Monkey Nuts's Reviews

Our very own Mary Poppins

Monkey Nuts (MN) was the best decision we could have made for our little girl. She settled so quickly with Lee and she thoroughly enjoyed everything during her time at MN - from the delicious home cooked meals, to the playgroups and EYFS activities in the playroom.

Our daughter would always come out happy, smiling and full of stories from her time with Lee. MN is such a welcoming and inclusive environment - Lee always celebrates different festivals and tries to teach the children about each of their backgrounds to nurture a sense of self and to help embrace diversity. She even supported our other child through his SEN journey and we couldn’t be more thankful for her guidance over the past 2 years.

Our daughter was able to form strong bonds with her peers and now she’s ready for pre-school thanks to Lee’s unwavering encouragement and support.

Lee is kind-hearted and compassionate. She truly cares about working with families to get the best for their children. We couldn’t recommend her more, and are so glad to have had her in our children’s lives.

Amazing from start to finish 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Lee at Monkey Nuts is just incredible. You can tell immediately that Lee loves her job. Our little girl absolutely thrived during her time at Monkey Nuts.
Lee has created a home from home setting, making it easy for littles ones to settle in. Surrounded by toys, books, activities and a wonderful garden
This is aswell as the children being taken out regularly to local play groups, park and libraries
We were so impressed by the many updates during the day, whether they be photos or notes of any activities or details of delicious meals provided by Lee.

We are so grateful for Lee and would recommend to anyone.

Thank you Sophie, it was such a pleasure to have both girls and I will miss their big smiles and cheeky little laughs. Luckily I get to watch them grow from a distance on the school runs now x

Outstanding childminder

Lee was an incredible child minder to our two boys. She is naturally so caring, loving, patient, trust worthy and nurturing. We appreciated the time she took to cook healthy and varied meals, read with the boys, help them with homework and you also provided a fantastic range of toys and activities.

The extra effort she made for birthdays and other occasions was wonderful!

Highly recommended Ofsted outstanding childminder.

Thank you! It was especially heartwarming to see the work they both did with our therapy dog and the friendship they (and we!) still have.

A true home from home with expert childcare skills

Lee has been an absolute gem of a childminder for our little girl. She has taken care of her for over a year now (since before she turned 1) and we couldn't be happier with the personal touch that Monkey Nuts provides. Lee take real pride in her work, uses her creative flair to keep the childrens' days filled and pays real attention to every aspect of their care. Whether it's ensuring the little ones meet their EYFS goals or feeding them delicious homecooked meals, she and the lovely Granny Mackie (her mother and wonderful team member) make your child feel like they are truly part of the Monkey Nuts family. If you're looking for a home from home setting, look no further.

Thank you!

Excellent!

Lee’s care has been nothing short of exceptional for our son since starting in April 2022 (aged 1). From the outset, communication was clear and Lee supported us with getting set up with the various childcare arrangements. Our energetic son has been on many outings and enjoys every minute of his time at Monkey Nuts, with the various daily learning opportunities provided. Lee’s energy and enthusiasm really reflects across all areas of Monkey Nuts and we thoroughly recommend it!
