November 27, 2019 at 12:00 amOur experience as a family joining the nursery has been positive. We have found the staff to be inviting, warm and nurturing. They have considered the needs of my child. Staff have shown understanding and encouraged my child to be an active participant. My child has increased confidence, language and skills which I believe have been due to the nursery setting.

November 27, 2019 at 12:00 amMy children (6 and 3) come to the creche on a Saturday morning and they love it, it’s a job to get them to leave. They feel comfortable and safe in the environment with the staff. There are lots of activities to choose from and they are spoilt for choice. So far their favourites are the building and construction area and making playdough but each week is a lovely surprise. Cheeky Monkeys is a brilliant nursery, fun, safe, lots of learning experiences and lots to stimulate and engage in a wonderful environment.

December 2, 2019 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending this nursery since he was ten months old. He is now nearly four and in his last year here before starting school. He has developed so well here and has made some really good friends. He always comes home happy and full of excitement about his day. The staff are really friendly and create a really happy and relaxed atmosphere for the kids. He learns through play and is encouraged to be independent and learn new things.

December 20, 2019 at 12:00 amMy daughter first came here at 10 months old until she commenced school in September. She made some lovely friends and I loved watching her confidence grow and skills that have helped her so much in adapting to school life and being independent. We use the holiday club in the half term and she is also excited to see her friends and the staff.

January 17, 2020 at 12:00 amI have a little boy who is five and girl who is three and a baby which is one. Cheeky Monkeys is there whenever I need them and has been for years. They have done school runs for me, holiday clubs, day sessions and even looked after my older two when giving birth to my youngest. The staff are fab and the manager is amazing. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

February 13, 2020 at 12:00 amWhat a wonderful nursery! My kids love coming here, they always have such a wonderful time and take part in lots of activities. My eldest son loves getting picked up by the Cheeky Monkeys bus after school and really enjoys after school club. Highly recommended!

March 4, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son has been coming since January. He has settled in very well with the brilliant care at Earls Colne Cheeky Monkeys. The staff are very friendly and always hand over at the end of his session to tell me how he has been and what he has done that day.

February 7, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little boy has been in this setting since October 2021. He has come on leaps and bounds and loves going in every day. The staff are amazing and friendly. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.

February 22, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little boy has been going to Welcome Nurseries since the beginning of January, the ladies are all so lovely and so patient, kind and caring as my little one has trouble saying goodbye to us in the morning (he soon settles). He enjoys painting, drawing, water play, sand and the outside play area, he has also brought cakes home that they have made that day. I have really noticed his speech has come a long way since he started and showing more interest in books and song time which is amazing! I really recommend this nursery! We have already had our first parent’s evening which was lovely as we get to see how he’s doing and meet more staff members. Really pleased we chose this nursery!

February 22, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending the nursery since January 2020. There was a lot of changes in the way but now they have the best team you could possibly ask for. I can happily leave her there 5 days a week knowing all her needs will be taken care of.

February 22, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has been going to nursery since September and he had a rough start but with the help of everybody there he settled and now wants to live there. I couldn’t wish for nicer people to look after my son. It’s a beautiful setting.

February 23, 2022 at 12:00 amWe couldn’t be happier with the incredible level of care our son has received at the nursery.
The staff are kind and nurturing while providing safe boundaries for all the children.
The high standard of play-based learning our son receives has been wonderful to see and we can see him thriving.
Each child is treated as an individual and it’s a wonderful thing to know my child is in such a fabulous setting that’s become a home from home. We are lucky to have such a great facility to use.

February 23, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son started here recently after leaving another nursery setting, he is so happy at this nursery and the difference in him is amazing. The staff are lovely and he runs in each morning as happy as ever. I am so pleased I decided to change his setting and join here.

February 24, 2022 at 12:00 amMy children have been at the Essex for a few months and they absolutely love it. The staff are warm, caring and accommodating of any needs our children have. Our children’s social skills have greatly developed as well as language skills. Highly recommend.

February 24, 2022 at 12:00 amHaving relocated to Essex last summer, we had the painful task of finding a new nursery that would meet the high level of care received at our last setting.
Initially, I had mixed feelings when I visited the nursery. The ladies were lovely but it didn’t look or feel too appealing. I challenged the menu and overall look and feel of the nursery. The manager met my challenges head-on and even sent out a menu preference to all the parents. On day one, the staff were able to encourage my baby daughter to nap on a sleep mat as opposed to her pram (which was literally the only place she would nap in the day), and she’s been awesome with her ever since. My child literally says ‘whoop whoop’ as soon as we arrive.
Since the manager took over, the nursery has transformed, it’s so clean, the menu is healthy and varied, the outside and inside space is inviting and most importantly, the environment is clean, safe and fun. The team are incredibly friendly and my daughter just loves it!

March 14, 2022 at 12:00 amBoth my children attend The Essex, one in preschool and the other in toddlers and for me, as a mother, it is important that my children are cared for as I would care for them. The Essex is a caring environment that shows my children warmth and compassion and they have both developed so much in the time they have been there. It feels like a home away from home and they both leave so happy.
The staff are always engaging and provide handovers that are full of detail about each of my children’s days.
Thank you so much to the wonderful team for looking after my boys and giving them a world full of fun and adventure!

April 26, 2022 at 12:00 amMy niece has been at Welcome Nurseries @ Essex for just over a month in the baby room. She found it quite daunting, to begin with, but the staff were very attentive to her needs and allowed her to settle in at her own pace. She has established a lovely relationship with her key worker and now waves goodbye smiling each morning. On collection, we’re always given lots of detail about her day, what she’s eaten and the activities she’s participated in and enjoyed. My niece is a fussy eater and the staff have been so understanding with this, they try and encourage her to try new things but if she doesn’t want what has been given they always offer an alternative which is very reassuring. Her speech and general development have come on leaps and bounds and I’ve noticed a particular improvement in her general confidence. The setting itself is beautiful, a cosy enabling environment full of learning opportunities with a great outdoor area. I couldn’t recommend ‘Welcome Nurseries @ Essex’ enough!

December 16, 2022 at 12:00 amI can highly recommend Pine Trees, the ladies there have been absolutely amazing with my son, 3 years old. From the beginning, my son has had some troubles settling in and has been overwhelmed being around so many children. At first, I was worried that I may have to stop him going due to his behaviour but the ladies persevered with him and he has come on leaps and bounds since being there. Communication has always been brilliant with the ladies there and together we have found a great routine that works well for him. I can tell that they really care for him as he is always so happy to go and I can see he has a special bond with them all. They are very understanding of his needs and very supportive to me also. The nursery itself has a wide range of different activities and toys for the children to do and a lovely outside area to play in too. They have a good range of different foods, my little boy is a very fussy eater but he has tried new things at nursery!

December 20, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been at the nursery since 2020 and has had a great experience. It’s been wonderful to watch her blossom under their care, and she’s made some wonderful friends. All the staff are attentive and offer excellent care, and we are kept informed through every step of our child’s development. They offer a detailed rundown every day of what she’s been up to and show how much they care about the children. Management have been great through difficult times and their communication is excellent. Highly recommended.
