    My son absolutely loves Monkey Puzzle. He has been to a previous nursery before, but has settled in like home here! He absolutely adores everyone who works there and calls them his best friends! His key person goes above and beyond for him and I can’t fault her. The manager is absolutely amazing! She is so welcoming and reassuring.

    My daughter has been attending Monkey Puzzle since July and loves it. She talks about it every day and loves all of the girls there.
    The Famly app they use is great and keeps you constantly updated about what your child is up to making it so much easier to leave them.
    I also love how the girls take extra time to chat to you about what your child has been up to throughout the day when you collect them. A very personal and caring service.

    My daughter absolutely loves it here, she genuinely doesn’t want to leave! Staff are incredible and care so much about the needs of your child. Couldn’t be happier! Thank you all so much for being so wonderful.

    Monkey puzzle is such a lovely nursery. Bright and spacious rooms with creative activities set up. Lovely outdoor space. Healthy and tasty food served up that my daughter loves. And most important of all, lovely staff. Kind, friendly, caring, professional, and more. I feel so comfortable leaving my daughter with them.

    This nursery has so far been outstanding. We changed nursery to send our child here and needed to do the settles quite quickly. The level of care, communication and attention to our child has been exemplary. The baby team are incredible. Always happy, interested and interactive with the babies. Having a lockdown baby not wanting to be left anywhere, they have been extremely patient, kind and resilient in making sure our child settles correctly and meets her needs and likes. From the settling-in sessions to the feedback each day, they have been incredible. Would highly recommend this nursery.

    I can’t rate the setting and staff at Monkey Puzzle Loughton highly enough. Our little boy started just after his third birthday and it has been his first experience of a nursery setting, having been in lockdown for the best part of a year so he took a little while to settle in. His key workers have been fantastic in reassuring both him and me during the settling process, with regular photos and updates on their app to put my mind at rest. Having been a very fussy eater I had resigned myself to the idea that he probably wouldn’t eat anything there, but now he regularly eats meals that he’d never touch at home, I don’t know what kind of magic his key people are working! The nursery itself is really smart, in a lovely building with a garden that our son loves. This is our only experience of a nursery so far but I can’t recommend it highly enough.

    I thought my son would never settle anywhere, we tried different nurseries, nannies and a childminder. Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery managed to do it and now my son sings songs about his teachers! My son also has a number of allergies and the nursery staff have taken this very seriously and accommodated his specific dietary needs.
    An amazing management team, they always make themselves available so communicating with the nursery is never a problem. My son’s teachers have formed a lovely bond with him, I am so very impressed with them all.

    My son recently started at the Monkey Puzzle Nursery Loughton and I have to say I am very impressed with the whole team. My son seems so happy there. I receive regular updates during the day when he attends the nursery.
    Also, I would like to mention the cleanliness and overall standard is excellent.

    My daughter loves going to nursery at Monkey Puzzle in Loughton, the staff are friendly and professional. My daughter attends 2 days a week. It says it all when she counts the days when she can see her friends at Monkey Puzzle.

    My daughter has attended this nursery since it opened and we honestly couldn’t be any happier with the staff, the facilities, the daily updates we receive on the app and most of all, how happy our daughter is after a day at nursery. I have recommended this nursery to a number of family members and friends and will continue to do so!

    My son was among the first children that registered with Monkey Puzzle Loughton. We had a bit of a bumpy start with the opening day being delayed and some organisational issues at the beginning but the management team was quick to resolve all my concerns. The settling period was also a trying time for both of us but once I saw that staff were genuinely interested in making him feel comfortable and safe, I also felt at ease. Gradually I could see how his special interests have been incorporated in the activities with his keyworker designing tailored activities for my son to enjoy. They were attentive to my own input and need for feedback while being very kind to accommodate discussions with me whenever I needed to (whether ad-hoc or scheduled). And they still do, which I am very glad to see.
    My son’s keyworker and the team have earned my trust and hope that as their team grows the high level of care and practice will continue.

    Cannot praise the team at Monkey Puzzle Loughton highly enough. They are absolutely great with my child. The facilities are great and the regular updates via the app are very helpful. So good that our other one will be starting with them in the coming weeks. Thank you!

    My daughter joined Monkey Puzzle when she was ten months old. Although it took some adjustment the team were incredible in helping make this transition as seamless as possible. My baby is now fifteen months old and loves nursery so much that she doesn’t want to leave! The team are great and I couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you!

    The nursery provides a great environment for my daughter to learn and develop. Daily new activities and fun games to incorporate learning into play. The care and attention the staff provide is evident, my daughter often speaks of the staff as her friends and is comfortable to express emotions. Communication is provided daily and even trips outside the nursery setting. I am confident the nursery supports her and will prepare her as she transitions to school.

    I am very happy having my daughter at this Nursery as it’s hard enough to leave them when they are small. It took a while for her to settle but they were very kind to both of us and she is very happy going. The staff I deal with put my mind at ease and they really look after my daughter to help her learn, especially making it fun at the same time. The app is great too so you know what is going on throughout the day with your child. If staff change they are quick to inform you which is great, especially in your child’s room. What attracted me to this Nursery was it was very new when she started and not a tired place, the rooms are bright and clean as you want a nice environment for your children. Highly recommend.

    The staff are constantly doing things with the kids to keep them engaged and learning which is lovely to see.
    Communication is great here, constantly updated throughout the day which is so lovely.
    I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery.

    My son absolutely loves Monkey Puzzle Loughton! He can’t wait to go each day and even asks if he can go on the weekends! The team care for him so much and it really shines through. I love that the staff aren’t afraid to get stuck in with activities and show the children what fun education looks like!

    My grandson is so happy at Monkey Puzzle Loughton. He is blossoming under the care of the team. The nursery is clean and well thought out and his room is set out for different zones for activities and play. Each day the team plan different activities for the children. My grandson has fun while learning and is developing well and is a confident happy inquisitive boy who is learning in a safe environment. Thanks to all the Monkey Puzzle team at the Loughton day nursery.

    Excellent experience in toddlers! We started the nursery a year ago and it really has gone from strength to strength. Our key worker always gives 100% and we are so happy watching our daughter learn new things every week. Under the manager’s guidance, this nursery has become a great one and would definitely send any future kids here!

    Monkey Puzzle is a fantastic nursery and my little boy absolutely loves it there.
    The staff are amazing, very approachable and understand the needs of each child.
    They have a variety of activities for the children every day and lots of healthy food options cooked on-site by the chef. I’m so happy with Monkey Puzzle and have loved watching my baby develop there with all his friends.
    Highly recommended.
