2 years on, staff in toddlers and pre-school have taken extra care for transition for my sensitive boy. I am always impressed with their set-up in big outdoor areas and inviting learning opportunities - my son loves puzzles, construction, role play, books and French! I also love the trips and shows! The staff regularly update his learning journal online with videos and I add my own too. Have recommended lots and will keep on!

The physical
All the staff in the baby room are wonderful, caring and clearly dedicated to their work. They really appreciate and nurture each child's little character rather than providing schedule-based 1 size fits all care.
The manager is extremely supportive in facilitating and supporting us as working parents and we have developed a working relationship allowing flexibility when needed which
has been invaluable.
Our daughter loves Monkey Puzzle and we highly recommend it.

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.067) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bedford is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 5.000 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bedford is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
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 3.067 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bedford is based on 1 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 = 3
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 75 number of registered child places is 15. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 15 = 0.067
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.

I really enjoy sharing new ideas and experiences with them. My hope is that I can create a fun, exciting and caring learning environment. I have a lot of patience, enthusiasm, creativity and enjoy helping children (and adults) to discover new things. I want to create an environment that is exciting and fun for the children and my staff. As long as children are given, love, support and encouragement they will succeed.
