My son has been attending Monkey Puzzle Loughton for 6 months now, and I am extremely happy with the care he has received and the management of the nursery on a whole. He started in the baby room and has recently moved up to Tweenies. During this room transition, the communication was great as I was
kept informed at all stages. The staff members are caring and attentive and I always feel comfortable at drop off and pick up times. But most importantly, my son is happy and settled here. I would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Loughton.

The staff at MP are exceptional - management are proactive, communication is fantastic and the care our son has had since he joined reaches the near impossible bar I had set for childcare if it couldn't be me looking after him every day. I trust them completely and know he's the better for being
there.
He joined MP in Loughton just before his 1st birthday and has been there for over a year now. He's been in Babies, Tweenies and now the Toddler class.
In each room, they've catered so well for every need - fun, food, learning, cuddles, safeguarding etc and have considered his routines and preferences.
There seems to be the right balance of activities in a day (lots!) and our son is clearly learning so much, not only from the activities but from socialising with other toddlers. His favourite thing is to be outdoors which is a common occurrence at MP so we have a very happy boy. We get lots of photos and updates throughout the day which means v happy parents.

I feel incredibly lucky to have found this nursery, as both of my children have attended, and my experience over several years has been consistently outstanding. The staff are the true heart of the nursery. The manager Katherine is very dedicated to her job. My children built strong, trusting
relationships with their key workers, who took the time to understand their individual personalities, interests, and needs. Communication has always been excellent.
The level of care is exceptional. The nursery strikes a wonderful balance between nurturing emotional development and encouraging independence. The facilities are excellent - both indoor and outdoor. I would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any family looking for a caring, professional, and enriching environment for their child.

My son has attended Monkey Puzzle for almost 2 years now and we are really pleased with it. He has made some lovely friends and he learns so much there.
He is also a picky eater at home but at nursery he eats all his food which is a relief for me!
They have lots of outdoor time in the garden
which is great as well.

My daughter has attended the nursery for 1.5 years and has had a great experience. The team are fantastic with her and she has made some really lovely bonds with the team members.
The nursery provides so many fun activities inside and outside each day which has really helped her growth and
development. I'm
also kept constantly updated on the daily activities via pictures and stories on the app.
I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe and fun environment for their child.

I have been sending my son to Monkey Puzzle in Loughton since he was 1.
He absolutely loves nursery and all the staff. He has learnt so much and continues to do so until he goes to school.
Staff have been quick to deal with any issues that have arose over the years and will always relay messages
etc. The manager is also always very helpful with forms that need completing or anything else i have needed help with etc.
I am very happy with the nursery as a whole!

My son has been at Monkey Puzzle Loughton since toddlers and is now about to start school this September. The staff have been amazing - so caring, patient and consistent throughout his journey here.
The nursery app has been such a comfort, letting me know how he's getting on each day, and the
observations have been so lovely to read, showing me how he's growing in his learning, confidence and independence.
Over his time here, I've watched him blossom into a happy, curious little boy who is heading off to school with real excitement and a love of learning. He's always asking questions, trying new things and so proud of himself when he achieves something.
I couldn't be happier with the love, care and support he's received. I know he will really miss his wonderful teachers and all the friends he's made here.

We have been really happy with Monkey Puzzle, our daughter joined in August 2024 when she had just turned one and the team have been so wonderful in ensuring she has a lovely experience and that we as parents are kept up to date.
The team really care about each child and my daughter loves going.
Before sending her I was so nervous to leave her (as I'm sure most mums feel!) but I don't worry at all now, I know she's having a fab time.

Our son started in October 2024 and we've had an excellent experience. Our son now runs into the room and we love all the updates of his development on the app.
The educational activities, nap, food, and nutrition updates are great and I really appreciate all the key workers taking a lot of pride
in their work and the development of the children.
Very well-run nursery. Thank you!
