November 11, 2016 at 12:00 amMy son has been at Monkey Puzzle Hartley Wintney since he was 1 since it opened in January 2016. I have been really happy with the nursery, he has come on leaps and bounds in his social side and language. Before he spoke he was singing (humming) songs like Humpty Dumpty and Twinkle twinkle little star with all the hand movements and this was something I had not taught him and was delighted how he had learnt this. My son takes important daily medication that the team have never missed and been diligent in the awkward way he has to have it!
The staff are kind and compassionate, which for me is the most important factor than hours of paperwork that has to be done these days in nurseries. It is a newer nursery which might worry some, but with that is freshness, passion, modern faculties and an eagerness to always improve the nursery. I know my son gets lots Of cuddles, care kindness and this is the most important thing while I am at work.
All in all, we really love it !

March 4, 2017 at 12:00 amI wanted to say a big thank you for everything that you are doing at the nursery.
Moving nursery was a big decision, but we are so glad that we made the decision to come to you. The experience could not be more different.
Our little girl is engaged every single day, she is learning well through play, her language skills have come on brilliantly, and I know how strong her relationships are particularly with her key workers, she even asks to see them at the weekends!
From a parents perspective obviously the fact that she is safe and happy is of utmost importance, but having the regular updates on her day using the Eylog app is really beneficial and, and the assessment on her learning stages was interesting too.
I just wanted to say a big thank you to you and the team and to let you know that I genuinely believe you’d be hard pushed to find a nursery where the children would have more fun, engagement and learning opportunities.

April 18, 2017 at 12:00 amMonkey Puzzle Day Nursery Hartley Wintney is a brilliant nursery that has cultivated an exceptional learning environment for my son filled with bright colours and warm and friendly staff members. My son absolutely loves spending time at nursery and is always eager to get to nursery which can only be a good thing.
I have found the staff at the nursery both friendly and attentive and it is clear that they really spend time getting to know not just my son but the other children as well. As a parent its great to know that the necessary observations are being carried out and habits are being identified. The management team are also keen that the nursery keeps on improving for the better and regularly enlists the support of the parents to provide feedback for them to build upon.
I really feel as though the nursery fosters a great culture for children to learn as a working Mother it’s great to know that my son is happy there and is being properly cared for.
Thank you Monkey Puzzle, Hartley Wintney

July 10, 2017 at 12:00 amOur daughter joined Monkey Puzzle last October at 1 and a half years old. We can’t thank the staff enough for all their hard work in looking after our daughter. She has learnt so much and has become independent and sociable. I always felt reassured that our daughter would be cared for. Due to a change in our family circumstances, we had to move away. It was quite heart wrenching to say the least that our daughter had to leave Monkey Puzzle. Gone but never forgotten.
Thank you all for giving our daughter the best start we could have hoped for. Our daughter is settling again now but it was very difficult to find somewhere new as the standards at Monkey Puzzle are the highest any parent or guardian could wish for. We miss everyone every day. Thank you so much.

June 17, 2019 at 12:00 amMy youngest son has been at Monkey Puzzle, Hartley Wintney, for over 2 years now and has really thrived in the fantastic environment that the owner and the team create. The staff are all super friendly and really care about the children, taking the time to identify their likes and dislikes and helping them to explore and try new things.
They are also very creative in engaging the children around different activities and themes to help them learn more about the world through their play. The nursery has great sized rooms and outside space for the children to roam around and really encourages some independence as they get older. The owner is also hugely supportive of parents and her slightly longer hours have proven invaluable when my commute doesn’t fully go to plan! I really recommend this nursery and preschool for anyone looking for a safe, fun and creative environment where their children will thrive and build lasting friendships that will take them on to school.

October 4, 2019 at 12:00 amMy son and daughter have attended Monkey Puzzle since the ages of 10 months and 1 year old and they have loved every minute. They have been going for three years now and I wouldn’t change it for the world now. The staff are amazing and so loving towards my children, which is very comforting when you’re at work. Monkey Puzzle is a happy and safe environment. my children love the staff.

October 6, 2019 at 12:00 amMonkey Puzzle is an excellent nursery in the village. Staff are caring and helpful also, to parents. Programs are designed to suit the development of the age but with a personal touch for each child. Key workers really know the children and support their growth and learning. Friendly environment helps your child to settle in and build confidence.

October 6, 2019 at 12:00 amWe have been so pleased with the care and education our daughter has received at nursery. The staff are extremely caring, friendly and always have time to talk to you about progress. I really love the layout of the nursery and the garden is perfect for them to spend lots of time outside.

October 22, 2019 at 12:00 amWe could not be happier to have chosen Monkey Puzzle for our son. The team are exceptional and tailor the care to each child’s needs. Like every parent, we were nervous about making the right choice when it came to his care, but since he started we have never looked back. From video and photo updates through the parents’ portal to the baked goodies, artwork and paint in his hair, we know that he is having lots of fun each and every day.

October 29, 2019 at 12:00 amA wonderful setting where I know my children are cared for and very well looked after. Each and every one of the staff are incredible, friendly, caring and so professional. My children are very lucky to have wonderful role models care for them and whom they have great relationships with.

October 13, 2020 at 12:00 amAn excellent nursery, all staff are friendly, helpful and extremely informative, making my daughter’s day enjoyable with all the different activities and interactions Monkey Puzzle has to offer.
Brilliant updates on my daughter’s progress through photos and posts on the Famly website.
My daughter is always wanting to go in and leaves Monkey Puzzle happy, full of smiles and telling me about her day.
She has come on leaps and bounds since starting.
I could not ask for a better nursery/preschool.

October 13, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son has only been at the nursery for 4 weeks but has settled in well. The staff are all so lovely! I couldn’t have asked for nicer staff to be looking after my son. They send regular updates during the day and always give a thorough handover.
The setting is very modern and they are taking all infection control measures to protect everyone.
Highly recommend this setting.

October 13, 2020 at 12:00 amWe previously sent my daughter to Monkey Puzzle and now my son. He loves it there. I know he is safe and extremely well cared for. The staff are fantastic, particularly during these uncertain times. I can’t thank them enough.

October 29, 2020 at 12:00 amEver since we booked in for a show around back in May 2019 we haven’t looked back.
Our daughter started in September 2019, since day 1 she has been as happy as can be.
The care and attention she receives is amazing. Her learning and development is actively supported and tracked against the latest early years criteria.
No two days are the same, the only thing that is the same every day is that she comes home with the biggest smile.
All her nutritional needs are catered for also.
We feel incredibly lucky that we found Monkey Puzzle and unless something drastic changes, our daughter will be with the team here until she starts school.

November 17, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son’s been attending for over a year now in the baby room. He started at 8-months-old, and he really enjoys it.
He brings home lots of artwork, eg he just bought home an impressive painting of fireworks for firework night.
He has several food allergies, but the nursery has always accommodated this, still serving a variety of healthy food.
The staff are lovely, and my son gets on well with them. They update the app so I can see what he’s doing while I’m at work. They also upload pictures and videos periodically, which is nice.
It’s so good that I recommended it to my group, and now half the group have toddlers there!

March 16, 2021 at 12:00 amVery happy with Monkey Puzzle in Hartley Wintney. All the staff are very friendly and focused on the care and development of our child. The best element to Monkey Puzzle in Hartley Wintney are the staff. There’s nothing more reassuring when you drop your child off that they smile/laugh and walk into the arms of the Monkey Puzzle team! The team provide regular updates during the day with videos and photos. Great that they organise themed days that offer something varied for the kids and are a bit of fun.
Only good experiences so far!

April 7, 2021 at 12:00 amOur son (10 months) has been at Monkey Puzzle Hartley Wintney since January for a full 5-days a week. I was incredibly anxious about leaving my baby for such a long time after being with him every day for the first 10 months of his life. But to say that he loves nursery is an understatement: he is so excited to be dropped off every morning and his development (both mental and physical) since attending Monkey Puzzle has been phenomenal. All of his minders and key worker are so lovely and show him such love and care. I couldn’t be happier – I highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Hartley Wintney!

May 26, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter is so happy on drop off and collection and gives the staff affection which is lovely to see. The staff are always positive, encouraging and helpful in working through any ups and downs in child development. The children spend their day in a happy and bright environment and we couldn’t be happier.

June 8, 2022 at 12:00 amMy child has been happy from day 1 at this nursery. All the staff are consistent, professional, caring, fun and have the child at the heart of all they do.
A testament enough that my son has never cried once at drop off and always skips in through the doors.

September 7, 2022 at 12:00 amI could not recommend Monkey Puzzle highly enough. My son has developed so well over the past year and is still excited to go in every morning. The staff have gone above and beyond to further develop my son and have also been of huge support to myself!
