We've had a wonderful experience at Monkey Puzzle. From the very beginning, the staff has been warm, caring, and attentive to our child's needs. The environment is safe, clean, and full of engaging activities that support learning through play.

Choosing a nursery is never an easy task! I was very apprehensive about sending my daughter off for the first time. I had looked at many nurseries in the area and Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery West Norwood stood out high amongst the rest. The staff and nursery director always show a very high level of
knowledge and care towards my daughter and other children. Their daily programs and activities go above and beyond the basics that you would expect and so many important life skills are taught to the children through play and various activities throughout each day. We had many concerns during this Covid-19 phase, however the nursery director and her team were continually on hand to reassure us and have manged this whole process smoothly, with minimal disruption to the children and continue to do so. I highly recommend this nursery.

Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery West Norwood has a fantastic and dedicated team, they clearly consider what our little one is interested in and how to help him develop and play across all areas. He's got loads better with eating more foods and they do cooking with them. His reading has come on. They also
do loads of other stuff like yoga and dance. Drop off is fine and we get lovely little smiles when he spots his new friends! There is a lovely mini-lending library. I've found them helpful with any questions, even if my questions seem a bit silly sometimes. We're getting on top of toilet training now and they have been so helpful there too.

My son has flourished since his time at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery West Norwood. He is visibly a more confident child and looks forward to going each day. The on-site facilities are brilliant and management and staff are caring and always their best to deal with any queries. I have been particularly
impressed with the steps put in place for the management of Covid-19 to ensure children, staff and parents are kept safe. If you are looking for a nursery place, I cannot recommend the owners and their team enough!

I love this place! The staff, environment, activities, everything is faultless.
It’s a big open plan space.
Always clean and feels safe.
Staff who are engaged, kind and warm.
Lots of activities like Spanish lessons etc.
Brilliant food menu - healthy, organic and homemade.
A manager who
really cares.

My daughter absolutely loves it here. Food is amazingly healthy and great, children are being given a variety of organics and homemade food. The nursery accommodates children with special dietary requirements. In addition to their five-star meals, children have access to a climbing wall, get extra
activities. i.e. yoga and Spanish lessons. There is a warm atmosphere, staff are AMAZING, WELCOMING, DEDICATED. They help parents who are in a hurry to get to work (basically do your drop-offs and pick-ups, they do the rest for you). Children learn through play, each Wednesday they are allowed to bring something in from home and talk about it. Parents can track the menu of the day and how much your child ate throughout the day in addition to their daily/weekly activities. The director is a lovely, dedicated mother who has a high standard in children’s early development. The preschool staff members are wonderful. I highly recommend this nursery.

As a working parent with a child, care for my child is of the highest importance to me. Finding a suitable nursery in SE area was a long search until I have visited the newly open Monkey Days Nursery, West Norwood. The staff are polite, informative about my child's daily activities. The nursery is
colourful and very child-friendly, the set up is excellent for a child development at first hand and now it more apparent. This is demonstrated through my child's development since attending this nursery.

We have chosen to send our daughter to Monkey Puzzle West Norwood as it clearly has the right ethos and level of expertise at its core. We have been shocked by some nurseries we visited and were so relieved to find Monkey Puzzle West Norwood. The thoughtful design and planning, resources, care
plans, staff, outdoor space and more mean that we feel our daughter will get the very best of care and early years education.

Looked at loads of nurseries in the area and we both think this is by miles the best for our son. We really like the space - pretty amazing climbing wall painted like a jungle (never seen anything like this before!!). Very friendly staff, lots of experience.

Our 18-month-old daughter absolutely loves it here. The staff are super friendly and caring and the nursery itself is really impressive. We've never had any tears and our daughter can't wait to get there in the mornings! We'd looked at a few nurseries and had already started with a childminder when
we met the team. We knew instantly that this was the right place for us so finished with the childminder and got her a place... and we have absolutely no regrets at all. The organisation and level of care is terrific and it's wonderful to be able to go to work, knowing our child is properly cared for. Would definitely recommend.

Couldn’t recommend this nursery highly enough. My children have attended another highly rated local nursery but on a recommendation, I took them to visit and we all fell in love with the place.
The staff are warm, welcoming and full of fun and the facilities are on a different level to our old
nursery. Being in an old fire station couldn’t be better as far as my son is concerned.
