Parenting support in Orpington

“Our son has been attending Monkey Puzzle since he was 4.5 months old, he is now 2 years old. We are extremely happy with his level of care that he receives. He loves coming to nursery, and the enjoys the variety of activities that the excellent team provide. The care we’ve received from every member of staff, at all levels, has always been fantastic. Our son loves his time at nursery and we are very pleased in all the progress he’s making. We can see at home the different things he’s being taught at nursery, from sign language, his motor skills and the many varieties of messy play he brings home in his hair! Personally as parents we’ve enjoyed the community feel of the nursery, having attending a few events like the summer fete and the parents first aid training. We can’t recommend Monkey Puzzle enough!”

“My daughter has been attending Threshers Nursery for the past three years, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she received. From day one, the staff have treated her like one of their own. They genuinely care about the children, they know their personalities, their routines, and what makes them smile. Every time I dropped her off or picked her up, she was happy, engaged, and clearly having fun. Rain or shine, the team always managed to bring positive energy and warmth to the day. That kind of consistency isn’t easy, but they make it look effortless. One thing I especially appreciated was the sense of freedom they gave the children. Kids should be kids, not constantly wiped down or overly restricted. At Threshers, my daughter was encouraged to explore, get messy, and learn through experience. She became very independent and confident, learning to do things on her own with gentle support when needed. Before this, she had attended a different nursery where she cried almost every day. But here, she was happy from the very beginning. That says a lot. I also want to mention that I always respected their work, I wasn’t the type of parent to micromanage or constantly complain. I trusted them, and they proved over and over that they deserved that trust. In three years, I’ve had zero issues. Thank you so much to the entire Threshers Team. You’ve made such a difference in our lives, and I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to other families.”

“Manor Oak is a nurturing, family oriented primary school. The staff really care and are very supportive of the children and parents. I have had four children go to Manor Oak and i have been a happy parent with happy children here for many years. They have thrived and have enjoyed coming to school. The SEN support here is also fantastic. I would highly recommend Manor Oak Primary School for your childs education and wellbeing.”
