    There are a lot of activities being offered in terms of development and entertainment and the kids appreciate the variety and enjoyable. We’re extremely content with the caregiving and attention our daughter receives at the nursery. She truly enjoys going there.

    They do a lot of activities and I am well-informed regarding what is happening on which days. It is a brilliant nursery. He truly enjoys himself and even on a weekend, he wants to go sometimes. My son has been going to Monkey Puzzle since he was 1 yr old.

    Highly highly recommend this nursery. We have been using the nursery for nearly 7 years now and have always been content. Incredible choices of food every week to help your little one expand their palate. They do lots of enjoyable activities all week and develop new things. They treat your kids wonderfully and are always content to help with their individual needs and their own plan.

    We always highly recommend Monkey Puzzle to other people looking for nurseries in the area. My son loves going to Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery every day! We are constantly impressed with the range of activities laid on for the kids each day and adore the fact these often represent different religions and cultures. The only thing that could be improved is that the outdoor area is quite small and because it’s covered (fantastic in the winter), the kids don’t get any sun in the summer. The team are remarkable and make such an effort to develop each youngster’s likes and dislikes so that their experience can be tailored to them. The food is fantastic and the kids are offered such a huge variety of nutritious meals and snacks.

    The nursery offers many activities for the kids such as French, yoga and music; no two days are the same. The weekly observations and accompanying photos give a fantastic insight into nursery life! The management team are extremely visible and they will always take the time to discuss anything with us. Every team member has cared for our kids so amazingly – the adore and attentiveness they have shown has meant that our kids have felt extremely content and settled in every room, and have formed extremely strong bonds. The team has also brilliantly supported us through phases such as potty training and “dealing with emotions”, which has helped us at home‑like too. We could not highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery more and when our son leaves to start centre, we will truly miss being a part of it! We could not rate this nursery, the team and its managers more highly. They also put a lot of effort into centre readiness in the final room, which made the transition much easier for my daughter when the time came.

    Our daughter loves her time there already and has made close relationships with the team. Overall, I’d definitely highly recommend this nursery and I would such as to thank everyone for their fantastic caregiving and assistance so far. I’ve been incredibly pleased with all of the team at this nursery. I was extremely anxious when our daughter was going to start nursery, but the 2-week transition sessions truly helped. Key messages are then shared via a separate app, so we’re checking two apps which is quite annoying. My only problem is the use of two separate apps. The LJ Parents app does not send notifications at all, so we have to manually check every now and then to see what’s been added. Team provide lots of updates when we arrive for collection, and also fill in supportive daily diaries which show the food, drink and sleeping times etc. My ask would be for all correspondence to switch over to the Family app asap.

    The management are rude and try to silence every complaint they have. They provide a supermarket’s own label food and try to sell it as “premium”. I have reported them to the Council and they have been issued with a letter of concern by them. The management bullies parents. Monkey Puzzle is a terrible nursery. I have heard nothing but issues from them. I keep hearing bad stories from parents since my daughter began. My daughter is now signed up to an Ofsted outstanding nursery who apply the funding correctly. The garden is small and mediocre. Terrible nursery! My 3 year old was placed in toddlers despite her being more suited to preschool. They discriminate against funded parents and charge them more than non-funded parents as described in my review on another platform. They have been reported to Ofsted twice in 2020 and only achieved a “excellent” from Ofsted despite being the most expensive nursery in Bromley.

    Monkey Puzzle, Bromley day nursery is a fantastic place for little ones. My son has been going to the nursery from the age of 6 months and now he is 4 years old. The only complaint I have is about the constant revision of fees and in the context of inflation it is extremely challenging for us. During this period we have seen his growth and it is absolutely brilliant. Each room has got a bunch of team with a team leader. He has developed excellent social abilities, his potty routine is fantastic, he can eat himself at this age without making the place dirty(quite important) and he is extremely vocal and is not shy to open up and express his feelings. There are separate rooms for little ones in different age groups.

    The team work so incredibly hard to provide stimulating and fresh activities for the kids. Our daughter is always content upon pick up and talks nonstop on the way home‑like about how much enjoyable she’s had throughout the day. The daily updates received via the app on her growth, eating and sleeping habits are an added bonus and reassurance. We are so pleased we chose to send our daughter to Monkey Puzzle Bromley. We could not highly recommend this nursery enough, thank you for taking such fantastic caregiving of our little girl! We feel so content knowing that she is in the caregiving of such kind, warm‑hearted and approachable team.

    We highly highly recommend the nursery. He has strong bonds with a number of the educators and we know he is well cared for. They also provide exceptional meal options for our son who is vegan. Our son has been at Monkey Puzzle for 7 months now and loves it.

    A fantastic space for my little ones to develop and prosper! Excellent, nutritious food with a variety of options. Fantastic extracurricular activities, including sports for tots hosted by a coach (my twins adore this session), yoga and others. My little ones adore it here! Extremely approachable team, with approachable and nurturing attitudes.

    We are impressed with the range and depth of activities introduced at the nursery and the continuing interest to expand accreditations and welcome further opportunities for development, ie, sign language and foreign languages and organised sports. It has been possibly the most difficult period due to the Coronavirus, but Monkey Puzzle has provided a stable and normal setting whilst reaffirming hygiene and excellent health throughout. We recognise the work that Monkey Puzzle team put into our little boy’s growth and value their efforts. His literacy and numeracy have been supported well and he has developed excellent social abilities when mixing with other kids in well-coordinated activities. Our little boy has flourished at Monkey Puzzle.

    I made the difficult decision to move my daughter from a nursery where she was extremely unhappy – there were tears at drop off and she would wake up begging not to go. When you leave your kids in someone’s caregiving you truly want them to have a home‑like-from-home‑like experience, surrounded by people who are as interested and passionate about their well-being and growth as you are. We truly could not be happier, thank you! I cannot highly recommend Monkey Puzzle highly enough. Monkey Puzzle truly is that nursery. She talks so fondly of the adults she is with, tells me stories about her friends and, so far, no tears at drop off. We adore spending time at pick-up watching her playtime and talking with the fantastic members of team. From her first induction at Monkey Puzzle, she made an instant connection with her key worker and other members of the team and she has flourished. I could not be more relieved and am so grateful to everyone for making us all feel so welcome.

    Monkey Puzzle Bromley is a fabulous nursery. The kids get to take part in so many activities and both my kids have thrived at the nursery. She still talks about her time at Monkey Puzzle and how much she enjoyed it. My 2 year old has been attending the nursery for over a year and is equally content. My eldest left in August to head off to centre and made a fantastic start at centre due to the effort put into getting the kids ready for centre in the pre-centre room. The team are all remarkable both within the rooms themselves, management and the team in the kitchen and the nursery truly has a family feel about it. Highly highly recommend.

    We are kept well updated during handovers as well as getting a excellent amount of entries on their development journals. We couldn’t fault Monkey Puzzle, the team, the chefs and the management – they make our lives so much easier. We are content to be able to work knowing that our kids are so well cared for. Thank you for everything! In addition to the assistance that is provided to the kids, parents are treated in a similar way, with team always greeting us with a smile. Both little ones are content to go in and never come home‑like upset. We adore the kind, family feel of the nursery and the caregiving that is shown to our kids is incredible. We now have two little ones at Monkey Puzzle Bromley, one who started at 11 months and is due to begin centre in September.

    Team plan stimulating activities for my kids each day, and I know their development is being supported and this is shared with myself on a daily basis during handovers. I could not highly recommend this nursery enough, my kids moved here from a different nursery setting, and the team team were inviting to both myself and my kids. The nursery uses an app to capture moments at nursery and I receive lots of photos and videos of my kids so I don’t feel I am missing out. The settling-in process is robust and supportive of both kids and parental needs, I felt at ease leaving my kids here and knew their needs would be supported. The facilities are fantastic and the garden is covered meaning the kids can access this in all weathers. The nursery operates a key person approach and this has offered my kids consistency when going to nursery each day, they often speak about their key persons on the weekend, and can’t wait to run into nursery and see them on a Monday Morning.

    The team are extremely nurturing and there are extracurricular activities such as yoga, French and sports that he loves! They are willing to adapt your routines around e.g. It truly feels such as when he is at nursery, it is a home‑like away from home‑like. As a working mom, I adore the efficiency on the administration side and I also adore that the team (both management and room team) are always available to talk to me if I have any questions or concerns. naps and assistance with potty training. During this time we have seen his confidence grow, his social abilities develop, and we adore that he’s exposed to nutritious foods cooked on site by the incredible chefs. Our son has been attending Monkey Puzzle in Bromley since he was 8 months old (he’s now 3+).

    Fantastic ethics and family feeling. Absolutely incredible nursery! Team are so nurturing and kind and honestly would bend over backwards for the parents and the little ones. Relief to know your little ones are content and comfortable all day.
