    They do so many fantastic things with the kids at Monkey Puzzle, and the team consistently go above and beyond. I couldn’t suggest Monkey Puzzle highly enough. My son absolutely loves coming to childcare centre and is consistently so chatty about everything he’s done throughout the day when I pick him up.

    She is 15 months old so that says a lot.

    The childcare centre itself is a remarkable place and it seems they truly take all feedback onboard positive and negative and nothing is ever too much trouble.

    She has formed truly close bonds with every team member I have met and they truly understand her personality.

    I do not have anything negative to say as they have fulfilled all our needs and our kid’s needs. Our daughter loves going to childcare centre, whenever we drop her off at Monkey Puzzle she can’t wait to get through the door, to the point of not even looking back to say goodbye.

    Both boys have come on tremendously, they helped one to walk. Both boys come home tired after a busy day. They consistently seem to have things to do and nothing is too much for the team. They are so supportive and considerate and the care they give the boys just light up in their faces. I am so highly cheerful with the childcare centre, one started in April and one in June.

    I couldn’t be happier with our choice of childcare, which has enabled us to run our businesses as parents and delight in total peace of mind, even getting updates throughout the day on the app which alleviates parent guilt a bit – lovely passionate and genuine team. Hugely recommended. A stellar childcare centre who pay incredible attention to detail when it comes to attentive for my two youngest kids.

    We’ve been there twice now but the second time there wasn’t a decision to make, we’d already found Monkey Puzzle! There are so many great things to say, too many to write!
    They are consistently expert but with a welcoming and personal touch.
    They regularly assess the development of every kid to ensure all of their individual needs are met all of the time.
    They’re constantly finding ways to make themselves even better, adapting and growing to ensure the kids have the best start in life. Parents are asked for their feedback, opinions and suggestions which I adore!
    They are regularly led by the kids’s imaginations and let them take everyone in the room on adventures. They create educational tasks/activities based on their interests and ideas which helps them truly engage and makes discovering enjoyable! There is never a time that I am not met with huge smiles when I collect at the end of the day. 100% suggest! Finding a childcare centre that is perfect for you and your kid is hard.

    He has consistently enjoyed going to childcare centre and felt at home there. The team are highly attentive and managed to create a varied program of activities to encourage his development. Our son has just graduated after being at Monkey Puzzle Day Childcare centre for just under 4 years.

    My baby daughter gets so much loving attention during the day and is consistently doing something messy and enjoyable. She settled truly quickly, and her key person is incredible, keeps us up to date with what she’s up to, we get pics via the app so we know she’s having a excellent day and eating great food. Also, she can sleep when it suits her in the separate quiet room/sleep room. It’s the peace of mind we need when we’re at work. So glad we found this childcare centre, it’s definitely the best one in the area so hoping to keep my daughter there until she starts school as the Preschool has also been recommended to us by other parents. I can’t praise Monkey Puzzle highly enough.

    Both my kids have attended and they adore going. All the different rooms cater to the needs of the age group and there have been some outstanding members of team. Highly expert childcare centre that offers high-quality care.

    We’ve been delighted with how he has settled in, how cheerful he is there and his development. The team are fantastic, genuinely attentive and are cheerful to help with everything. It’s been a difficult time for everyone during this pandemic, but they have not let this affect things. I adore the updates on the app (which is easy for us) it brightens my day to see the enjoyable activities he’s doing at childcare centre. Our son has recently started at Monkey Puzzle.

    Every day, my little one has a huge smile on his face when we arrive and happily goes over to the girls. The menu is excellent, and the childcare centre is spotless and well maintained. Would suggest to anyone. My little one started at the end of September, and we absolutely adore the childcare centre, especially the team.

    I couldn’t have asked for a better childcare centre and preschool, the team truly care for the kids and do so many exciting activities. They’ve taught my kid a huge amount and prepared him so wonderfully for his next steps. As a parent I’ve felt looked after too, and reassured that my kid was getting the best. Thank you everyone at Monkey Puzzle Day Childcare centre, it will be a wrench to leave such a cheerful place. My kid has been here since he just turned 1 and is just about to leave to go to primary school.

    A home from home in some ways and consistently cheerful with her days there. She especially loves playing out and other activities, but most importantly enjoys the interaction with her little friends and the fantastic team. A highly positive journey for our daughter who has been at the childcare centre for close to two years.

    The team have been incredible, their updates and commitment to ensuring a smooth transition into their childcare centre setting has made us sense exceptionally confident that our kid is in the best place! My son has recently started at Monkey Puzzle and our journey to date has been nothing short of outstanding.

    Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds in the last 2 and a half years from a shy toddler to a cheerful confident 4 year old. She has a exceptional key person who is welcoming, knowledgable and expert and nothing is ever too much trouble. The facilities are incredible, definitely the best in the area, inviting and well set out. They take parent opinions into account so you sense truly valued, and they are consistently going from strength to strength. The way the team dealt with the covid situation is outstanding, keeping us informed and making sure steps are taken to keep us all secure. We’ll be sorry when our daughter leaves for school in the autumn but the childcare centre has made sure she is ready for her next step. Best childcare centre in the area hands down and a lifeline for our family. This childcare centre has gone above and beyond at every step with our daughter, I can’t suggest Monkey Puzzle highly enough.

    The team work so hard to understand the individual needs of every kid and it is lovely the see the bond they share with all of the kids. The childcare centre is professionally run with well-trained team and excellent updates. Over what has undoubtedly been an exceptionally difficult few months for the childcare centre, it has been heartening to see them consistently putting the kids first and doing whatever they can to assistance their needs, above all else. Most importantly, my son runs out of the house every morning, excited to get to childcare centre and spends the whole time he’s not there talking about going back. So they must be doing something right. My son has been going to Monkey Puzzle since he was 9 months old, he is now 2 and a half and he absolutely loves it.

    They engage and push her with a wide range of activities. All the team are incredibly welcoming and have met or daughters every need. She loves going to childcare centre, what more could you ask for. Monkey puzzle does a remarkable job of looking after our daughter.

    I couldn’t suggest Monkey Puzzle highly enough. The team are exceptional. Their knowledge and journey are highly impressive and they truly care about the kids. Outstanding facilities and outdoor space. I’m so pleased we chose Monkey Puzzle. My boys adore it. My eldest kid finished at Monkey Puzzle last year and my youngest is still there.

    My daughter has been with them for 2-years and loves it. All the team are compassionate, hardworking, attentive and expert. They consistently go that extra mile to ensure the kids have a excellent day and keep you up to date of their development. The childcare centre itself is spotless, well maintained and well equipped so that the kids have everything they need in a excellent setting.
    I cannot praise all the team enough for how hard they work and how much effort they put in to keep the childcare centre running well and making sure the kids have variety in their day. Remarkable childcare centre.

    The team go above and beyond to take care of the kids. The facilities and outdoor space are fantastic. My daughter has additional needs and the team make sure that her extra needs are met. They make you sense nothing is too much effort. Our daughter thoroughly enjoys attending each week. Would highly suggest Monkey Puzzle Childcare centre.

    If you want a kid focused childcare centre than I cannot suggest this place enough. I adore the fact that my little boy comes home messy as it shows he’s had lots of different experiences and enjoyable. My little boy started at 8 months old and is now 10 months old, he seems to have settled in truly well and I think this is down to the outstanding team who show empathy and a passion for attentive for kids. It may not have the best Ofsted but I know as a teacher that this isn’t consistently a true reflection of a setting. I know my kid is secure and cheerful and having lovely experiences which to me is what is most important when looking for a childcare centre. The team at Monkey Puzzle make the place stand out.
