My son has been at Little Monkey's for a year now and he is extremely happy at the setting. The carers have great bonds with him and I’m confident he is cared for very well. Everyone is very friendly and approachable. The activities set up are all very inviting, stimulating and educational. The outdoor
area is lovely and my son loves going outside so often. My son even asks to go to nursery at the weekends! I would definitely recommend this nursery.

We moved to UK when my child was just about to turn three and begin social interactions on his own. The preschool staff at Little Monkeys Windsor took extra care to help him settle in. Not only did he pick up the language (English is not out native language) quickly but also improved his social interactions
and within six months can express emotions, articulate dreams and possible outcomes of his actions. Gardening and Football are special days for the children and they really look forward to it. The food is very hygienic and my son loves to eat at school, so absolutely no complaints on food and nutrition at all. Windsor being a lovely town offers lot of green spaces to walk and since there is a park right opposite, it makes up for the lack of immediate outside space.
I strongly recommend the nursery for its experienced staff and management, location, hygiene levels and also sensitivity to cultural diversity which is very important for young minds trying to shape their identities.

I have been so impressed with Little Monkeys. The staff are lovely and my son absolutely loves it there.
Since being in nursery his development has really stepped on. He's much more confident and also a lot more social.
I love coming into the nursery and hearing his laugh as I walk down the hall
to collect him. The staff are so caring and you can see that they have built a real bond with him. A special shout-out to his key worker who has been absolutely amazing with him. He also loves his daily cuddles with another member of staff.
Would highly recommend this nursery and I’m so glad we picked Little Monkeys.
Many thanks

A fantastic nursery I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Our daughter has been very happy here (started at 11 months and now 3). She loves going to nursery, enjoys the environment which is well managed - small, calm rooms for the little ones and bigger more bustling environment for the older ones. The
transition has been well managed and the staff put effort and thought into the activities.

Our son has attended Little Monkeys since he was one and the nursery have been brilliant with his development, social skills and confidence. All the staff are really friendly, which helped him to settle in straight away. Food is good quality and varied, and the children are kept busy with lots of activities
both inside and outside. The garden is fantastic, a big selling point for us as there is so much space and during the summer they spend most of the day outside. We have no complaints and although there are periods of staff turnover I don’t think it is abnormally high for a nursery. I would absolutely recommend without hesitation!

We have been extremely happy with Little Monkey's nursery. The staff are wonderful and very friendly. They have made me feel comfortable in leaving our little one with them from day one. Communication is always good and they all seem to have a genuine interest in the welfare of the children. We have
also noticed lots of development in our little one since he has started.

Little Monkey's has been such a breath of fresh air for both my children. The staff and facilities are excellent and the grounds where the children play and develop are fabulous. The nursery have supported both of my children from the ages of 14months up to now where my son is about to start school
in September. I cannot thank them enough for all their help and support over the years, a really friendly set of staff that look after your children the way you do as a parent.

My little girl loves nursery, the staff are fantastic and I am well informed about what happens and my role as parent. My child's key person provides me with lots of feedback and suggests activities that I can carry out to help with her development.
Parents evening was fantastic and I enjoyed seeing
what progress my child has made while being at nursery through the journal that is kept. I was initially worried about the lack of outdoor space but in fact, its a bonus because it means that the children go out into the environment and learn so much. Thank you.

My little boy loves nursery, he comes home singing new songs that I haven’t taught him and his speech has rocketed since joining Little Monkey's. I couldn’t have asked for a better start in life for my son.

My little one has been at this nursery since she was six months old and I don’t know what I would do without them! I feel like my daughter is left with her second family and she can’t wait to go to nursery in the morning. The staff truly care about the children as individuals and the way they track
their development and ensure they are progressing is fantastic. I also feel very involved as a parent as well.

Little Monkeys is under new management which has meant that there has been a bit of change and uncertainty.
Hopefully, we are coming out the other side but there has been quite a high turnover of staff.
Overall, the facilities and staff are good.
The activities, especially in preschool, are excellent.

Reply from Hannah Williams, Manager at Little Monkey's Nursery Windsor Park

Our daughter spent 4 years here and I don’t think she ever once cried at drop off or said she didn’t want to go! Our son is now in his second year here, he is more timid but his confidence has really grown since he started. The staff are excellent, friendly, welcoming and kind to the children. It’s
hard to know much about the food quality, but my son does seem to have a lot of second helpings so I can only assume he likes it! Also, I think the garden is fab. Happy to recommend this lovely nursery!

The most important thing about a nursery to me is the staff and the Little Monkey's staff are fantastic. A pleasure to interact with, very enthusiastic, caring and capable. The facilities are also very good, the very large outside garden is a great space for the children and the different activities
they do (gardening, Spanish, scrummies, music) are also a bit hit with my two children. I had some great support from my children’s key workers recently, especially when my eldest went through a stage of not wanting to come to preschool - the keyworker suggested ideas for ways to improve the situation and soon after he was back to happily going off to preschool. In the baby room, the staff are wonderful too and they do some really fantastic activities with the babies, new messy play and craft activities every week. The food being cooked fresh on site and the children having two proper hot meals a day is also a huge positive - I am amazed at how much my two will eat there compared with home.

My son has been so happy at this nursery and all the staff and reassured me every step of the way from when he started. From settling in as we all know can be difficult for mums and children they were so good and kept me updated on going up and changing rooms they've done the same. They're all more
than willing to help with anything and are brilliant people to have round my son. He loves it there and enjoys his time there.

My daughter has been to Little Monkey’s since she was 9 months old.
After being turned down by a few childminders who deemed her too much additional work as she has some slight disabilities, I thought I would never find childcare. Taking her to Little Monkey’s was the best decision I could ever have
made.
From day 1, her care has been nothing short of exemplary. Never had any tears being left there, loved every minute.
Her education has far exceeded my expectations knowing her ABCs, 123's and able to count to 20 in French and Spanish by the start of 2nd-year Preschool is amazing.
The staff are always consistently supportive of her needs and very inclusive in everything they do. I would describe Little Monkey’s as having a very homely feel to it, they care about the children as opposed to doing things just to get a tick in a box.


Very sad to leave Pre School but my daughter is now a very confident, caring and outgoing little girl despite her needs and very prepared for her new life at school. Highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

My son has attended nursery since March 2016, he started when he was 9 months old and has always loved going to nursery. The staff are caring and knowledgeable, they completely make me feel at ease when leaving my little one in their care. The nursery is a home from home, the staff listen to my wishes
and when he was smaller, followed his home sleep and eating routine - now he is a toddler he follows nursery routine and thrives. The transition into the pre-toddler room was smooth and I was kept well informed. I have already attended two parents evenings and loved looking through his learning journey and seeing how he has developed, I am included in my child's learning and I know what is happening in the nursery and how I can support my little one at home - my son is always doing new things and I know nursery has supported him in achieving this. The outside space is amazing and my son goes out everyday. I highly recommend Little Monkeys.

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.
