    My daughter has been at Monkey Puzzle Watford since September 2020. She has absolutely loved going to nursery and looks forward to seeing the staff and kids. My daughter’s development as come on so much with her talking and I love all the updates we receive. The building is all brand new, clean and safe. The staff are great, friendly and welcoming, going above and beyond especially with the extra covid safety measures. We are so pleased we chose this nursery.

    Our son absolutely loves the staff and nursery. From starting as a one-year-old he has developed so much and I think a huge part of his confidence and curiosity has been encouraged by the nursery.
    We’ve been extremely impressed with the staff’s professionalism and the range of activities they do. Our son thoroughly enjoys attending and talks about the days’ activities, staff and other children with excitement. The facilities are fantastic (lovely outdoor space), with a small group environment for children not to feel so overwhelmed, but more a home from home.
    We receive regular updates from his key worker relating to his development and have been fully supported with development goals like toilet training.
    The nursery have been very flexible in allowing us to bring him in for extra sessions recently to help juggle our working patterns.
    I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

    My daughter is 1 year old and started at Monkey Puzzle 5 months ago. At first, I was a bit nervous as she is my first and with everything going on.
    However, the manager completely reassured me about how safe she would be and put my mind at ease.
    The staff are so caring and passionate about the care they give her and it’s like a second family for her. I feel so safe and reassured and I would recommend them to anyone.

    My son has been attending Monkey Puzzle since they first opened. They now have a strong team and my son has really warmed to all the staff – they are very caring and passionate about what they do.
    The activities he takes part in are very varied. He learns something new every day and comes home tired! We have seen fantastic progress in all aspects educational, developmental and personal.

    The nursery staff are lovely and fully engaged with our children. They plan activities that they know the children will enjoy. They provide a caring and supportive environment in which our children learn new skills. The boys are always thrilled to be dropped off, the only problem is they don’t want to leave!
    The pandemic has made it hard to comment properly on cleanliness recently, but it certainly seemed of a good standard the last time I was allowed in!

    The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Always smiling and listening to what I have to say. They give me a little summary of how my child did at the nursery, which is good. Always answering my queries and the communication is very good. I will definitely recommend this nursery to all family and friends as I have seen improvement in my child as he has developmental delay. So happy my child goes to this nursery.

    We like the care and attention that the lovely and professional staff provide to our children. They always arrive smiling and run in and at the end of the day they come out smiling again. We highly recommend this nursery to our friends.

    Monkey Puzzle Watford staff has been very friendly and understanding of our needs all along. The close ties our kid has developed with all the nurses there speaks for itself really. We were very pleased to see that Monkey Puzzle don’t have a one-size -fits-all approach with the kids and they really adjust their practices, schedule etc to every kid’s special circumstances. We are so happy we switched to Monkey Puzzle from another provider and would gladly recommend them to parents in the area who are looking for top quality childcare.

    Our daughter has attended Monkey Puzzle since January 2020 and absolutely loves it. The staff are all very friendly and seem to have great relationships with the children. Our daughter frequently comes home singing new songs, or playing a new game that she has learnt that day and loves talking about her friends.
    Nursery have always been supportive with naptimes and potty training.

    Our boy has attended Monkey Puzzle since last September and we couldn’t be happier – he loves it there. The staff are very friendly and they seem to really know the children, they have great relationships with them. They organise lots of creative activities and opportunities to learn about specific holidays or events around the world which is great for educating in diversity, they also do lots of crafts and the children are so proud to take them home. They’re very supportive and their bond with the children and families is real, I’m so happy we switched from another nursery where we felt the approach was more one size fits all.

    My son started at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Watford back in February 2022 just before his 3rd birthday. Right from when we went to go view the nursery, my son took to it straight away (something he has never done in viewings of other nurseries). The staff have been brilliant with him. We are awaiting speech and language sessions (he’s on the waiting list with the NHS) but in the meantime have seen such a massive difference with him as he is picking up a lot of new words from the other kids and staff. They are brilliant with him. Getting to know his likes and dislikes and celebrating each milestone he makes it’s great to see. There are many external sessions run from other companies (sports, music etc) which he enjoys. The food caters for all and he has settled in so well. That’s down to the amazing environment created by the staff. They are always so friendly. I love the diversity in the nursery celebrating Eid, Chinese New Year, Diwali etc. I would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle they are truly amazing.

    I strongly recommend Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Watford to all parents who want a safe, warm, nice and professional place for their kids. My son enjoyed the nursery from the first day. He is very happy. Staff and management are really helpful and nice. Good food, good organisation, nice activities and Safe place to leave your child. No stress as I know my son is there as I’m working full time.

    After a bad experience, we had a good look around and found this amazing nursery. It is so clean and new, the garden has everything a child could use to explore, a big bonus as my 3-year-old boy is very active. All the playing activities were perfectly set up and ready for the next day.

    This nursery embraces different cultures and religions and my children were able to have Halal.

    The children have learnt all different religions and enjoy different festivals, which I think is so important to learn and enjoy together.

    We receive daily activity sheets and the children are always busy learning and exploring.

    My son, since joining this nursery, has found the confidence to speak more and his vocabulary has improved so much since starting at this nursery.

    What makes this nursery so different is they care about the family unit and especially for the children. They have supported my family when we have needed it and will always try to accommodate our childcare needs, even in emergencies.

    One member of staff at the nursery is amazing! I was anxious when he started nursery, but she put my mind at ease straight away. She is very attentive to my son, always interested in his development and favourite activities. She always keeps us posted on new things he does and learns at nursery, and my son loves her! The whole facility is of a very high standard.

    Monkey Puzzle Watford is a fantastic nursery, and I would recommend it to anyone looking at putting their child into the nursery. My boy is there and has gained so much from being around other children. All the staff are absolutely fantastic. They know your child so well and at pick up, come down for a chat, and everyone knows what he’s been up to, comment on almost imperceptible mood changes etc.

    My son moved to the UK in June and he joined Monkey Puzzle in July. We were a bit apprehensive due to the cultural differences, but he was very comfortable since day one. The manager was very helpful during his onboarding. My son now loves going to nursery every day. The faculty made sure he felt comfortable since day one and makes sure every moment of his time in the nursery is enjoyable.

    My son joined Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery in November 2022 at just under the age of 18 months old. It was our first-ever experience with a nursery. I was quite nervous to begin with but literally after his first settling-in session, my nerves were put at ease. The rooms, facilities and garden are all done up nicely. I have a great relationship with the staff, they’ve all been a pleasure to deal with. Most importantly, my son loves going to nursery. He can’t wait to get in the front door and let loose!

    The nursery has a nice atmosphere and the team are very friendly and caring towards my child. They make a special effort to ensure she is always looked after and happy. They do lots of educational activities, as well as art, music and baking. It’s especially reassuring that the nursery puts safety first, and the premises are secure and modern. I am very pleased that I chose Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Watford for my child.

    My daughter started the nursery for the first time. I had lots of stress. But the staff are really helpful to settle down. She is now really happy and settled and enjoys all the activities there. I am very relieved now. Lucky to choose this nursery.
