Ofsted Report and Testimonials
Our recent Ofsted report:
Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Cranbrook
Three recent testimonials:
We had a good feeling about Monkey Puzzle the first time we visited and I cannot reiterate what an excellent choice we made for our daughter. I have been thrilled with the care my daughter is receiving and can honestly say that it has exceeded all my expectations; it is simply outstanding. C. is treated as an individual, it is clear that the staff has put in a lot of time and effort into getting to know her. She has developed immensely and always has a new nursery rhyme or skill to show me when I collect her.
The staff’s level of professionalism and observation is superior to the norm. Our daughter was diagnosed with Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip at a late age and this was initially detected by the manager of Monkey Puzzle who gently urged me to investigate further. Our consultant at Great Ormond Street hospital was very impressed that she was able to detect this and stated that we were lucky to have such a conscientious member of staff at the nursery. C. was in a Spica Cast for seven weeks and during this time I could not have wished for more support in helping her to try and lead a normal life both physically and emotionally. I was amazed at their flexibility and dedication to care.
The other children were also very loving and helpful towards C, a real testament to their teaching of good social skills. This is also evident in the way the children interact with each other and the staff. It was a very stressful time for the whole family and all the staff at Monkey Puzzle made it a much easier time for us. The staff gives the general impression of loving their jobs and especially the children and I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone wanting outstanding nursery care. It’s an excellent nursery to send your children, where you will know they are being well looked after.

After almost one year of research in Children Nurseries and trials at four different sites I finally come across Monkey Puzzle. The process of finding a Nursery was as important as buying your own home, you have to see some and know that is the right place as soon as you walk in!
I have two daughters and both attended Monkey Puzzle from the age of one and two. A year on, and the girls still see Monkey Puzzle as an exciting place to go to. Facilities and staff are of high standards, with children’s wellbeing and development at the forefront of agenda. And for me, I can go about doing my daily activities thinking that the girls are happy, and in a place where they are cared for in a very nurturing way’

The Monkey Puzzle Nursery is a truely exceptional place. Visually it is colourful, vibrant and well organised.
The food is varied and healthy and I always know J will eat well on nursery days. Infact he eats more than he does at home - which I am trying not to take personally!
The staff are attentive professional and caring and filled us with confidence from the minute we handed J over for the first time.
Both my husband and I could not wish for a better nursery and I would recommend Monkey Puzzle in a heartbeat.
