    I’d thoroughly endorse this early‑years hub. The early‑years hub teach them a lot, especially the preschool class. The owners are truly family first and have been absolutely great throughout Covid-19. I have two girls at this nursery setting, one in preschool and one in the baby room. My four year old daughter’s writing is really coming on, as is her phonics and she doesn’t start school for another six months. Both kids absolutely treasure it and go in excited to see their friends and key workers.

    I never got an email back from the manager letting her know that my little one is leaving the early‑years hub. Wouldn’t endorse. I think it’s really bad as you’re paying a lot for your little one to go there. Need to work on customer service competences, especially on the phone, they just don’t seem interested. Never the same key worker picking your youngster up from the door.

    Our little one treasures going to Monkey Puzzle Sidcup. She started when she was 2 years old and has since then really developed in confidence, social interaction, correspondence and language. The childcare centre itself is spacious and the kids have room to activities and explore. The kids are absorbing through activities and interaction with little ones and adults alike. Our young lady has bonded really well with all her carers, the crew are lovely! Very pleased with the early‑years hub, would advocate! As parents, we are so delighted that they do so many different kinds of activities in Monkey Puzzle such as singing/music/dancing, reading, maths, STEM activities, arts and crafts, yoga and other exercise, baking/cooking and one of our favourites is forests school. The management is responsive and delighted to help when needed and they keep parents updated with news and activities.

    We were extremely downhearted to leave and know she misses all her friends and carers immensely. Our girl joined Monkey Puzzle Sidcup for the previous few years and recently left to start school. The nursery setting has great premises, was focused on creating the right discovering journey for our youngster and importantly the team and management are fantastic. They have all helped our girl to grow into a wonderful independent little girl, so thank you!

    My little one started at Monkey Puzzle in Sidcup this year and after a tricky year with COVID lockdowns etc as parents, we were exceptionally anxious about the whole situation. They all deserve a medal for the work they do here! Monkey Puzzle at Sidcup did everything possible to put our minds at ease and from day one until now our little boy looks at this as his second home and adores going. And seeing how pleased our boy is going in makes it all worthwhile! The crew are all so welcoming, warm and approachable. To say we wholeheartedly advocate this nursery setting would be an understatement, the personnel here have supported us through our sons settling in, speech and language delay and also in toilet training too. Nothing asked ever seems too much trouble.

    I only wish the baby section was a little bit bigger, however they compensate this by the lovely gardens that they have. They have wonderful personnel and they understand the child’s needs. We are extremely delighted to have sent our little boy to Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Sidcup.

    He has bonded so well with all personnel and thoroughly enjoys going to pre-school. My boy was enrolled at another local childcare centre from 7 months to 1 and a half years and switching nurseries was the best decision – I couldn’t be happier. Additionally the management are really engaged and committed to creating the best space and time for youngsters and parents. They have also handled the challenges of Covid with such professionalism. The team are fantastic, they provide the perfect balance of free activities with educational playtime. I can wholeheartedly suggest Monkey Puzzle Sidcup. It’s been fantastic to watch my young lad develop over the past year and a half – at 3 and a half years he’s brilliant at numbers and starting to do well with his phonics, which is a credit to the early‑years hub.

    My sons have developed brilliantly since being at Monkey Puzzle. They’ve given him a brilliant start in life, and I’m so pleased we chose to send our little ones there. The management team and all the crew are fantastic – really kind, knowledgable and they obviously support a great deal for the kids. My oldest started when he was 11 months old, and is now more than ready for school. My four-year-old and one-year-old twins enrol at this nursery setting and I can’t suggest it wholeheartedly enough.

    We couldn’t be happier with how well he has developed and been looked after there. The correspondence is excellent, the team regularly go the extra mile and you know the youngsters are their priority. We have been really impressed with how incredible the nursery setting have been through the covid crisis. All crew are fantastic and always kind, my little one is thrilled to go each day. My little one has been coming to the early‑years hub since he was 10 months old (he is now almost 3).

    We are so proud of our little one and that is with a big thanks to this childcare centre for their help too. They do so much with the kids they take them out, they have visits from animals to police they literally cover all aspects! she always seems to be enjoying what ever it is she is doing in her activities, she also seems to bond quite quickly with her key workers which is just remarkable, would strongly advocate! Such an remarkable Nursey. It’s fab they keep the youngsters so delighted and interacting all the time. My young lady has been going since 9 months old, and the leaps and bounds she has come is remarkable, everything down to her speech, her interaction, etc.

    My little one runs in every morning and talks about his key worker at home so I know he adores it there. Thank you Monkey Puzzle for all your hard work and for looking after my young lad so well! My boy has been attending Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Sidcup since June 2020 and so far we are so pleased we chose this nursery setting. I have been really impressed with their Covid measures and their contact over changes and issues. She is brilliant at keeping us updated and we’ve seen him improve lots especially over the previous few weeks.

    The personnel are great and do so much with the kids. My little one treasures it here. When ceased trading they have provided resources for at home activities which have been great and well received. The management has been excellent with managing the covid crisis, keeping parents updated and closing rooms when required to safeguard both youngsters and team. He’s speech and social skills have come on leaps and bounds since he’s been attending (over a year now).

    I believe they have done a great job in creating an awesome discovering environment for my youngsters. Both my little ones have and are attending Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Sidcup and I’m pleased to see that the standards of the early‑years hub haven’t slipped since they year they opened, if anything the early‑years hub has gone from strength to strength. I’ve seen my youngster thrive and develop wonderfully at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Sidcup. I’m particularly impressed with how they have managed processes and childcare during the pandemic and correspondence with parents throughout. I’ve always been able to speak to the relevant person when I’ve needed to, offered and received feedback willingly and the management team and crew are quick to respond to suggestions and improvements.

    She once had a febrile seizure at early‑years hub, something I’d not had time of before and the team handled the situation well, making sure she was okay and calling an ambulance for her. So far this year, both youngsters have watched ducklings and butterflies hatch, met budgies, my eldest has was enrolled at Forest school which she cherished and she can now count confidently to ten and has started to trace numbers with her finger when reading. The crew were really encouraging with potty training and have helped her prepare for entering the preschool year, she can now put on her own coat and shoes too. I am extremely thrilled with how our kids have been looked after. Both my kids join Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Sidcup, one in Darwin & one in The Baby Room. My eldest now talks about her friends at home and it’s great to receive picture and video updates on the app, so I can see what fun she is having. The team are always welcoming, accommodating and the lengths they go to to set up themes and activities in the rooms is lovely to see.

    The well-being and happiness of the little ones is always at the heart of everything the nursery setting does. The nursery setting day is well structured with fun and educational activities, allowing the little ones to develop and grow in confidence. Monkey Puzzle Sidcup is a lovely nursery setting, with warm, kind and professional personnel.

    The team there are fantastic, the correspondence from the whole team, including management, has been great and really helped us to feel comfortable and part of the Monkey Puzzle Family. She has learned so much in terms of language, counting, creativity and physical progress. The early‑years hub arranges extra activities like forest school and sports lessons. We have had a great time sending our little one to Monkey Puzzle Sidcup. Our little one adores coming to childcare centre in the morning and has made so many friends. She has bonded with her key workers and all the crew, we would thoroughly suggest the early‑years hub!

    My young lad is currently attending the childcare centre and is in toddlers room, once again we have been pleased with the service offered especially through the difficulties of the pandemic where updates was kept with all parents and little ones and families were kept as protected as possible through their procedures. My young lady then progressed from babies to toddlers and through to preschool. My period with Monkey Puzzle Sidcup began in April 2017. Throughout this time we both made excellent relationships with the personnel, mangers and owners who were all welcoming, open and available to discuss any worries and achievements of my young lady. Monkey Puzzle Sidcup has been a fantastic start for my little ones absorbing journey with the setting offering nurturing setting full of experiences that they have enjoyed ie: themed days, guest speakers, animals, trips etc Highly recommended this family focused setting. I viewed the early‑years hub and myself and my little one were extremely comfortable from the start.

    A couple of minor things that in my view should be looked into which have been raised and that I know will be addressed, but honestly, you ladies are doing an incredible job with our kids. Great early‑years hub with great team. Thank you, thank you and thank you.

    The team are absolutely fantastic which puts us at such ease knowing that she’s in safe hands! Every week she comes home doing something new! Any anxieties I had about her attending nursery setting all went out the window on her first day of attending! My little one has went to this childcare centre since she was nine months old (she’s now twelve months) and honestly I’m so delighted that she spends her days in a loving and delighted setting! Her progress has come on so much too!

    We get regular updates through the parent app including observations of what the kids have been doing on their absorbing journey, a daily diary, they send reports and have parents evenings. The management are exceptionally responsive and send out regular newsletters and messages. They give feedback, guidance and help in all areas including potty training. Both of my youngsters have bonded well with their keyworkers and team in each of the rooms. We have had 2 kids go to Monkey Puzzle Sidcup over the past 4 years. My little one recently left to start school and not only did they give the kids an incredible “graduation” send off but more importantly they helped prepare him to be ready for school. All of the personnel are incredible, cordial and genuinely attention about all of the kids. My little one has settled into his new school amazingly and a lot of this is thanks to Monkey Puzzle Sidcup and for which we are so grateful! The kids do so many activities and absorb so much. Even the chef knows the kid’s names and stops to have a chat.
