While the manager herself was very kind and approachable, she always seemed overwhelmed, and in my view this affected communication both with parents and within the room.\n\nI also had concerns about staff training and professionalism. Several interactions made me question whether all staff were fully equipped to handle the needs of very young babies.\n\nConcerning Behaviour Toward Babies\n\nOne of the most upsetting things I witnessed was the way a baby-room leader spoke to children. On three separate occasions, I personally heard her shouting at a baby who was crying, saying things like “Stop crying now, that’s enough!”\nThis behaviour felt completely inappropriate, especially for babies who are still adjusting to being away from home and often just need comfort.\n\nFeeding Instructions Ignored\n\nAt 5–6 months old, my daughter was still on first-stage milk, and we had clearly stated that we did not want her moved to follow-on milk yet. Despite this, we later discovered she was given age-2 milk without our consent. This was extremely concerning to us as parents.\n\nSafeguarding Incident\n\nThe incident that made us remove her immediately involved her being put down for a nap in the sleep room and left without supervision, with no handover and no monitoring equipment (no camera, monitor, or walkie-talkie).\nWhen staff eventually returned, she had been crying alone in her cot for a concerning prolonged period (we’ve been told later that week the amount of time from CCTV).\n\nThis was not a misunderstanding — the issue was serious enough that it was formally reported to the relevant local authorities as a safeguarding concern. Because of the seriousness of the situation, we withdrew her straight away.\n\nWe still have not heard anything directly from the nursery regarding this incident.\n\nI understand every family has different experiences, but based on what we went through in such a short time, I would strongly encourage parents to look very carefully and ask detailed questions before choosing this nursery.", "datePublished": "2025-12-03T09:50:39.126133839Z", "inLanguage": "en" }, { "@type": "Review", "reviewRating": { "@type": "Rating", "ratingValue": 5, "bestRating": 5, "worstRating": 1 }, "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Riccardo Carapellese" }, "reviewBody": "We are extremely happy with the nursery — the manager and the staff are wonderful.

Registered to accommodate up to 71 children, the nursery operates all year round from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm, Monday to Friday, providing full-day care. The dedicated team consists of 22 staff members, with 12 holding childcare qualifications ranging from Level 2 to 5. While the nursery is a lively environment where children generally feel safe and enjoy playing, the recent inspection on May 15, 2025, noted that the overall effectiveness requires improvement. This is due to identified weaknesses in practice affecting the quality of children's learning experiences, particularly in supporting personal development and ensuring consistent behavioural expectations. Leaders and managers have acknowledged these areas and are actively working with the local authority to implement improvements to enhance the provision for all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Our ethos Our EYFS-based curriculum nurtures every child’s development through play. From babies to preschoolers, children grow their social, emotional, physical, and communication skills while exploring literacy, maths, arts, and the world around them. With a dedicated Key Person and learning that extends indoors and outdoors, we build confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. We put loving, high-quality care at the heart of everything we do, creating a safe, secure environment where children feel valued and confident. What it's like Children are safe and overall have fun and join in with play at this lively nursery. In general, staff are welcoming and friendly with the children. However, there are several weaknesses in practice that mean the quality of children's learning experience is not good.

They have identified children who need additional support. Leaders and managers are beginning to liaise with parents to put plans in place to meet their needs. However, these plans are still in their infancy and have yet to be embedded. Outdoor space Children often run around the room and garden unchallenged. However, when groups are smaller, children cooperate in play with their friends and learn to take turns and share their toys. ## Parent Reviews of Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Battersea 4.1 (15) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocKck0xe8Ivd-2fNtYSThUJ5Zl2FaP_Kxgr50wujK05m6TVPGA=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Bina Bllaca 5 months ago I have had a great experience with both my children being at monkey puzzle battersea.
