Very happy with the level of care and support received at Little Monkeys Day Nursery - both educationally and emotionally. Feedback is regular and apparently the food is brilliant! Very happy little boy generally.

Having moved to this nursery after a bad experience at another I cannot express how glad I am to have joined Little Monkeys Day Nursery. The staff were warm and welcoming. My little boy was supported in settling in and exploring the new setting. The staff were thoughtful and kind. Having been at the
setting for a year now I can only speak highly of them. My child has thrived under their care. Science week inspired him, he has developed a love for reading and has learnt to form brilliant relationships with peers and adults. He is now school ready and confident to take his next steps thanks to the love and care he has received. The staff go the extra mile and the voice of the child is valued at every stage.

My child loves Little Monkeys Day Nursery! She goes in happily without looking back, she has a great time doing a variety of activities and we have noticed her development progressing massively with the Little Monkeys team's input. The team clearly care and are devoted to giving the little ones the

My kids love going to the nursery. It’s a very calm environment and the kids learn so many new skills and languages! It’s brilliant that the nursery takes the kids out in the town, parks, pet shops and elderly homes so the kids have the opportunity to spend some energy and learn about life. The teachers
are very professional and friendly, the activities are suitable for the kids ages and the food is super tasty and healthy. This nursery is the best decision ever!

Our child has been at Little Monkeys Day Nursery from just before he turned one. He has moved through the various rooms and is now about to embark on his new world at school. Throughout our time using Little Monkeys we have been impressed with the care they have provided. They quickly respond to
any queries and are always helpful. The staff who have been in the rooms have always been cheerful and show a genuine care for their progression. We would be happy to recommend.

Our little one is so happy there. The staff are lovely and we can tell our girl loves every single one of them. It’s so nice and reassuring to go to work knowing she’s having the time of her life and being well cared for. I’d never go anywhere else and can’t recommend Little Monkeys Day Nursery enough!

Fantastic staff who provide amazing care and loads of activities for the children. My only recommendation for improvement would be the menu to include less cakes and ice cream below 2y but otherwise everything is great.

My daughter has been very happy at Little Monkeys since she has attended. The facilities are excellent, up-to-date, well cared for and very safe. The staff really make the whole place though. Very friendly, flexible and approachable, always happy and full of beans! Whenever we had a concern we spoke
with the staff and they were always extremely helpful, knowledgeable and willing to help us with any issues.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very impressed with the standard of service at Little Monkeys and have been from day one. The staff are professional, friendly, empathetic and very knowledgeable. When completing drop off you walk away with a smile knowing that they are committed to a safe space for my niece to develop. Although
as any child she had her teething problems at the start and the staff were so supportive and soon she was looking forward to going to nursery.
She has developed so much and this is because of the amazing skills of her key worker and all staff members.
Having daily updates on what she is doing is so nice because it makes you feel part of her day.
Im also very impressed with the management team. Throughout some tough times they have managed to ensure the nursery runs smoothly and although their jobs must be tough their smiles and impeccable customer service never fades.

A fabulous nursery. Staff both teaching and admin are brilliant. Really friendly and knowledgeable. They have time for your query no matter how silly or small. Good variety of activities and food. I felt confident and comfortable for my child to be in their care. He was with them from 10 months to 4
years. He had a great time, made good friends and loved his time there. Would 100% recommend.

A brilliant Nursery that has given my son the best start to education. They provide modern facilities and a very good one to one interaction with children. My son even takes Spanish lessons! The organisation is very good and children seem to enjoy their experience there. I would recommend it to any
parents looking to put their child in.

Little monkeys have been the most wonderful experience for both of my kids who both joined when they were eleven months old. It is remarkable the new things they share with us every day when they come home.
It is a happy and nurturing environment and an amazing place for kids to thrive and grow, which
both mine have in spades.
The staff have gone above and beyond every day and are tremendously kind and loving.

Our son loves going to the nursery every day. He started when he was 7-months, and the team made it so easy. They couldn't have been more supportive. He has turned into such a confident, happy little boy who has made huge leaps in his development.
He is also a really great eater, and I think that
is mainly down to the food and the variety that the nursery provide.
Would highly recommend.

We moved to Horsham in August and for my eldest it was a nursery change, during a pandemic. He settled so quickly and it was because the staff were so encouraging and welcoming. My eldest has blossomed in preschool since the change, it really is a fantastic environment, with fantastic staff. For my
youngest, it was the start of his nursery journey, he did struggle to settle but staff were helpful and encouraging for us both. He has now moved up a room and just loves nursery and the staff. The food cooked on site by the chef is also amazing, both my kids eat everything.

I have had three children gone through Little Monkeys Day Nursery, over a period of seven years. I cannot think of any reason that I wouldn't recommend them. Their quality to care is exceptional. My children have never not wanted to go and go out buzzing and happy every time. Their activities and food
options are always what I would describe as not dated. They are always chopping and changing options. I would recommend and have recommend to friends over and over. Thanks Little Monkeys Day Nursery for everything over the past years.

My daughter has attended Little Monkeys Day Nursery since July 2020 and we are extremely happy with the decision we made. The staff are really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. She loves her time there. I can’t thank them enough for all the hard work and enthusiasm that they put into everything they
do with the kids. Now they even have an app where they share daily activities, what they have eaten and pictures. A really amazing place!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Little Monkeys Day Nursery took great care of our little daughter since she was one years old. The staff is always smiling and was always helpful and supportive, if I ever have a concern I can always reach out to our daughter's key worker and she will take the time to discuss with me whatever concern
I have. We went through a very tough time as a family last year and our child's key worker was very supportive and even offered us extra help with our daughter in case we needed it. We were particularly impressed by the outstanding way Little Monkeys Day Nursery managed things throughout the pandemic. The pick up and drop offs always worked well and we were pleased to see the pandemic didn't impact the quality of the service provided. Even in terms of food we heard that other nurseries in the area started giving children only sandwiches at lunchtime during the pandemic and parents were quite disappointed by this. However this didn't happen at Little Monkeys Day Nursery and we were quite pleased with this.

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.
