My daughter really loves Monkey Puzzle Woodford. She settled in so quickly and the only tears we get is when we walk past without going in! She's in the Tweenies room. The staff are all friendly and I get lots of feedback on what she's done during the day.

My son has been at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Woodford for a year, he started in babies and then moved to Tweenies. It really is a very special nursery, the facilities are fantastic as brand new and the garden is lovely but most importantly the staff go above and beyond every single day.

My son started in the babies room and has recently moved to tweenies. He has grown in confidence and is thriving there. They have been excellent with his food allergies, providing him with suitable meals which he enjoys. The staff have always been very friendly and welcoming.
