We at St Matthew's Nursery strive to see everything from the perspective of the parent.
We are entrusted with your Little Monkeys, so we have created a safe, loving and nurturing environment for children aged from 1 to 5 years old.

Our Parent Reviews


E Eccleston

"Rosie loves coming to nursery; she is always happy to go in. All of the staff members are friendly, and Rosie's development has come on so much at such a young age. Her keyworker, Cate, updates me every day on what Rosie has done at nursery. The ladies in her room share lovely activities on Class Dojo, which makes me feel better when I'm at work because I can see that she is happy. The nursery itself is inviting and lovely, and the manager, Michelle, is very supportive and is also loved by Rosie. I would definitely recommend St. Matthews Little Monkeys."

G Cockayne

"I couldn't ask for a better nursery for my daughter. When she wakes up, she is so excited and happy to attend. The staff are great and go above and beyond to care for my daughter, Olivia. St. Matthews Little Monkeys provides a range of activities and encourages parent involvement, which has helped and supported Olivia's development. Little Monkeys has friendly staff, and the children are very happy in a positive environment."
