All the staff, from management to room staff are excellent. They are very polite and always ready to help you if you have any concerns about your child. My little one learned so quickly and learns something new every day. I would definitely recommend this nursery to others.

I really couldn’t ask for any more - it is such a lovely feeling knowing that my little one loves this place and feels so safe and comfortable. The activities are so creative and I love it when I am greeted by my daughter with treats that she has baked or gifts that she has created. The staff are incredibly
friendly, efficient, professional and personable.

Impressive atmosphere for children, it is fun and bright and I think that it provides backdrop for effective learning. The staff seem to have a passion for what they do. They are very friendly and approachable. My children really enjoy their time at the nursery.

My son has been attending Little Monkeys since he was seven months. The staff are amazing and go above and beyond daily. My son loves it and barely waves goodbye to us as we drop him off as he's so keen to get in. They have developed a nurturing environment in which the children can explore, be creative
and guided through each mini-milestone. The progress folders kept for each child are so lovely with personalised photos, artwork and observations. The staff build up such a lovely relationship with the children, and even though we have moved up to the toddler room, his key workers from the baby room still stop and say hello and ask how he is doing. The meals served sound delicious, and my son is often having second helpings. We couldn't ask for a better nursery!

Good nursery with lovely staff and attentive front office. My kids loved going to nursery and mostly had fun days. The best part is, they go outdoors every day and the kids enjoy that most. I sometimes feel nursery is bit crowded ( with the size of the place) and quiet kids get lost in the crowd.

My son joined Little Monkeys when he was 11 months and has progressed through the different rooms to preschool. He has always been very happy, despite some emotional drop-offs (him and me). The staff were extremely supportive and worked with us on very successful strategies to improve this. He surprises
us with his learning and development every week and comes home from nursery full of excitement as he tells us about his day. He absolutely loves the Forest School activities available and going out for walks.
There was no question that our youngest son would go to Little Monkeys too, and he joined the baby room in September, and he has settled in so well. I am looking forward to seeing him follow in his brother's footsteps. His favourite activity is definitely meal times, and the variety of food available for them to try is fantastic. The staff have always been lovely and, I have total faith that the boys are in safe hands, and more importantly, having lots of fun whilst we are at work.

Little Monkeys has provided outstanding care for our son over the last three years. He has loved every minute and we feel that the staff at Little Monkeys, several of whom have looked after him since he was a baby, have provided him with love, security and stimulation which have helped him become the
lovable, confident little boy he is today. When delays to his communication skills were identified, the SEN support we received was brilliant, with Little Monkeys staff working alongside NHS speech therapists. We couldn't have asked for better carers for our little boy - we are not sure how we will manage to say goodbye next month as he leaves for primary school!

Little Monkeys are absolutely amazing! My daughter loves going there and we will certainly miss the lovely teachers when she goes to primary school in September. Lovely, 'family-like' atmosphere means the children just love Little Monkeys. We have two children and we've gone through a lot of different
childminders and nurseries over the years but this one is by far the best we've ever experienced!

My son has been attending Little Monkeys since he was eleven months old. He's now three and still loves every minute. The staff are kind, fun and very approachable and the range of activities available to the children is brilliant. My son has learnt so much and thrives in the environment you provide.

Preschool is excellent for a caring, nurturing environment. The food is mostly healthy and the children get a good amount of outdoor play. Toddlers room - again caring and nurturing environment with lots of activities. Far too much TV time in my opinion and not enough outdoor time but otherwise very
good.

My children are very happy to come to nursery and they have so much fun.
The nursery offers so much - Spanish, French, gardening club, forest school.
There are plenty of rooms for the children to access such as a classroom, ICT room, art room and sensory room to prepare the children for school.
All
the staff are friendly and always there if you need help and have a great bond with all the children.
The kitchen staff provide an excellent variety of healthy meals for the children. Amazing nursery.

I am so happy with Little Monkeys. My child is so well cared for, she has such a wonderful relationship with the staff.
So much effort is put into entertaining the children, teaching them and always showing them so much love and care.
My child is in an excellent routine - eats, sleeps and is so happy.
The
nursery facilities are very nice, new and clean.

I am a huge fan of Little Monkeys.
Both my children went there. My eldest only went to preschool for a year but I never saw him as happy. He grew in confidence and they prepared him for school in the best way possible. Giving him an appetite for learning and getting excited for big school. My youngest
daughter started earlier this year in the baby room. The staff have been brilliant and she is now flourishing. She loves going and has grown beautifully into a confident little girl. Couldn't recommend Little Monkeys highly enough.
Best nursery in Horsham - West Sussex even!

We have been with this nursery for over 6 years. It has been brilliant. The staff are amazing and really care for the children. Even though I put poor for the outside space it is fantastic that the children get to go out twice a day and play. Overall very very happy.

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.
