My children are both here one in 2-3 room and other in the mega monkey room. They absolutely love it and I would not have them anywhere else now. The staff are all lovely and the facilities are brilliant with lots of outdoor areas and plenty of indoor space too.
My son got thoroughly spoiled on his birthday and came home with a lovely personalised card and lots of helium balloons.
I will be really sad when they have to eventually leave as am sure they will be,
10 out of 10 for this nursery.
Overall
Went to see the nursery at 7.30 this morning on my way to work as it was the only time i had to view the nursery. Was very surprised with the whole place, great big bright space, super gardens, staff were warm and friendly and the manager was very well informed.
The nursery and After school open at 7.30 am and close at 6.30 pm which is great for us as i sometimes never get out of work to six, which allows me time still to get there. The nursery has a great range of lunches and the veggie menu is very creative not just pasta like some i have been to see.
The thing that made me decide to sign up was the NHS staff discount of 10% and also that they will offer a rolling day contract. I really dont know why no one else is doing this as lots of people work shifts. Flexible, friendly childcare is their mission statement and so far so good. Life will hopefully now be easier on my whole family.

Went to visit a new nursery just opened in the Gorbals yesterday and it is a fantastic redeveloped building. The staff were fantastic and friendly, the manager was very informative and had a strong understanding of the importance of play and fun.
Being a teacher i want to ensure Jack has fun but is also being stimulated and encouraged daily. The nursery has a great sensory zone, beautiful sleep zone and best of all they offer term time contracts for professionals or students who are in education.
The nursery has a special under 3 garden which has Astroturf and plantes. CAN NOT believe my luck. Fantastic place and great value for money.

I have been struggling to find high quality childcare in and around the City Centre. Monkey Puzzle Glasgow Central has everything under one roof. Went to visit the nursery on Friday and again yesterday. Great bright playrooms, with 0-1 room, 1-2 room and 3-5 room. Sensory room and Health and Well Being zone. The cherry on the cake was the fact they open from 7.30am until 6.30pm. 51 weeks of the year.
The After School is the same opened until 6.30pm which means one pick up at the end of the day for my partner.
Can not wait to see the nursery develop over the coming months. The staff and manager seem very focused and friendly. Fantastic flexible childcare.
