My son joined Tweenies last year, and in just a short time, I’ve seen such a positive change in his confidence. He has made many friends, thanks to the support of the wonderful team. He quickly picked up phonics and was able to write his initials all on his own. I’m so excited to see even more progress as he continues in preschool. It’s truly incredible how children are naturally drawn to the staff’s warmth. I wholeheartedly recommend Monkey Puzzle Twickenham do not hesitate to send your children there. We are so grateful for the care and encouragement they’ve given our little one.
Read on GoogleMonkey Puzzle Twickenham nursery has been such a delightful experience for Clara. The Tweenies room , felt like a home away from home. The staff truly care for the children, creating a warm and nurturing atmosphere where Clara was safe and loved. When she moved up to Preschool, I was thrilled to see how the engaging curriculum and fun activities sparked her imagination and fostered her social skills. Seeing Clara excited to go each day, sharing her little stories about making new friends and going on adventures, warms my heart. I can't recommend Monkey Puzzle Twickenham enough; the caring staff and enriching environment have made all the difference.
Read on GoogleMy daughter has been attending Monkey Puzzle Twickenham since she was eight months old, and it’s been such a wonderful journey. Now, at four years old, she has learned so much and grown in so many ways. At Monkey Puzzle Twickenham, they gently encourage children to write their names and help them develop confidence and kindness through fun role play activities. The staff are incredibly friendly and caring, always making sure each child feels loved and supported. I am deeply grateful to everyone at Monkey Puzzle Twickenham for taking such good care of my daughter and nurturing her early learning and happiness.
Read on GoogleI honestly can’t thank Monkeypuzzle Twickenham enough for everything they’ve done for my son. From the very first day (12months), he’s was surrounded by the most caring, patient, and loving staff. You can tell straight away that this isn’t just a job for them — they truly love what they do. Every morning, my son ran in with a huge smile, excited to see his friends and teachers, and that says it all. The team went above and beyond every single day, creating a fun, nurturing environment. As a parent, it’s such a comforting feeling to know your child is in the best hands — cared for by people who treat them like their own. The updates, photos, and little stories they shared meant so much, and it’s was incredible to see how much thought and creativity went into every activity and every celebration. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the amazing staff (Lilian, Mickey, Latisha, Jackie, Sobia, Montaha) You’ve all made such a difference in my son’s life, and in ours as a family. We feel so lucky to have been part of your nursery community. He's just started school and I truly believe that the way he has settled so comfortably in to school life is down to the fantastic pre school experience he had at Monkeypuzzle, which was the icing on the cake for his entire 3 years there.
Read on GoogleOur son attended this nursery from 11 months old and it was the most wonderful experience. The staff truly cared for him as if he were their own — he grew so much during his time there, developing confidence, new skills, and amazing friendships. A special thank you to Lillian, Jackie, Ana, Priscilla, Micky, Latisha (whom he absolutely adored!), and Sobia for their warmth, dedication, and care every single day. We will always be grateful for the love and support the team gave our little boy. An outstanding nursery that we would wholeheartedly recommend.
