My two children are both at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery in Tweenies and preschool. They are always full of smiles when I collect them, saying what a great day they have had. The staff truly care about the children and have a warmth and love for them, which makes me as a mother feel comfortable. The management
is excellent and they always communicate updates to the nursery. I am very happy with Monkey Puzzle and recommend to anybody thinking of joining.

My daughter has been at Monkey Puzzle East Sheen since April 2023 and is currently in the preschool room. It had a few managerial issues in the early part of 2024 which were a source of concern for all parents but the new management and current staff are absolutely outstanding. The manager and deputy
manager have really steered this ship into wonderful waters and we couldn't be happier. The activities the children undertake are so varied and interesting, my daughter is always happy at drop off and pick up and talks descriptively and excitedly about her day. The Pre-School room are also working on developing the children's understanding of numbers and letters and help them develop their writing and creative skills. I honestly couldn't be happier and one staff member in particular a long-standing staff member, is just the best. A very happy and varied environment indeed.

I've had 2 children in the nursery over the last 12 months and there has been a constant issue in resourcing and communication since they joined but it's becoming increasingly worse over the last few months. Sometimes the resourcing issues have been so serious that the nursery has opened late as a result.
Children don't have key workers identified and there are serious safeguarding concerns addressed to senior management in the head office by parents and staff. Senior management was notified but did not seem to grasp the severity of the issues and often blamed the hard-working staff who were working despite all the obstacles they faced. After becoming aware of issues senior management didn't actively speak with staff to ensure they were supported but they did roll out a new payment system. Their priority is money and not the safety of children or supporting their staff.

Reply from David Hancock, Executive Chairman at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery East Sheen

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, although disappointing to read we are aware of your concerns and would like to reiterate how keen we are to meet with you to discuss this further. For the occasion you are referring to, when the nursery opened late, we are very sorry and understand the inconvenience this caused. Unfortunately, due to an unforeseen delay in our full team arriving on site, we had to prioritise opening safely. We take our safeguarding obligations seriously and would like to reassure you that if any concerns had been raised to us, they would be addressed in line with our policies and procedures. The children are at the heart of what we do and we are incredibly disappointed by your suggestion that they are not. All children are assigned key workers and we understand the importance of this to ensure our children feel safe and secure at nursery. We care about your opinion and encourage you to engage with us off this platform so we can address your concerns.

The team at Monkey Puzzle East Sheen are amazing. My daughter is in the preschool class there and she loved it from the first day she went. They start you off with 3 settling-in days so your child feels comfortable in the environment and with staff, this was great for me as it was the first time I had
sent my daughter to any kind of child care. The first day you get to stay with your child to see the activities they do and what the staff are like and how well the other children are settled. The key workers are incredible teachers especially, my daughter's favourites! Not only because they're so much fun and so friendly, but also because they genuinely care about the kids there and want to inspire learning. The manager is also a fantastic manager. Great with parents and children, I honestly can't fault the place, they have such a wonderful team which makes it the perfect daycare setting. I highly recommend and plan on sending my next child there when he's bigger.

Reply from David Hancock, Monkey Puzzle Group Chairman at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery East Sheen

Thank you for leaving your review about the experience your daughter is enjoying with us. It's great to hear such positive kind words about our dedicated team. They all are passionate about the care and early years education we provide. We really appreciate your feedback for our setting and look forward to welcoming your next child when he is bigger.

My child started at Monkey Puzzle East Sheen a few months ago, and is so happy being dropped off, and we as parents feel so reassured leaving him. The staff have been so helpful in getting him settled in quickly, and he is so comfortable with all of them and everyone clearly is of such a loving, caring
nature. The manager is always super friendly, cheerful and positive and a great person to be leading the team. The facilities are so clean and new, and there are so many beautiful toys. The children get to play outside in the well-equipped garden come rain or shine, giving them lots of fresh air! Thank you Monkey Puzzle for taking such good care of him! We would recommend this nursery to everyone in the area.

Monkey Puzzle East Sheen has truly been a home away from home for our son. The nursery staff and rooms are extremely warm, engaging and welcoming and not to mention all the fun sing alongs and stories that make its way back home on afternoons. The in-house prepared meals from breakfast to afternoon
tea are balanced and is carefully planned taking into consideration all of the dietary needs and favorites of the children.
We truly love Monkey Puzzle East Sheen and will miss everyone when our little one moves on to primary school.

Our experience at East Sheen Monkey Puzzle has been positive since our baby started here. The transition from maternity leave to full-time day care was made all the more easier as our child loves going to Monkey Puzzle and comes home tuckered out from a day of playing and activities. The staff are also
very thoughtful and show a genuine interest in his development and care.

My child absolutely loves Monkey Puzzle. All the staff are so warm and welcoming and it is such a lovely environment for the children. My child is so happy when I drop him off and it is nice leaving him knowing he is going to have a wonderful and happy day, playing, learning and interacting with the
other children and staff. The staff all look after him and the other children so well and are so supportive of the parents and provide lots of feedback on how the child is doing etc. The facilities are brilliant, including all the toys and outdoor space. We are so grateful to Monkey Puzzle for looking after our son so well.

Since my child has started with Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery East Sheen, he has been shown love, support and understanding. He is constantly praised, listened to, cared for and cuddled. Drop-offs are so easy when your baby wants to go to nursery and gets excited about going.
We were originally considering
a childminder and did meet with a few. I am so glad that we chose this nursery instead.
The staff are friendly, approachable, understanding and easygoing.
We follow a vegan diet and they have been supportive and very accommodating to our needs. We don't have to worry about what our baby eats as he is offered a variety of well-balanced, nutritious and delicious meals, which he eats all of!
They have created a warm, loving environment that is run very well.
Well done Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery East Sheen! Thank you for loving our baby! We love you!

My child has been in this nursery since they opened and the experience (both his and ours) has been outstanding. Speaks for itself when your toddler just walks into the room in the morning and doesn't even look back. The staff are wonderful, creative and caring and all activities (of which there are
many) are really well planned and organised. It's a new nursery with great facilities and lots of wooden toys. We're very happy so far and more than happy to recommend it to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.481)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.481) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery East Sheen is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 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 4.692 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery East Sheen is calculated as follows: ( (132 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.692

  • 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 4.789 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery East Sheen is based on 12 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 76 number of registered child places is 15.2. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.2 = 0.789

  • 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.

Having moved from working with KS1 and KS2 to younger children, I feel as though I have progressed in my understanding of Early Years development and how to help children learn.


I joined Monkey Puzzle East Sheen because my friend told me it was a lovely place to work.


You will find me in the Tweenies Room!
