My son has been attending for 3 months now and is in the baby room. He loves it there and me and my wife have trouble trying to get him to leave. I really love the fact that I'm able to see pictures of what he has been up to on my laptop on my lunch break. He seems to really enjoy the food was a bit
worried has before he started was a really fussy eater. The girls in the room are great and really friendly and always give me a detailed handover of what he has enjoyed going. I would gladly recommend nursery.

My son has been going to this nursery since he was 7 months old and I love the care that he receives. The baby room was such a caring and lovely room with attentive staff my son grew brilliant bonds with all of them. He is now in the Tweenie room and again has such a lovely bond with his key person
and he is extremely fond of her. It's so comforting to know I can leave him and he has that person for support and care.

My Grandson loves going to this nursery. I often drop him off and pick him up, he’s happy to go to the staff in the room and they take him to go find his friends to play with. When I pick him up he’s always engaged in something and I love seeing his artwork that gets sent home. He tells me all the staff
members name and talks about his friends, I would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bexleyheath.

My son attended this nursery from the age of 2 right up until he started school! I cannot fault the nursery at all, he loved it and I loved it. He made some great friends and built lovely bonds with the staff!! It was easy to leave him knowing that he was happy to be there and in good hands! He is now
doing so well in school and settled in so quickly and I cannot thank all the amazing staff more as they prepared him for his new adventure!! There were lots of tears from everyone on his last day and he still talks about Monkey Puzzle now!!

My first child attended Monkey Puzzle when it first opened in 2013 and stayed until going to school last year. My second child joined in November 2017 and we are very happy to see that the nursery has not lost any of its unique points. The owners are always around, it is clean, the staff are amazing
and very attentive. I love the updates we receive and the online journal is fab.

My son has been attending this nursery for a few months now. I was a very nervous mum to leave my child for the first time but the staff made my child and our family feel very welcome. All staff are approachable and my son enjoys his time here. I am looking forward to watching my child grow and to work
his way through all the rooms in the nursery. Management and owners are very polite and helped with all my worries and give me regular update via phone about my sons day. Strongly recommend this nursery.

My child has been at this nursery for 6 months now after moving from another local nursery where they would not settle. My child immediately settled at Monkey Puzzle and instantly built strong bonds with the staff. The Nursery is very clean and welcoming and all of the staff are very friendly. My child
has been on trips such as the park, farm, library, dentist (which has helped him overcome the fear of seeing the dentist). They have had the zoo come to them as well.
My son loves taking part in Tot Stars and Theatre Street and also loves the sing and sign class which they do. Moving my child to this Nursery was the best thing I ever did.

We've just sent our second child to Monkey Puzzle, our first graduated last year, we are just as pleased with the nursery the second time around. It's a bright and fun space for children with lots of equipment, toys and fun activities, always lots of messy and educational activities going on. Particularly
pleased they now offer sing and sign. Staff are easy to approach and talk to, they really listen and take on-board what we have to say and our little one loves all the staff in the baby room. We love that they take the kids out on regular outings, they recently visited a local farm, our little one can't get enough of animals and so were in their element.

My grandson has been attending the nursery for the last year. It’s always a pleasure picking him up every Friday has his always very talkative about the fun he has had and can’t wait to show me all his artwork in his box. He has really come out of his shell and become a confident little boy. The staff
are always polite, friendly and kind girls, it’s a really good nursery and I’m glad my grandson has a wonderful time here.

My son has been attending Monkey Puzzle for the last 6 months, I am extremely impressed with his development in this time and the level of care he receives every day that he attends the nursery. I'm a first time Mum and one of the hardest things to do is to leave your child but the staff are all very
friendly and kind so made it a lot easier knowing his in safe hands. I would highly recommend the nursery.

Our eldest child had happily attended Monkey Puzzle Bexleyheath in the past and so there was no question when it came to putting our youngest in there recently. Our little man couldn't be happier he absolutely loves going there, he loves all the staff in the baby room not to mention the decor, he is
particularly drawn to the black and white safari mural on the wall in the room. I thought the place was already amazing but things only seemed to have gotten better, love the fact that they offer sing and sign for all the kids, they seem to have new and improved IT equipment and new outdoor equipment which compliments the already nice colourful outdoor play area. We like the fact that they often take the little ones out for trips including visits to the local park and farm.

I am glad that we found Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bexleyheath to look after our child while we are working, everyone at the nursery is friendly and approachable, unlike some other nurseries which we went to look at previously. Our child is excited every morning to go to nursery and has learnt so much
since being under their care! There is a wide variety of nutritious meals available for the children everyday, our child has had the opportunity to try many different meals which he may not have had at home which is great as he is able to try new things.

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.
