Our child has attended the nursery for 18 months and we are extremely happy that he is there. The space is great with outdoor space directly accessed from both the baby and toddler rooms away from the traffic. It is very well run and all the staff are very caring and attentive. We always feel our child’s
wellbeing and development is a priority and the management even show a sensible and empathetic approach to looking out for the parents needs too. We love this nursery and can only say good things about it.

Everyone at Monkey Puzzle is kind, fun, playful and extremely loving towards the kids. Our son has always been looked after with great care. Our parenting choices have always been respected and supported, in one word, the staff creates a warm environment for the families.
On every level, we can only

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Both my children have attended Monkey Puzzle, Stoke Newington and my youngest is still there. My eldest has recently started school and although he loves it, he constantly tells me how much he misses nursery. I think that is a testament to how much the kids love it there. As well as the usual pre-school
education, he was taught Spanish, anatomy, our senses, abilities and disabilities, diversity and inclusion. They have sports sessions, forest school and other great activities to get them learning. It has stood him in good stead for reception, particularly as he is the youngest in his class. My youngest (2 years old) loves nursery, she loves the excitement of being with her peers and she loves the activities - she is constantly kept occupied and busy and is very fond of her teachers, greeting them excitedly each morning. The staff are warm, friendly and always available. I appreciate greatly their flexibility and will do their best to accommodate your needs and your child's. Highly recommend.

Wow, thank you ever so much for this great 5-star review! It's a pleasure to have your children at our nursery!

Our son absolutely adores his nursery and his key person in baby room. The staff are incredibly caring, the atmosphere in the nursery is always very happy and everybody is always smiling. We as parents, highly recommend Monkey Puzzle, Newington, as we know our son is left in very capable hands.

I consider Monkey Puzzle in Stoke Newington a very good nursery. My son is very happy there (doesn't want to go home!). The staff are very friendly and helpful and the manager is always there to answer any questions or concerns should there be any. I tell by my child that he's learned a lot during his
stay there. I really like it.

We’re very happy with Monkey Puzzle Stoke Newington. Our daughter seems to continually thrive there with the support of a lovely team of people. They do lots of activities with the children and take them for many outings too. The food menu is very vast and nutritious which is also very important to
us. I’d highly recommend this nursery to other local parents.

We are very pleased with our decision to put our child at Monkey Puzzle Nursery. She has created strong bonds with the staff and she is very happy there. We are impressed with her development over the last three months. The staff are professional, friendly and attentive to the children’s needs. The
facilities are good and it is great that children get to go out every day whether at the park or on the terrace.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.567)

Overview of Review Score

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.

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 4.567 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.

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!
