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

    It is so spotless and new, the garden has everything a kid 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 childcare centre embraces different cultures and religions and my kids were able to have Halal.

    The kids have learnt all different religions and delight in different festivals, which I think is so important to learn and delight in together.

    We receive daily activity sheets and the kids are consistently busy discovering and exploring.

    My son, since joining this childcare centre, has found the self‑assurance to speak more and his vocabulary has improved so much since starting at this childcare centre.

    What makes this childcare centre so different is they care about the family unit and especially for the kids. They have supported my family when we have needed it and will consistently try to accommodate our childcare needs, even in emergencies. After a bad journey, we had a great look around and found this incredible childcare centre.

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

    My boy is there and has gained so much from being around other kids. All the team are absolutely remarkable. They know your kid 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. Monkey Puzzle Watford is a remarkable childcare centre, and I would suggest it to anyone looking at putting their kid into the childcare centre.

    It was our first-ever journey with a childcare centre. 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 excellent relationship with the team, they’ve all been a pleasure to deal with. Most importantly, my son loves going to childcare centre. He can’t wait to get in the front door and let loose! My son joined Monkey Puzzle Day Childcare centre in November 2022 at just under the age of 18 months old.

    They plan activities that they know the kids will delight in. They provide a attentive and supportive setting in which our kids learn new skills. The boys are consistently 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 great standard the last time I was allowed in! The childcare centre team are lovely and fully engaged with our kids.

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

    I want to say a massive thank you to the team, they are doing an incredible job with the kids, especially to one particular team member, she is consistently there for my little one! My daughter joined the childcare centre in April this year, we can say that this was the best option for us, she is extremely cheerful in here!

    They now have a strong team and my son has really warmed to all the team – they are very attentive 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 remarkable development in all aspects educational, developmental and personal. My son has been attending Monkey Puzzle since they first opened.

    I had lots of stress. But the team are really supportive to settle down. She is now really cheerful and settled and enjoys all the activities there. I am very relieved now. Lucky to choose this childcare centre. My daughter started the childcare centre for the first time.

    From starting as a one-year-old he has developed so much and I think a huge part of his self‑assurance and curiosity has been encouraged by the childcare centre.
    We’ve been extremely impressed with the team’s professionalism and the range of activities they do. Our son thoroughly enjoys attending and talks about the days’ activities, team and other kids with excitement. The facilities are remarkable (lovely outdoor space), with a small group setting for kids not to sense 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 childcare centre have been very flexible in allowing us to bring him in for extra sessions recently to help juggle our working patterns.
    I would highly suggest this childcare centre to other parents. Our son absolutely loves the team and childcare centre.

    They consistently arrive smiling and run in and at the end of the day they come out smiling again. We highly suggest this childcare centre to our friends. We like the care and attention that the lovely and expert team provide to our kids.

    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 secure she would be and put my mind at ease.
    The team are so attentive and passionate about the care they give her and it’s like a second family for her. I sense so secure and reassured and I would suggest them to anyone. My daughter is 1 year old and started at Monkey Puzzle 5 months ago.

    My son enjoyed the childcare centre from the first day. He is very cheerful. Team and management are really supportive and nice. Great food, great organisation, nice activities and Secure place to leave your kid. No stress as I know my son is there as I’m working full time. I strongly suggest Monkey Puzzle Day Childcare centre Watford to all parents who want a secure, inviting, nice and expert place for their kids.

    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 cheerful we switched to Monkey Puzzle from another provider and would gladly suggest them to parents in the area who are looking for top quality childcare. Monkey Puzzle Watford team has been very welcoming and understanding of our needs all along.

    Consistently smiling and listening to what I have to say. They give me a little summary of how my kid did at the childcare centre, which is great. Consistently answering my queries and the updates is very great. I will definitely suggest this childcare centre to all family and friends as I have seen improvement in my kid as he has developmental delay. So cheerful my kid goes to this childcare centre. The team are very welcoming and welcoming.

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

    The team are all very welcoming and seem to have excellent relationships with the kids. 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.
    Childcare centre have consistently been supportive with naptimes and potty training. Our daughter has attended Monkey Puzzle since January 2020 and absolutely loves it.

    They make a special effort to ensure she is consistently looked after and cheerful. They do lots of educational activities, as well as art, music and baking. It’s especially reassuring that the childcare centre puts safety first, and the premises are secure and modern. I am very pleased that I chose Monkey Puzzle Day Childcare centre Watford for my kid. The childcare centre has a nice atmosphere and the team are very welcoming and attentive towards my kid.

    Right from when we went to go view the childcare centre, my son took to it straight away (something he has never done in viewings of other nurseries). The team have been exceptional 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 team. They are exceptional with him. Getting to know his likes and dislikes and celebrating each milestone he makes it’s excellent 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 incredible setting created by the team. They are consistently so welcoming. I adore the diversity in the childcare centre celebrating Eid, Chinese New Year, Diwali etc. I would highly suggest Monkey Puzzle they are truly incredible. My son started at Monkey Puzzle Day Childcare centre Watford back in February 2022 just before his 3rd birthday.
