    But what’s truly lovely is how much everyone cares and the creativity and passion they put in. It’s a lovely atmosphere and we adore the updates, photos and observations we are sent. We are delighted that our daughter is part of this childcare centre. The team, care, activities and outdoor discovering space are absolutely fantastic at this gorgeous childcare centre.

    You can tell they care and delight in their job.
    Highly large space for kids to playtime and so much variety of activities. Highly inventive and well organised! Highly inviting and welcoming carers with lovely, thorough updates throughout the day.

    Big selling points were the exceptional facilities, the room settings for the different age groups and the childcare centre values. Our little one had never stayed with anyone other than her parents before so we were apprehensive about the settling in process (and beyond). We need not have worried! The management and the entire team are all fantastic, not only exceptionally expert and well‑informed but they also genuinely care about each individual kid and adapt their style in order to get the best from them and to help them to flourish. Our little one settled highly quickly, formed an incredible bond with her key worker and we have seen huge development in her self‑assurance and development ever since. She is excited to go to childcare centre every day. It’s a second family for her. It can be a daunting process choosing a childcare centre for your little one but we could not be happier with our choice. Exceptional childcare centre! Our little one joined Monkey Puzzle Hither Green in February as a 17 month old.

    It was a challenge for all of us at home to adapt to this new stage, the childcare centre, however, truly made it easier as we saw our son adapting and enjoying his time at the childcare centre over the weeks. Exceptionally pleased with the care, attention and professionalism displayed by the childcare centre and its team, during the first month of attendance for our son.

    We moved from another local childcare centre and it was a breath of fresh air, excellent team and leadership. The team clearly genuinely care and they apply best practice. Our son’s development truly accelerated, he has a excellent time each day and does lots of enjoyable activities. Feedback is timely, well considered and developmental. Remarkable from start to finish.

    They are all highly nurturing towards kids and I am highly cheerful to be sending my daughter there and see the exceptional kids’s development. Monkey Puzzle is a exceptional childcare centre, with lots of space and excellent activities organised by the team for kids.

    Our youngest was the first baby in and we have had such an incredible journey.
    The boys adore going to Monkey Puzzle every day and the team are incredible.
    The garden is just huge, perfect for busy boys.
    Finally, the daily updates on activity are remarkable. The carers keep the kids entertained all day with so many activities and give us full updates as and when needed. We have both our boys here age 1 and 3.

    He is still settling however I sense they are doing everything possible to help him build his self‑assurance and he has built lovely relationships with the team. The food is obviously highly great as he eats it all (and more!). It’s a truly bright and spacious with a lovely garden. Absolutely fantastic and dedicated team who have gone above and beyond to assistance my little boy to transition to a childcare centre setting.

    We started there in January 2023 and are going there for 5 days a week. She gets to do so much enjoyable and engaging activities there with her peers and care workers. At the end of the day, she still has lots of energy left so I consistently know she has had a excellent (but not tiring) day!
    The team are attentive and welcoming, and consistently has a big smile on their faces.
    The facilities are truly great – large bright and spotless room with lots of activities, toys and books, direct access to a massive garden and forest school area where the kids get lots of outdoor playtime.
    We adore getting multiple updates on the Famly app throughout the day on all the enjoyable things my little one and her friends are getting up to. The extended opening hours (730-630) is also a big plus.
    Overall, this is an outstanding childcare centre which I would not hesitate to suggest to others. My little one loves going to this childcare centre.

    The team are incredible, with such a inviting, attentive mindset. They truly make an effort to keep us informed about any concerns regarding our son, changes and developments as well as ongoing efforts to meet his individual needs.
    The setting is spotless, spacious and welcoming. There is an app where updates and pictures are regularly uploaded. This childcare centre is an incredible place and we couldn’t ask for a better childcare centre.
    Our son has been going there for 3 months, he absolutely loves this childcare centre and we sense that he is valued and loved there.
    The management are highly inviting, responsive, competent, assuring and truly committed to providing a secure, attentive, enjoyable, and loving setting and we’re exceptionally thankful to them as well as the whole team.
    Please keep up the excellent job that you all do! Our son joined this childcare centre at only 3 months of age and being so young, we were initially highly anxious about finding the perfect place to care for him and to promote his development.

    We have two kids at the childcare centre and both have settled in exceptionally well. The setting is light, spacious and inviting, and the team are outstanding, attentive, engaging, creative and enjoyable!
    The outside space was a real selling point, a big garden with a forest school area which gets well used whatever the weather but we have also been truly impressed with the scope and variety of daily activities, including trips outside childcare centre and baking!
    Updates from the team is another highlight, daily updates from the rooms show the range of the activities (everything looks so enjoyable!) and weekly individual feedback on your kid highlights a particular activity or discovering point. Seeing pictures and videos of our eldest engaging in her first phonics and maths activities has been truly touching.
    I would not hesitate to suggest Monkey Puzzle Hither Green to prospective families. We have had a stellar journey with Monkey Puzzle Day Childcare centre.

    Lovely large rooms, a variety of activities and excellent outdoor space. Fantastic journey so far, our 8-month-old has settled in truly well and all team are welcoming, expert and experienced.

    My kids were some of the first in the setting. We have seen the childcare centre grow and the care and attention they receive has remained consistently outstanding.
    We adore the garden space and the independence they have to delight in all areas of playtime. We absolutely adore the childcare centre.

    My kid was having some behavioural updates issues, and the SEN teacher has gone out of her way to gather resources and create ways in which they can help. They’ve been incredibly compassionate and provided us as parents with additional information on what we can also be doing at home. We sense our kid is thriving here and consistently runs into childcare centre without a backwards glance, excited to be there with such a exceptional team of carers for the day and friends they have made. The rooms are bright and well stocked with toys and activities that encourage creativity, discovering and a thirst for exploring. We couldn’t be happier here after a bad journey at a previous childcare centre. The outdoor space is also outstanding, with a forest school area at the back. The team at Monkey Puzzle truly do go above and beyond for all kids here!

    I couldn’t be more pleased with the choice I made for my first childcare centre journey. Everyone is exceptionally lovely, welcoming and with excellent energy. From the highly first moment, I have received a lot of reassurance, flexibility and willingness to go the extra mile to assistance my baby’s needs. Sense my baby is in excellent hands and everyone truly cares for him. Remarkable management, remarkable team, remarkable setting.

    Our daughter has attended the preschool group since December 2022 and genuinely loves the whole journey from the creative playtime, baking, playing in the large garden and interacting with the carers. The childcare centre is highly well managed and we adore the focus on creativity and discovering. A big thumbs up from us! Monkey Puzzle Hither Green are outstanding!

    The team make every effort to ensure that the kids are cheerful and stimulated as well as keeping us informed on a regular basis with detailed updates both on the app and in person. They set up different activities every day which are well thought through and my daughter especially loves the messy playtime!
    They have an incredible outdoor area so there is plenty of space for them to run around in the fresh air and I have been truly impressed that they have also been taken to the park. When I have made suggestions, they have taken these on board and actioned them which has been appreciated. Overall we are highly cheerful. Our little girl joined just before turning one year in January 2023 and we have had a excellent journey with Monkey Puzzle so far.

    The childcare centre provides a wide range of facilities in a large, bright space. Every day the kids participate in a number of activities, it’s fantastic to see. We’re so looking forward to watching him thrive in this setting! Our son (22 months) started only 2 weeks ago and we couldn’t be happier with the care he is receiving.

    The Monkey Puzzle team have totally exceeded my expectations. They are welcoming, attentive and nurturing. My baby has grown in self‑assurance and clearly enjoys her time there so much. As a first-time mum, I was unsure of what to expect from a childcare centre.
