Parents have rated Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Welling as one of the Top 20 nurseries, out of 2,406 early years settings in London.

The top twenty nurseries in London have received an award from the day nurseries reviews site, daynurseries.co.uk, with the award based on the nursery’s reviews from the children’s families and carers.

The nurseries were rated on overall standard, facilities and outside space, learning, resources and equipment and ICT, care, activities, staff, food and nutrition, management, cleanliness, safeguarding as well as value for money.

The awards are based on almost 60,000 reviews received between April 29, 2021 and April 28, 2023 from parents, relatives and guardians of children who attend the nurseries.

Nurseries are excluded from the awards if they are not compliant with the regulatory authority.

There are over 14,000 nurseries in the UK, with over 400,000 people working in the childcare sector; around one million children in the UK attend a nursery.

Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of daynurseries.co.uk, said: “We would like to congratulate Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Welling on being rated by parents as one of the top nurseries in London.

"Being chosen as one of the best nurseries in the UK by family and carers of children that attend the setting is a huge achievement.

“Our award is recognition from parents and carers that this nursery is offering their children a high standard of care and a stimulating environment, which will hopefully help create strong self-esteem and a lifelong love of learning.

“We hope these awards give parents that much needed guidance in choosing the right nursery for their child.”

A spokesperson for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Welling said: “We couldn’t achieve this award without the hard work and dedication from our amazing team and our wonderful families for their continued support.

"Small acts of kindness once multiplied, can change the world for the better generational leadership, by putting children first.”
