I'm quite happy with the nursery, and my child has become really social and independent. She enjoys her time very much with the kids and nursery workers. We love to see our child learn, play and grow at Monkey Puzzle. A big thank you to the staff for taking care of her.

I am so over the moon with how well my child has settled in, as a parent I found it quite nerve-racking when initially sending her but her development and happiness have shown me that choosing Monkey Puzzle was the right choice. The team have been so accommodating and amazing through the whole transition.
Thank you, team.

Monkey Puzzle Welling has been amazing since my son started last year. They've really put my mind at ease. From day one he hasn't wanted to leave at pick up. His key worker and all the staff call me when he bumps his head or feels unwell. They give me a full handover every day including nappies, food
and overall care. I am so glad I found this nursery. The team is wonderful. 5 stars.

Monkey Puzzle has been more or less like a second home to my daughter.
My daughter loves coming to nursery and she enjoys being there. Moreover, she has learned a lot of new things and has improved on her manners, communication style, eating habits and so on. I'm very pleased with all the teachers
and the other staff at Monkey Puzzle. They are very professional, friendly, attentive, kind and supportive. I wish all the best for Monkey Puzzle and all their staff in all their future endeavors.

I'm very pleased and impressed with the care my daughter receives. The staff are friendly, caring, nurturing and attentive. They're competent and do everything they can to ensure her needs are met and she enjoys her days. There especially understanding of my long commute and do everything they can to
ensure it's comfortable for her. For example making up a bottle for the journey and changing her before we leave. Thank you to her wonderful key worker and the brilliant staffer the peace of mind you give us while we work.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Welling 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 5.000 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Welling is calculated as follows: ( (312 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 312 Ratings = 5

  • 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 Welling is based on 26 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 78 number of registered child places is 15.6, which has been reached with 26 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.
