An amazing nursery with great garden space. Staff in the rooms are lovely and management is super helpful and accommodating. Very happy my son goes here!
Read on GoogleOur son started here for 2 days a week in October and we have been so happy with all the staff and the care given to him. They have especially been wonderful in expanding his desire to try new foods which has proved difficult in the past. He loves all the staff and enjoys playing with the other children. We can see his confidence growing week on week!
Read on GoogleThe facilities are great - especially the garden. The Monkey puzzle team are wonderful- professional, friendly and flexible - George loves the nursery - he never even looks over his shoulder as he struts in for another day of adventures and activities.
Read on GoogleOur daughter just started Monkey Puzzle and absolutely loves it. The staff are all kind, attentive, and responsive. Highly recommend for any parent(s) looking for a safe and nurturing place for their child.
Read on GoogleWe've just had our settling-in week with a fairly sensitive child who's not been apart from us for more than an hour, and I cannot praise the team more for how well they have handled her needs (especially Emani and Jasmine). They are incredibly supportive and nurturing and we're really excited to watch their relationship and her learnings grow.
