Management - would like to know more of what's going on during the day ie what songs so I can sing with my daughter.
Facilities/Outside Space - free flow would be preferable.
I think the nursery is lovely- my daughter has developed so much since she started there and has gained so much confidence.
The staff are all really friendly and know all the children by name, even if they aren’t in their room.
Her development is their top priority and there are regular (every 8 weeks) progress reviews which are really useful.
The meals are freshly cooked on site and my daughter eats everything - she loves the food.
I would highly recommend Little Monkeys Day Nursery.

I have been involved with Little Monkeys for over 4 years with 2 of my grandchildren. I always enjoy my visits. Just a few personal thoughts - The nursery provides safe care. Rooms are bright and clean. The children always look happy and occupied with a variety of play and activities. I love to hear
details of my grandson's day so that he and I can discuss it later and follow up on anything he has particularly enjoyed. A last, very specific point - The staff work incredibly hard to understand and integrate all children, including any child with additional needs. The result is nursery provision of a high and caring quality.

Both my daughters have attended Little Monkeys from before their first birthdays. The oldest has moved up through all the rooms and is now in one of the Pre School classes. We couldn’t be happier with Little Monkeys. The staff are all brilliant and really make the nursery what it is - they are very
supportive of the children and you can tell they really care about them and have their best interests at heart. They offer such a variety of activities and take the children out for lots of outings around town and to the park. We love that in Pre School they have forest school, take the kids out for PE and offer language classes. The food is all cooked on site and there is such a good variety. Neither of our girls are fussy eaters and we think Little Monkeys has a lot to do with that. We have seen both girls grow in confidence and learn so much from the fantastic staff. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Little Monkeys Day Nursery to anyone.

Highly recommended this nursery! My daughter has grown up as an amazing and smart young lady. She enjoyed her 2 years at Little Monkeys, loved all of her teachers and activities. She will definitely gonna miss her preschool and her teachers.

Excellent nursery.
Take the time to ensure children settle in properly and really care for them.
Variety of activities and love the fact they do really broad outside activities to make up for the small garden and it involves real life things like trains, buses, shops etc.
All the staff are very
attentive and really get to know the child extremely quickly.
Love the variety of food the children eat.
Really enjoyed the getting the baby sheets, it's not quite the same when you just get told what they have done and not get to take home the record.

With help, support and care from Little Monkeys our 18month old daughter is independent, social, friendly and a very happy toddler! You can tell how much they care in the way of the folders they produce for each child. I'm also impressed with the amount they do, in terms of activities with the children.

Both my daughters have and are currently at Little Monkeys Day Nursery and they absolutely love it and all the staff. The things they learn there more than prepare them for school. They have helped to shape my children into the caring, intelligent, thoughtful and well-rounded people they will be and
you can't put a price on that. The love the staff show the children and the fun they have is honestly immeasurable. The best nursery in the world!

Little Monkeys have lovingly grown and cared for both of my daughters and I cannot recommend their nursery highly enough.
All staff are friendly and enthusiastic, the nursery has great facilities and equipment, plus have the added bonus of being situated next to Horsham park.

My son attended Little Monkeys from when he was eight and a half months old until leaving to start school.
The care, dedication, attention and education he received during this time was second to none. I absolutely credit the nursery team for his development during this time and for assisting him to
be the confident, independent, articulate and caring little man he is now.
Little Monkeys helped him from his first steps to preparing him for school and I couldn't have asked for more! Thank you!

I have two grandsons that attend this nursery who both enjoy their time there. They enjoy all the different activities and both have a good relationship with the staff. The younger one, in particular, eats everything plus seconds!

Continue to be impressed with the range of activities that the children are involved in. This is especially true of pre-school yellow. Children are very happy at nursery and continue to build strong relationships with peers and staff. Have noticed a reduction in quality of social media posts and written
correspondence - spellings etc. Children seem to love the food at the moment, often saying they had seconds - compliments to the chef! Really pleased to see some male members of staff. I think this is really important.

Amazing settings and staff, location is great and children enjoy outings to the town, park and forest. They have a playground and soft-play inside. Home cooked hearty meals to develop their taste buds. My son has been going since he was only 5 months old and absolutely loves it (he's now 3). Staff are
lovely and always ready to listen to concerns or help in any area.
Highly 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.
