Dear parent, Thank you for sharing your experience. We sincerely apologize that your settling-in period in February did not meet your expectations. At that time, we were transitioning to new management, and due to a miscommunication from the previous team, we regret that you weren't informed about the change. We understand how important transparency is, especially in childcare. During your visit, the nursery was undergoing upgrades as we recognized the need for improvements. We communicated that new furniture and equipment were on the way, and we're happy to report that the nursery has since been fully updated. Our staff, dedicated and caring, were ready to assist, and we apologize if our support didn't meet your expectations. We value your feedback and would appreciate the chance to discuss the positive changes we've made since. Please feel free to contact us directly. Best regards, Cayden Herbert

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.567) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Stoke Newington 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.567 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Stoke Newington is calculated as follows: ( (112 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.567
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 Stoke Newington is based on 11 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 49 number of registered child places is 9.8, which has been reached with 11 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager
Joined: 2023
When I was in Year 6 my teacher asked me 'What would you like to be in the future?' I said 'a teacher' and... here I am! (Also being the grandson, son and brother of teachers helped a little)
Teaching and spending time with children has always been my passion and, to do it in such an inspiring environment is all I can ask for.
Job Title: Nursery Owner
Joined: 2023
I am Cayden Herbert, a passionate qualified teacher from South Africa and the owner of Monkey Puzzle Stoke Newington. I have spent my life surrounded by children. My mum owns a nursery school back home, where I took full advantage of spending most of my spare time learning and helping. This is where my passion for child care and teaching began. A passion which naturally progressed into a career where I went to university and studied teaching in EYFS and Primary school.
I have many years of experience teaching in primary and nursery schools and it has always been a dream to follow in my mum’s footsteps and be a part of running a nursery.
I am so excited to join the Stoke Newington family and help your little ones grow to be the best they can be!
