My little boy has been going here for about 5 months and he absolutely loves it. His always talking about his friends at nursery and the girls looking after him! He has come on leaps and bounds since he started, from his communication to his confidence and his eating.

Parent

Not sure I could have found a more caring and child centred nursery. With a SEND trained deputy manager and a very well run team. My anxiety subsided almost immediately. I cannot recommend highly enough. So many good things about them, the progress made and the fun times.

It was a big decision for us on where to send our son to nursery, but we couldn't have made a better choice. The staff at Monkey Puzzle have helped him enormously and have created a safe, supportive, caring and enriching environment that really has set him up for school and beyond.

Parent

From management, to key workers, to the chef, our expectations have been vastly exceeded in every department. Daily updates on the app are fairly frequent and meaningful which adds a layer of reassurance. The care they clearly gave our son, and all the other children is obvious to see.

Earlier this year we made the tough decision to take our little girl out of her current nursery and find a new one. When I tell you that moving her was the best decision I think we've ever made, I honestly mean it. Our daughter absolutely loves it at Monkey Puzzle and we're so grateful.

Parent

The manager, one staff member in particular and all of the ladies at Monkey Puzzle nursery are honestly incredible. Leaving your child that first day is so difficult but very quickly we felt like we were dropping our little boy off to family.

Parent

Our son has been attending Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery in Billericay for the past 3 years, and honestly it feels like being part of a big family. The staff are excellent, they are so friendly and genuinely care about all of the children and take interest in their lives.

The team at the nursery is fantastic, our little girl cannot wait to go there every day, she loves the team and she has learnt so much which we believe has significantly given her the skills that she needs for everyday life. Thank you monkey puzzle.

Monkey Puzzle is a wonderful nursery, and it's the staff there that make it so brilliant! The care they give my son (and my son, who has now left and is at school) is impeccable. My youngest son suffers from multiple allergies, and the staff at Monkey Puzzle couldn't be more accommodating.

My daughter has been going to Monkey Puzzle in Billericay for a year now and she loves it. She's excited to be dropped off daily and on pick up she cannot wait to tell me about her day. I have no complaints and find the staff both very helpful and friendly. I'd have no problem recommending
