My daughter has been attending Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Eltham since she was four months old. I planned on her attending for one year while I finished my degree but we fell in love with the nursery and my daughter blossomed so beautifully that she is still there now, almost three years later! We have had the best experience at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Eltham from the baby room, through to toddler and now up to preschool and my daughter absolutely loves it. Anytime she does feel anxious about attending nursery all the staff are really reassuring and encourage her to feel confident and comfortable. Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Eltham always goes above and beyond to be accommodating and supportive to both myself and my daughter. The quality of care is excellent and the way the children are allowed to grow and explore is exactly what my daughter loves. She talks warmly about her teachers and friends at home and we truly couldn’t recommend Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Eltham enough.

A huge thank you to all staff and management for always showing such brilliant care.

My son joined Monkey Puzzle Eltham in February 2020, for a couple of days a week, in the baby room. He struggled to settle in at first but as we started to turn a corner the pandemic hit. After being at home for 3 months, I was anxious about him returning, however, the staff at Monkey Puzzle were ever so helpful and reassuring and together, we agreed he would return but move into the toddler room. Best decision ever. He came on in leaps and bounds within a matter of a few weeks, his key worker and other staff in the toddler room are fantastic and my son loves all of them. It’s so wonderful to watch him jump with excitement, as we arrive each morning. My son will soon be moving up to the pre-school room and as much as it is daunting, I’m really excited for him to make the move and to watch him grow in confidence. All the staff I’ve had interaction with, are polite and always happy to go above and beyond to help.

A big thank you to Monkey Puzzle.

I have been using Monkey Puzzle for a year and ultimately, I’m happy for my child to still be there. The kids seem happy and mine is always smiling when they come out. The room teams and management are quick to respond to concerns and help with development plans if needed.

I particularly appreciate the daily books outlining what they’ve done for the day.

I’ve got nothing but good things to say about Monkey Puzzle Eltham. My 2-year-old absolutely loves going to nursery, always full of smiles at drop off and pick up. I feel completely comfortable leaving him knowing he’s having lots of fun, learning lots and feels loved and cared for. Daily communication is always thorough, as are the periodic developmental reviews and monthly newsletters. The activities are fantastic, much more imaginative than we could do at home!

The staff are all warm and fun and clearly genuinely care for the children which is the most important thing in my opinion.

My granddaughter has been attending Monkey Puzzle for almost six months. I am so impressed with the quality of care she receives. She shows visible excitement when arriving at the nursery and she is hitting her targets well ahead of her predictions. The songs she recognises and the actions she does to the songs are so cute ‘Wind the Bobbin Up’ being her favourite. All the staff behave in an extremely professional way and are child-centred, they take time to listen to me if I need to discuss her and are extremely good and giving feedback at the end of her day at Monkey Puzzle.

I cannot thank the staff enough for giving my granddaughter a safe, happy and nurturing environment to ensure she thrives.

My daughter was so nervous to start nursery after turning 3 in September, especially after such a long time of not seeing other children during lockdown. All of the staff have been fantastic, they have comforted her and made her feel safe, after just a few weeks, she has already made new friends and there are no more tears, I am confident that soon she’ll be running to go in the door.

Couldn’t have asked for a better team than the staff here.

My son has attended the nursery since the baby room and is now in the pre-school room, he always comes back smiling and his key workers have all been amazing in all rooms. The nursery is very well organised and informative.

I cannot wait for when my 2nd son starts soon in the baby room in a few weeks.

Love this nursery! My son joined in the baby room and has now moved up to the toddler room, he used to hate leaving me and would cry, now he runs to the door. All the staff are absolutely amazing, kind, caring and patient. Since being at the nursery my son talks so much more and has learnt loads. He is quite shy but they have gained his trust and he doesn’t stop saying his key worker’s name now. They are always doing something new with him so he is never bored and the outdoor space is unbeatable! I love receiving bits that he has done and seeing in his contact book all the things he has got up to. So much love there he is definitely staying until he starts primary school and any more children I have will be joining in the future.

I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone. Thank you to all the staff!

We are so lucky to have this wonderful nursery close to us, my daughter has been attending the nursery for a few years and has experience of all the rooms and she has truly thrived in their care. All the staff are so friendly and helpful and the office is very efficient at dealing with any queries. My daughter is happy upon arrival and happy at the end of the day and we love hearing her stories when she comes home, we are amazed at all the things she picks up.

We would definitely recommend Monkey Puzzle.
