My daughter has been at Little Monkey's Nursery for three years and she absolutely loves it there! The staff are nurturing and caring, providing a fun environment for our daughter to grow in. The nursery has a great menu for the children, they offer a variety of nutritious meals and snacks. All of the
rooms in the nursery are set up in an appropriate way for all the different age ranges to play in safely with a variety of activities for them to do. The outdoor space is spacious, enclosed and well-equipped. The management is brilliant and supportive.

The carers at the nursery are fantastic. My child has built such a bond at every stage. I have always felt the carers love what they do and enjoy caring for children. The facilities are great, the children have plenty of space and a play area inside. They have varied activities, including crafts, songs,
French, playball etc. We really think our children learn so much. The outdoor facilities are also great and really well maintained. The catering is very popular, the variety of the menu is fantastic. I really like that the chefs are involved in some of the baking activities and the children really enjoy that. The management of the nursery is very attentive and supportive, they are an extremely reliable and capable team. They're always available to speak to parents and try their best to accommodate requests. Communication is great, we are kept well informed in the app and via newsletters. We absolutely love this place, such an important place for our children and building their foundation.

I love hearing about what my granddaughter gets up to. She has been there since 6 months old and is currently in the Preschool Log Cabin. She loves arts and crafts and enjoys the large garden space that is on offer. The staff are really caring and can not do enough for my granddaughter. I know she loves
the home-cooked meals made by the nursery chef and cook. I often hear about the cooking she has been doing with them. The range of activities and learning opportunities for my granddaughter are amazing.

Both my husband and I have to work full time and couldn't do it without the support and nurturing environment that is Little Monkeys Windsor Park! Over the last 5 years for both our children we have had brilliant care and now with our youngest in preschool superb care and attention. Our son has a speech
delay and the SEN support has been first-class! A personal thank you to the Nursery Manager, no ask is too much and she always puts the children first, she has gone above and beyond in supporting both children and parents! I would thoroughly recommend Little Monkeys Windsor Park to all parents looking for a kind, nurturing environment that go above and beyond for the children and parents! And after our 6 years of nursery schooling, we shall miss Little Monkeys when that time comes but luckily not for another year!

Reply from Emma Hughes, Nursery Manager at Little Monkey's Nursery Windsor Park

Thank you so much for your lovely words. It is a great pleasure to see how both boys are developing and to share so much with you all as a family. All of us here at Little Monkeys are so thankful for these kind words and pleased we still have another year with you guys here.

My little boy has been at Little Monkeys for over 2 years now and he still absolutely loves it. He speaks about the Team/Teachers as his best friends, which as a parent is lovely to hear. I've also never had any issues and always found the manager and the team super helpful and caring. I would highly
recommend it to anyone.

Excellent nursery. Our two girls have loved it here. Good facilities, a garden and wonderful staff. We have experienced the baby, toddler and preschool rooms and all three are great. Our older one has gone to school now and still talks about preschool and our younger one loves her days there.

My granddaughter has been going to Little Monkeys since she was 6 months old. It is wonderful to see and hear all the fun things she gets up to via my daughter's app she has.
I love the large outdoor space the nursery has. The staff team are also very caring and helpful. My granddaughter loves the
homemade meals that the chef and cook make.
I just think that it's such a lovely place for my granddaughter to go to.

My daughter has been with Little Monkeys Windsor Park for 3 years, full time, every working day of the week, starting with the baby room, toddler room and then pre-school group. In all of these 3 years, she has enjoyed her time at the nursery. The staff have been amazing: caring and kind, teaching
her a lot of things, they have complemented beautifully the education we gave her at home.
She had a close relationship with all the ladies in all of the rooms.
The rooms are brilliant, lots of things to do and play with. The garden is huge, giving the kids a lot of freedom to explore and spend their energy.
The nursery always has great themes, they celebrate a lot of lovely events, all for the kids to benefit from a well-rounded knowledge.
We, as parents, are more than proud of the nursery's staff and facilities. Great investment in our daughter's future.
Thank you again for all your hard work. It has been an amazing 3 years.

Wow! It is going to be a very hard day when my daughter leaves Little Monkey's, Windsor. Being a parent to a Special Educational Needs child, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing how invested the staff are in her development every day. They're super good listeners and have really made an effort
to understand my daughter's needs and how best she learns. They communicate effectively and update us thoroughly during handover, always shares the same enjoyment in wins as we do her parents. Nothing is ever too much for the staff at Little Monkey's, they are warm, welcoming and fun!

Our two daughters have loved their time at Little Monkey's and were sad to leave all their friends (staff and children) when we had to move house. We found the staff (in each of the different rooms) to be warm and caring with a genuine passion for keeping the children engaged, entertained and learning.
The outdoor space is excellent and we love that they get plenty of fresh air each day. The food is also great, fresh with plenty of variety and the kids have loved it when they've done special meals to match the learning themes. Staff turnover has also been low which is reassuring when kids are building trusted relationships. Overall I would (and have) recommended it to other families.

Reply from Emma Hughes, Nursery Manager at Little Monkey's Nursery Windsor Park

Thank you so much for your kind words. We have loved having your daughters here at Little Monkeys. It has been great to see them develop and build their confidence during their journey at Little Monkeys. We wish you all the best with your house move. Thank you again for your review.

Little Monkeys has been amazing for both of our children. The staff are friendly, engaging and put the safety and care of your child first at all times.
The meals are excellent and the children eat and enjoy them every day.
Their outdoor facilities are also great for all ages and regardless of the
weather knowing the children get some time outside is so refreshing.
The management are always on hand when we need them and even when there are concerns about our child's development have given us honest and helpful advice and guidance.

We have had the most wonderful experience at Little Monkeys. My daughter who attended for over 4 years enjoyed every day there since she was a baby and during her time in pre-school, she enjoyed both learning and play time which ensured she was fully ready to start school! My son currently attends the
nursery and he also absolutely loves his time there. He has such a close relationship with all of the staff, is always so happy to go which is such a lovely feeling as a working Mum. It feels like an extremely personal nursery, one where they take the time to get to know you as a family. The facilities are brilliant, so much effort is made to create different experiences and I love receiving updates via the app and seeing what our son has been up to. The garden is also amazing! I could not recommend this nursery enough and am very grateful to all of the staff there for taking such amazing care of my children.

We have been with Little Monkeys Windsor Park for four years now with two children and love the setting. My youngest is in the baby room, and the team there is brilliant and provides great care. My eldest also thrived at Little Monkeys, and we had a great experience with the preschool room. The nursery
is managed really well, with great staff. Thank you!

My daughter has been at Little Monkey's Nursery since 16 months, where she settled amazingly thanks to the professionalism of the staff. Right from the show around by the manager, I knew Little Monkey's would be the perfect place, especially with the amazing outside space and the incredible activities
they plan, not to mention the delicious food they offer. The play areas are kept clean and tidy throughout the day due to their full-time housekeeping team. They update the app to let you know about food, sleep, nappies/toilet and also when they achieve their framework indicators. The staff are friendly, kind and show genuine care for the children. I feel the staff all really love their job and it shows in the nurturing ways they have with the children. The communication between management and parents is great, with a newsletter of monthly events and some special events where parents are invited into nursery (which I love). I have and will continue to recommend Little Monkey's. Thank you to all the team, you guys are the best.

I absolutely loved Little Monkeys and was sad to leave (only did so as I left the country!). My two little ones thrived there, picking up lots of new skills, language and confidence. I loved the ratio of carers to children as it meant each child had a friendly face, and who I could speak with. The parent
app was always updated promptly and I loved the focus on their development. The building itself is spacious and child-friendly and there was lots for each age group to do and explore, both in and outside. It is an old building but I feel that added to its charm (where I currently am everything is so new that it looks very uncomfortable for the children to play in!). The food was great - I loved that it was all home-cooked on-site - and that they also got the chance to do cooking themselves. The staff and management were always really helpful and would go out of their way to help me. All in all, I couldn't have been happier with our time there.

Staff kept me informed about my daughter's day when I went to pick her up. Good open space and spacious rooms. My detailed feedback:
Not enough snapshots/observations were posted on the app. In 4 months they shared only 8 observations, 1 each month from August to October and 4 in November after we
decided not to pursue this setting.
App was updated by 5 pm, (pick up time 6 pm). Had to wait till 5 pm to know if she ate enough or not. It was frustrating for me as my little one was not a good eater. In one instance, she did not eat anything for a full day but the app was updated at 5 pm. I immediately went to pick her up that's when I was informed that she had a fever. When pointed out to the staff for not informing me about her fever, they said the app was updated. To date, I don't see that comment/update. Had I not collected her earlier, I wouldn't have been informed.
No single outing to places outside nursery was organised.
We're informed by snapshots shared at least weekly but we had to wait for a month to see her picture.

My grandson has been here for 6 months and settled in amazingly well with the help of the wonderful caring staff.
He’s happy to leave me when I drop him off and I’m always greeted with a warm welcome at the door.
They have a great menu for the children which is all prepared by the cook and the chef,
his mum gets daily updates on what and how much he has eaten, how much sleep he got, and photos of his day on a regular basis which is always reassuring.
Management seems to genuinely care for their staff with lots of treats for them.
They also have a very large garden to burn off their energy.
The building is always clean and tidy when I pick up as they have a full-time housekeeper.
Would recommend this amazing nursery to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.903)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.903) out of 10 for Little Monkey's Nursery Windsor Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.903 for Little Monkey's Nursery Windsor Park is calculated as follows: ( (221 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 238 Ratings = 4.903

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Monkey's Nursery Windsor Park is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 85 number of registered child places is 17, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
