Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Monkey Puzzles are amazing with children and parents there is always communication throughout the day and is fab at easing any concerns I have overall this is honestly the best nursery for my child. They always seem happy to go into the nursery and always have a smile on their face and are always excited
to tell me everything they've learned.

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Review from Elisa P (Mother of Child) published on 2 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Review from B G (Mother of Child) published on 4 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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 5.0 out of 5
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.

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.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.978)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.978) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Riverside 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.978 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Riverside is calculated as follows: ( (363 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 371 Ratings = 4.978
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Riverside is based on 31 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 94 number of registered child places is 18.8, which has been reached with 31 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
