We couldn't be happier with Monkey Puzzle Regents Terrace. The staff are fully invested in my daughter's happiness and she loves going to nursery every day. Staff are bright, loving and professional. Communication with parents is excellent and we work together to support my daughter

Really great nursery. We visited a few nurseries and they all were awful in my opinion. But Monkey Puzzle set my mind right at ease. If there is ever a question they will answer. Very good feedback every day. Very happy with my choice of nursery.

It is the best nursery ever. My daughter really loves Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery. She loves everything that happens there. She loves the teachers, food and activities. She doesn't know English but she is still comfortable there. I feel at ease when she is there and I can trust the nursery.

Our son loves going to the nursery. We have the feeling he is being taken care of very well and they have a lot of activities. Every week has a different theme, and they are very creative. Very good communication and really great staff.

"I'll huff and I'll puff and I will blow your house down!"

This week the children have been taking a deep dive into the traditional story of the "Three Little Pigs". They have created their own houses from straw, sticks and bricks. The children have acted out the story with a variety of props and discussed their own houses such as what materials they are made from and who lives in their house.
The children also created their own pigs from playdough and made marks with sticks, bricks and straw. ... See MoreSee Less

A big thank you to our special visitor from St Faith's School today. We work in partnership with a variety of independent schools in Cambridge to ensure all children are prepared and equipped with the essential skills and knowledge to take the leap into school with confidence and independence.

St Faiths School have also kindly donated us various items of their uniform for the children to practice wearing in preparation for September.
