Jenny Branch

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.

Helen Parker

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.

Deborah Abraham

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.

Adam Elliott-Cooper

The nursery is great, a lovely big space with lots of light and an incredible garden. It's always spotless! The place is secure but efficient for parents to come and go. Parking is great too. Staff are brilliant, helpful, caring and intuitive.

About a year ago, my 2-year-old daughter started going to Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Woodford. Since then, she has learned so much. We adore this place so much. Fantastic team with a really kind attitude. It's amazing to watch our daughter become enthusiastic about visiting Monkey Puzzle.

What’s Been Happening At Our Nursery

✨ Messy play isn’t just chaos — it’s childhood in action.
When children dig, splash, squish, pour, smear, and explore, they’re doing far more than making a mess. They’re building the foundations of learning.

🌱 The bond between nursery practitioners and their little ones is where confidence, curiosity, and kindness begin to grow. When children feel safe and truly seen, their world opens up. These relationships aren’t just part of the job — they’re the heart of early years care. 💛
Secure attachments deepen this even further — they give children the emotional anchor they need to explore, take risks, and develop resilience. When a child knows their key person is consistently warm, responsive, and dependable, they feel grounded enough to flourish. It’s in these everyday moments of connection that lifelong wellbeing begins.
