We are extremely happy with our experience at Monkey Puzzle Bromley. Both of our children have had a wonderful time there and the staff are incredibly caring and supportive. We would highly recommend this nursery. The staff all all very friendly and welcoming and genuinely care about the children. They
took the time to get to know our children and their individual needs. The nursery is clean, bright, and well-equipped. There's a lovely outdoor play area which can be used in all weathers as it has a covered roof and there is always a wide variety of indoor activities. The activities are engaging and stimulating. The children are exposed to a wide range of learning experiences, including art, music, sports, and phonics. They often go on little trips during the day and both of my children have enjoyed extra activities such as French and yoga. The preschool room has a strong focus on preparing children for school, introducing them to phonics, numeracy, and social skills development.

Thank you for your kind words and recommendation! It's great to hear that your experience of the nursery has been positive for both your children!

My child has been attending this nursery since he was 11 months old which was earlier than I had wanted but I had to have an operation so we needed some help. I am a very protective and emotional mum and they totally respected that and still make sure that their communication ensures that I feel my
child is safe and cared for. We are so impressed with the professionalism and number of the staff, cleanliness and number of activities in the rooms, their two lovely chefs and it just feels like a happy and safe environment to be in. The key workers that we have had absolutely adore our child and it is such a pleasure to see them. The reception and management team are also really friendly and approachable. My only wish-although I know they are in a town- would be for more open-air outside space; the activities they have in the space available are great though. Highly recommend.

Reply from Nick Huddart, Operations Manager at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bromley

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your views and this lovely feedback on the nursery. We will continue to spend lots of time out in the garden as well as continue with our range of trips on a regular basis to support the children's experience of their local community!

We are really happy at Monkey Puzzle Bromley. We joined when my daughter was eight months last summer. We were pleased that the settling-in period was two weeks rather than just one to really help my little one adjust. My daughter, unfortunately, fell ill (unrelated to the nursery) and required surgery
and additional needs, and the staff at the nursery, especially our key worker. We have had so much support through a family bereavement with flexibility to add additional dates at short notice. We know that our little one is well cared for, she is entertained and stimulated and engaged throughout the day, and get regular updates on her fun through the app.

I would 100% recommend this nursery, my son has thrived and enjoys attending this setting. The staff have been excellent in their communication, support and also the level of care they provide to my son, staff are always willing to take time and provide in-depth updates on pick up and also complete
weekly observations via the app, so I am aware of how my son's day has gone and also areas of development. The manager also goes above and beyond and has built a great bond with my son, she has demonstrated effective leadership and has a good rapport with the children and staff from what I have observed, the Nursery provides good communication and relevant updates to parents on a weekly basis. I feel confident leaving my son in their care and have not had any concerns.

I could not recommend this nursery enough, my children moved here from a different nursery setting, and the staff team were welcoming to both myself and my children. The settling-in process is robust and supportive of both children and parental needs, I felt at ease leaving my children here and knew
their needs would be supported. The nursery operates a key person approach and this has offered my children consistency when going to nursery each day, they often speak about their key persons on the weekend, and can't wait to run into nursery and see them on a Monday Morning.
The facilities are great and the garden is covered meaning the children can access this in all weathers.
Staff plan stimulating activities for my children each day, and I know their learning is being supported and this is shared with myself on a daily basis during handovers.
The nursery uses an app to capture moments at nursery and I receive lots of photos and videos of my children so I don't feel I am missing out.

We are so pleased we chose to send our daughter to Monkey Puzzle Bromley. We feel so content knowing that she is in the care of such kind, warm and friendly staff. The team work so incredibly hard to provide stimulating and fresh activities for the children. Our daughter is always happy upon pick up
and talks nonstop on the way home about how much fun she's had throughout the day. The daily updates received via the app on her development, eating and sleeping habits are an added bonus and reassurance. We could not recommend this nursery enough, thank you for taking such great care of our little girl!

Monkey Puzzle is a terrible nursery. I have reported them to the Council and they have been issued with a letter of concern by them. The garden is small and mediocre. The management are rude and try to silence every complaint they have. They discriminate against funded parents and charge them more than
non-funded parents as described in my review on another platform. The management bullies parents. They have been reported to Ofsted twice in 2020 and only achieved a “good” from Ofsted despite being the most expensive nursery in Bromley. I have heard nothing but issues from them. My 3 year old was placed in toddlers despite her being more suited to preschool. I keep hearing bad stories from parents since my daughter began. My daughter is now signed up to an Ofsted outstanding nursery who apply the funding correctly. Terrible nursery! They provide a supermarket's own label food and try to sell it as “premium”.

Reply from Nick Huddart, Operations Manager at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bromley

Dear Francesca, I’m sorry to hear about your experience at our nursery. Parent partnerships are very important to us, and we take all feedback seriously and hope to find solutions for our families, working together to ensure all children receive the best possible care.
We have worked closely alongside the local authority to ensure our funding is correct and would like to reassure you that our families accessing funded hours are not charged any differently to our non-funded families.
Healthy eating is very important to us at Monkey Puzzle Bromley, and the children are offered a nutritious menu, we regularly seek our parent’s feedback around our menus and often add new dishes recommended by our families.

We now have two kids at Monkey Puzzle Bromley, one who started at 11 months and is due to begin school in September. We love the kind, family feel of the nursery and the care that is shown to our children is incredible. Both kids are happy to go in and never come home upset. We are kept well updated
during handovers as well as getting a good amount of entries on their learning journals. In addition to the support that is provided to the children, parents are treated in a similar way, with staff always greeting us with a smile. We are happy to be able to work knowing that our children are so well cared for. We couldn’t fault Monkey Puzzle, the staff, the chefs and the management - they make our lives so much easier. Thank you for everything!

We could not rate this nursery, the staff and its managers more highly. Every team member has cared for our children so amazingly - the love and attentiveness they have shown has meant that our children have felt very happy and settled in every room, and have formed very strong bonds. The team has also
brilliantly supported us through phases such as potty training and “dealing with emotions”, which has helped us at home too.
The nursery offers many activities for the children such as French, yoga and music; no two days are the same. The weekly observations and accompanying photos give a great insight into nursery life! They also put a lot of effort into school readiness in the final room, which made the transition much easier for my daughter when the time came.
The management team are very visible and they will always take the time to discuss anything with us.
We could not recommend Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery more and when our son leaves to start school, we will really miss being a part of it!

Monkey Puzzle, Bromley day nursery is a great place for kids. There are separate rooms for kids in different age groups. Each room has got a bunch of staff with a team leader. My son has been going to the nursery from the age of 6 months and now he is 4 years old. During this period we have seen his
development and it is absolutely brilliant. He has developed good social skills, his potty routine is great, he can eat himself at this age without making the place dirty(quite important) and he is very vocal and is not shy to open up and express his feelings. The only complaint I have is about the constant revision of fees and in the context of inflation it is very challenging for us.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I’ve been incredibly pleased with all of the staff at this nursery. I was very anxious when our daughter was going to start nursery, but the 2-week transition sessions really helped.
Our daughter loves her time there already and has made close relationships with the staff. Staff provide lots of updates
when we arrive for collection, and also fill in helpful daily diaries which show the food, drink and sleeping times etc. My only problem is the use of two separate apps. The LJ Parents app does not send notifications at all, so we have to manually check every now and then to see what’s been added. Key messages are then shared via a separate app, so we’re checking two apps which is quite annoying. My ask would be for all correspondence to switch over to the Family app asap.
Overall, I’d definitely recommend this nursery and I would like to thank everyone for their great care and support so far.

I cannot recommend Monkey Puzzle highly enough. When you leave your children in someone’s care you truly want them to have a home-from-home experience, surrounded by people who are as interested and passionate about their well-being and development as you are. Monkey Puzzle really is that nursery. I
made the difficult decision to move my daughter from a nursery where she was very unhappy - there were tears at drop off and she would wake up begging not to go. From her first induction at Monkey Puzzle, she made an instant connection with her key worker and other members of the team and she has flourished. She talks so fondly of the adults she is with, tells me stories about her friends and, so far, no tears at drop off. I could not be more relieved and am so grateful to everyone for making us all feel so welcome. We love spending time at pick-up watching her play and talking with the fantastic members of staff. We really could not be happier, thank you!

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.127)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.127) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bromley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 10 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 4.606 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bromley is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.606

  • 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 4.521 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bromley is based on 10 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.521

  • 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.

Job Title: Early Years Co-Ordinator

Joined: 2019

I am based at our Bromley branch but I also support our Orpington and Tunbridge Wells nurseries.

I have worked in Early years for over 10 years and I could not imagine doing anything else. I love being a part of watching the children develop and grow, supporting them to reach their personal milestones.

I have previously supported and led Ofsted inspections supporting nurseries to achieve Outstanding outcomes. I felt extremely proud that we had achieved the highest standards for our families and team.

I have had experience in a variety of different roles, I started my childcare journey, newly qualified as a bank member of staff. I was offered a full time position as a nursery nurse and not long after I became a Room Supervisor and began to develop my leadership skills.

A few years later I was given the opportunity to work as a third in charge in the nursery. This is where I gained more managerial skills and began the children and the teams across a range of ages. After a few years, I was a Deputy Manager where my passion for supporting children continued to flourish and I added the role of SENDCO, supporting children with additional needs and further developing our inclusive practice.

I continue to support many children with additional needs, their families and our staff teams with children’s learning outcomes working closely with the Bromley Borough and relevant agencies.

As part of my role, I support with providing enabling environments and with the quality of teaching and learning.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and going on holiday to visit new places.
