    Every day the team go to an enormous effort to come up with various enjoyable and educational activities so the kids are getting new experiences and games every day. They also seem to get a lot of time out in the (large) outdoor/garden area where they have a playground with slide and little trikes to playtime on as well. There is a great variation in the meals which are of great nutritional value and dietary requirements are carefully observed. All of the team are welcoming and dedicated and clearly have worked hard to understand every kid’s individual needs. Our son has a speech delay and we have felt supported by Monkey Puzzle Catford in providing him with the extra assistance he needs with his updates. The most important and clearest reflection of how great the childcare centre is for me is how excited he is to attend every day, he basically runs in there! Our son started in the toddler room about 6 months ago and we couldn’t be happier.

    My daughter consistently leaves and goes in cheerful and with immense enthusiasm. The team are highly welcoming and approachable. The creative ideas and activities the kids do cover vast subject matters and I consistently look forward to when my daughter brings her work home. The food provided is varied and has truly encouraged my daughter to try new things. I moved to the area in September 2020 and this was my favourite childcare centre.

    Our daughter has attended for two years now and loves it. The team are attentive and compassionate and the childcare centre seems like a truly enjoyable place to be. The day is structured truly well and information provided at the end of each day is truly supportive. The team have also managed incredibly well in a difficult year, and the childcare centre has continued to sense like a secure and welcoming space for kids. Monkey Puzzle Day Childcare centre Catford is a excellent childcare centre.

    I have found this childcare centre to be truly supportive of families and it provides a secure, supportive and progressive setting for kids. The kids learn so much and the team assistance kids through all stages like walking, potty/toilet training, literacy, updates, maths, phonics. I would suggest this childcare centre. My kid has been attending this childcare centre since he was 10 months old.

    Baby and tweenies room team are great at what they do, when I leave my kid I don’t sense worried or scared, the place is not smelly or dirty and a great atmosphere. Thank you and also the Mother’s Day treat today was fantastic, highly glad I was able to attend, eating with the kids, meeting other moms, it was great. So far my journey with you is great. Excellent welcoming, loving, compassionate team.

    The team show genuine interest and fondness for the kids and offer supportive advice. Our pre-schooler consistently comes home eager to tell us everything he has learned that day, and it’s been fantastic to see how well our younger one has thrived. Both my kids attend the childcare centre full time and they receive remarkable care.

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

    The team in the babies and tweenies room are remarkable and attentive. The office team and management have been excellent as well whenever we’ve needed anything. I can’t suggest this childcare centre enough. My daughter has been attending for six months now and absolutely loves this childcare centre.

    After a lengthy search for a great childcare centre, I finally came across Monkey Puzzle in Catford after few of my friends recommended this childcare centre to me.
    Now my daughter has been attending this childcare centre for a month and she is as cheerful as ever, waking up every morning looking forward to it.
    Team are welcoming, attentive, easy to communicate with and highly expert.

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

    Baby room and Tweenie Room team are a credit to the setting.
    They care for the kids 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. I’m so exceptionally grateful for the positive transition my daughter has recently had between rooms.

    She has been attending this childcare centre for over 3 years and she loves it! The team are respectful and attentive to my kid. My daughter’s development has come on leaps and bounds, due to the assistance and encouragement from the team at Monkey Puzzle. My daughter (and myself) will be sad when the time comes to say goodbye to the childcare centre and all the fantastic team. The team are highly nurturing to my daughter and I never have to worry about her care when she’s at childcare centre.

    He goes into the toddlers’ room every morning with a smile and a wave, keen to see his friends and the remarkable team who teach and care for him so brilliantly every day! We had the same journey with both the baby and tweenies room with exceptionally attentive and competent team who reassured us every day that he was in secure hands.
    We can see how confident and independent he is becoming and adore seeing photos of the activities they’ve been doing each week.
    The garden area is remarkable – secure an enclosed and truly makes the most of the space.
    Honestly can’t suggest this childcare centre enough and sense highly lucky to have found it.
    Thank you! 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.

    The childcare centre’s greatest asset is its team. This includes those who work with the kids on a daily basis, who truly care for them and for their development. It also includes the senior management team who we have known for a number of years now and who have done an exceptional job through 2020 keeping the childcare centre open and running so well. Anyone who leaves their kid with the team can be sure they are receiving the best of care. Both my kids attend Monkey Puzzle and I cannot suggest it enough.

    Two members of team were welcoming and they show me around the Childcare centre. All the team members are highly welcoming and highly exceptional, they care a lot for the kids. They consistently keep me informed about any new development and changes on time, level of updates is outstanding. 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 Childcare centre.

    The team were highly supportive during this transition as she has never been in any childcare! She is currently 19 months in the Tweenies room and again the team are so excellent and she’s consistently cheerful to go in every morning! Thank you! My daughter has been attending the childcare centre since she was 11 months in the baby room!

    She runs in the door in the morning and gallops out at night, consistently in a lovely mood and ready to tell me as much as she can about her day. She is almost 3 now and has been there since she was 14 months old. She is pretty great with numbers and can count to 15. She loves the garden and the mud kitchen and has been teaching me childcare centre rhymes. The team genuinely care and are consistently cheerful, which is so important. I happily suggest this childcare centre. My daughter has a fantastic time at childcare centre every day.

    He’s progressed from Tweenies to the Pre-school and has consistently bonded with the team in each room. He is highly cheerful at Monkey Puzzle and consistently looks forward to going. From day one he came home buzzing after childcare centre and loves to share what he learnt in a highly animated way. The team are simply fabulous. They are so supportive and provide a secure and encouraging setting. They are welcoming and approachable and were incredible throughout the pandemic. Management is highly 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 highly inviting and homey sense that is down to the team. The kids get lots of time in the garden, which is a great 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 truly helped me sense at ease going back to work. Our son is now 4 and has been at Monkey Puzzle Day Childcare centre Catford since he was 1 year old.

    My daughter started at 12 months and settled into the baby room truly well, despite never being away from me for long periods. Going back to work was highly daunting but knowing she was in secure hands and being cared for by the incredible team made it so much easier. Truly pleased with the childcare centre and sense confident my daughter is well cared for. I viewed seven nurseries in the area, and Monkey Puzzle was by far the best!

    The opening times are truly excellent and the options of car park is truly convenient in bad weathers. All the rooms are consistently spotless and they consistently send update emails regarding team changes and any other updates. I consistently suggest this day-care to my friends as I know they look after the kids truly well and look out for any improvements and assistance the family as well. I choose this childcare centre after my maternity leave so I could go back to work and my son has been loving every day.
