Review from S B (Mother of Child) published on 28 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at Little Monkeys for 4 months now, starting at 10 months old, and we have seen SUCH a huge leap in her development since attending the nursery just 2 days a week. She has become so sociable and has even made some little friends! She loves going to nursery and quite often doesn't even look back when we drop her off in the morning! The nursery staff are so genuinely caring towards the children and you can tell they really love what they do. The nursery organise exciting and stimulating activities for them, from painting and role play to fun buggy trips out and group activities. The meals are always varied and nutritious thanks to the in-house chef! I'm so pleased we chose for her to go to Little Monkeys, we wouldn't send her anywhere else :)

Review from Lucy P (Mother of Child) published on 28 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child is always happy to attend Little Monkeys Day Nursery (and has been since he started at 9 months old). He loves going to nursery and often talks fondly of the people he knows there when he is at home. Little Monkeys have helped him grow both personally and academically in every room he's been too. The staff always have time for the parents and give a good update of the child's day. If there has been any incidents the app is updated quickly and a follow up conversation is done at handover. I am very happy with all aspects of the nursery.

Review from Alice G (Mother of Child) published on 26 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We actually came to little monkeys from a previous childcare provider that was truly an awful experience. Leaving both us and our son distrusting and nervous about starting a new setting.
I was always told that it's "normal" for your child to cry and not like hand overs, that they'll "get used to it" and you just sort of have to get on with it.
I also know how awful that is to hear and experience as a parent, specially when you have no other choice but to go back to work.
I have to say, I was terrified with him starting here. The place looked good, children happy, staff present and switched on etc
But oh my goodness.
He's SO happy here. Never a tear on drop offs. Not even once! He's so happy to see Sophie and his other friends at nursery. He "talks" non stop about his drawings and how his day went.
The staff are so receptive and I never feel as though I'm being a pain (even when I'm definitely being a pain.)

Cannot thank little monkeys enough!!

We love Little Monkeys! The staff are warm, caring, and fantastic with the kids. Our child has grown so much in confidence and always comes home happy. They are so ready for school now! The communication is great, and the environment is safe, clean, and fun. Highly recommend as been at the nursery for over 3 years now!

Review from R W (Mother of Child) published on 20 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Although children go out for walks in the town/park, there is little outside space for the children. The very limited o/s space there is only goes to the older children - which seems deeply unfair. Although being told this would change (for over a year now) - it never has, nor can I see it. I am unsure what "learning" (if any) takes place as I am not told. I am aware of painting and messy play, but not more than that. I am unsure of any resources they have available - how frequently they rotate the books/toys etc.
The nursery has a "smell" to it which my child comes home smelling of.
The staff are lovely and I do believe care for the children and are fond of them (and the children are fond of the staff in return).

I would like to have more parents evenings to discuss development. Trying to get a conversation at pick up/drop off is chaotic and impossible.

Review from Olga B (Mother of Child) published on 19 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Overall, my children seem generally happy and well-settled, which is lovely to see. Staff are kind and attentive, and the atmosphere is welcoming. However, I have noticed a decline in food quality since the new management company took over, which is disappointing. I also feel that the nursery could benefit from a more thorough and regular clean, as some areas don't seem as fresh as they could be.

The activities provided are age-appropriate, but they don't always appear to stretch or challenge the children's learning and development. Introducing more stimulating and varied opportunities could help children reach their full potential while still keeping activities fun and engaging.

Little Monkeys has been a great nursery for our 3 year old. He loves all the activities they do and the walks they go on. Having the app updated is so helpful to know what he's been up to each day and the women who work there are all really wonderful and caring. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for convenient childcare.

Little Monkeys have been great since we joined 3 years ago with our eldest. Now my youngest is there in the Cheeky Chimps (2ish year olds) room and loves it. He's always doing a range of activities set by the staff and has lots of friends. He has a great key worker who pays close attention to his development

Our daughter loves it at Little Monkeys. We feel so happy sending her there knowing how much fun she has and how well cared for she is. One of the main reasons is the fantastic staff, especially one of the staff in Cheeky Chimps. She is incredible, our daughter adores her and talks about her 'best friend' all the time.

My daughter almost always comes out of nursery with a big smile on her face, excited to tell me about all the things she has done that day. She is very confident and sociable, and I believe her experiences at nursery have helped her to develop those skills.

Our daughter has been at Little Monkeys since she was 10 months old and is now due to leave for school. The staff have always been so kind, communicative and enthusiastic. They have helped my daughter develop and grow over the years and her buzz going into nursery is contagious. She has build uncredible friendship which has been beautiful to see. We have never had any fault in the food, staff, facilities or curriculum at little monkey. Thank you to the team!!

Our daughter flourished while she was at Little Monkeys and she was very well looked after. We can't praise the staff enough. They all helped in getting my child ready to start big school. We would like to give a special mention to ten members of staff in particular and all the others who made my child's time at Little Monkeys very special. Wonderful seeing her grow and develop through your care.

My child is currently in Bush Babies and he loves it, he goes in smiling and waving at me and comes out the same! The children are often taken out to the park and the town and do lots of varied activities. He eats and sleeps well and we are very happy with the updates via the app so we can see what he's been up to. All the staff are lovely and genuinely care for and about the children.

Review from E P (Mother of Child) published on 4 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter loves the nursery, my issue is with the corporation that bought this nursery last year and made unfair and uneven adjustments to the fees throughout the age groups. When they changed the prices in December 2023, I was made aware by other parents that if your child had turned 3 by December 2023, they paid 130 pounds (standard price) less than a child who turned 3 from January 2024. They circulated 3 different fees, all of which stated that the fees were standardized to all children from 0-5.
Basically, a child who turned 3 by 2023 had one set of fees.
A child that hadn't turned 3 by December 2023 was subjected to a higher charge.
There was also a different set of fees for children who were to start at the nursery.

This is a disappointment on how a corporate takes unfair and uneven changes on a technicality such as turning 3 by Dec 2023. My child will be paying more for the same services than those lucky children born by Dec 2023 will have.
