About this day nursery

Cheeky Monkeys provides care and education for children aged from one to four years. The day nursery operates from 8am to 6pm Monday to Thursday, and from 8am to 5.30pm on Friday, for 48 weeks of the year. In October 2023, Ofsted inspected the day nursery and judged it to be Good. The inspector reported that children are happy, feel safe, and settle quickly, displaying good behaviour and collaborating well with each other during activities.
