Fantastic staff who provide amazing care and loads of activities for the children. My only recommendation for improvement would be the menu to include less cakes and ice cream below 2y but otherwise everything is great.

My daughter has been very happy at Little Monkeys since she has attended. The facilities are excellent, up-to-date, well cared for and very safe. The staff really make the whole place though. Very friendly, flexible and approachable, always happy and full of beans! Whenever we had a concern we spoke
with the staff and they were always extremely helpful, knowledgeable and willing to help us with any issues.

I am very impressed with the standard of service at Little Monkeys and have been from day one. The staff are professional, friendly, empathetic and very knowledgeable. When completing drop off you walk away with a smile knowing that they are committed to a safe space for my niece to develop. Although
as any child she had her teething problems at the start and the staff were so supportive and soon she was looking forward to going to nursery.
She has developed so much and this is because of the amazing skills of her key worker and all staff members.
Having daily updates on what she is doing is so nice because it makes you feel part of her day.
Im also very impressed with the management team. Throughout some tough times they have managed to ensure the nursery runs smoothly and although their jobs must be tough their smiles and impeccable customer service never fades.

A fabulous nursery. Staff both teaching and admin are brilliant. Really friendly and knowledgeable. They have time for your query no matter how silly or small. Good variety of activities and food. I felt confident and comfortable for my child to be in their care. He was with them from 10 months to 4
years. He had a great time, made good friends and loved his time there. Would 100% recommend.

I have been very impressed with the nursery overall. The staff are caring, friendly and professional. They were very reassuring at the setting in period. The experiences the children receive are just amazing and so educational. Really couldn’t recommend the nursery enough and feels so reassuring knowing
my child is receiving outstanding care.

A brilliant Nursery that has given my son the best start to education. They provide modern facilities and a very good one to one interaction with children. My son even takes Spanish lessons! The organisation is very good and children seem to enjoy their experience there. I would recommend it to any
parents looking to put their child in.

Little monkeys have been the most wonderful experience for both of my kids who both joined when they were eleven months old. It is remarkable the new things they share with us every day when they come home.
It is a happy and nurturing environment and an amazing place for kids to thrive and grow, which
both mine have in spades.
The staff have gone above and beyond every day and are tremendously kind and loving.

Our son loves going to the nursery every day. He started when he was 7-months, and the team made it so easy. They couldn't have been more supportive. He has turned into such a confident, happy little boy who has made huge leaps in his development.
He is also a really great eater, and I think that
is mainly down to the food and the variety that the nursery provide.
Would highly recommend.

We moved to Horsham in August and for my eldest it was a nursery change, during a pandemic. He settled so quickly and it was because the staff were so encouraging and welcoming. My eldest has blossomed in preschool since the change, it really is a fantastic environment, with fantastic staff. For my
youngest, it was the start of his nursery journey, he did struggle to settle but staff were helpful and encouraging for us both. He has now moved up a room and just loves nursery and the staff. The food cooked on site by the chef is also amazing, both my kids eat everything.

I have had three children gone through Little Monkeys Day Nursery, over a period of seven years. I cannot think of any reason that I wouldn't recommend them. Their quality to care is exceptional. My children have never not wanted to go and go out buzzing and happy every time. Their activities and food
options are always what I would describe as not dated. They are always chopping and changing options. I would recommend and have recommend to friends over and over. Thanks Little Monkeys Day Nursery for everything over the past years.

My daughter has attended Little Monkeys Day Nursery since July 2020 and we are extremely happy with the decision we made. The staff are really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. She loves her time there. I can’t thank them enough for all the hard work and enthusiasm that they put into everything they
do with the kids. Now they even have an app where they share daily activities, what they have eaten and pictures. A really amazing place!

Little Monkeys Day Nursery took great care of our little daughter since she was one years old. The staff is always smiling and was always helpful and supportive, if I ever have a concern I can always reach out to our daughter's key worker and she will take the time to discuss with me whatever concern
I have. We went through a very tough time as a family last year and our child's key worker was very supportive and even offered us extra help with our daughter in case we needed it. We were particularly impressed by the outstanding way Little Monkeys Day Nursery managed things throughout the pandemic. The pick up and drop offs always worked well and we were pleased to see the pandemic didn't impact the quality of the service provided. Even in terms of food we heard that other nurseries in the area started giving children only sandwiches at lunchtime during the pandemic and parents were quite disappointed by this. However this didn't happen at Little Monkeys Day Nursery and we were quite pleased with this.

Today was the last day of preschool for my son and he has been at Little Monkey's since he was one. He has had the most fantastic time, and for us, as parents, Little Monkey's has been the most nurturing, happy place for him. All the staff care so much for the kids and do the most excellent job, which
has been highlighted over the last 6-months! Communication is great, and we have had the utmost confidence in the approach that they have taken. My son has had a number of key workers, all of whom have taken the time to really know who he is and have helped him become the confident, information loving little person who is now, fully equipped for school. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery and all the fantastic staff!

Both my children have attended Little Monkeys, and it is hard to express what an amazing experience they both have had. I have had no concerns and would not hesitate to recommend it to other parents. My older child has additional needs, and Little Monkeys went above and beyond to meet his needs, and
provide an inclusive environment for him. Both children were well prepared to move on, but we are very sad to be leaving for good now the youngest is starting school!

Our daughter has been attending Little Monkeys since just before she was one. In every room, the staff have been caring, kind and compassionate towards her as well as all the other children. They are always happy to discuss any concerns as well as share all the details of the day that you, as a parent,
would want to know.
Although there is not a lot of outdoor space, they make good use of the park when the weather allows.
The management team are approachable and take on suggestions and feedback. The staff at Little Monkeys have done a fantastic job more recently in ensuring a smooth transition back to nursery following the reopening during the current pandemic. They have followed the government guidelines to ensure everyone is kept safe but have maintained the reassuring and friendly welcome to the children in order to make them feel happy about coming back after such a long time off.
I have and will continue to, recommend the nursery to others.

I could not have chosen a better nursery to send my children to, my 8-year-old attended and now my son, he started when he was 14 weeks old, the staff are second to none, the management very friendly and helpful, when I drop my son off to the baby room, I feel like I'm dropping him off to family, in
the scary uncertain time with the lockdown, the staff have made the transition back to nursery amazing and made sure the kids' happiness is their priority, the food the children get fed is wonderful, the chefs work extremely hard putting the menus together, to see my little boy run into nursery every morning makes me feel a lot happier about leaving him for work, thank you Little Monkeys you're all amazing!

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.
