Manpreet P (Mother of Child)
Monkey Puzzle has cared for our daughter since she was 8 months old, and we’ve watched her grow into a confident little girl ready for primary school. The director, owner and team have been warm, supportive and professional throughout. We’re so grateful and would recommend this nursery.
Kimberley P (Mother of Child)
My son started in the Starfish room at 7 months and has just moved up at 18 months. His key worker has stayed the same and knows him so well. The whole team are kind, supportive and approachable. I feel very lucky he has such a wonderful place to grow.
N B (Mother of Child)
My daughter started at Monkey Puzzle when she was just 6 months old and has always been happy to go in. She is now a confident 20-month-old, and we can really see the difference. The team are so caring and welcoming. Thank you for your fantastic care and support.
Amina S (Mother of Child)
After a bad experience elsewhere, we were nervous about starting nursery again. As someone working in education, I had high expectations, and Monkey Puzzle has exceeded them. Staff really know the children, plan around their interests and support each individual.
Georgios M (Father of Child)
This nursery has been fantastic for our little boy. The staff are incredibly caring and professional, and he settled in very quickly. He enjoys a great variety of food, snacks and extra activities, including music sessions. We’re very pleased with the care he receives and happily recommend
S H (Mother of Child)
Our daughter joined Monkey Puzzle when we moved to the area and has been there almost a year. She settled quickly thanks to the welcoming, reassuring staff. She has made lovely friends and strong bonds with her carers. We’ll be genuinely sad to leave when she starts school.
A Day In Our Nursery
Healthy Eating
As children grow, a healthy and balanced diet is key, and we inspire with a variety of colour, texture, and taste to expand their food experiences.
Seasonal and local produce are also important in helping children understand more about where food comes from and nutrition.
