Review from C R (Mother of Child) published on 28 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

All the staff are so kind and attentive to the children. My daughter's time at nursery has been the making of her, she is more confident and social and this is all down to the support of the team. Each day they explore something new and I love hearing about it all at pick-up, we always get a great handover on top of the details on the app each day. The communication is excellent, we get daily updates on what she is up to and they always try to capture any key moments we might miss with photos and videos.

Review from Ben A (Father of Child) published on 27 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Happy with the nursery. My son has been going to the nursery. They have a lot of play areas inside and outside. You can check in the app if he eats, when they change the nappy, if he slept, and they send you photos of him playing keeping you updated about the kid. Staff look kind and care for the kids.

I fully recommend it to everyone who is looking nursery the their kids.

Review from Michelle H (Mother of Child) published on 14 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Great nursery. The staff are lovely and easy to talk to. Very supportive in helping my daughter settle in and the communication was great. Regularly sending me photos to keep me updated on how she was doing reassuring me that she was doing well and adjusting. Couldn't have asked for a better start for my daughter. She loves being there and playing with the other children and all the activities, storytime and music. They give me an update every time I go to pick her up and let me know what she's been up to.

Reply from Manager Riverside, Saskia Powell at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Riverside

Thank you for your lovely review. We understand how important the settling process is and want to make sure you feel at ease bringing your little ones to nursery too. We make it part of our routine to send each family lovely pictures and give informative handovers at the end of each day and we are so glad this makes a positive impact!

Happy with the nursery. My son has been going for the last 4 months to the nursery. They have a lot of play areas inside and outside. You can check in the app if he eats, when they changed the nappy, if he slept and photos of him playing. Staff look kind and care for the kids.

Review from S T (Mother of Child) published on 14 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending nursery since September, she didn't know anything in English, but after that, she started speaking different words. Now she likes at nursery, feels loved, and gets lots of hugs. They do different activities that we didn't have time for at home, but she can also socialise with other children.

Reply from Manager Riverside, Saskia Powell at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Riverside

Thank you for your review! We always are happy to support children with English as a second language and our staff will learn words in different languages to support the children. We love all types of activities and always focus them around the children's interests and needs.

Review from Luciano R (Father of Child) published on 14 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The team at Monkey Puzzle have been absolutely amazing with our daughter. Although they have lots of children attending they never make her feel left out or forgotten, they also keep us updated regularly and sent us a video of when she took her first (unassisted) steps so we didn't miss anything.

I cannot recommend Monkey Puzzle Riverside highly enough, they are all so friendly and professional.

Reply from Manager Riverside, Saskia Powell at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Riverside

Thank you so much for this lovely review. We take great care in looking after the little ones in our setting and love being a part of their journey. Seeing them grow and reach milestones makes us so proud and we love having the relationships we do with our parents to share this and create the home-from-home environment we have.

Review from Elisa P (Mother of Child) published on 2 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Currently on week two of my son being at Monkey Puzzle.
This was the first nursery I went to look at and everything they said they do and how they work sat well with me and I left feeling excited for his new journey. I went to see one other nursery which came nowhere near close and honestly would of put me off nurseries altogether If I'd gone there first. Didn't bother looking at any others as my gut said Monkey Puzzle.
It's clean everything's new. The staff are very friendly and are on point with communication which has helped me so much as this is my first child. The different stuff they do with them melts my heart such cute lovely ideas they have to do with them.
My boy just seems to be loving life there and settled in so fast.

Would highly recommend.

Overall Experience
My boys will be attending this nursery starting in September, they've just had their settling-in sessions.
From the first viewing, I knew they would love going here, all the staff are so friendly and welcoming, communication is amazing and also a great location. Everything they have to offer is what I wanted in a nursery.

They enjoyed it so much they didn't want to leave on their first session and all they spoke about in the car on the way home was when they got to go again.

Overall Experience

Nursery is fantastic everything is new and clean! Staff are helpful, caring and greet everyone with big smiles. Also staff have been very, very supportive and they took the time with my daughter to settle in. The communication with parents about your child is brilliant. I feel comfortable and well-informed. Would highly recommend anyone to send their child here.

Overall Experience

I enrolled my 11-month-old daughter in this nursery at the end of April, and she started to settle in. During the settling-in time, we had a lot of support from the staff on how to proceed with a gentle settling process. Everything is new, the rooms are modern and adapted to every age group. I am very happy to have found a clean nursery with friendly staff.
