As we are coming to the end of our daughters time in tbe bush babies, we couldn’t have asked for better care and love for our daughter. Little Monkeys Day Nursery provide an amazing environment for her to develop and feel comfortable. Thank you for everything bush babies team!

My second child is about to graduate from Little Monkeys Day Nursery and it is so sad to say goodbye to an amazing nursery.
Both of my girls have loved their time here and made some amazing memories and lifelong friends!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children have been to Little Monkeys Day Nursery. My oldest one is now finishing reception but still remembers going to there and mentions the staff with great regard and joy.
My youngest is still there and she always points at her “big school” with pride and joy whenever we are passing by.
She bonded very quickly with her key worker and deeply loves her. In the morning always greets her with a big smile and lots of cuddles showing genuine happiness to see her. She is now also part of the family.
I particularly like their outings that can take the children to explore the town centre, the library or the park. They have a small garden but a huge park nearby and make use of it regularly.
I really only have positive things to say about Little Monkeys as both my children always have been very well taken care off and are safe, which are the most important priorities for me.
So thank you everyone at Little Monkeys for your support to my family for the past two and a half years!

Every time I come to pick up my Granddaughter, I'm greeted with the same friendliness and happy faces from the staff. My granddaughter is always in a lovely calm mood too, which makes the rest of our day more fun. She couldn't be in better hands.

My daughter (1) and son (3) both go to Little Monkeys Day Nursery and have both love it there. My daughter's connection with her keyworker is amazing and reassuring to have, and my son thrives in the class he is in.
Each day there are new activities they do that help support their development. We are
kept up to date with the app and can respond very closely in real time. It is wonderful to see what they are up to and have pictures/memories to see of their day. We are encouraged to share activities we do at home or things they want to try and the team will work to incorporate it into their themed activities for the month.
Food menus are given ahead of time and parents can share any menu ideas. They both eat so well that I get a little jealous.
There are two small outdoor spaces, but the best thing is the walks the children have, rain or shine. Right next to the park or into town to see the buses, both mine love it.
A fantastic place that encourages friendships, independence and fun learning. 100% recommend.

A child focused nursery with dedicated staff.
My daughter has been there since she was 8 months old and she has thrived due to the care of the staff here. It is a stable and consistent staff team with good leadership.
There are so many fun and thoughtful activities and no day seems to be the same.
There is a commitment to learning and being school ready without pressure. These include the opportunity to learn languages, regular trips and messy play.
Any issues I have raised (which have always been minor) have been addressed quickly (often the same day) with compassion and respect.
We are sad to be leaving for school this year but ready thanks to this fabulous nursery.

Both of my daughters attend Little Monkeys and I am over the moon with how settled and happy they are there. The staff are all really helpful and seem to really learn the children’s personalities and ensure their interests are available for them to play with. Both of my daughters have outstanding key
workers and their room leaders are brilliant too. One of my daughters has a severe allergy and the nursery have been absolutely fantastic at managing that. As a parent of a child with a severe allergy full trust that all staff in the placement are aware of how severe it is and how they can all handle/support an anaphylactic shock is extremely important to us. I have always found the nursery staff to be very approachable and all give a detailed handover at pick up. Thank you for being the best everyone!

A wonderfully friendly nursery that really values each individual child. My 2 children absolutely love going to nursery every day and have built solid relationships with every member of staff. The children are well cared for in a safe and interactive environment and the team make use of outdoor space
and the local area to build learning through play. Can't fault the care given to my children. Thank you team!

We have always been extremely happy with Little Monkeys Day Nursery and the way the staff care for and nurture our children.
Our eldest daughter went when she was 13 months old until she left for school. She absolutely loved her time there, made lots of friends and still talks about the staff that
looked after her. Our second daughter is currently in the Cheeky Chimps room. The team at Little Monkeys play such an important part in her development and offers plenty of activities that support this. The children also have the opportunity to go to the park or into town as these are on the doorstep of the nursery. Our youngest will start at Little Monkeys next year.
The food is really varied and prepared fresh on site by the kitchen team.
The management and admin team are always very helpful should you need to contact them.

We couldn't be happier with Little Monkeys Day Nursery. They are a fantastic team who have made our son feel extremely welcome and content. Since he started attending a year ago, his development has been incredible to see. He settled in well and seems really happy there. His two key workers so far have
been wonderful; they have spent lots of time getting to know and understand him and we are kept regularly updated on his progress. The management team are very helpful and responsive. The activities are fun and varied and he enjoys all the food. We have no concerns at all and couldn't recommend it highly enough! Thanks to the fantastic Little Monkeys team!

My little boy started here just under a year ago.
The staff are really attentive and caring towards him and nothing has ever been too much trouble.
When he transitioned to the toddler room, the staff were very reassuring and communicative with the process.
Since being in the toddler room he has
thrived and has a good bond with all staff in the room.
I'm so pleased we picked this nursery and that he enjoys going. Couldn’t recommend enough.

There is nothing more valuable than ensuring your child gets the best possible start in life. My wife and I are delighted that both our daughters have a place at this nursery. They are always so happy when we pick them up and that is in no small part thanks to the staff, who are all so enthusiastic
and passionate in their jobs. Both girls established really strong bonds with their assigned key workers and I have no doubt this helped them settle relatively quickly. We're always being told - or seeing photos - of how much they enjoy their time at nursery, going out for walks locally or enjoying a variety of play activities inside. The menu they enjoy is the envy of our household too! A lovely addition is the option to take up Spanish and French lessons, and our eldest even came home one day and recited 1-10 in Japanese! Would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery.

Both of my daughters love attending Little Monkeys Day Nursery. They both started in the Cheeky Chimp room and my eldest will be transitioning to the Pre-School room in August. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The variety of food is impressive! The location of the nursery is great as the kids
get to go out to the park or visit the local town / bus station / library on a regular basis. The nursery arranges wonderful extras, like mothers day tea, trips to the theatre at Christmas and have foreign languages teachers visit on a weekly basis. We are very happy with Little Monkeys and feel they provide a great stepping stone and preparation into school.

I simply cannot praise all the team at Little Monkeys Day Nursery enough! There isn’t one member of staff that doesn’t open the doors first thing and greet my daughter with a smile and there isn’t one member of staff that doesn’t hug her goodbye at the end of her day. She is made to feel special by
each and every one of them. She comes home and tells me nothing but stories of her fun day, where she has walked, who she has hugged and what music she has danced to.
The activities seem to be different daily meaning that little people are never bored. The meals are obviously better than Mummy and Daddy’s too, as each meal at pre-school is always her ‘favourite, ever’.
From nursery to preschool, the staff have paired her with a keyworker that is spot on for her.
We love Little Monkeys and wish she could stay forever!

My daughter has been attending Little Monkeys Day Nursery since she was 12 months old and is now nearly 4. We have been exceptionally happy with the high standard of care from the nursery as well as how well they have engaged and helped her to grow into a confident, happy little girl.
Never did I expect
that my 3 year old would be able to count to 10 in 4 different languages (English, Spanish, French and Japanese!) but she can! And that’s just one example of how Little Monkeys stands out from other nurseries - they encourage all the children to thrive.

My son has been attending Little Monkeys Day Nursery since he was 9 months old and goes 5 days a week full time. He absolutely adores nursery and everyone who works there. He recently moved to his next play group and he settled in so well, this is a testament to the staff that are there as for any new
child to be in a new space and not know anyone can be daunting.
I would recommend Little Monkeys to anyone who was looking for a nursery.

Our daughter started Little Monkeys Day Nursery in December 2021 when she was 10 months old - I don’t have a bad word to say about the staff, the nursery, the amount of wonderful food and all of the rooms she plays in! She gets so excited to go to nursery and had developed so much since starting Little
Monkeys - I highly recommend!

Our little boy has been at Little Monkeys Day Nursery since he was 11 months old and he’s now in the toddler room. His settling in was great - he bonded naturally with his key worker and she supported him in the baby room and with his transition to the toddler room when he was ready. The staff are all
so lovely, professional, knowledgable and happy to see the children every day. The activities and play are such a great mix of learning and development alongside the freedom to make a mess and express preferences. We are so happy we picked Little Monkeys.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.736)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.736) out of 10 for Little Monkeys Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.736 for Little Monkeys Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (365 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 443 Ratings = 4.736
  2. 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 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 34 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
