Review from A S (Father of Child) published on 18 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started at this nursery in late January and we are delighted with her progress and the care she is receiving. We are highly impressed with the manager Claire and the whole team, who are very engaging with both the children and parents! The facilities are also second to none - we have not
seen anything like it in all our nursery tours. Our daughter loves to be active and really enjoys the space and all the activities the team put on. Most of all, we know our daughter is in safe hands and every day she leaves and comes back home with a big smile on her face.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Amazing setting! Great new facilities which also include a nice parent area, a soft play room for children and a spacious outdoor area. The nursery is very well equipped, including lots of good quality toys. The nursery staff is very welcoming, attentive and caring. And what I also like is that the
staff is very approachable and any questions/concerns can be communicated via a nursery App and get promptly answered/resolved.
My little one enjoys his time at the nursery. I cannot recommend it enough other than saying I would not want anything else for my child.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having my grandson begin his journey in a nursery setting was quite worrying, however after looking at MP Kingston these worries were pushed aside. The setting is beautiful inside and out, plenty of space to explore, learn and achieve. Activities are full of fun and laughter, as well as educational.
My grandson loves nursery and the bonds with his friends and staff are amazing. It's clear to see that Vjollca and her team are passionate in all the do for the children in their care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend MP Kingston

We couldn't be happier with this nursery. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children's wellbeing and development. The facilities are fantastic-clean, safe, and thoughtfully set up to encourage learning and play. It's clear how much pride the team takes in what
they do, and it really shows. We have complete peace of mind knowing our child is happy and well cared for here. Highly recommend to any parent looking for an exceptional nursery.

Review from Arlinda A (Mother of Child) published on 15 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a mum, choosing the right nursery for my child was such an important and emotional decision - and I can honestly say that Monkey Puzzle Kingston has exceeded every expectation. From the very first day, the staff have been so kind, patient, and genuinely caring. They take the time to get to know each
child as an individual, which made my little one feel comfortable and confident right away. The activities are creative, educational, and so much fun; I'm amazed at how much my little girl has developed socially and emotionally since starting.

Review from Aleksandra Z (Mother of Child) published on 7 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After visiting many nurseries in Kingston, MP Kingston stands out completely. The brand new premises are amazing - they have their own kitchen where kids cook (my son loves telling us about the food that they cooked together), soft play room, and wonderful outdoor space with sandpit and outdoor kitchen.
What
sets this nursery apart is the nurturing environment they've created. Every day is filled with creative activities - drawing, arts and crafts, cooking workshops. The resources and toys are thoughtfully chosen to support children's development, and you can see how naturally the children engage with different activities throughout the day. I spent two entire days there and could evidence that myself.
The teachers strike the perfect balance of being warm and caring while maintaining excellent professional standards.
The owner's passion is evident in every detail. From the outstanding facilities to the way she approaches any concerns with complete dedication to finding solutions.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I couldn't be happier with this nursery! The staff are incredibly caring, patient, and attentive - they treat every child as if they were their own. The facilities are clean, safe, and beautifully designed to create a warm, nurturing environment. I love how much thought goes into the activities, which
are not only fun but also help the little ones learn and grow every day.
Communication with parents is excellent; I always feel informed and reassured about my child's progress and wellbeing. Most importantly, my baby is genuinely happy here, and I can see the positive impact it has had on their development and confidence.
This nursery truly goes above and beyond in every way, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and stimulating place for their child. Many thanks for the owner of this beautiful nursery!!

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.007)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.007) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Kingston 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 8 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 5.000 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Kingston is calculated as follows: ( (96 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 5
  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 4.007 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Kingston is based on 8 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.65
    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 112 number of registered child places is 22.4. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.4 = 0.357
  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.
