Overall Experience

Both of our children have attended Cheeky Monkeys, for an overall period of 8 years. The nursery and the staff have been excellent, helpful and caring with the girls. We would certainly recommend the nursery.

Review from Chrissy A (Mother of Child) published on 7 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Sara Haslam, Manager at Cheeky Monkeys Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We love having her with us and enjoy the fun we all share as part of each nursery day. Our Cheeky Monkey's family really is very precious to us and we are so grateful that families choose us to care for such wonderful children.

Overall Experience
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!

Reply from Sara Haslam, Manager at Cheeky Monkeys Day Nursery

Review from Jodie J (Mother of Child) published on 7 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Sara Haslam, Manager at Cheeky Monkeys Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your fabulous review. It means a great deal to our team to hear that our efforts are recognised and appreciated. We are so blessed to have such lovely families attending Cheeky Monkeys. Thank you for choosing us to care for both of your lovely children!

Review from Charlotte S (Mother of Child) published on 29 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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.

Reply from Sara Haslam, Manager at Cheeky Monkeys Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your lovely review. I am so glad you feel reassured by the care we offer and the input we have in his development. We love our Cheeky Monkeys Family very much.

Overall Experience

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!

Reply from Sara Haslam, Manager at Cheeky Monkeys Day Nursery

Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Sara Haslam, Manager at Cheeky Monkeys Day Nursery

Overall Experience
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.

I am so pleased we found this nursery for my little girl. All the staff are so welcoming and friendly. There are so many resources for the children and a great outdoor space. I can’t wait to see how she progresses in her time at Cheeky Monkeys Day Nursery. I feel like my daughter is safe and well looked after at this nursery which is a priority for me as a parent. The tapestry updates are also great.

Overall Experience
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!

Reply from Sara Haslam, Manager at Cheeky Monkeys Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We love the fact children can build lovely new bonds and grow in confidence when away from their homes. I am so glad he loves nursery and comes in so happily.

Review from Rianne G (Mother of Child) published on 30 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

Reply from Sara Haslam, Manager at Cheeky Monkeys Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. Feedback such as this means a lot to us. We are so glad that he loved coming to nursery as this is so important to us. Staff here love sharing fun and exciting celebrations with the children and making birthday cakes with friends remains a much-loved tradition.

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 nursery feels like an extension of our family now. We are very grateful for the support and guidance we have received and so glad that our baby is happy and thriving at this nursery.

Overall Experience

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 through the day.

Thank you so much for your review and for identifying us as fabulous, your feedback is so important. Apologies if after only a few weeks with us you feel that things have turned rocky and some aspects are not to your satisfaction. This is never our intention.

Overall Experience
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.

Reply from Sara Haslam, Manager at Cheeky Monkeys Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your amazing review. Feedback like this really means the world to us as it is why we do what we do. We really do care about supporting all children to reach their full potential and ensuring they are all making progress and that most importantly they are happy. I am so glad...

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

Both my sons have attended this nursery and both have loved going in and have absolutely thrived. There are always different activities going on to keep them engaged and the focus on preparing the older ones for school has been really valuable. Most of all, I know that all the staff love their jobs and know my children really well. They genuinely treat them like members of the family - it's so reassuring to know that if a cuddle is needed it's always available!

Thank you so much for your fabulous review. It is lovely to see how our family approach comes across and we really do love what we do. It has been a pleasure to be part of both of your boys' early years journey. The relationships we build with our families are so important to us.

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.
