Monkey Puzzle Cheshunt has been a huge comfort for our family. The staff are warm and attentive, the app updates are brilliant, and our child has grown in confidence and friendships over the past year. We’re genuinely grateful for the care and dedication.

My twin boys joined when they turned one and have grown so much with Monkey Puzzle. They’ve made great friends, the staff are lovely, and they’ve built strong relationships with the team.

Our girls have been at Monkey Puzzle Cheshunt since they were one and they absolutely love it. The staff are friendly, the bonds they’ve built are amazing, and we’re always kept informed about their days and activities.

My eldest started at 7 months, thrived here, and left for school so confident and capable. The nursery support each child so well that we enrolled our second daughter too, and she’s already coming on brilliantly. We’re truly grateful for everything they do.

Elena P (Mother of Child)

Our son has been at Monkey Puzzle for nearly a year and we couldn’t be happier. The staff helped him settle so well, they’re easy to talk to, and he absolutely loves his days there.

Christina T (Mother of Child)

We’re so happy with our choice—our daughter started at 9 months and settled in beautifully thanks to the amazing staff. Communication is great and the app updates are so reassuring, especially through room transitions. Most importantly, she loves going every day.
