R B (Mother of Child)
Such a great nursery with an incredible team. They really take the time to know each child and understand their needs, and our son has learned so much in the past 11 months. We couldn’t be happier.
P C (Mother of Child)
My son has been here for a year and the care has been amazing. The staff are kind, supportive, and always keep us updated, which we truly appreciate. I highly recommend Monkey Puzzle.
Emma B (Mother of Child)
The staff are so friendly and genuinely care about the children. My son is encouraged every day through activities, outdoor time, and music sessions, and his development is always a focus. As a first-time mum, I felt so supported.
V L (Mother of Child)
The staff were incredible during my son’s settling-in period and kept me updated throughout the day. They’re attentive, responsive, and really give each child time and care. Now he loves nursery and leaves with a smile.
Tate S (Mother of Child)
My daughter has attended since she was 10 months old and her development and social skills have come on so much. The team keep me well informed through the day and she always looks like she’s having so much fun. Lovely, professional staff.
S B (Father of Child)
Our daughter has loved being part of this nursery community and we’ll all miss it as she starts reception. The staff and manager have been so supportive, and we’ve seen her grow in confidence and development. We’d highly recommend.
S G (Mother of Child)
Monkey Puzzle is a safe, welcoming nursery where the staff really care. The meals are nutritious, the activities are stimulating, and the hours work perfectly for working parents. Highly recommended.
Rayna P (Mother of Child)
Both our children have attended since 11 months old and we couldn’t be happier. It’s been amazing watching them grow in confidence, communication, and independence, thanks to such a supportive team. They especially love the creative and messy play.
