Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Catford

After a lengthy search for a good nursery, I finally came across Monkey Puzzle in Catford after few of my friends recommended this nursery to me.
Now my daughter has been attending this nursery for a month and she is as happy as ever, waking up every morning looking forward to it.
Staff are friendly, attentive, easy to communicate with and very professional.

My son has been at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Catford since he was one. He always looks forward to going to nursery (although it’s now pre school as he thinks he’s very grown up!). His confidence is incredible and I think this is down to the nurturing that he gets at nursery. In the morning he barely turns to say goodbye as he marches in for a day’s excitement.

Our son is now 4 and has been at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Catford since he was 1 year old. He’s progressed from Tweenies to the Pre-school and has always bonded with the staff in each room. He is very happy at Monkey Puzzle and always looks forward to going. From day one he came home buzzing after nursery and loves to share what he learnt in a very animated way. The staff are simply fabulous. They are so supportive and provide a safe and encouraging environment. They are friendly and approachable and were amazing throughout the pandemic. Management is very communicative, keeping us well-informed of what’s going on at Monkey Puzzle. The food is varied and my son eats everything there. It has a very warm and homey feel that is down to the staff. The kids get lots of time in the garden, which is a good size with plenty of activities set up (on rota). We couldn’t be any happier that we chose Monkey Puzzle to take this journey with us. It really helped me feel at ease going back to work.

I moved to the area in September 2020 and this was my favourite nursery. My daughter always leaves and goes in happy and with immense enthusiasm. The staff are very friendly and approachable. The creative ideas and activities the children do cover vast subject matters and I always look forward to when my daughter brings her work home. The food provided is varied and has really encouraged my daughter to try new things.

My son started attending Monkey Puzzle in January and l loved the standard, right from the first day l went for a visit at the Nursery. Two members of staff were welcoming and they show me around the Nursery. All the staff members are very friendly and very brilliant, they care a lot for the children. They always keep me informed about any new development and changes on time, level of communication is excellent.

Honestly, one of the best nurseries I’ve seen. Very well organised and structured. The staff are very friendly and compassionate. You can tell they genuinely care about your child’s development. They also provide fresh food cooked on-site by their chef and always accommodate dietary requirements. They cook a variety of food, so you know your child is getting good nutrition. They also have very well-kept rooms, with variations of toys and play areas which are all good quality and cleaned daily. They have a very good daily structure too which I love, so your child has a routine that assists with developments and not just random play all day like other nurseries. Lastly, the staff are so experienced and skilled which is evident by my child’s development at nursery and also my favourite is the detailed report you get at the end of each day which tells you everything your child has done so you are well informed. Would honestly recommend it to all parents.

Both my children attend the nursery full time and they receive fantastic care. The staff show genuine interest and fondness for the children and offer helpful advice. Our pre-schooler always comes home eager to tell us everything he has learned that day, and it’s been wonderful to see how well our younger one has thrived.

I’m so extremely grateful for the positive transition my daughter has recently had between rooms.
Baby room and Tweenie Room staff are a credit to the setting.
They care for the children with passion.
My daughter waves goodbye to me happily, and that’s if she isn’t already greeting her friends, with me long forgotten for the day!

Thank you, ladies, from the bottom of my heart.

My daughter has been attending for six months now and absolutely loves this nursery. The staff in the babies and tweenies room are fantastic and caring. The office team and management have been great as well whenever we’ve needed anything. I can’t recommend this nursery enough.

My son has been going to Monkey Puzzle, Catford for over a year now and we couldn’t be happier, because he couldn’t be.
He goes into the toddlers’ room every morning with a smile and a wave, keen to see his friends and the fantastic staff who teach and care for him so brilliantly every day! We had the same experience with both the baby and tweenies room with extremely caring and competent staff who reassured us every day that he was in safe hands.
We can see how confident and independent he is becoming and love seeing photos of the activities they’ve been doing each week.
The garden area is fantastic – safe an enclosed and really makes the most of the space.
Honestly can’t recommend this nursery enough and feel very lucky to have found it.
Thank you!
