We couldn't be happier with our experience at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Stoke Newington. Our son, Zakai, attends the nursery and has special sensory needs, and the care, patience, and understanding he receives from all the staff and management is truly outstanding. From day one, the team has gone
above and beyond to support him, ensuring he feels safe, comfortable, and included. Their genuine compassion and dedication shine through in everything they do, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing he is in such loving and capable hands. The progress Zakai has made is a testament to the nurturing environment they create. We are incredibly grateful for the kindness, encouragement, and love they show our son every single day. Thank you, Monkey Puzzle Stoke Newington, for making such a positive difference in our family's life - we wholeheartedly recommend you to any parent looking for exceptional childcare.

We are so happy with Monkey Puzzle Stoke Newington. Our daughter has attended for a year now, starting around her first birthday. She is really happy there and is learning so much. Her day is packed with fun activities - arts and crafts, baking, playing in the garden, as well as yoga lessons and
learning Spanish through song. They have great indoor and outdoor space in the nursery itself, and also do regular weekly trips to the library and local parks. Most importantly, the staff are incredibly kind and caring and show genuine interest and excitement when the children hit developmental milestones (big and small). There is a real sense of community and family spirit and this also seems to foster sweet caring relationships among the toddlers too. Cayden and her team have done a really excellent job at creating a safe and happy place in which the children can thrive. Thank you!

What a wonderful nursery. My daughter has been attending for two years and she loves it. The staff are all fantastic - from management to the teachers. The standard of education is excellent - my daughter learns Spanish through singing lessons, have a weekly PE lesson, and can count in two languages
and is learning to read and write. The menu is really fab - exciting and varied and healthy. The grounds are great and expanding with good outdoor space (but they regularly go on excursions to the local parks and libraries.) I am so glad we chose Monkey Puzzle - I would recommend it unreservedly to anyone.

My son is 15 months and loves going to nursery and you can tell because when he arrives he takes off his jacket and goes to the breakfast table to sit with his friends. He learns so many new things at nursery and I love seeing him implement them when he's with me. The staff is great I love having my
little chats with them.

This nursery ticked all of my boxes - The children spend time outdoors, do lots of activities daily and enjoy learning phonics as well as early maths skills. Planned activities are well considered and thoughtful - staff have a real knack for making learning fun for the children. Most importantly,
the staff genuinely care for the children's emotional wellbeing and there's a strong 'family vibe'. If you're looking for a nursery, this is a great 'all rounder'.

Brilliant nursery, really wonderful and caring staff! The nusery is very well organised, clean and has a lovely atmosphere. Our son had a wonderful expereince, we always felt very much involved and happy that he was being looked after very well- we can't recommend enough. Thank you guys.

My son is coming to the end of his tenure at Monkey Puzzle and we can't speak highly enough of our overall experience and the positive impact it's had on all parts of our son's development.
Full credit to the manager and her team who have really developed the overall learning experience adding
forest days, music sessions and sports.

Our preschooler really enjoyed his time at Monkey Puzzle. He first started in the baby room, which is bright and airy. The staff are lovely and very caring. Our son is always excited to go in and doesn't want to leave at the end of the day.
Communication with the team is also very easy and we
always get prompt replies. Lastly, we enjoy checking the app and seeing all the pictures at the end of the day (also great for tracking what they eat, potty time, and nap time).
Thank you so much for taking such great care of our son, and we are looking forward to sending our new baby next year.

During the settling-in, we had a very bad experience! The place was empty, just a few pieces of furniture and some staff members didn't seem very familiar with babies. They were not paying much attention as there were a few going up and down some steps in the baby room. It all felt a bit improvised
and nothing like the established nursery we had seen a few months before under the previous management. Besides, nobody had the decency to inform us of the change of ownership/management when it happened, expecting parents to leave their babies to the care of complete strangers, never seen before! Transparency and honesty are key in a nursery, even in a city like London! If I could I would give 0 stars, in all honesty.

I am really pleased with the nursery, my daughter is always very happy to go and play with other children. They organise a lot of activities and take them out very often which I think it's really important.

Our daughter has been at Monkey Puzzle Stoke Newington since February 2024 and it has been a great experience for us. She took a few weeks to settle in (which is normal) but since then she’s been thriving at nursery. They do so many great activities with the babies: messy play, painting, water and
texture play, singing, reading books and usually a trip out to the local park or gardens if the weather allows. The new manager has introduced some wonderful activities like Spanish music lessons, a lady that plays guitar, watching ducklings hatch and grow, trips to the library and even to the theatre. The staff are lovely and we know really take care of our daughter. The nursery has also been really flexible with additional ad-hoc which has been so helpful for us, as we have no family nearby so rely on, the nursery to take her if we need to work unexpectedly. It’s lovely to know our daughter enjoys nursery and it’s been fantastic for her development.

I have two kids at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Stoke Newington and have been super happy with the care so far. They do lots of messy play and outdoor activities with them daily. Both kids really enjoy being there and the staff are brilliant.

Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Stoke Newington is a lovely nursery. My son started more than two years ago. He is currently in preschool and is very happy there, looking forward to seeing his friends as well as the members of the staff every morning.
The team at Monkey Puzzle Stoke Newington is what
stands out the most. They are taking extra care of the kids, taking into consideration their personal characteristics. The kids learn a lot in the nursery - not only the usual stuff but also how to behave to each other in a nice way. The manager is capable of solving literally every problem and is very easy to communicate with.
The only thing that could be a tad better is the activities - the bigger kids could have some regular musical activity or forest school etc. (there is just one PE type of activity at the moment). A proper garden would be nice too, however, the kids go to the local parks often so it isn’t a big issue.

Our daughter has been at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Stoke Newington for almost a year now and is very happy there. The staff are really good with her and clearly care for her. They do lots of fun activities and outside trips, plus send lots of good updates via the app. Having visited a few other
nurseries, this one always felt like the one where the kids were the happiest. Highly recommended.

We love Monkey Puzzle with all our hearts. The manager and her team are phenomenal, their patience, care and positivity are wonderful, and their organisation and consistency are impressive. Our two boys have benefited greatly from Monkey Puzzle Stoke Newington and love/loved it. Our third has just
started, and we feel extremely fortunate to have found MP.

Our daughter has been attending the baby room at Monkey Puzzle Stoke Newington for a few months now and we are incredibly impressed with the level of care provided by all the staff members, management team and especially the owner who really understands the needs of working parents, giving us peace
of mind knowing our baby is being wonderfully looked after while we are at work. Highly recommend it!

Monkey Puzzle is a great nursery with lovely staff and great activities for the children. Whilst the baby room is a little tired, the food is great, there is plenty to do and my daughter loves it. The team are really flexible and happy to help however they can. We love getting the daily photos too,
it’s a great way for the family to keep up with all the antics!

Fantastic experience with Monkey Puzzle Stoke Newington. Staff have been brilliant, so caring and genuine. Chef is top notch, she does a great job. Management are super. Very responsive and involved with the running of the room. Our child is in baby room. The space is lovely. They go outside on the
balcony a lot and go out to the park regularly. Lots of lovely activities like yoga and language classes. Highly recommend.

My son loves the Monkey Puzzle, and he can't wait to get back when we are away! He has learnt so much and made friends with other children and the nursery staff. The management are welcoming and flexible, all the staff are super-patient and loving towards the kids. I would definitely recommend it to
anyone in the area!
