Great nursery, the staff are friendly and approachable, the children have the option of receiving 3x meals a day (no extra charge and dependent on hours) this is a great option for busy parents. Outings are also at no extra cost to parents, this is also the cheapest nursery I have used - with realistic
prices to match realistic wages, without sacrificing on any elements of standards of care the children receive. I would highly recommend this nursery. 10/10.

All you could ever want from a nursery and more. It's fantastic! Big bright beautiful rooms for kids to play in, all different toys to play with. Staff are amazing, really friendly and well qualified. My children love it and look forward to it. They love song time and story time the best. The food is
bought and freshly cooked every day. I am at ease to go to work when my children are there knowing they are happy and safe.


Can't rate the nursery highly enough as my children are developing well and have supported me in potty training etc.


Marvellous!

The best. Very, very happy. My kids come home happy and play and sing songs learnt in school.
They do more activities and organise. They pick up toys and are more independent kids. I'm very happy. A good quality nursery, a hard job and good teamwork. Very happy mum.
Thank you Mini Monkeys.

I see a big difference in my little boy since he started Mini Monkeys. He is really happy to go and talks about nursery and staff a lot at home, he particularly loves the garden.

I'm very happy with the nursery, my little boy used to be very shy but he's coming out of his shell. I see a big difference in him and a big difference in his eating. Staff are brilliant with the kids. Stunning nursery and if you had any worries you can give them a phone and they will answer your questions
right away. 5/5 STARS.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.916)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.916) out of 10 for Mini Monkeys is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.916 for Mini Monkeys is calculated as follows: ( (110 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.916

  • 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 Mini Monkeys is based on 10 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 10 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.
