In recent months, Monkey Puzzle has truly gone above and beyond for the children who attend. There's so much meaningful interaction with the real world, which my daughter absolutely loves. Throughout the day, I'm kept fully updated on the app, with every detail shared and a thorough review of how each child is developing and growing. What stands out most to me is how MP nurtures independence, caring, and kindness, while encouraging children to use their own voice. That emphasis has made a real impact at home, and as a family, we've noticed how much it's shaped our daughter's confidence and expression.

Excellent nursery! All the staff are really kind and helpful. My child is very happy after coming to nursery. Their food quality is excellent. My child learned lots of things from here. It is the best nursery I've ever seen.

Monkey puzzle has been amazing for our 11 month old. The caregivers are gentle, attentive to every detail and have been very patient with our son. Our child comes home happy and playful which has made us feel completely at ease. Our child gets to explore through many music time, sensory play and outdoor activities. Its amazing to see how much he enjoys and learn through play. I love the daily and weekly updates on the app. Huge shoutout to the babies room staff and i would highly recommend Monkey puzzle to any family looking for quality care.

We couldn't be happier with the service provided to our two sons who attend Monkey Puzzle High Wycombe. The stimulation and variety of activities the children do is varied and most appreciated. It's so nice to see the smile on the nursery staff's faces when they see the children arrive, just as big as the smile on the children's faces when they get to spend the day at MP. The key workers deserve a special shout-out for the feedback we get from them on our child's development. Our youngest bond with his key worker is special, especially when he was anxious starting MP. His confidence has really grown. For our oldest his wide ranging vocabulary is so impressive and thanks to the tasks the staff do with him. Thanks so much to all of you.

My son has been attending Monkey Puzzle High Wycombe for nearly a year and I couldn't be more pleased with his experience there. I love the weekly updates of what they get up to as well as specific updates about him from his key worker. I have loved attending the stay and play sessions that are run periodically throughout the year for special events (e.g. Mother's Day). I also appreciate the proactiveness from the management to seek feedback and new things to implement. I look forward to seeing the continued growth my son will experience as the years go by!

Monkey Puzzle has been a kind and welcoming space for all three of my children, adapting seamlessly to their different needs and providing a setting they were happy to go to each morning. Great staff and brilliant location in easy access of the Rye and town centre.

The nursery at High Wycombe has been very good. Both our 4 and 5 year olds attended for many years. The staff are good with the children and the activities and food options available are very good. Both our daughters have enjoyed their time at Monkey Puzzle. The hours provided are also very good. From 0730 to 1830. Overall we would recommend this nursery to anyone in the area looking for such services. Thank you all for looking after our daughters over the years, and best wishes for the future.

From day one, the team made us feel welcomed and reassured. Our son absolutely loved going in each morning always excited to see his best friend, explore new activities, and be greeted with the kindest smiles. He attended Monkey Puzzle for 15 months, two days a week, It's been a joy watching him grow in confidence, communication, and independence thanks to the nurturing environment provided. The staff treat all the children with equal care and attention - there's such a warm, inclusive atmosphere that genuinely celebrates each child for who they are. As parents, that means everything. Thank you to the entire team for the brilliant job you do and for a lovely Graduation afternoon. We will always have fond memories of Monkey Puzzle and wish you continued success as you help many more little ones thrive.

Monkey Puzzle High Wycombe is hands down the best of the best. They have great staff, who are all dedicated to their jobs, they are always there for any support that you might need. When I first viewed the nursery, I knew that it was the one that I wanted my child enrolled at. They do countless amounts of activities, implementing the EYFS framework. My child always comes home telling me everything that the class does each day. The meals that the chefs make are always healthy, appropriate and appetising. The nursery have been a very big help and support to me and my child and I will forever be thankful and grateful for all the staff that have taught my child. I would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle High Wycombe to anyone searching for a nursery for their children.

We moved our children to Monkey Puzzle following a bad experience with another big name provider. 3 weeks in and we know we have made the best decision! Our boys seem so much happier and are greeted every morning with a smile and a warm welcome. In three weeks our eldest has come on leaps and bounds, leaving nursery singing songs he's learned and telling me about all the fun he's had. "The lady played with me" he'd say which as a parent is so relieving to hear! No activity is too much for the staff. From sensory games, educational games and Trips out of the nursery. Cooking with the chef is a real hit and the outdoor space is fantastic! The staff even get our 11 month old involved in all the fun! The app is so helpful with staying updated throughout the day and the weekly updates with pictures is a real special touch. You get what you pay for with this nursery for sure!

Choosing where to send your child is the most important decision for their early years development. I chose Monkey Puzzle in 2020 for my first child you thrived at the nursery and was cared for and taught so well by staff. It was then an easy choice to send my second child to the same nurturing environment. My little one is doing so well there, they have mornings out at the park as well as walking into town to visit the library and shops to buy ingredients for their cooking creations. All brilliant foundation skills to have and access to new experiences. The nursery is clean and always feels welcoming, the staff are approachable and are brilliant when helping out with new changes such as potty training. Overall, this is a nursery I feel confident sending my children to.

We have been a part of the Monkey Puzzle HW family since 2022 with both our boys attending from 9m/1yo. I can say wholeheartedly that choosing this nursery was one of the best decisions we have made. The staff are exceptional - they are loving, caring and really do foster such a welcoming environment for the children (and parents!). The communication from staff & management is next to none - it feels like a family here. Our eldest graduates in the Summer, we will be so sad to see him move on from here but I know Monkey Puzzle have set him up for what lies ahead at big school! I would recommend Monkey Puzzle to anyone, my boys run in with a smile which is the greatest review you could have!

My son is really happy at the nursery, has made lovely friends and big leaps in his development. We always feel he is in safe hands & are sending our second child to the same nursery. The staff are kind, and the environment is clean and organised.

Hi! I am very happy with the Monkey Puzzle nursery, my son is also very happy to be there. The teachers are very nice and patient. They have a lot of activities and I'm excited they go even outside the nursery for activities ( market , park ) . My child was not an English speaker, but he did very well and learned English quite quickly, again thanks to the patience of the teachers.

We sent both our children to Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery and our time with them has spanned nine years, ending in August 2024. I can wholeheartedly recommend this nursery team to be kind, caring, passionate about what they do, engaging with parents, great communicators (they have an app which is updated daily with activity photos, and a log of your child's progress). If ever we've had any questions, the manager and the team have been really responsive and worked with us. It's more than just a team, it's a family, and as a parent and child, you too are welcomed into that family. I feel like they have been such a huge part of our lives for almost a decade, and we have all been through a lot in that time. We will be forever grateful that we chose Monkey Puzzle to care for our children in their earliest years.

My son joined Monkey Puzzle in 2021 and has just started school this September. Our 18-month-old is currently attending. Our experience has been wholly positive. The staff in all rooms show great care and compassion and the communication i.e. daily activity and learning updates and responding to messages on the app have all been fantastic. The Nursery Manager is friendly and approachable and is frequently at the door. Given the challenges all nurseries have experienced with staffing, the manager has done amazingly well to consistently provide a safe, compassionate and engaging day nursery environment. Other perks include being 5 min walking distance from the town centre and train station, a decent size and secure outdoor play area and good parking, and well-organised parent-child events throughout the year. We highly recommend Monkey Puzzle High Wycombe.

Lovely nursery with caring staff. My son joined the preschool class at 3 years old after attending another setting where he had been since he was 8 months old. We were anxious about how he would adjust to such a major change, but the staff were supportive and he settled in nicely. He enjoyed his time there with great activities and outings. Management are easy to reach and the nursery is conveniently located with parking for drop off and pick up. The nursery was recommended to us by a friend whose child already attended and I would recommend it too!
11 September 2023
My son has thoroughly enjoyed his three years at Monkey Puzzle High Wycombe. The staff are lovely and so caring with the children. The management have been under pressure recently in line with the sector as a whole but they have always put the needs of the children first. As a result, the nursery is a beautiful and welcoming space for the children where they can feel safe and free to grow and express themselves. The activities for the children are fun and engaging and my son especially loves all of the food prepared fresh on site. The facilities are good with plenty to keep little ones entertained and the children follow the early years curriculum with letters and number practice through different themes. The nursery have really prepared my son well for school too, and helped him grow into a happy, confident and independent little boy. I definitely recommend Monkey Puzzle High Wycombe.

Our daughter has been here since she was 7 months and is now in pre-school. She and we love it! The staff are excellent, especially the management team. They do great activities and there are lots of 1 on 1 care with the children. The chef is great and has definitely helped with introducing our daughter to new tastes. It is a really kind, caring and welcoming family! Can’t recommend it enough!
10 March 2021
From our very first visit to the nursery when choosing which one to send our son to, we knew Monkey Puzzle High Wycombe would provide a happy and safe environment for him. The team are enthusiastic, warm and caring and our son, having now attended for 14 months, absolutely loves his nursery family. The last year of Covid has presented so many additional challenges for the nursery, and they have taken it all in their stride and adapted magnificently. While the nursery was closed due to lockdown, they provided online sessions tailored to each age group and since reopening, we have every confidence in their Covid compliance and strict health and safety regime that has been put in place (in addition to all normal procedures in place for a nursery in normal times). The management team keep in touch regularly with parents with updates and regular Zoom sessions. We are so happy we chose Monkey Puzzle High Wycombe and look forward to seeing our son develop further there over the next few years.
