My daughter started in the babies room in August, she had just turned 10 months old and I was understandably anxious about her being away from me for the first time - however Monkey Puzzle Lightwater made the transition so easy and stress free. They offered my daughter a gradual settling in process to build up her confidence. She's been there a while now and absolutely loves it. The staff are friendly, warm and attentive to the little ones needs. They're also absolutely brilliant at setting up activities and crafts to keep the babies stimulated. The forest school is also fantastic and the original reason we chose this nursery - they prioritise time outside which is fantastic. The Management team Scott and Becca reply to any queries very quickly and are always very happy to help. The babies room staff - Courtney and her team are just wonderful with the babies. Honestly, love this nursery and feel very happy with our decision.

My daughter and I absolutely love Monkey Puzzle Lightwater! The team are so dedicated and adoring of the children. The set up is beautiful and the vast range of activities is amazing! I could not recommend anywhere as much as here!

Could not be happier with Monkey Puzzle Lightwater! Despite delays in opening, the team worked tirelessly to get an amazing nursery in place. My two boys have been attending for about 3 months now and absolutely love it! They are so happy and settled there, all the staff give 110% and always ensure my boys are looked after so well. Lovely updates are always provided on the app too with great pictures so I can see all the fun they are getting up to. As well as the amazing activities they arrange in house, they often go out on field trips which they love. The forest school has recently started too which is a great concept! Couldn't be happier with this nursery, would thoroughly recommend!

My nephew loves coming here! The staff are warm, caring, and really take the time to make each child feel special. He's grown so much in confidence and skills since joining, couldn't recommend enough!

Our little one absolutely LOVES Monkey Puzzle Lightwater!! And we as parents are super impressed as well. The staff are friendly, helpful, knowledgable, proactive and kind - and most importantly they are brilliant with our child. From Forest School to animal handling workshops, there are plenty of activities and events. The nursery & all staff have gone above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The lovely updates we receive on the app are extensive and with such cute photos. I feel that the nursery is part of the wider community, and that the nursery is a community in itself. We are really pleased to have found a nursery where we are more than happy to send our new little baby as well. The nursery itself has excellent facilities too, in particular the garden, mud kitchen and maze. It's a great space, designed well. I genuinely feel so happy and such a sense of relief to know our children are being well looked after. Thank you so much to the MP Lightwater team, you're fantastic!

Our experience at Monkey Puzzle Lightwater has been nothing short of incredible, and we couldn't be happier. After moving from a previous nursery where we felt let down by the level of care, Monkey Puzzle has truly gone above and beyond. Our son is engaged and stimulated every day, cared for with exceptional attention, and always leaves with a smile. The activities are creative, varied, and thoughtfully planned to ensure each day feels exciting and different. We are so grateful to the amazing team for making his nursery experience so happy and fulfilling.

MP Lightwater took a while to open but definitely was it worth the wait! My daughter is in the Tweenies class and it took her about 5 or 6 weeks to properly settle in. Her teachers worked tirelessly to ensure that she had fun, encouraging her to come out of her shell and coax her to eat (which I know takes patience!) Now, she could not be happier there. She is always happy to go give her teacher a cuddle when I drop her off and now when I pick her up, she no longer runs over to me shouting 'mama' and just wants to keep playing - it takes a bit of persuading to get her to come home (bit of a kick in the gut if I'm honest but it's a good thing!) MP staff are friendly, engaging and would do anything to ensure your child is happy and learning . A nursery has just opened down the road from us but we are leaving our child at monkey puzzle because we like them so much.

We are so happy with money puzzle lightwater. The staff really care about the children. Everytime I drop him off it feels as though I am bringing him to his second home. The welcome he gets when he walks in the door is heartwarming. They update the app regularly so I know what he is getting up to every day. They regularly take the kids to the park which I absolutely love. We are very happy there and would 100% recommend.

We've had a wonderful experience with this nursery. The staff are absolutely lovely - so welcoming and supportive, making the transition into nursery life smooth for both our child and us as parents. Each day is filled with fun and engaging activities that our little one really enjoys, and it's been amazing to see their development and growing confidence. We also really appreciate the regular updates and communication from the team, which help us feel involved and reassured throughout the day. Highly recommend to any parents looking for a nurturing and well-organised environment for their child.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Monkey Puzzle Lightwater so far. The warmth, patience, and professionalism the staff show each day has made all the difference- not just for our child, but for us as parents too. Even though the nursery has just opened, everything is already running so smoothly-it feels like they've been doing this for years! Our child settled in surprisingly quickly, which speaks volumes about the nurturing environment and the thoughtful approach of the staff. That reassurance, especially when they are too young to tell you about their day, is priceless. The nursery itself is bright and clean, with a lovely outdoor space that the children use regularly. We receive regular updates and photos, which help us feel connected and confident that our child is in the best possible hands. We're so glad we chose MPL. It's comforting to know our little one is not only safe but genuinely cared for and engaged each day. We can't recommend it highly enough!

We are very happy with the care our child receives at Monkey puzzle lightwater nursery. The staff are truly amazing - warm, friendly, and always welcoming. They provide a safe, nurturing environment where children are encouraged to grow and thrive. What stands out most is how understanding and attentive they are to each child's individual needs. We couldn't ask for better care, and we feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful place.

We've had a truly wonderful experience with Monkey Puzzle nursery Lightwater. It all started with 2 staff members who introduced us to Monkey Puzzle Lightwater. One we have know for years as he cared for our older son and is incredible in what he does. When we knew he was at the nursery we were sure the place would be great. From the very beginning, the manager has been incredibly understanding, consistently going above and beyond to support both our child and our family. He genuinely cares & is always very quick with his responses, approachable making us feel heard & cared. The staff are amazing-warm, attentive and clearly passionate about their work. Our child feels happy and we feel safe and amazing about the nurturing environment the manager and his team have created. We are consistently impressed with how creative the activities are. There's always something new and engaging going on. We feel incredibly lucky to have found this nursery and highly recommend it.

First time mum, I was quite anxious about putting my little one in nursery. After visiting another setting I was even more anxious. Then I visited Monkey Puzzle in Lightwater. I was greeted by the manager and two other staff members who showed us around. I immediately felt comfortable, my little one loved seeing all the toys and went to play straight away. Communication with the management team was great and efficient and soon enough we were enrolled. Fast forward to the Easter event where we got to meet most of the staff before even starting: it was brilliant! The staff felt very confident and comfortable in the space, they interacted with the little ones in such a warm and friendly way that all my anxiety evaporated for good. Then settling sessions happened and it all went so well, it felt like it was meant to be. Now my little one gets so excited on the days he goes to nursery, and communication with the whole team is so great. I would definitely recommend the setting!
