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.

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.

As many of you know, Roald Dahl was a British author of popular children`s stories and is considered "one of the greatest storytellers for children of the 20th century".

Here are some of our favourite fun facts about him:

- Roald Dahl would only ever write his books in pencil and on yellow coloured paper
- Roald Dahl’s books were written in a little hut in his garden
- His favourite sweets were chocolate and gobstoppers, as shown in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
- Roald Dahl invented more than 500 new words in his stories
- Many of his characters were based on people he knew in real life!

We love Roald Dahl at Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries, do you? 🥰
