My little one loves going to the nursery! The staff are very kind and helpful and engage children in a lot of different activities. They make sure every child is happy and comfortable. For example, my little one loves being outside so they take her out to the garden every day and spend hours there if
weather permits. The staff are also great with talking to the parents. They give us daily updates on our babies' development.

Both my grandchildren attend this nursery and every time we pick up, all the children seem super happy and the staff are kind friendly and bubbly! Everyone always says good morning or have a lovely evening and the feedback at the end of the evening always seems thorough. Our daughter always lets us
know how they have eaten before we collect them as she is able to see it on the app straight away. When we ask our grandchildren about their days (one is 3 and one is 1.5) the eldest always tells us what she's been up to, which usually includes, lots of creativity (e.g painting, foam play), sand and water play, time in the garden and lots of music and dancing.
Thanks so much for giving our grandchildren such a great start in life!

Been very impressed with how they settle your little one into nursery. Home visit first was excellent, then they allowed both parents to come in for the first-hour session which really helped settle our nerves and gave us the opportunity to ask lots of questions. Our little one seems to have settled
in really well, and loves the food, playing, activities and songs there - we love the photo updates. Also, they have a regular nappy change schedule which is great.

Our son has been at Monkey Puzzle since June 2024 in the pre-school room. The staff have been very friendly and helpful in the development of our son. He has the opportunity to play outside a lot and the facilities on offer are top-notch. The nursery is very clean and the staff are always great at keeping
us updated throughout the day on activities that the children are doing. We are very happy with the nursery, and our daughter will be starting in the baby room next month. We highly recommend this as a nursery!

I have 1 child at Monkey Puzzle Bishop's Stortford who is in the preschool room.
She goes two mornings a week and has massively grown in confidence since she started attending in January 2024.
They have a wide range of different activities and a lovely outside space.
The staff there are all really
lovely and friendly and genuinely take an interest in the development of your child.
The food options are all very well balanced and lots of options which help with your child trying new foods.
I will be sending my younger child there as well who will start in the new year.

The staff are very friendly and have been very helpful with any queries we have had. Our son loves the baby room and is welcomed and settled in a professional yet calming manner. We love the fact the children are taken outside a lot during the day as well as the variety of toys and enrichment offered
indoors.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.006)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.006) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bishop's Stortford 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 6 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 4.958 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bishop's Stortford is calculated as follows: ( (69 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.958

  • 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 4.048 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Bishop's Stortford is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 67 number of registered child places is 13.4. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.4 = 0.448

  • 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.
