About this day nursery

Little Cheeky Monkeys Day Nursery has been meticulously designed to cater to the personal, social, emotional, and educational requirements of each child, ensuring high standards are met. The nursery is structured with three distinct rooms, each segmented into various activity zones.

This setup allows for materials and equipment to be utilised effectively, aligning with the principles and commitments of the Early Years Foundation Stage framework. The team at Little Cheeky Monkeys is devoted to cultivating a joyful, nurturing, enthusiastic, and positive atmosphere where children can engage in play, learning, and development.

This commitment is supported by their "OUTSTANDING" Ofsted inspection rating. The nursery values strong relationships with parents and encourages their involvement, operating an open-door policy for discussions at any time, even outside regular nursery hours.

While viewings are typically by appointment to ensure a member of management is available and to minimise disruption to the children, the nursery is flexible and happy to accommodate drop-in visits as well. This childcare establishment was founded in 2003 by a parent who, after struggling to find quality childcare for her own daughter, decided to create the ideal setting herself, evolving from a smaller facility to its current spacious location at Great Harwood Lodge, equipped with outdoor play areas.

Our ethos

Our approach is guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, and we are committed to fostering a joyful, nurturing, enthusiastic, and positive atmosphere where children can engage in play, learning, and development. We established the nursery to provide the ideal setting, driven by a parent's desire for quality childcare, and we value strong relationships with parents, encouraging their involvement.

What it's like

Children are highly motivated, confident and exceptionally enthusiastic learners. They are immensely happy in this vibrant nursery. Children keenly explore the purposefully organised learning opportunities and delight as they move freely between the outside and indoor areas all day.

Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection

This was exceptionally effective in helping their children to maintain secure attachments with staff.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff identify children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) quickly. The manager and staff liaise with specialist teachers and other professionals to plan timely and successful interventions. This means that children with SEND are extremely well included, feel safe and make significant progress in their learning and development.

Outdoor space

Children delight as they move between the outside and indoor areas all day. Children demonstrate excellent spatial awareness and coordination as they run and chase in the impressive range of outdoor areas.
