The staff form strong, genuine bonds with the children. It is obvious how well they are getting to know him and this is reflected in the feedback they provide. Our baby absolutely loves his food and always has something new to try each week, and plenty of it!
The owners and management team are so approachable and always receptive to feedback and happy to answer any questions we may have. We are already seeing how he is thriving from attending the nursery and we are thrilled with our choice of setting.

Reply from V Dasor, Owner at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Chesham
Thank you for your feedback. As we have discussed since you submitted your review, your child had attended our setting for three half day sessions over the course of one week, which we feel is an inadequate period of time to make an overall judgement about any setting. Your child was still settling into the nursery having not attended a nursery for 15 months due to COVID. Given some more time we feel your child would have made great progress getting them ready for school and into a new routine. Our staff understand the difficulties many children have faced coming out of the pandemic and provide comfort for all children, especially new joiners. We reviewed the CCTV footage of your child which shows he has been well cared for. At such a young age, children often do not play with one another however, they are always encouraged to play alongside each other to build those social skills. We’re sorry your experience has not been what you had expected.
Regards
Monkey Puzzle Chesham

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.700) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Chesham is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 5 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 4.783 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Chesham is calculated as follows: ( (47 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.783
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 3.917 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Chesham is based on 5 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 = 3.5
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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.417
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.

Job Title: Nursery Owner and Director
Joined: 2024
I am so pleased to be taking over Monkey Puzzle Chesham as the new Owner and excited to see all the positive changes I have planned and made come to life already. My main focus has been community events and partnerships, improving the indoor children’s rooms and cleaning up the garden.
Chesham is very community focussed which I love, so we have arranged many exciting outings such as visiting the dentist and doctor, a trip to see Dear Zoo at the Elgiva Theatre, visits to the 2 closest care homes as well as and having the PCSO to come and visit us. I am in the process of painting the nursery and making the setting look more inviting for the children and staff. We have a new incentive called Monkey P’s where the staff are rewarded with points which amount to vouchers if they receive Employee of the Month, or Room of the Month if a visitor or parent mentions them positively.
The feedback from the parent survey highlighted that they wanted the children to be outside in the environment more, therefore I have arranged a trip with Chiltern Railways to visit the stream where they will look at how to take care of the area and have a look at what is in the stream. The nursery is growing and we are making amazing changes to ensure all children are getting the very best from our lovely setting
