  Amazing nursery! Could not praise enough staff that go above and beyond their duty daily. The on-site chef is also the bonus, food is always fresh, nutricious and delicious. Thank you for everything

  Outstanding nursery with great members of staff, highly recommended. They have gone above and beyond to care for my daughter. Monkey puzzle is one of the best nurseries in Stanway/ Colchester.

  We have started Monkey Puzzle in the last month. Our child is shy and not forth coming with new people, taking their time to get to know them. From the start we have had nothing but positive experiences. The staff are friendly, thorough in the research on your child getting to know them before they start, making sure we as parents feel totally at ease with sending them into a whole new environment and the parent app used is amazing and keeps me at ease throughout the nursery days. Each day so far my child has happily gone into nursery, building a bond with the key worker and has come out happy. The facilities are vast, educational but also all about play for the children. Behind the scenes that back office staff are just as helpful, knowledgeable and nothing is too much trouble. I cannot recommend Monkey Puzzle enough for a nursery setting and am so glad that we found them. They’re a great team and that is evident in how my child goes in and out each nursery day.

  Amazing nursery with a loving and inclusive vibe from all that work there. I'm always amazed at what our son tells us he has been learning and playing every day. I love how happy he comes out. Thank you to all the staff for being approachable, understanding and genuinely lovely.

  My daughter enjoyed her nursery for 2½years and now she graduated and she had a lovely day with all her colleagues and friends partying and celebrating the event which was wonderful. She had great time going to the nursery learning, playing and making friends in a clean and safe environment with lots of toys and games. The staff was always friendly and helpful, the management is so passionate about what they do, offering to children the best time and experience, always being there for any concerns or worries we had. Thank you Monkey Puzzle Stanway.

  My son loves going to Monkey Puzzle nursery in Colchester and he even wants to go on the days when he's at home! The new room for pre-schoolers is beautifully finished and spacious. The children always spend time outside no matter the weather. My son only joined 7 months ago after being at his last nursery for 2 years and he has settled in very quickly. He is very fond of his key workers who are friendly, affectionate and competent. The pre-school children learn some sign language and Spanish (even we can learn, as well as learning how to be independent. The teachers provide a weekly lesson plan in advance incorporating various events into their teaching. They provide updates on the app throughout the day as well as clear photos of your child. They have recently introduced tasty, freshly cooked food from a local company and reduced the frozen food components. I'm very happy with Monkey Puzzle and I wish we had moved here sooner. It's much better than our last nursery in London. Kudos to Mr & Mrs Sandhu and his team!

  Such a friendly family feel, the staff always have time for both parents and children. My 1 year old son absolutely loves it at monkey puzzle he always runs in with a huge smile on his face, he loves his key worker and is always happy to spend time at nursery. He recently broke his leg whilst playing with his older brother and on his return to nursery I have felt 100% comfortable and have had no doubt that he is in the best care. 100% recommend MP Colchester!

  I wouldn’t even leave 1 star given the shocking and vile experience I have had from this nursery just now. I called up the nursery wanting to enquire about sessions and fees as I am looking at putting my child into his first nursery school. A man answered the phone I believe he was the manager of the company although this I am not certain of. I politely said hello and said “could I ask you Afew questions please about the sessions you provide at your nursery as I’m looking to start my son into nursery school” but before I could finish my sentence I was rudely interrupted he said “who is this ? And how did you get this number ? “ I said “I’m sorry is this the nursery ? Have I called the wrong number?” Shocked that a supposedly professional business is talking to a potential future customers this way it was far from a warm and friendly Welcome. He said “yes it’s the nursery how did you get this number ?” I said “off Google”. I was completely stunned that I was being spoken to this way with so much disrespect for no plausible reason. I lost what I was going to say as being spoken to so rudely and abruptly I told the man on the phone how rude he was he then said they have had a lot of scam phone calls asking about the nursery which I find utter ridiculous. I was just simply wanting to enquire about nursery sessions and fees etc and instead I was rudely interrupted and extremely disrespected by this man on the phone. I was not rude on the phone I am a polite person and having worked for customer service and reception experience for over 15 years I know how to conduct myself over the phone. Absolutely disgusting experience and I strongly advise this nursery to employee Someone who knows how to talk to the public with kindness and with a professional demeanour. P.S photos added to prove this is your nursery I called with todays time and date. Lying will get you nowhere.

  My daughter has been attending Monkey Puzzle since 2020 and she absolutely loves it. It’s such a joy to see her growth and learning every day. The staff and the management are wonderful and so accommodating. As a parent i feel I have found a home away from home where she’s loved and cared for. I would highly recommend the Nursery to anyone looking for 5⭐️ Quality care for their child.

  Our daughter has been very happy here. Staff are very kind and knowledgeable. Recent trips out to the park, shops and the library have been a lot of fun. Activities planned for every week are exciting and engaging for the children. Would certainly recommend.
