I have nothing but amazing things to say about little monsters, since day one they have been brilliant with my child, they are always intent on making sure they were comfortable from the start and my child has grown so much over their time there, the staff are all very attentive and caring, I am very glad we chose little monsters.
My son goes to this nursery 3 days a week, he really enjoys it there and has come on really well. All the staff are friendly and welcoming, they also serve the children nice proper meals. Lovely environment with lots of toys and books for the children.
Children get to be children, have fun, take part in a wide range of activities & learn through play whilst being cared for by staff who go above & beyond to make every child feel like part of their family.
My youngest can't wait to get through the door in a morning and even gets excited if we are driving past at other times. Our eldest still feels like part of the Little Monsters family and is always welcomed by staff who still welcome her & show an interest in what she has been up to when she goes to pick her younger sister up! Little Monsters feels like a home away from home & we've never had any doubt about leaving either of our girls in their care!
My child started going to little monsters back in September. All the staff there made him feel welcome and the children. He loves going now was mardy at first but he soon settled in. My child has come along so far since starting there. All the staff are supporting and adapt to your situation. Which is 100% amazing. They communicate with you aswell which is fantastic. Couldn't wish for a better nursery for my child to go too.
If they can help you they will go above and beyond to help you
Sent both my children to little monsters
Wouldn't of wanted them to go anywhere else
Think they have a good selection of indoor and outdoor play
My daughter started the nursery back in 2024. She attended for a few months but due to work commitments we had to change her location of nursery to suit travel needs and timing. We found the new nursery was not suited and Little Monsters Nursery stepped back in and adapted to our needs. They are a great team and work closely with myself and my partner addressing every need or concern for my daughter as she has a number of additional care needs. I highly recommend this nursery to all. Thank you Little Monsters.
We recently decided to move to Chesterfield, so we needed to find a new nursery, which I was really worried about, but my little boy has been so happy at Little Monsters Nursery. The staff are lovely, they do loads of great activities with the kids, and the children are thriving there.
My daughter started at Little Monsters Nursery over a year ago, and she has loved every second of it. She's always so eager to go to nursery and talks about her days there to everyone. The staff are so caring and have the most respect for myself and my child. Throughout the year, the nursery takes their time for seasonal and sensory activities, including walks out. I've never had an issue with the nursery.
She has come on leaps and bounds since joining, and she loves playing with all of her friends each week. She has nutritious meals and snacks and partakes in lots of fun learning activities throughout the day. There is a lovely outdoor garden for the little ones to play in during the warmer months.
It feels like a more personal relationship with the whole team as they know our little one like one of their own. She is always happy to go and often doesn't want to leave.
I would recommend Little Monsters to anyone looking for a small, personal nursery for their little one.
Fantastic Nursery, my little girl absolutely loves it here! The staff are great and so friendly, really go the extra mile to make sure your child is safe and having a great time. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a nursery.
Little Monsters is absolutely amazing with my twins. They have been going now for a year and they always come out happy as ever! They are so patient and understanding of my girls needs and these are met and monitored everytime they go. Thankyou so much for everything you all do for my children.
My daughter has attended Little Monsters from being 1 year old and now is about to leave to go to school. I highly recommend Little Monsters, it is like her second home. They have created a truly child-focused, nurturing environment, and my daughter has gone from strength to strength, building in knowledge and confidence every day. She's always excited to go in the morning, and keen to tell us all about what she's done at the end of the day. The managers and the team are fantastic, and I'll be forever grateful for how they've looked after my daughter, made the days fun, provided a wide array of resources and organised different activities to keep her engaged and challenged every day.
The staff at Little Monsters are absolutely amazing! My daughter was excited for every day and had great connections with all the staff. We felt at ease from the first visit and knew that our daughter would thrive and grow in this environment. We're very sad our time has come to leave the nursery but the staff have made sure that my daughter is ready for her first year in school. I'd recommend this nursery in a heartbeat to anyone wanting their child in a home away from home environment.
Can't recommend this nursery enough. After feeling let down with the way most nurseries seem to be about ticking boxes and paperwork, I was very impressed with the little monsters approach, which is to let the children simply be children. If you'd like your child to make playdoh from scratch, play in the sand and soil, paint pictures, go for walks, feed the ducks dance, dress up, learn through imaginative play then this is the nursery for you. My son doesn't see the nursery as a nursery but as an extension of his own home. He's excited to go in the morning and sad when he leaves at night and that's all you could ever really want in a child care setting.
Since my child started in September 2021 the managers have been amazing. They are always so understanding and really care about the children. My child has come on so much while being with them with his speech and learning. Thank you so much to all the staff at Little Monsters.
Monsters are a core part of my child's development & she is flourishing because of it. As a parent, I am massively thankful for them.
The staff are kind and caring, nothing is ever too much and they always go above and beyond for my little ones.
