Stacey Sharpe
Monkey Puzzle is a fantastic nursery and my little boy absolutely loves it there. The staff are amazing, very approachable and understand the needs of each child. They have a variety of activities for the children every day and lots of healthy food options cooked on-site by the chef.
Joshua Cummins
Cannot praise the team at Monkey Puzzle Loughton highly enough. They are absolutely great with my child. The facilities are great and the regular updates via the app are very helpful. So good that our other one will be starting with them in the coming weeks. Thank you!
Jyoti Ponting
The nursery provides a great environment for my daughter to learn and develop. The care and attention the staff provide is evident, my daughter often speaks of the staff as her friends and I am confident the nursery supports her and will prepare her as she transitions to school.
Raj Bhogal
I thought my son would never settle anywhere, we tried different nurseries, nannies and a childminder. Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery managed to do it and now my son sings songs about his teachers! My son also has a number of allergies and the nursery staff have taken this very seriously.
Harriet Halls
Monkey puzzle is such a lovely nursery. Bright and spacious rooms with creative activities set up. Lovely outdoor space. Healthy and tasty food served up that my daughter loves. And most important of all, lovely staff. Kind, friendly, caring, professional, and more.
A Day In Our Nursery
Healthy Eating
As children grow, a healthy and balanced diet is key, and we inspire with a variety of colour, texture, and taste to expand their food experiences.
Seasonal and local produce are also important in helping children understand more about where food comes from and nutrition.
