Since joining nursery my daughter has developed in so many ways. She is more confident and balanced and loves going to the nursery every morning. She looks forward to meeting her key person every morning. We love all the teachers who are warm, caring and very professional. I would definitely recommend
this nursery to other parents. Thank you so much for making the difference.

Our biggest fear was having to go to work and leave our daughter in tears at a nursery she hated, but Monkey Puzzle Enfield has been the complete opposite - our daughter has attended this nursery since June 2018 and absolutely loves it there! The nursery itself is still relatively new as it opened 2018
and appears much cleaner than many other nurseries I viewed (which was very important to us). The staff are all so lovely and it's been so nice seeing the bond our daughter has made with them. Most importantly the development we've seen in our daughter has been amazing. The best decision we ever made was to enrol our daughter into a nursery and we're so happy (and feel so lucky!) that we found Monkey Puzzle Enfield!

I am happy my son is well looked after there and staff have been good when he has been unwell. I have no issues apart from the fact I would like an update on activities done in the day on the app and whether he has been outside or not. I appreciate this is time-consuming but one update could cover everyone
in explorer group. Also, he is hungry when he leaves nursery so not sure if portions are small but this is a minor issue. I feel he is in safe hands but I would just like to know more what he has done in the day.

Reply from David Francis at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Enfield

Thank you for your valued feedback.


In regards to our online parent communication app, we understand that keeping parents up to date throughout the day is very important nevertheless, recording accurate individual naps, sleeps, meals etc… does require some time. Therefore we tend to update our systems at the best available time whilst upholding our commitment to keeping children safe and quality teaching and learning. We also ensure parents receive feedback at the end of each day which again is personal and tailored to each child.


In regards to meal times, we provide children with breakfast, 2 snack times, a two-course lunch and hot tea which are all in line with The Food Standards Agency and NHS Portion Control for Children. Our highly trained staff use a number of different strategies, depending on a child’s age and stage of development, to encourage eating. Our seasonal menus are very diverse and our experienced and qualified chef ensures that the children experience a range of foods from around the world. Nevertheless, we value each and every feedback and look forward to working with you on making your experience here with us a much better one.

There really is not enough good things I can say about the nursery. It is bright well matained and very good. The outside is good with mixture of real grass and astro turf with a road. The staff are always happy and helpful. Little one is always keen to get there in the morning.

Our son started at Monkey Puzzle in March 2018. The development over the 5 months has been immense. The Nursery staff have shown such dedication and commitment to developing his cognitive skills has been outstanding. Cared for, taught new skills, by very skilled and trained staff.
As first time
parents, Monkey Puzzle put our worries at ease and the staff gave us confidence that we had made the correct choice in Nursery. The family app is a welcomed addition and extremely useful to check on his daily activities.
We both highly recommend Monkey Puzzle, as does our son!

My son was very well looked after. It was a pleasure to have him attend Monkey Puzzle, the only reason we left is because the location is a bit too far. Other than this, all the staff were wonderful. Thank you.

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.
