Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
A lovely nursery situated right in the heart of town. Little Monkeys has been a brilliant day nursery to send my son to. The staff are always smiling and there’s lots of lovely colourful artwork on the walls. We’re always impressed with their 2 weekly menu and know our son is getting a good variation
of nutritional meals.
Activities seem to be endless and my son always has a huge grin on his face at the end of each day.
In the group my son is in, it can quite often seem overcrowded with children. Pick up time with parents is a little chaotic (pre lockdown) and quite often handovers are lacking in detail. It’s a busy nursery, so we appreciate time isn’t always of the essence but more detail would be nice.
Overall, we are very happy with the service Little Monkeys provides.

Excellent nursery, with amazing friendly staff who have gone the extra mile to make sure my son is happy and settled. They spend plenty of time out and about in the park and on walks, my son cannot wait to tell me what he’s been up to all morning when I pick him up. Everything at the nursery is done
to such a high standard and so much effort is put into all aspects of the day from the children’s daily activities and learning, supporting the transition during potty training to their healthy and varied menu. I really cannot recommend Little Monkeys enough.

Both my children have loved their time at Little Monkeys. The staff are warm and welcoming and always accommodating.
COVID-19 has been a new and unexceptional occurrence that the nursery have dealt with efficiently and effectively.
My son has now returned back to nursery where he has fun, loves
making new friends and takes part in such fun activities.

Just wanted to say how amazing all of the staff and management at Little Monkeys have been during lockdown. They did not charge us any fees while children were not able to attend the nursery. Even now they are allowed back they are keeping places open with no fees, even if parents don’t feel comfortable
sending their children back. So impressed that they have been super communicative throughout. I had a call from the key worker last week to ensure I was happy about my daughter going back and to walk me through the new process for check in. Wonderful nursery with amazing staff!
My little one loves going here and all of the nursery staff are amazing. She loves the mixed menu provided by the onsite chef and has developed so well here.

All the staff, from management to room staff are excellent. They are very polite and always ready to help you if you have any concerns about your child. My little one learned so quickly and learns something new every day. I would definitely recommend this nursery to others.

I really couldn’t ask for any more - it is such a lovely feeling knowing that my little one loves this place and feels so safe and comfortable. The activities are so creative and I love it when I am greeted by my daughter with treats that she has baked or gifts that she has created. The staff are incredibly
friendly, efficient, professional and personable.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Little Monkeys since he was seven months. The staff are amazing and go above and beyond daily. My son loves it and barely waves goodbye to us as we drop him off as he's so keen to get in. They have developed a nurturing environment in which the children can explore, be creative
and guided through each mini-milestone. The progress folders kept for each child are so lovely with personalised photos, artwork and observations. The staff build up such a lovely relationship with the children, and even though we have moved up to the toddler room, his key workers from the baby room still stop and say hello and ask how he is doing. The meals served sound delicious, and my son is often having second helpings. We couldn't ask for a better nursery!

Good nursery with lovely staff and attentive front office. My kids loved going to nursery and mostly had fun days. The best part is, they go outdoors every day and the kids enjoy that most. I sometimes feel nursery is bit crowded ( with the size of the place) and quiet kids get lost in the crowd.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son joined Little Monkeys when he was 11 months and has progressed through the different rooms to preschool. He has always been very happy, despite some emotional drop-offs (him and me). The staff were extremely supportive and worked with us on very successful strategies to improve this. He surprises
us with his learning and development every week and comes home from nursery full of excitement as he tells us about his day. He absolutely loves the Forest School activities available and going out for walks.
There was no question that our youngest son would go to Little Monkeys too, and he joined the baby room in September, and he has settled in so well. I am looking forward to seeing him follow in his brother's footsteps. His favourite activity is definitely meal times, and the variety of food available for them to try is fantastic. The staff have always been lovely and, I have total faith that the boys are in safe hands, and more importantly, having lots of fun whilst we are at work.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Little Monkeys has provided outstanding care for our son over the last three years. He has loved every minute and we feel that the staff at Little Monkeys, several of whom have looked after him since he was a baby, have provided him with love, security and stimulation which have helped him become the
lovable, confident little boy he is today. When delays to his communication skills were identified, the SEN support we received was brilliant, with Little Monkeys staff working alongside NHS speech therapists. We couldn't have asked for better carers for our little boy - we are not sure how we will manage to say goodbye next month as he leaves for primary school!

Little Monkeys are absolutely amazing! My daughter loves going there and we will certainly miss the lovely teachers when she goes to primary school in September. Lovely, 'family-like' atmosphere means the children just love Little Monkeys. We have two children and we've gone through a lot of different
childminders and nurseries over the years but this one is by far the best we've ever experienced!

My son has been attending Little Monkeys since he was eleven months old. He's now three and still loves every minute. The staff are kind, fun and very approachable and the range of activities available to the children is brilliant. My son has learnt so much and thrives in the environment you provide.
Thank you!

Preschool is excellent for a caring, nurturing environment. The food is mostly healthy and the children get a good amount of outdoor play. Toddlers room - again caring and nurturing environment with lots of activities. Far too much TV time in my opinion and not enough outdoor time but otherwise very
good.

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.
