My grandson has really come out of his shell in the last year. His confidence has grown and he clearly loves going to Nursery and enjoys his days with you all as he chats all about his day as soon as he gets home. It's so lovely to hear about all the things he has been up to. He also no longer gets
upset when I drop him off in the morning which makes me feel so much better too
I can't thank you all enough for all that you do

When our daughter was just a few months old, we researched and visited around 15 nurseries in the area to find the best fit for her. We took the task very seriously, documenting our findings on a spreadsheet. We chose Monkey Puzzle primarily because of the incredible staff we met during the process.
For us, caring and friendly staff were the most important factor and we haven't regretted our decision for a moment.
Our daughter has been attending the nursery for a year now, and the experience has been amazing. The staff are exceptionally caring, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to accommodate any request, which we deeply appreciate.
We'd like to give special thanks to seven staff members in particular for their hard work and dedication. You all make a real difference, and we're so grateful for everything you do!

My son started in Baby Room just over a year ago and took a while to settle in. Each member of staff was amazing, as was the settling in program that they offer- which is tailored to each child. He now loves going in and seeing his friends. There are 3 different age related rooms, which means that activities
are always age appropriate, as is the ratio of staff to children. I've been very impressed with all the activities and learning is evident when he comes home. The main reason we selected this nursery is that, when we first visited, each room was having fun and this certainly is the case! He never comes home hungry and they have meals and snacks throughout the day. I have loved that, when numbers permit, they take them out to a local park. I always feel as though he is well looked after and safe.

We love Monkey Puzzle! Two of my boys have been at Monkey Puzzle from the time they were babies - one from seven months and is still there, currently in the preschool room and the other started from one and graduated from preschool last year. Our third baby will be starting there in a couple of months.
The staff are wonderful and caring, and my boys have formed strong bonds with their carers in each of the rooms. The facilities are clean and colorful and the rooms are refreshed regularly and set up daily with excellent and creative activities for the children. They supported the boys along the way, eating a wider variety of foods, using cutlery, potty training, putting their coats on, socializing, etc.
I highly recommend this nursery! We started with our first child there in 2020 and have seen the nursery go from strength to strength over the years. It’s a fantastic early years setting.

My child loves it here. Since being here, she’s talking a lot and sings all day long; she’s built up so much confidence that she can converse with an adult now and has toilet trained herself at age two years four months, and the nursery has been keeping up with it there too, so far so good. She gets
to explore everything here that I would never be able to do or let her do at home. She behaves so well for them and even eats fruits and veg here that she wouldn’t at home.

My daughter joined the nursery 3 years ago and started in the baby room, she is leaving in September to start school! She has learnt so much and made such amazing relationships with the children and staff at the nursery. They go above and beyond with events and activities, the staff are always uploading
lots to the app so you in can see what she is learning about!
The teaching is truly amazing she recognizes her name, numbers and talks about being kind to her friends and shows excitement to learn new things at nursery!
I cannot thank the nursery and staff enough, for all the love care and nurturing they have shown my daughter. They have helped prepare her for school taught her to be confident and resilient in life.

My son has been attending Monkey Puzzle Eltham since he was 11 months old. He has progressed through the different age groups, from baby to toddler and now pre-school. I am confident in the care provided by the dedicated and enthusiastic carers. They address any concerns promptly and organise engaging
activities for the children. In addition, they arrange extra activities, such as sports led by trained teachers, Spanish lessons, and opportunities for the children to interact with animals like ducklings. I had no doubts about enrolling my daughter in Monkey Puzzle Eltham as well. She always seems content when I drop her off in the mornings and I look forward to seeing her transition through Monkey Puzzle.

Monkey Puzzle Eltham is a great nursery. The curriculum is fun and educational and keeps my little one interested. I can see the progress he makes and how much he learns about each topic of the month. I am always well-informed about what is happening at the nursery and know that any query I have will
be answered quickly.

I just want to thank all the teachers/caregivers for all your hard work. Both my children are always happy. I know they are safe and very well looked after and that’s very important to me as a parent to know my children aren’t being neglected. Very friendly, loving and welcoming, just like an extended

I have started dropping off and collecting my grandson from Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery as my daughter has returned to work after maternity leave. The staff are lovely and my grandson is very happy to go to any of the staff members who come out to collect him. I am included on the family account and look
forward to receiving emails with photographs of the activities that he has been part of during the day. It is very reassuring to know how settled he is there and how much the staff care for him.

The carers at Monkey Puzzle Eltham are wonderful and always organising creative activities for the toddlers to do. They are very caring while also focusing on the children's development. Our son is really attached to the carers in the toddler room and happy to go to nursery. The garden at Monkey Puzzle
is also a fantastic space that they make lots of use of, including for sports lessons, which our son loves. Management at the nursery is excellent - they are welcoming and extremely responsive by email and phone. The use of the app for information about how much our son has eaten and how much he's slept during the day is also great.

As a first-time Mum I could not have picked a better setting for my little man.

We really recommend this nursery - we have had 2 of our children attend and our third is due to start later this year. Every room has been such a great experience, they have a brilliant schedule of varied activities and the staff are so welcoming and lovely, they know every child so well. They are
really effective at making the children happy, our daughter loves going in to see her friends and we love hearing the stories of her day. Our daughter who left for primary school was so confident after being in this setting it really eased the transition into school for her.

My daughter started at Monkey Puzzle in August 2023, from our show around at the nursery it instantly felt right. We were shown all elements of each room, the structure of the day and exactly what developmental goals the staff would help our child to achieve.
It’s clean, bright, spacious and fun.
Children are taken outside every day which is so important, they are encouraged to play together and independently and our daughter loves it she goes in and out so happy every day! The staff eat with the children and my daughter eats things I could never get her to eat at home.
As a full-time working Mum, it’s what I need to be able to walk away and know my daughter is well cared for.
Everyone is really nice and friendly and they love the children so much!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.882)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.882) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Eltham 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 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.882 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Eltham is calculated as follows: ( (366 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 407 Ratings = 4.882

  • 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 Eltham is based on 34 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 65 number of registered child places is 13, which has been reached with 34 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.
