We are extremely happy with our child’s experience in Little Monkeys, always happy, engaged with the rest of the kids and all the staff. During the lockdown Little Monkeys has been amazing providing information and activities.

Staff are friendly and kind - my children love going there. My oldest formed a strong bond with his key worker and settled in extremely quick, as compared to his previous two nurseries. Management were very understanding over the Coronavirus period. I have seen strong development in their speech and
language skills in their time here.
Would strongly recommend!

It makes now 2 years my daughter is at Little Monkeys. When she started she couldn’t speak nor understand English. She is now perfectly fluent and even corrects my English. Little Monkeys have been great at accommodating the need of a trilingual child. My daughter is well looked after and is developing
well. I can only recommend this great nursery.

They are amazing, thank you for looking after our daughter and helping with her transition to reception.
They have been very supportive during the lockdown and have been in touch to let us know what is happening and provided resources to keep our daughter busy during this time.

My child has been part of Little Monkey’s family over two years. He started his journey in Little Monkeys from Bush Babies and now he is preschool green.
He had made amazing friends and he is always keen to go to nursery. There was even a day I had to bring him to nursery in the weekend just to ensure
him that it isn’t open.
He misses his child care key worker when he is not at nursery.
His development has been obvious and we as parents could see his transformation from a little toddler to a boy almost ready for school.
The staff in Little Monkeys are really friendly and very approachable. I could discuss any issues I had very openly and their reaction to issues has been very consolidating.
Just not seconding the posted rating but with my personal look and feel experience, I can confidently say that Little Monkeys is the best of the lot in Horsham.
I strongly recommend Little Monkeys to parents looking for a nursery for their child. Thank you.

My son has been attending Little Monkeys full-time since his first birthday in May 2017. His experience has been nothing short of fantastic. He had no trouble settling in to the Bush Babies room and even at such a young age we could see he was eager to go to nursery. Three years on and this has not
changed - he is still excited every morning about the prospect of going to nursery. He has been attending Little Monkeys since he was quite young so he has been in all the different age-groups: Bush Babies, Cheeky Chimps, and Pre-school Green and I think that all three rooms are very well equipped, and all the staff are extremely caring, nurturing, and passionate about the children's learning. He has learned an incredible amount in such a short space of time and I think that they have prepared him well for starting school in September. Communication between parents and the nursery is excellent, the food menu is amazing, and they are right next to Horsham Park which is a real bonus.

I'm very happy with Little Monkeys.
The space looks like a lot of fun, they have several big rooms and a small garden. They're also located next to Horsham Park which is great for kids.
The staff is very competent and dealing with management was straightforward.
There is a good emphasis on nutrition
with diet plans that look nutritionally well balanced.
They handled the COVID crisis very well and were prompt, sensible and responsive in their communication.
It's still early for me to evaluate the learning impact but I've heard positive things from friends with kids who attended the nursery for longer than my son.

My son has been going to the nursery since Jan 2018 and he is now in preschool. This is really the most amazing nursery. Every step of my son's development has been supported and encouraged. During the COVID-19 lockdown, we received regular updates and messages from the nursery. Sending him back was
a real worry for me and they made it so easy and I know and feel that the health and well of all the children is the highest priority. My son has thrived in Little Monkeys and I would recommend it to everyone.

Both of my daughters have attended Little Monkeys and have absolutely loved it! As a parent, I have always felt completely comfortable leaving my children in the care of the wonderful staff who are caring and nurturing. My eldest is now at school and Little Monkeys really helped set her up for the school
environment. My youngest is starting school this year so it will be sad to be leaving Little Monkeys behind having been a part of our lives for 6 years. I would have no hesitation in recommending Little Monkeys to anyone.

Our son has been attending Little Monkeys for almost four years and he absolutely loves it. The care he has received at every level of his development has been fantastic. The staff are lovely to deal with and I know he is in safe hands every morning we drop him off. They have always been incredibly
accommodating to his needs and to ours as a family. We look forward to continuing our relationship with the nursery when our little girl starts attending in 2021.
The new hygiene and structural measures they have in place in light of COVID-19 are very thorough and they are perfectly located at the edge of Horsham Park to utilise the outdoor space as much as possible. Our son couldn’t wait to return after the temporary closure and we feel confident the nursery are doing everything possible to eliminate any risk to staff, children, and their families.

Having had my eldest go through Little Monkeys and seen the way she flourished whilst having fun and making friends, it was a no brainier her sister should follow suit. Both have absolutely enjoyed the play, fun, learning and so much more. Some of the staff are like family and they have such a welcoming
attitude. Been the best 6 years (time span of both kids attending) of their life’s thus far and many memories made. Eldest's two best friends originated from here, and the families are dear friends. Been to weddings, parties and more. Friendly, family-like and just good fun. Thank you!

A lovely nursery situated right in the heart of town. Little Monkeys has been a brilliant day nursery to send my son to. The staff are always smiling and there’s lots of lovely colourful artwork on the walls. We’re always impressed with their 2 weekly menu and know our son is getting a good variation
of nutritional meals.
Activities seem to be endless and my son always has a huge grin on his face at the end of each day.
In the group my son is in, it can quite often seem overcrowded with children. Pick up time with parents is a little chaotic (pre lockdown) and quite often handovers are lacking in detail. It’s a busy nursery, so we appreciate time isn’t always of the essence but more detail would be nice.
Overall, we are very happy with the service Little Monkeys provides.

Excellent nursery, with amazing friendly staff who have gone the extra mile to make sure my son is happy and settled. They spend plenty of time out and about in the park and on walks, my son cannot wait to tell me what he’s been up to all morning when I pick him up. Everything at the nursery is done
to such a high standard and so much effort is put into all aspects of the day from the children’s daily activities and learning, supporting the transition during potty training to their healthy and varied menu. I really cannot recommend Little Monkeys enough.

COVID-19 has been a new and unexceptional occurrence that the nursery have dealt with efficiently and effectively.
My son has now returned back to nursery where he has fun, loves

Just wanted to say how amazing all of the staff and management at Little Monkeys have been during lockdown. They did not charge us any fees while children were not able to attend the nursery. Even now they are allowed back they are keeping places open with no fees, even if parents don’t feel comfortable
sending their children back. So impressed that they have been super communicative throughout. I had a call from the key worker last week to ensure I was happy about my daughter going back and to walk me through the new process for check in. Wonderful nursery with amazing staff!
My little one loves going here and all of the nursery staff are amazing. She loves the mixed menu provided by the onsite chef and has developed so well here.

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.
