After having to change my son’s nursery, it was a scary decision but as I knew a couple of the girls and having a lovely show around from the manager I knew that sending him to Monkey Puzzle was the right decision. My son really enjoys his time there. He has learnt so much, his speech has come on dramatically
and his eating habits have become much better! I want to thank all the girls at Monkey Puzzle who have made the process such a good one and especially the ladies in the toddler room who show so much care for my son.

We have seen our child flourish in this nursery! The parents and the child are all very happy and the nursery is highly recommended. The staff, the teachers, the activities, the food, the safety of the children are all at a very high standard and we never had any concerns.

My granddaughter thoroughly loved her time at Monkey Puzzle Enfield. The staff are very professional, loving and caring. Activities are varied with a combination of learning and play. They bring out the best in your child, encouraging and supportive.
During the pandemic, we were kept up to date and
knew they had difficult decisions to make, at the same time putting the children first.
I would strongly recommend Monkey Puzzle.

I love Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Enfield, the nursery has truly transformed my daughter. I like the fact that they understand the child’s developments and all the staff are professional with a really strong passion for the children.
I like the fact that the nursery is clean and pays close attention
to hygiene.
My daughter loves the nursery, she joined in March 2019 when she was 1 and a half.
I recommend Monkey Puzzle to any parent looking for their children to have an excellent experience.

I visited Monkey Puzzle as a pregnant, first time, anxious mum, probably 4 years ago now when the nursery had just opened its' doors. It was apparent from the offset that the franchise owner had big ambitions for Monkey Puzzle Enfield, from the food to the equipment, to the staff and the facilities
they have always aimed high and still to this day have high expectations for how they run the nursery.
Throughout the pandemic, we were kept well informed, and with nursery staff put in such a tough situation, they have been absolutely outstanding. Smiles during tough times, advice when you need it, a real feeling of togetherness - and you know that they do truly care about your little one.
My son loves attending this nursery, he has made great friends, his fussy eating has practically disappeared and he learns so much each week that passes. Importantly he loves his carers. We will be sad to leave for primary school in 2022!
You will be very lucky to gain a place at this nursery!

Our son attends Enfield's branch of Monkey Puzzle and really loves it. We've found the activities for him to be really varied and educational and he comes home most days having learnt something new.
Both my partner and I are freelance and sometimes we have to put our son into nursery at short notice
- we have found the management to be extremely accommodating and quick in responding.
We couldn’t recommend Monkey Puzzle Enfield more highly!

My son has been at Monkey Puzzle Enfield since he was 10 months old and is now leaving at age 3 due to a family relocation. We have had a very positive experience of Monkey Puzzle. My son has benefited hugely from the variety of activities, caring nature of the staff and the right balance between play
and learning. It really has shaped him into the inquisitive little person he is today. Throughout COVID the team at Monkey Puzzle have shown fantastic teamwork - putting the safety of the staff and children first whilst still making the nursery a welcoming place to be. I really couldn’t rate Monkey Puzzle more highly and I know my son will miss it greatly. Thank you Monkey Puzzle team!

Also, the nursery is conveniently located within easy reach of public transport - an added bonus for parents commuting to work straight after drop off.

I am exceptionally pleased with how this nursery serves the needs of my baby and family. Going back to work earlier meant more anxiety about childcare but I am so glad I found this provider as they do an amazing job in all areas and alleviate all my anxieties.
Particular favourites are the constant
updating of parents about their child’s progress, ways to support at home and the caring staff, they care as though the children are their own! They are overall a very professional organisation and I would (and already have) recommended them to others.

Monkey Puzzle is a great local nursery, it’s very clean, modern and up to date which appealed to me. The food is all freshly prepared too which is a plus. My little one loved it there due to the staff who are great. We are first time parents so leaving him was not easy but we did feel very confident
with this nursery. Thank you Monkey Puzzle. Keep up the good work.

My daughter has been going to Monkey Puzzle for a few months and she absolutely adores going to nursery. She loves her teachers in preschool and talks about them everyday and what she has learnt. My daughter has become so much more confident in herself which we are very happy to see. The staff and management
are amazing and create a safe and family orientated environment. The garden space is very big where children can play freely in either the artificial grass area and the natural area. The teaching and activities that we have seen are exceptional. My daughter is learning Spanish and British Sign Language, as well as participating in drama classes. We are so happy we found Monkey Puzzle and have recommended the nursery to all our friends. We can not praise the nursery enough!!

This nursery is really good as I’ve seen a good outcome in the development of our child. I have recommended it to a friend but due to the distance they couldn’t send their child there. The staff are doing good work with the kids. I can only say well done. So far so good

Fantastic staff and nursery. The baby room is perfect and my child has really bonded with the key worker. If the nursery sees something that needs your attention they bring it up to you immediately. When picking up my child in the evening, staff always take out 5 mins to tell me how the day was and
what the babies have been up to. I am thinking of putting my baby in more days.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.975)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.975) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Enfield is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.975 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Enfield is calculated as follows: ( (118 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 121 Ratings = 4.975

  • 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 Enfield 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 55 number of registered child places is 11, 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.
