We have always been extremely happy with Little Monkeys Day Nursery and the way the staff care for and nurture our children.
Our eldest daughter went when she was 13 months old until she left for school. She absolutely loved her time there, made lots of friends and still talks about the staff that
looked after her. Our second daughter is currently in the Cheeky Chimps room. The team at Little Monkeys play such an important part in her development and offers plenty of activities that support this. The children also have the opportunity to go to the park or into town as these are on the doorstep of the nursery. Our youngest will start at Little Monkeys next year.
The food is really varied and prepared fresh on site by the kitchen team.
The management and admin team are always very helpful should you need to contact them.

Our daughter has attended Little Monkeys Day Nursery since early 2022 and we are so happy with the progress she has made. Every member of staff is friendly and caring and we receive constant updates of daily activities. Our little one is so excited to go to nursery every day and we know she is in excellent
hands! Thanks Little Monkeys!

We couldn't be happier with Little Monkeys Day Nursery. They are a fantastic team who have made our son feel extremely welcome and content. Since he started attending a year ago, his development has been incredible to see. He settled in well and seems really happy there. His two key workers so far have
been wonderful; they have spent lots of time getting to know and understand him and we are kept regularly updated on his progress. The management team are very helpful and responsive. The activities are fun and varied and he enjoys all the food. We have no concerns at all and couldn't recommend it highly enough! Thanks to the fantastic Little Monkeys team!

My little boy started here just under a year ago.
The staff are really attentive and caring towards him and nothing has ever been too much trouble.
When he transitioned to the toddler room, the staff were very reassuring and communicative with the process.
Since being in the toddler room he has
thrived and has a good bond with all staff in the room.
I'm so pleased we picked this nursery and that he enjoys going. Couldn’t recommend enough.

There is nothing more valuable than ensuring your child gets the best possible start in life. My wife and I are delighted that both our daughters have a place at this nursery. They are always so happy when we pick them up and that is in no small part thanks to the staff, who are all so enthusiastic
and passionate in their jobs. Both girls established really strong bonds with their assigned key workers and I have no doubt this helped them settle relatively quickly. We're always being told - or seeing photos - of how much they enjoy their time at nursery, going out for walks locally or enjoying a variety of play activities inside. The menu they enjoy is the envy of our household too! A lovely addition is the option to take up Spanish and French lessons, and our eldest even came home one day and recited 1-10 in Japanese! Would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery.

Both of my daughters love attending Little Monkeys Day Nursery. They both started in the Cheeky Chimp room and my eldest will be transitioning to the Pre-School room in August. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The variety of food is impressive! The location of the nursery is great as the kids
get to go out to the park or visit the local town / bus station / library on a regular basis. The nursery arranges wonderful extras, like mothers day tea, trips to the theatre at Christmas and have foreign languages teachers visit on a weekly basis. We are very happy with Little Monkeys and feel they provide a great stepping stone and preparation into school.

I simply cannot praise all the team at Little Monkeys Day Nursery enough! There isn’t one member of staff that doesn’t open the doors first thing and greet my daughter with a smile and there isn’t one member of staff that doesn’t hug her goodbye at the end of her day. She is made to feel special by
each and every one of them. She comes home and tells me nothing but stories of her fun day, where she has walked, who she has hugged and what music she has danced to.
The activities seem to be different daily meaning that little people are never bored. The meals are obviously better than Mummy and Daddy’s too, as each meal at pre-school is always her ‘favourite, ever’.
From nursery to preschool, the staff have paired her with a keyworker that is spot on for her.
We love Little Monkeys and wish she could stay forever!

My daughter has been attending Little Monkeys Day Nursery since she was 12 months old and is now nearly 4. We have been exceptionally happy with the high standard of care from the nursery as well as how well they have engaged and helped her to grow into a confident, happy little girl.
Never did I expect
that my 3 year old would be able to count to 10 in 4 different languages (English, Spanish, French and Japanese!) but she can! And that’s just one example of how Little Monkeys stands out from other nurseries - they encourage all the children to thrive.

My 22 month daughter loves Little Monkeys Day Nursery. She has been going since 11 months old. She is so excited to go to nursery in the morning and comes out with a huge smile on her face. The staff are so welcoming, friendly, supportive and caring. The daily activities are always so different and
creative. We love that the nursery is right next to the park so the children can have adventures there every day. The staff give us updates on the Famly app so we can see what our daughter is doing throughout the day. We are 100% happy with Little Monkeys. We know that our little one is having a great time learning, having fun and socialising. And the food sounds and looks amazing.

My son has been attending Little Monkeys Day Nursery since he was 9 months old and goes 5 days a week full time. He absolutely adores nursery and everyone who works there. He recently moved to his next play group and he settled in so well, this is a testament to the staff that are there as for any new
child to be in a new space and not know anyone can be daunting.
I would recommend Little Monkeys to anyone who was looking for a nursery.

She gets so excited to go to nursery and had developed so much since starting Little

Our little boy has been at Little Monkeys Day Nursery since he was 11 months old and he’s now in the toddler room. His settling in was great - he bonded naturally with his key worker and she supported him in the baby room and with his transition to the toddler room when he was ready. The staff are all
so lovely, professional, knowledgable and happy to see the children every day. The activities and play are such a great mix of learning and development alongside the freedom to make a mess and express preferences. We are so happy we picked Little Monkeys.

I would not put my kids anywhere else but Little Monkeys Day Nursery. Right from the off, the communication from the staff, management and most importantly from my child’s key worker was excellent.
Recently, we asked for a meeting with the room lead about how we can best support from home and the
discussion was set up so quickly with the addition of the SenCo lead. They put my husband and I at ease and we came away so relieved at our child’s progress at Nursery.
We are very thankful for a loving and nurturing environment for our child.
Thank you!

Having moved to this nursery after a bad experience at another I cannot express how glad I am to have joined Little Monkeys Day Nursery. The staff were warm and welcoming. My little boy was supported in settling in and exploring the new setting. The staff were thoughtful and kind. Having been at the
setting for a year now I can only speak highly of them. My child has thrived under their care. Science week inspired him, he has developed a love for reading and has learnt to form brilliant relationships with peers and adults. He is now school ready and confident to take his next steps thanks to the love and care he has received. The staff go the extra mile and the voice of the child is valued at every stage.

My kids love going to the nursery. It’s a very calm environment and the kids learn so many new skills and languages! It’s brilliant that the nursery takes the kids out in the town, parks, pet shops and elderly homes so the kids have the opportunity to spend some energy and learn about life. The teachers
are very professional and friendly, the activities are suitable for the kids ages and the food is super tasty and healthy. This nursery is the best decision ever!

Our child has been at Little Monkeys Day Nursery from just before he turned one. He has moved through the various rooms and is now about to embark on his new world at school. Throughout our time using Little Monkeys we have been impressed with the care they have provided. They quickly respond to
any queries and are always helpful. The staff who have been in the rooms have always been cheerful and show a genuine care for their progression. We would be happy to recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.777)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.777) out of 10 for Little Monkeys Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.777 for Little Monkeys Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (404 Excellents x 5) + (67 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 488 Ratings = 4.777

  • 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 Monkeys Day Nursery is based on 40 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 120 number of registered child places is 24, which has been reached with 40 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.
