Monkey Puzzle Watford Day Nursery & Preschool

As a mother I feel safe in this covid -19 to send my daughter in this nursery. They provide good games for overall development of my daughter. Food quality is also excellent

After a bad experience, we had a good look around and found this amazing nursery. It is soo clean and new, the garden has everything a child could use to explore in, a big bonus as my 3 year old boy is very active. All the playing activities were perfectly set up ready for the next day. This nursery embraces different cultures and religions and my children were able to have Halal. The Children have learnt all different religions and enjoy different festivals, which I think is soo important to learn and enjoy together. We recieve daily activities sheets, the children are always busy learning and exploring. My son, since joining this nursery has found confidence to speak more, and his vocabulary has improved soo much since starting at this nursery. What makes this nursery soo different is they care about the family unit and especially for the children. They have supported my family when we have needed it and will always try to accommodate our childcare needs, even in emergencies.Staff are kind and friendly, and both children have bonded with their key workers. I would not have anyone else to look after my children. I go to work worry free, as I know they are being cared for and are learning with fun. I have been given soo many lovely cards, photos and drawings from my 3 year old and 10 month old baby .

The atmosphere at the nursery is warm and friendly, and my daughter is having a great time. I have seen my child's confidence and social skills improve greatly since starting at the nursery.

As our first nursery experience for our little one , it was not greatFirst of all , no proper tour of the nursery was given to us. Important information about the nursery routine and needs were alao not mentioned and we had to find out about thee at random. For example-labelling things, out door clothes.Staff appeared to be rushed to their feet; from the start including communication, taking our kid through and then handing them back.The nursery was clearly understaffed and the team apologized for the same most of the times and the Team Leader had also changed. I admit they were trying to be honest regarding their issues and trying to fix it but these weren't not enough to meet nursery standards. As parents we found it really hard as there were days when we should have been called only to find out in the evening that it was a very bad day for our child (food intake poor, had for the entire time at nursery just one bottle, etc as per the notes) but nothing was doneWent by google reviews, but just turned out to be a bad decision for us . Needs better management and staff

My son is loving the environment and have made a lots of friends. I think facilities are top notch and curriculum is engaging. I would highly recommend this to everyone

My experience with monkey puzzle has been very good.. The staff is extremely professional and responsive ... all the kids are very well treated... the quality of daycare is of very high standards .. well done !!!!

Good caring centre for kids with delicious food

The curriculum is engaging, educational, and tailored to the needs and interests of each child. I am amazed at how much my child has learned and grown since starting at the nursery. The staff have been great at communicating with me and keeping me updated on my child's progress. They have a great open-door policy and are always available to answer any questions or concerns I may have.

My son started at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Watford back in February 2022 just before his 3rd birthday. Right from when we went to go view the nursery, my son took to it straight away (something he has never done in viewings of other nurseries). The staff have been brilliant with him. We are awaiting speech and language therapy sessions (he’s currently on the waiting list with the NHS) but in the meantime we have seen such a massive difference with him as he is picking up a lot of new words from the other kids and staff. They are brilliant with him. Getting to know his likes and dislikes and celebrating each milestone he makes it’s great to see. There are many external sessions run from other companies (sports, music, puppet shows etc) which he enjoys. These are additional extras which is included in the fees. The food caters for all (we are vegetarian and don’t eat egg) and he has settled in so well. That’s down to the amazing environment created by the staff. They are always so friendly. I love the diversity in the nursery celebrating Eid, Chinese New Year, Diwali, Holi etc. I would highly recommend Monkey Puzzle Watford nursery they are truly amazing. I personally can’t thank them enough they are all brilliant. I can’t wait to see how my son continues to thrive within their care over the next 15 months or so.
