It was daunting looking for a nursery in preparation for going back to work, but the wonderful staff and excellent facilities made Monkey Puzzle an
The management is very proactive with their communication and keep me updated with upcoming activities and events. They use an app to let me know how my daughter gets on during the day and update it with observations including some photos.
I thoroughly recommend this fantastic nursery.

The facilities at Monkey Puzzle Sidcup are second to none and there is much to keep my very active son entertained throughout the day. Staff are caring and it is clear that management invest time in child development. I am also kept up to date with my child's learning and daily diary online.
Nurseries can provide more of a babysitting service rather than truly looking at positive ways to develop the children in their care. Thankfully the Monkey Puzzle nursery in Sidcup falls into the latter category and I hope that this continues as my son really enjoys being there.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.826) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Sidcup 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 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 4.897 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Sidcup is calculated as follows: ( (140 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.897
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 4.929 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Sidcup is based on 13 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 70 number of registered child places is 14. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.929
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.
