Our daughter has been attending Monkey Puzzle since she was 1 and is now in the preschool room. It has had ups and downs in that time but the staff have always been caring and kind and she has always loved going there. We are really happy with it now the new manager and preschool room leader are in
place, and feel they are preparing our daughter well for school. She has made very good friends, the staff have gradually encouraged her independence and she has really enjoyed learning about the various topics preschool have covered this year (especially dinosaurs and Chinese new year). Unfortunately, she had several changes of key worker until she got to the Preschool room but she bonded well with her main keyworker in the baby room who helped her settle and her main keyworker in Toddlers was really great with toilet training. Her keyworker in preschool has been stable and she has a good bond with her.

I would look no further than Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery.
They just ticked all the boxes for us.
The staff are very caring, helpful and professional. They are trying their best to meet our needs, which I am very pleased about.
It is a pleasure to see my precious boy going happily in the nursery and
leaving with a smile. He is very attached to his key worker.
He is learning something new every day and he is socializing with lots of other children.
Many thanks, Monkey Puzzle.

I have had at least one child attending Monkey Puzzle since 2016 and currently have two children there. I initially chose it due to a feeling I had when I visited; all the nurseries seemed good - friendly staff, happy children, clean enough etc but Monkey Puzzle 'felt' like the right one for our child.
I have not been disappointed.
I'm not saying that everything has always been perfect. I don't believe this would be the case in any nursery but Monkey Puzzle has been excellent the majority of the time and most importantly, both children love going and have learned so much whilst there.
All the staff are always very friendly, go out of their way to help you and they are all genuinely interested in the children, which is the key thing as it means I trust them completely.
Thank you to all the staff!

Our son is very happy here, he's felt happy even though we are aware he is a little behind the curve, the staff have been really supportive and positive to him. He has gone from being clingy to wanting to go to nursery every day. High praise to the staff who is engaging and so lovely to all the kids,
and management who has really improved communication with parents.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.396)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.396) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery High Wycombe is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 9 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 4.880 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery High Wycombe is calculated as follows: ( (95 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.88

  • 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 4.516 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery High Wycombe is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 73 number of registered child places is 14.6. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.6 = 0.616

  • 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.
