After visiting numerous local nurseries and childminders, we settled on Monkey Puzzle
From the very start, all the staff were welcoming and it felt happy and friendly. My daughter took to it immediately.
The number of children and the setting seemed to allow the children to have an element of freedom, but with confines of structure and the routine, they need.
Feedback at the end of each day is always based on what she has learned, worked on and developed in that day.

I appreciated how adaptive they were to drop-off/pick-up times. On occasions, they looked after him at short notice which I was exceptionally grateful for. Every parent is regularly updated on activities and progress, with additional photos/paintings. I even received a report to take for his 27 month NHS review.
I would have no hesitation recommending this nursery to anyone, especially for that home-from-home environment. Sadly my son is moving on, but we will always have fond memories.

Reply from Jane, Manager at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Tatsfield
Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate you taking the time to complete the review. With regards to taking home the diary, this is possible and any parent is welcome to take their child's diary home by arrangement. Drop off and pick takes place outside the room as a rule in order to maintain the 'no shoe' policy, cause as little unnecessary disturbance to the remaining children as possible and also so as not to compromise safety. However, any parent wishing to come into the room to see their child is welcome to do so, just let us know.

I like the informal feel of the nursery and the fact that everything is provided from food to nappies and sun cream.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.833) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Tatsfield is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.833 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Tatsfield is calculated as follows: ( (120 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.833
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 Tatsfield is based on 12 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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2, which has been reached with 12 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.
