day. Every time we are at nursery we are sent pictures on what he is up to throughout the day and they will inform us of any concerns. My son is now forming an attachment with the staff which I am happy to see.
Thankyou for your lovely review. We aim for our showarounds to be very informative whilst warm and welcoming, creating partnerships with our families is always so important to us as this really helps yourselves and your child settle into the new environment. Our app is always a great way to communicate and i am so glad you are happy here at Riverside.
I love that the staff keep in contact throughout the day and send pictures of what activities my daughter is doing. We are so grateful to all the staff that look after our daughter.
We would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Riverside, we couldn't be happier with the decision we made!
Thankyou so much for your lovely review. We are so happy your daughter has settled here with us. Our app is always such a great way for us to involve you in our day here and really glad you love this too.
He loves the outdoor space and really likes the little activity bags he can take home to play with. We could not be happier with our choice.
Thank you for your review. We are so glad you are happy with your choice! Our busy bags are always a favourite with the children, and we love to see the photos we get sent in for our scrapbook.
My daughter is so happy here. She settled in really quick. The nursery staff is always friendly and welcoming. I also like the fact that they are posting my daughter's activities on Famly. This way I know she is fine and enjoying her time there.
Thank you for your review. We are so glad you are happy here with us, and we will continue to send photos home. It is so important for the parents to see how their child is whilst at nursery and have this partnership with us.
The play facilities are amazing and also it's in the staff's best interest to encourage each child's development.

Excellent nursery would highly recommend it, my daughter loves going to see her friends and playing with all the messy activities. The staff are so welcoming and keep me updated throughout the day. Love hearing my daughter's stories about her day.
Thank you for your lovely review. We really enjoy messy play and make sure all of the activities meet the children's needs and areas of development. We are so glad you are happy with the handovers, it's so lovely that we get to share these stories with you.
The setting has been done up very nice and vibrant, first thing I noticed when I visited. Staff are friendly and helpful. My son can't wait to go to nursery each day and whenever I pick him up, he doesn't want to leave!
Thankyou for your lovely review. We are so glad you enjoy the setting!
My 11 month old son started here at the start of January and I couldn't recommend them enough. He has never shed a tear when I drop him off! They always send snapshot photos of him throughout his sessions and he's always smiling! The staff are so friendly and it's such a lovely, warm environment!
Thank you for your lovely review. Creating bonds with the children is so important to us and we love to see their smiling faces when coming in in the morning.

We focus on languages throughout our everyday routine, making sure we sign please and thank you at meal times and support children who have English as an additional language and it is lovely this is being noticed when your little one comes home.
