We have seen such a positive change since starting here. The team created a calm, nurturing environment where children feel safe and genuinely known. Staff are warm and attentive, encouraging independence with care, communication is clear, and the setting is thoughtful and well run. We are grateful
for the support shown each day.

My son has been going to Monkey Puzzle since he was 1 years old and has since progressed to the next year up , a transition that was gently done to ensure he settled well. I cannot commend the staff and management highly enough, from the activities , trips out and family events, the nursery has a
wonderful family feel and when deciding on a location for your child that's what you look for , "a home from home". There has been a lot of support for my child and guidance to promote independence and learning and he looks forward to going , running in on his own ready to start the day.

My child has been at Monkey Puzzle since 2024. When she first joined she was a shy little girl. Since she joined the nursery she has improved in her social skills massively. The staff have been amazing, caring, kind and very supportive all throughout her journey in MP. Now that she is leaving to
school (2025 Sep) she is all ready for school, developed well in her language etc. as the teachers were dedicated towards getting them ready for scgool. MP has got amazing resources, creative activities, healthy food patterns, and overall amazing experiences for the little ones.

My son has been to Monkey Puzzle for 6 months now. He is very happy and enjoying all the activities. The staff are very warm, caring and genuinely interested in children's development. The daily updates and photos are a lovely touch too. My son since he started at Monkey Puzzle is thriving.

Our four-year-old has just finished at Monkey Puzzle and we already miss it! It's a caring, well-run nursery with dedicated staff who genuinely care about the children. The owner is passionate, hands-on, and sets a warm, positive tone throughout. The setting is clean, well-organised, and
thoughtfully laid out to support different age groups and activities. Although the outdoor space is on the smaller side, the team makes up for it with regular outings - to local parks, the riverside, allotments, and even the pet shop, which our son loved. The daily updates via the parent app are excellent, with detailed observations and lovely photos that help you feel involved in your child's day. We saw real, lasting progress in our son's speech, confidence, and independence during his time there. The preschool room does a brilliant job preparing children for school, and we're so grateful to the whole team. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a warm, enriching environment.

Our 1 year old daughter is in Snuggle Pots and absolutely loves it. She is always happy and excited to go which gives us great peace of mind. The staff are incredibly kind, caring and attentive, creating a warm and a nurturing environment. Management is excellent, professional, supportive and always
approachable. We have seen such positive development in our daughters confidence and social skills since starting. Couldn't be happier with our experience - highly recommended!

It's a fantastic nursery. My daughter left last year after spending three happy years there. Now our son has one more year to go.
I was reminded why we feel so good about Monkey Puzzle Walton as our son is going through Potty Training. It's been tough (much more than it was for our daughter) but
the nursery has been incredibly supportive!! We've finally turned the corner and made some real progress but must commend them for their patience and support. We would have postponed doing it if they hadn't been so reassuring with their support. Our boy is thriving at Monkey Puzzle and we could wish for a more caring and nurturing environment for him.
Keep up the good work Monkey Puzzle.

We couldn't be happier with Monkey Puzzle. Both our 2 year old and 3 year old absolutely love going and we as parents feel incredibly reassured knowing they are in a safe, caring and nuturing environment. The staff are professional but genuinely kind and loving. They've taken the time to get to know
our children individually, supporting their unique personalities and their development. Their confidence, social skills and independence have soared.

We couldn't be happier with Monkey Puzzle. The staff are brilliant, and genuinely care for the children. We get daily feedback and photos which are so lovely to see. My son started at 11 months old and settled so quickly. He has been encouraged every step of the way with his walking and talking, and
I truly believe the wide range of activities on offer to the children has helped him so much.

We are extremely happy with Monkey Puzzle as a whole. Our daughter is thriving and loves coming here. The staff are friendly and accommodating to both her needs and my personal circumstances. The communication is fabulous. I walk away from nursery knowing that she is having fun with the staff who
have a genuine care for her development and well-being. Couldn't have asked for a better setting for my daughter.

My son has flourished at Monkey Puzzle. He started at 6 months and I was worried about him being so young but settled quickly with caring staff and now, over a year later, going from strength to strength. There is good provision and good communication and understanding staff with things that may be
going on at home. Would love to be able to afford to send him more days!

We absolutely loved sending our 2-year-old to this nursery. The staff were extremely competent. The managing team showed great interest and leadership. Wonderful events were hosted to include all the family. We were very sad to leave when we moved out of the area, and have not found another place
like it. Would definitely recommend joining. Thank you for making going back to work so easy. Many thanks.

I stroke luck when I found a free space at Monkey Puzzle for my little boy. Despite a complicated and sad private situation at home I always felt safe and at ease to see the excellent care being provided in this heaven. With joy, I witnessed his incredible development which I couldn't have been
without the support and guidance from the entire team at Monkey Puzzle in Walton-on-Thames. I truly recommend this nursery for the care, activities, love and celebration of different cultural events being provided to children.

My son loves being at Monkey Puzzle, I moved him from another nursery to this nursery in January and he settled in immediately. All the staff members are absolutely fantastic they are kind and patient and always keep you informed on their daily activities and I adore seeing the weekly picture
updates on what all the children have been up to. Nothing is ever too much trouble and the children’s needs and welfare are a priority, my heart is always settled when I leave my son there. I would highly recommend them to everyone.

Our son absolutely loves all the team at Monkey Puzzle. Nothing is ever a problem and they always go above and beyond to ensure the children are safe, happy and learning well. My son tells me often how he loves his teachers because they play with him. They really do give the best attention to my son
and make every day a special occasion.

Our son has settled into Monkey Puzzle, Walton-on-Thames beautifully. We were a little nervous about how he would get on as he had had very little interaction with other babies due to COVID, but he always has a smile on his face when we pick him up. We can tell his development has improved since he
joined. The team are friendly, welcoming and provide great updates and photos about how he is getting on. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone in the local area.

My little boy has been attending since September and I am so happy with everything they have done for him. Lockdown has been tough, especially with young children, but the staff have been really amazing and I never have a moments of worry about how he is getting on there. He’s always happy going in
in the morning and when I pick him up I can tell he has had a great day the app they use is really helpful if I want to see how he’s been eating/sleeping, although the staff fill me in at pick up anyway!
