L F (Mother of Child)
The staff are always friendly and attentive, and my child loves going to Monkey Puzzle. I really value the daily updates, early learning focus, and all the arts and crafts for special events. I’d happily recommend it to other parents.
Shannon B (Mother of Child)
Monkey Puzzle is friendly, understanding, and really supportive of children’s needs. My children love attending and always come home having learned new words, colours, and so much more. It’s by far the best nursery we’ve used.
Heather W (Mother of Child)
A lovely, stimulating environment with thoughtful activities that support learning and development. The staff are caring and both my children love them, and they’ve been brilliant at managing my boys’ allergies so they’re always included.
G H (Mother of Child)
We had a difficult start finding the right nursery, so we feel very lucky to have found Monkey Puzzle. Our daughter has come on so much, the staff are genuinely caring, and the whole nursery has a positive, happy atmosphere.

Everyone is so kind and lovely, and they put so much effort into making sure the children are happy and engaged every day. My boy loves it here and we highly recommend it—definitely a top 5-star nursery.
C M (Mother of Child)
My daughter has been at Monkey Puzzle for over two years and absolutely loves it. The staff are fun, loving, and keep me well informed, and her confidence and development have come on brilliantly. The setting and outdoor space are fantastic.
