Absolutely amazing Monkey Puzzle Day Greenford Nursery!
They go above and beyond for every child!
They provide an amazing childcare service with professional and dedicated staff, where the children come first and always return home happy and excited. The ladies are always very friendly and welcoming
and answer every question you have.
The rooms are very clean, bright and comfortable.
Everyday different activities, the kids cannot be bored there for sure.
It definitely deserves more than 5 stars.
They really care about child safety, they always call you to confirm that you agreed for your child to be picked up by someone else (even is on the list). We will miss them all so much. I recommend them from the bottom of my heart.

My son attended Monkey Puzzle Greenford from when he was 1-3 years old, we only left the nursery as we were moving out of the area. We were really sad that we had to move nursery as he was so happy there. His development was excellent and the staff were so caring and professional. The staff are excellent,
extraordinarily kind and loving to the kids. One staff member made a goodbye card specifically from her to my son as she was so sad to see him go.

Truly a wonderful place for kids...the best in the area. From the beginning, it is felt that the atmosphere is full of understanding, respect and a positive attitude towards a child and parents.
Monkey Puzzle Greenford presents very high standards, a variety of activities for little ones, invitations
to parents to take part in common sessions like gardening day, teachers with positive attitude and great engagement, management with heart to do their best...always helpful.
graduation day...speechless.
Thank you Monkey Puzzle for having us...we miss you already!

My child has attended Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery since June 2023 and settled in quite quickly despite it being her first experience of a nursery setting. This is truly a testament to the staff at Monkey Puzzle, who are very warm and welcoming with both parents and babies. They have been very communicative
from the start, building a relationship with my child and ensuring I am updated each and every day with her progress. It is a great environment for children to grow, great facilities and excellent care. I highly recommend Monkey Puzzle.

We had the absolute best experience with the staff at Monkey Puzzle. Our little one was 12 months old when she started and this was her very first experience of the nursery setting. She adjusted quickly and the staff at Monkey Puzzle were very communicative, kind and patient with us as we navigated
the process. We never imagined we would feel so happy and content with a childcare provider. Each member of staff developed their own relationship with our little one. They have great activities for kids and mark a range of cultural and religious celebrations. The food is nutritious and cooked on-site. The only reason we left Monkey Puzzle was because we left the UK. Overall we would really recommend this childcare setting.

My child has attended Monkey Puzzle for the last 11 months, at first like all parents I was apprehensive about leaving my child in a new environment, however, the managers and staff made me feel at easy, comfortable and with peace of mind about leaving my baby every morning.
Fast forward to now and
my baby has now progressed to the next stage and into the toddler class. I have watched him learn and grow and go on to develop bonds with his teachers and other children in his room.
Within the nursery my child is safe and more importantly he is happy. When he was part of the baby room, he was content and happy to go every morning (there were more tears from me at the beginning) with his key person and the other members of the team. Now he is part of the toddler room, he can’t get out of his pushchair fast enough to get to class and join his friends.
From my experience I would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Greenford to any parent!

My child has been attending for 2 years. We initially put him into nursery to develop his social skills. Happy to say that he gained confidence by attending nursery. Monkey Puzzle offers a wide variety of food. He’s vegetarian and eats and tries a lot of food when there.
They have great facilities
and large rooms. Highly recommend for parents looking for a nursery in the Greenford area.

My son started with Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery when he was a year old. As he was so young, I was so anxious about how he would be in a new environment. Surprisingly, he settled in quite quickly. Since then, every time I drop him off he quickly goes to the staff and is so excited to start his day that
he hurries to kiss me goodbye. I can see the progress with his speech and social skills and for this I am very happy with our choice of nursery. The staff and manager are so supportive and accommodating with our requests. I can also see how much they care about my son's wellbeing. The nursery is clean and well kept. I would definitely recommend Monkey Puzzle to everyone.

My daughter has been going here for a year now and absolutely adores it. The staff are extraordinarily caring and it shows: she speaks about them all the time at home in the most positive way and she loves them dearly. As a parent I feel informed, supported and also feel like the nursery is a very friendly
setting for me and my child. The facilities are also really lovely, which contrasted quite significantly to some other nurseries in the area as their toys, furniture and other facilities are all of such a good spec and quality. I honestly could not recommend this nursery enough.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

At 2 years and 3 months (and a lockdown baby), my son was still very clingy to me and scared of the outside world when we joined Monkey Puzzle. As a first-time anxious Mum, the thought of leaving my son anywhere without me was very very difficult but the staff at Monkey Puzzle were so patient with us
both and gave us the time and understanding that we both needed. I was impressed with the nursery from the outset. It was very clean and very well thought out. But it's the staff that make the nursery the fantastic place that it is. Every single member of staff has been so kind and accommodating.
My son is a different boy from the one who started Monkey Puzzle a year ago. He's gone from crying every morning to happily attending each day and even telling me he misses Monkey Puzzle on the weekends! There is no peace of mind like knowing your child is in a safe, supportive, nurturing and loving environment. Thank you Monkey Puzzle!

My son is a lockdown baby and I was worried for his social skills hence I decided to put him in nursery early to gain some skills. It took him a long time to adapt and to start enjoying it fully as he had not been able to go anywhere. Gradually I could see a positive change in him i.e he would not sit
down to eat at home and now he does. Nursery has been a positive influence on him and I’m so pleased the staff have done an incredible job at settling him in. My son knows all the staff there and they have all contributed to his settling in this is evident as when I drop him off he knows all the staff. Also, the nursery is constantly clean and the safety of the children is always ensured. I know I can relax when I send my son and equally he also enjoys going now.

I have been sending my daughter for over a year now and I look forward to send my second child as well soon. The ground and management staff, together with the owners are very caring and professional. As my daughter's first 2 years were impacted by Covid, she was clingy to us and had not had much social
interaction. Since she joined the nursery, I have seen lots of positive changes in her behaviour, social skills, self-feeding ability, phonics, nursery rhymes and potty training amongst others. The daily activities they do at the nursery as well are amazing. The environment is very homely to the children, the attention to detail and safety of the children is their utmost priority which gives us, as parents, comfort knowing our child is in good hands. I will also like to highlight they take food allergies seriously and any affected children do not feel left out, their needs are catered and food prepared with all precautions. I highly recommend this nursery.

It has taken me a couple of months to decide whether or not to write this review. However, after much thought, I have decided to speak about my experience. Firstly it is important to state that I would not recommend this nursery to anyone. If you care about your child's safety and well-being, I would
highly suggest you avoid this nursery at all costs. When my daughter first attended, there were members of staff which really helped and gave her the support she needed. However as time went on, they left and more and more staff left. The turnover of the staff was shocking. The owners of this nursery unfortunately are driven by money and don't have the well-being of the children at the forefront of their minds. My daughter was attacked supposedly by one other child, a scratch was what I was told on the phone by the manager. I came to the nursery to pick up my daughter (who can't talk) and I see her face has been battered. The staff had conflicting stories from the CCTV footage which was seen by the owners (I was not allowed to see for myself what happened to my child). This was a massive safeguarding issue and I was shocked to see how it was handled. I took my daughter out of this nursery for her own safety. Up to this day, I do not know the full story of what happened to her.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.369)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.369) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Greenford 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 13 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 4.936 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Greenford is calculated as follows: ( (148 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.936

  • 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 4.433 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Greenford is based on 13 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 150 number of registered child places is 30. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 30 = 0.433

  • 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: 2016

My name is Sukhy and I am the proud owner of Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Uxbridge. Previously I worked in the Banking industry for over 15 years acquiring a strong financial and management background before taking a career break to raise our two children, Malkit and Harleen. I am very much a hands on mother with a great passion for quality childcare and the drive to run a successful business.


The idea came to me around two years ago when Harleen had just started nursery. I would help out from time to time often taking an active part in activities and taking a keen interest in the way that it was run. I have always taken great interest in my children’s education so opening my own nursery was an opportunity that I just couldn’t pass by.


With my professional and family background, I bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to make Monkey Puzzle Uxbridge a huge success and a vital addition to the local community. A full time Nursery Manager with the appropriate qualifications will be recruited to manage the day to day business operations, whilst I look after growing the business and managing the relationship with staff and parents.

Deciding which nursery to send your child to, especially if it’s your firstborn is a very serious, personal and emotional decision for parents. Our main objective is to make this decision an easier one by providing childcare of the highest quality, within a safe, secure and caring environment.

I moved to England 9 years ago to pursuit my career in engineering. But then, hoping to take a short break to have a family I started working at the nursery where my child would attend. My passion and interest towards childcare was so great that I finally decided to change my profession completely.

My interests are music ether listening to or singing. I love to draw either realism art or cartoon characters; you may see some of my artwork in the tuff trays for preschool room. I also love exploring the Korean culture as its been one of my passions since I was 15. I also love animals as I studied animal management level 3 when I was in college, a completely different field I know.
