Since my daughter started in January 2024, her development has been absolutely amazing! They go to so much effort with entertaining and developing the children. Some of the activities they do are brilliant. My daughter is so excited to go in everyday, which just tells me everything I need to know. Would
absolutely recommend Cheeky Monkeys.

Cheeky Monkeys are amazing!
My little one has come on absolute leaps and bounds since she started in January. The team show so much interest in not only her development but also her individuality and personality! They take time to get to know her beyond what they would need to, which means they can
really provide a home from home experience at nursery!
The team are there for her when she's struggling or sad, to cheer her up, give her a cuddle and read books and are always there to celebrate and share her wins!
The handovers are efficient but info packed so I always know what she's been up to in her day!
The use of the app means we always know what she has been up to and get to see it as well!
We appreciate everything they do for our little one and can't thank them enough!

The best nursery I've ever come across. This is one of the few places where babies get to nap in individual cribs in a dark room and they try to stick to your nap schedule. The women there are wonderful, honestly you will never come across anyone with a bad attitude. I would recommend this place to
anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my little one has started he has been in fantastic care. All the staff acknowledge him and he has brilliant bonds with the staff in the baby room. When he is ill, the staff make me aware straight away and comfort him as much as they're able to. He has developed so much since starting in July,
I feel fully at ease when dropping off and have no concerns. We always get updates on what he's been doing and a full handover at the end of each day.
Thanks Cheeky Monkeys.

Both of my sons attend Cheeky Monkeys and they both absolutely love going. The staff are all lovely and make you feel so welcome. They give lots of feedback at the end of each day and nothing is too much trouble. Lots of pictures are uploaded to the app at multiple points in the day, so you can see
what your children are up to. I can't speak highly enough of this nursery, I am so pleased my children go here!

My child loves going to this nursery, and always seems to have such a lovely day. She's challenged, encouraged, supported and has made so much progress while having fun at the same time. The staff are kind, caring and pay attention to all the small details which go into a well rounded and exceptional
nursery experience. I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery.

We have had an amazing experience at Cheeky Monkeys Day Nursery. The staff, have been incredibly caring and attentive. Our daughter looks forward to going to nursery every day and has shown remarkable growth in her social and learning skills.
The activities are well-planned and engaging, and it's clear
that the teachers put a lot of effort into making each day special.
The environment is always clean, safe, and welcoming. We feel confident that our daughter is in good hands and are grateful for the nurturing and supportive atmosphere. Thank you to all the wonderful staff for making this such a positive experience for our family.

My son started at Cheeky Monkeys over a year ago and took a while to settle as he had never been away from me. The staff were incredible and patient in helping him settle and now he races in without saying goodbye! All of the staff work so hard and I can't praise them enough! My son absolutely loves
it and we get so many photos and updates on how he's doing which is very reassuring!
Thank you, Cheeky Monkeys!

My son attended this nursery for 12 months, and loved every single second, the staff were attentive, kind and all-round pleasant. After every session, I was given plenty of input from the staff on his daily activities. The app was brilliant to keep in touch and view what the children were up to at nursery.
My son always came home having had a fantastic choice of food and a full tummy, sometimes 2 helpings. I think it's wonderful how the staff make a real effort on children's birthday by making cakes and dressing up if required!

We are really happy with our experience at Cheeky Monkeys Day Nursery. Our baby has come on leaps and bounds since starting earlier this year. The nursery staff have been extremely welcoming, warm and friendly. We have had excellent advice on some matters, such as first walker shoes and teething. The

I think the nursery is fabulous but the past couple of weeks have been a bit rocky. Putting my child in wrong-sized nappies, when dropping him off/collecting him the staff don't take an interest they just rush off and also nothing is getting put on the app anymore so I've no clue what my child is doing

Could not recommend Cheeky Monkeys Day Nursery enough to anyone who has little ones.
My little girl has been coming here since she was roughly 18 months and will be there until next August before she leaves for school.
The team are all outstanding, amazingly supportive, friendly, funny and the best
we could wish for to look after and help support our little girl growing in these tender developing years.
No question or query is too much. Always super helpful if we have a query or if my little girl needs extra support. They absolutely, in my opinion, go above and beyond and it's clear to see how much they love and care for all the kids who attend. You're not just a number, they really do listen, learn and know your kids. Absolutely love them all. Thank you again for all you do for us.

Both of my children have attended nursery from 6 months old and both of them have thrived while being there, my oldest is now at school and misses Cheeky Monkeys Day Nursery a lot. The staff are so friendly and caring and if you have any issues nothing is too big for them to help with. All staff support
the children with every aspect of their lives and they encourage the children so much. You get regular updates on how the children are getting on and always receive an in-depth update at the end of the day to let you know how their day has been. Both my children are so happy to attend nursery here and I couldn't ask for anymore.

My 3-year-old son has been attending Cheeky Monkeys Day Nursery for the last two years and loves the time he spends there! The teachers are great, friendly and always have daily updates on how he is doing. Also, they provide an online personal portal that is updated after every session that includes
photos and films that document and update parents on daily achievements and all the fun things they do.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.559)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.559) out of 10 for Cheeky Monkeys Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 8 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 4.926 for Cheeky Monkeys Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (88 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 95 Ratings = 4.926
  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 4.633 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cheeky Monkeys Day Nursery is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.6 = 0.833
  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.
