My three-year-old daughter has been attending Monkey Puzzle West Kensington for over a year and we are very happy with her progress. She always comes home very happy and full of stories about her friends and the interesting things she has been doing. The updates through the app are great as they give
a great insight into her day and we can chat about it with her in the evening. The staff are always friendly and communicative with us the parents and they are so caring and gentle with the children. Our son is joining the baby's room in January which is lovely and bright full of fun things to play with so we're very happy about the fun days ahead he will have there.

Monkey Puzzle West Kensington Nursery has recently added new staff and it has made a huge difference to the experience of sending our child to nursery. Handover at the end of the day are thoughtful and thorough, updates on the app are detailed and show that planning reflects the children's' interests.
We now receive warm welcomes on arrival which encourages our child to enter the nursery confidently and independently. We really are pleased with the changes being made to the building too - the gardens are much more suited to the age group and seeing artwork on the walls is a lovely addition.

Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery West Kensington is a fantastic nursery. Our daughter has been going there since she was 10 months old, and she's now 3 and a half. It has helped her development immensely and she loves going there every day. The staff are all very kind and loving and attentive. They play so
many different games and do different activities every day, as well as dancing, singing and counting in different languages. The setting itself is really great, very spacious, with two playgrounds. The food is freshly cooked every day. Our daughter loves the food actually! And it's great to follow the updates on the app as to how her day is going. Our older son also attended Monkey Puzzle from the baby room all the way until he started primary school. Overall we're really happy with our choice of nursery and would highly recommend.

We love Monkey Puzzle! The staff are kind, caring, and attentive. The facilities are great, and the setting is always so clean. Everything is included, even down to meals for our little one who has an intolerance. Meals are always nutritious and delicious, she eats better at 'Monkey School' than at

Our daughter started here as a toddler when we moved to the area and is now in preschool. The creativity of the staff and amount of activities they do always amazes me. It has contributed lots to her learning and imagination. The food is varied and somehow they manage to get her to eat things she would
never try at home, which is fantastic. The hours are great for working parents and was the reason we looked at Monkey Puzzle in the first place.

My son has been going to Monkey Puzzle West Kensington since he was 14 months (he’s now 26 months). We’ve found the nursery to be excellent. The staff are wonderful and management accommodating and easily contactable. It was a bit rocky to start for my son as he’d only ever been at home with me but
he loves it now and has thrived immensely. He is becoming a confident kid not just at home but with other children in social situations. I feel at ease knowing he is in a safe and loving environment and well looked after. Thanks to all at Monkey Puzzle West Ken.

A very well run and organised nursery. Originally chose them because they were more flexible than other local nurseries, but have since found them to also be very inclusive, diverse and professional.
Since attending, my daughter has improved noticably in her language of comprehension skills.

This is my son's first nursery, and Monkey Puzzle did an amazing job settling him in. Recently, we experienced a sewage flood at home, and the nursery went the extra mile to care for my child. They offered additional days, which were extremely helpful during these stressful times. The app they use to
update parents about the child's activity is really good. Many thanks to the manager and the team for such great care.

Reply from Rochelle Anderson, Manager at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery West Kensington

Thank you so much for the positive feedback. We are so happy that your child settled in so well so quickly. The staff are always available to support parents and carers in stressful situations, and it was a pleasure to help out with the additional days, so you could sort your home out.

Super impressed with this nursery. We choose this nursery for our first child who was 14 months at the time which was super nerve-racking and an unfamiliar new experience for us but they have been fantastic from day 1. Our daughter is in the baby room and she absolutely loves coming here, she loves
the nursery practitioners in her room, they are all brilliant with her. Well-fed every day, fantastic activities carefully planned out, outdoor play and she is allowed to explore independently too. The level of teaching and learning here is great and she has come in leaps and bounds with communication and overall development. The app also makes us feel so included as parents, with the end of the week updates, pictures, daily routine documented including nappy changes, food eaten, sleep duration. Also, we regularly get an in-depth weekly update on her development which is personalised for her and shows the dedication to each child. Brilliant nursery!

Thank you so much for the positive feedback. We are thrilled that your daughter has settled in well and is making great progress in her learning and development. Our dedicated team of nursery practitioners are full of inspirational ideas that enhance every child's imagination. We are pleased that the nursery portal is providing lots of verbal and pictorial communication to show your child's progress.

My daughter has been at this nursery for around a year now and is so happy there! The staff and new management are extremely supportive and have done a great job with exploring ways to increase her development and I believe she’s really thriving now! Everyone is kind and fellow parents are also friendly.
The nursery has an app to update you on your child’s development and what they’ve done throughout the day and it includes pictures, which is an awesome pick me up if you ever have a tough day at work.

The team at Monkey Puzzle are really friendly and helpful. Our daughter was only 8 months when she started and we were new parents so we were a bit nervous. But they were very helpful from the beginning. She has now been there a few months and loves it in there. She is developing so quickly and is clearly
very fond of the nursery staff.

I have seen a very good improvement since the new manager arrived. The app is constantly updated with information about the kids and the activities they do daily, this is very helpful and useful for us parents to be aware of what our kids do. The room leader in the babies room is extremely nice and
she cares a lot about the kids. Also, the practitioners in the toddler rooms are very nice. In the babies rooms, a lot of fun activities are done every day and my son is learning a lot and very much enjoys his days.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.287)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.287) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery West Kensington is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.674 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery West Kensington is calculated as follows: ( (32 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 46 Ratings = 4.674

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 3.613 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery West Kensington is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.375

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 84 number of registered child places is 16.8. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.8 = 0.238

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
