September 10, 2024 at 4:14 amI’m sure my kids will miss their Monkey Puzzle family as my eldest still speaks about them even after being at school for two years. The management team are great always helping where they can, and going above and beyond to ensure all little ones are cared for. The crew have great knowledge and understanding of the needs of the little ones. The team are incredible, so welcoming and kind and I never feel like I can’t ask silly questions. I have cherished my time at Monkey Puzzle Shefford. Both of my youngsters have been all the way through the childcare centre and I feel downhearted my time with them will end when my youngest goes to school in September.

October 14, 2024 at 3:55 pmThe team were warm and welcoming, and I could see that he felt at ease from the moment we walked in during our visit. My little one started at Monkey Puzzle in April this year, after visiting back in October prior year. Highly endorse! Despite only attending sessions twice weekly, and having an emotional start (super clingy, thanks to Covid lockdowns) he settled in truly quickly, forming attachments to key workers and other kids, and he comes out smiling after every session! From using the smart doorbell to manage drop-offs and collections, to the parent app used for documenting the sessions, we couldn’t be happier that he’s part of the Monkey Puzzle family.

October 15, 2024 at 2:45 pmMy older little one also went to the childcare centre and is doing so well in school because of the effort that went into the years she was at Monkey Puzzle. My little one goes to this early‑years hub and is always so thrilled to be there the personnel are remarkable with her too.

November 2, 2024 at 4:42 pmHe is always excited to go to early‑years hub, has a smile on his face and enjoys the team. Since starting nursery setting his speech has come on so well. First contact with the childcare centre we found them truly warming and cordial and the sites were great. Our young lad has been at the childcare centre now for over a year, he goes 4 days a week and treasures it! We moved down to the area just over a year ago and not only did we have to contemplate the logistics of moving, the pandemic still going on and new careers for myself and my partner we also had to find the best and most suitable nursery setting for young lad. We are really thrilled we chose Monkey Puzzle and would strongly advocate them! We came across Monkey Puzzle as it was not far away from where we were moving to.

November 12, 2024 at 1:18 pmShe has really grown in confidence and gets upset when it is not a ‘school’ day. It has such a family feel. I would so wholeheartedly suggest you to anyone. All the crew have been so lovely I can’t say enough about them. Thank you to the early‑years hub director and the nursery setting manager for how well they run the childcare centre. We cherish all the activities you offer and I can’t believe what you have got her to eat. Thank you so much for all you have done for my girl.

November 27, 2024 at 1:52 pmThank you! My young lad only started early‑years hub in January this year and at such a worrying time with also going back to work. The personnel have been so welcoming and helpful of my young lad who is already loving it. They also focus on his growth daily and I can already see such a positive difference. Monkey Puzzle has been remarkable at making the time smooth sailing for both of us.

January 20, 2025 at 7:31 pmMy little one has additional needs and the manager and her team were so encouraging throughout her whole time there even to the extent of getting her an education health support plan in place before she started school in September. The team were encouraging, reassuring and fun and we have many delighted memories of her years there so thank you! Lovely setting next to the woods, the car parking could sometimes be fun to navigate but yet it worked at the same time. My young lady joined Monkey Puzzle from May 2018 to September 2021 so went through the three rooms of Squirrels, Hedgehogs and Owls and thoroughly enjoyed every room!

February 18, 2025 at 12:08 amBoth my kids started the childcare centre when they were 1 year old and through the different stages, it’s been wonderful to see their growth from little babies through to preparing them for school. Monkey Puzzle is a great little childcare centre located in a lovely setting. My youngest youngster is at Monkey Puzzle and her older sister previously went to and cherished her time there. The team are extremely welcoming and caring, as well as encouraging independence and absorbing. I would definitely endorse Monkey Puzzle.

February 27, 2025 at 3:51 pmMy little one currently joins childcare centre in the ‘Squirrels’ baby room and he absolutely adores it. The crew are all absolutely lovely and they always have loads of different games stations set up every morning for the day when we go in. My son’s advancement has come on leaps and bounds there and always has a great day… would certainly suggest.

March 29, 2025 at 6:25 pmMy boy has made his best friends in this secure cordial space, he speaks about the personnel and youngsters all the time and enjoys childcare centre so much he is reluctant to leave in the afternoons. Both myself and my son’s mother have complete peace of mind that our little one is secure, being cared for and developing while at the nursery setting. The personnel are incredible for giving accurate and detailed accounts of what he has done during the day and his growth.

April 24, 2025 at 2:58 pmMy girl adores her time at nursery setting! My little girl has a lovely bond with her key worker, but all the girls in the baby room are great. They always seem to be doing fun activities and I like how much time they spend outside.

April 27, 2025 at 5:48 amThe crew set activities that reflect my sons’ interests and their own targets. The crew are really responsive to SEN needs and my little one is progressing well. My boys are really settled and thrilled at the nursery setting. Regular updates given, with photos, as to how their day has gone too which is always lovely to see.

May 1, 2025 at 6:08 amMy twin boys went to here from the age of 10 months until 4 years old. They were exceptionally well cared for and felt secure. Monkey Puzzle provided them with the skills needed for starting school and helped them grow in confidence and as individuals. The boys were provided with many wonderful discovering experiences and especially adored the outside absorbing area. I have no hestitation in recommending Monkey Puzzle Day childcare centre to other parents. My boys are truly active and enjoyed getting messy, expressing themselves and meditaion/yoga sessions. The personnel have always been approachable and shown genuine warmth towards the youngsters they work with. I enjoy that the nursery setting uses everyday, natural discovering experiences which include gardening, forest walks, building and physical games using every day objects.

May 4, 2025 at 12:11 pmWonderful early‑years hub. Feel extremely at ease dropping my boy off here. I would enthusiastically suggest Monkey Puzzle to anyone. Happy, welcoming and fun team who are great. They get him to eat a wide range of food and he enjoys going to the woods and playing outside.

June 22, 2025 at 7:53 amWhen your little one gets upset, it is not ‘a early‑years hub day’ you know that’s a good thing! My youngsters have went to a few different nurseries and enjoy Monkey Puzzle the most.

July 6, 2025 at 7:55 amBrilliant childcare centre! The crew are all lovely and provide you with updates regularly on their absorbing and growth. He looks forward to going and comes home thrilled. He comes home in a mess most days but that’s due to his exploring! They provide a wide range of activities with an emphasis on getting outside and exploring the natural world. My young lad absolutely adores it there.
