    We’ve loved this childcare centre. I have had a kid at this childcare centre since 2015 until now. The team are supportive of the kids and their parents. They provide nutritious and delicious food, fantastic discovering and playing opportunities and take excellent care of all the kids’s needs. I’m grateful for regular updates about my sons’ progress. And I’ve been super impressed with how the childcare centre has faced the challenges presented by the pandemic. They have been adaptable, transparent and have gone to excellent lengths to assistance the kids, even when we were stuck at home! My first son was well prepared for his transition to reception and I’ll be sad when my second kid graduates from Monkey Puzzle!

    Monkey Puzzle has given my daughter confidence and it has matured her ready for school. Fantastic childcare centre providing excellent care for kids.
    Staff are ever truly so loving and warm towards all kids.

    She commenced attending halfway through pandemic when she was 15-months old, and they have been excellent through an extremely trying period. The team here have taken extremely great care of our daughter.
    Our daughter has flourished here, and there have been many instances of her developing skills here that we were struggling with at home, from walking, eating independently and socialising with new kids and adults.
    We viewed a few nurseries before choosing Monkey Puzzle and the key element which convinced us was when the team member who was showing us around on a viewing visit (pre-COVID), kept getting interrupted by other kids wanting a cuddle from her. We felt this was the best possible endorsement of the team we needed to see.

    The team are enthusiastic, warm and attentive and our son, having now attended for 14 months, absolutely loves his childcare centre family. From our very first visit to the childcare centre when choosing which one to send our son to, we knew Monkey Puzzle High Wycombe would definitely provide a cheerful and secure setting for him.
    The last year of Covid has presented so many additional challenges for the childcare centre, and they have taken it all in their stride and adapted magnificently. While the childcare centre was closed due to lockdown, they provided online sessions tailored to each age group and since reopening, we have every confidence in their Covid compliance and strict health and safety regime that has been put in place (in addition to all normal procedures in place for a childcare centre in normal times).
    The management team keep in touch regularly with parents with updates and regular Zoom sessions.
    We are so cheerful we chose Monkey Puzzle High Wycombe and look forward to seeing our son develop further there over the next few years.

    We were unable to physically look round Monkey Puzzle when we enquired however the childcare centre manager ran a Zoom call with us where we had a full tour of the childcare centre. We chose Monkey Puzzle for our youngest following a very bad journey with another childcare centre during the first lockdown of 2020. We liked what we saw and we felt a real sense of comfort from the manager therefore we enrolled. Since joining in Septem 2020 we have been thoroughly impressed with Monkey Puzzle. The cleanliness is of a high standard. Their hours are very convenient for full time working parents. The kids are all fed lovely in house-cooked meals. The team plan and implement lots of exciting playtime for all age groups on a daily basis. We are regularly kept up to date through an Early Learning App with pictures and videos of their development stages. Our 3-year-old son thoroughly enjoys childcare centre and is consistently excited to go. Monkey Puzzle also offer excellent assistance to parents too.

    The team are brilliant and my daughter has consistently been cheerful there. My daughter has been attending Monkey Puzzle, High Wycombe since she was 13 months old (now 3 and a half years) and has loved every minute. In the last year, since the pandemic, the management team have been exceptional, making great decisions based on the wellbeing of the kids and their team, not on the business. Highly suggest.

    From the moment I viewed the childcare centre I knew this was the right place for us, and my son loved it too, happily interacting with team and kids as we toured this childcare centre (he’s been here since June 2019).
    The team are incredible, so hardworking and attentive. Choosing a childcare centre is probably one of the biggest decisions I’ve made as a parent and Monkey Puzzle has by far been the best place for my son. I adore that this childcare centre has a real family sense to it and I know that my son is in the best possible care while I am at work.
    The development I have seen in my son has been incredible, he is such a bright, chatty and welcoming little boy who grows and develops every day.
    I saw a number of nurseries in the High Wycombe area and this is the only one I felt cheerful to leave my son at.
    If you are looking for a childcare centre in High Wycombe then look no further than Monkey Puzzle!

    In January there was a covid case within the baby room, I was immediately notified and told to pick up my kid and begin self-isolation, with links to government websites too. This pandemic has been a tough one for childcare centre carers and parents alike but at monkey puzzle that have been incredible at keeping parents updated at every step.
    The childcare centre continued supporting my kid and kept a virtual childcare centre going so my little one had an opportunity to still see her friends virtually and sing songs and participate in activities.
    I am so impressed with the way the team at Monkey Puzzle are handling the situations that arise (covid 19).
    My little one loves attending childcare centre and runs through the gate at drop off to see her friends and key workers.

    Really excellent updates from the team and we consistently sense like our kids are cheerful. Both our kids absolutely adore this childcare centre – it’s a real community – we could not suggest this childcare centre enough.

    The resources in place for the kids to develop, learn and be creative are excellent.
    Especially in this COVID situation where change is expected regularly, the team have adapted proactively with the interest of the kids as a priority. My kids have attended Monkey Puzzle for several years now, I can not thank the entire team enough for everything that they do on a daily basis. The entire team are exceptional, accommodating and consistently flexible to parents needs as well as the kids. It’s a true family!

    She and we adore it! Our daughter has been here since she was 7 months and is now in pre-school. The team are excellent, especially the management team. They do excellent activities and there are lots of 1 on 1 care with the kids. The chef is excellent and has definitely helped with introducing our daughter to new tastes. It is a truly kind, attentive and welcoming family! Can’t suggest it enough!

    I initially chose it due to a feeling I had when I visited; all the nurseries seemed great – welcoming team, cheerful kids, spotless enough etc but Monkey Puzzle ‘felt’ like the right one for our kid. I have had at least one kid attending Monkey Puzzle since 2016 and currently have two kids there. I have not been disappointed.
    I’m not saying that everything has consistently been perfect. I don’t believe this would definitely be the case in any childcare centre but Monkey Puzzle has been excellent the majority of the time and most importantly, both kids adore going and have learned so much whilst there.
    All the team are consistently very welcoming, go out of their way to help you and they are all genuinely interested in the kids, which is the key thing as it means I trust them completely.
    Thank you to all the team!

    A friend recommended Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery High Wycombe and I went to see them. I began looking at nurseries with a close proximity to the railway station and was unhappy with my search. On arrival, the manager for the babies room helped me with a tour. I then enrolled and had a few settling in sessions. From these sessions, I saw how loving and attentive the team were. I was apprehensive at first as I am a first-time mum and have to commute into London. However, my daughter seems very cheerful and in the photos I receive she is consistently playing. I have also noticed team roll up her sleeves and have a bib on her when feeding her. It’s small details that make me appreciate the team. The area is also very spotless and team spray and steam the areas during sessions and I have noticed the bedding is also very spotless. The managers and admin team are also extremely supportive so I consistently sense I can speak to them. I am so pleased to have found this childcare centre.

    They just ticked all the boxes for us. I would definitely look no further than Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery.
    The team are very attentive, supportive and professional. They are trying their best to meet our needs, which I am very pleased about.
    It is a pleasure to see my precious boy going happily in the childcare centre and leaving with a smile. He is very attached to his key worker.
    He is discovering something new every day and he is socializing with lots of other kids.
    Many thanks, Monkey Puzzle.

    I am so amazed at how much commitment all the team give to all the kids in their care. Over the last three years, I have had both of my kids go to this childcare centre. I am constantly reassured that my kids are okay in eating, discovering, developing and having strong interaction with other kids. I’ve seen both of my kids be so independent and delight in going to childcare centre. I look forward to pictures and videos to see what the kids have been up to which the childcare centre do on a daily basis. I would definitely highly suggest this childcare centre to all my friends and family.

    He has gone from being clingy to wanting to go to childcare centre every day. Our son is very cheerful here, he’s felt cheerful even though we are aware he is a little behind the curve, the team have been truly supportive and positive to him. High praise to the team who is engaging and so lovely to all the kids, and management who has truly improved communication with parents.

    It has had ups and downs in that time but the team have consistently been attentive and kind and she has consistently loved going there. Our daughter has been attending Monkey Puzzle since she was 1 and is now in the preschool room. We are truly cheerful with it now the new manager and preschool room leader are in place, and sense they are preparing our daughter well for school. She has made very great friends, the team have gradually encouraged her independence and she has truly enjoyed discovering about the various topics preschool have covered this year (especially dinosaurs and Chinese new year). Unfortunately, she had several changes of key worker until she got to the Preschool room but she bonded well with her main keyworker in the baby room who helped her settle and her main keyworker in Toddlers was truly excellent with toilet training. Her keyworker in preschool has been stable and she has a great bond with her.
