Monkey Puzzle is a great place for our daughter's daycare. She always enjoys going and really has a great relationship with all the 'grown-ups'. She also really developed whilst being in their care. Thank you!

My daughter started in the baby room 2 weeks ago, initially she used to be very upset when I was leaving. The team have gone above and beyond to make her feel settled. I enjoy seeing the updates on her day. She is always laughing and doing fun activities. Thanks team.

My child joined Monkey Puzzle when he was 9 months. From the very beginning, it has been a stress-free experience with every member of staff always helpful and putting us at ease. My child settled in wonderfully thanks to the great communication and with everyone being on hand for any questions and
making the whole process work for both us as parents and our child. Would highly recommend.

My son has been attending Monkey Puzzle Bexleyheath since Sept '21. The nursery is spacious and clean, with designated areas for play, nap and meal times. The outdoor garden is securely fenced, ensuring privacy of the children at all times.
Regular cleaning is evident and I've observed staff consistently
cleaning all areas of the nursery. I consider all staff caring and attentive, and they have built a strong relationship with my son. They are patient and skilled in handling children with varying needs - this is relevant as it has taught my son to be conscious of the needs of other children.
I receive daily debriefs on my son's activity for the day which includes meals, naps and toilet habits. The nursery also employs an online portal that lets us see pictures and videos of activities during the day.
The nursery has a diverse range of activities from arts and crafts, messy and outdoor play. They introduce basic educational concepts which my son enjoys.

My son joined Monkey Puzzle when he was one, he has now been here for nearly three years and he loves it.
All the staff are kind, friendly and go the extra mile. They document his activities and what he has learnt. The food is always fresh and tasty and my son loves playing in the garden.
I would
highly recommend them for their care, passion and kindness and for making it feel like a family. Thank you for making it easier for a mummy to return to work and not have to worry about her beautiful bubba.

My daughter loves the nursery. She can't wait to go every morning, and it is clear that everyone in the babies room, as well as in the other rooms really cares about her and have an interest in making sure she's happy, safe and well cared for.

My eldest started Monkey Puzzle in January 2016, fast-forward to 2023 and my second child and my third have also been at Monkey Puzzle. My youngest will be leaving in August 2023, and after seven years I will miss the place. The staff are brilliant, so attentive my children have never wanted to come
home! It's a wonderful nursery, I would always recommend it - thank you for the past seven years.

Our daughter has settled in very well at Monkey Puzzle, she loves her key worker and all the other staff. The care she receives is excellent and we feel she is looked after very well. We love to see the videos and photos of what she has been up to that week and always looks like she is having fun.

I felt very welcomed by the staff when first meeting them, my child seems to really enjoy it and I am happy with her settling in with the nursery and other children. I think the environment is great and suitable for parents who want to enrol their children into safe and welcoming environments. The facilities
are good and clean, I am confident that my child is well looked after.

My son has been at this nursery for just over 6 months, he was only 6 months when he started, I was very worried about how he would cope at such a young age but I cannot fault the staff at all, they went above and beyond to make sure both I and my son were happy and he settled so quickly. I love the
app they have, I get pictures and videos of him daily so I can see he is happy and cared for while I’m at work. The girls were so helpful during his weaning, they were so informative about the food that would be served each day so I could manage exactly what he ate and decide whether it would be puréed or not, even though he was in their care I was completely in control during the weaning stage and that was so important to me.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bexleyheath 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 58 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 58 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 5.000 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bexleyheath is calculated as follows: ( (695 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 695 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bexleyheath is based on 58 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 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 140 number of registered child places is 28, which has been reached with 58 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
