Munazza A (Mother of Child)

I couldn’t be happier with the care my son has received in both Baby Room and Tweenies. The staff are warm, loving, and attentive, and he has flourished so much since joining. The management team have also been incredibly supportive from the start.

M S (Mother of Child)

My baby has only been at Monkey Puzzle for a month and I’m so happy with how well she has settled. The staff are loving and caring, and the app updates are so reassuring. I really value the support and advice they offer parents too.

M B (Mother of Child)

We joined Monkey Puzzle Catford in January and the team helped our daughter settle gradually despite her separation anxiety. The staff are warm and welcoming, and the photo updates show how much fun she has each day. We’d highly recommend.

K H (Mother of Child)

We’re very happy with our son’s experience at Monkey Puzzle Catford. The staff go above and beyond with fun, educational activities, and we’ve really appreciated their support with SEN needs. The food and outdoor facilities are great too.

Hayley W (Mother of Child)

The staff have been amazing with both my children and have always shown genuine care for their happiness and wellbeing. It’s a safe, fun environment, and pre-school prepared my son so well for primary school. We’re very grateful to the team.

Erin S (Mother of Child)

My son has been at Monkey Puzzle Catford for over a year and we couldn’t be happier. He goes in smiling each morning, and the staff are caring, capable, and brilliant with him. We’ve seen his confidence grow so much and highly recommend the nursery.

Louise T (Mother of Child)

My daughter has been attending for six months and absolutely loves this nursery. The baby and tweenies staff are fantastic and caring, and the office team and management have been great whenever we’ve needed support. I can’t recommend it enough.
