For most, our Green Monkeys classes are a child’s first structured class, whereby Mummy or Daddy and toddler will find themselves in a sporty, fun-filled
environment with similar aged children (and parents).
During our 45 min weekly classes, we play a variety of games that will get your little one running around burning off all that extra energy, learning their colours, numbers, letters as well as improving their core skills such as their spacial awareness, interactional skills and etiquette, all whilst having loads of fun!!
We will build your child’s confidence and understanding of the world with imaginative games such as travelling through space visiting and learning about different
planets whilst being chased by the 'Tickley Alien' or collecting the
food from the hibernating bear!
Parents are encouraged to get involved with the classes and play with their little ones, it's a great bonding experience for you both.
Purple Monkeys

Aged: 3 - 4 Years
Helps to Develop
- Confidence
- Social Skills
- Agility
- Concentration
Supports Learning in...
- Counting
- Sharing
- Letter
- Co-ordination
- Alertness
At this age, we really begin to see a child’s personality develop. Our games ensure that they progress in the right way with confidence boosting games as we continue our philosophy of teaching through fun, educational, sporty games.
The games are similar to our younger Green Monkeys classes but have advanced elements within the games to ensure each and every child, whilst having fun is learning at a level that is suitable to their age. We teach about the functions of different body parts as we remake 'Frankenstein's' monster which comes to life and chases them around, as well as feeding our very hungry caterpillar as he grows his coccoon to transform into a beautiful butterfly.
Children begin to participate in the classes without parental aid as parents sit and watch and give the occasional high five when their little one has done well.

Now that your Cheeky Monkey is at school, our focus moves from academic to physical development as we concentrate on advanced games that will stimulate your child’s mind whilst they try to achieve specific fun filled tasks.
One of our more popular games gets the children, with the help of 'the sun', to evaporate the puddles of water back up into the clouds. But they need to watch out, as the Grumpy cloud is throwing out lots and lots of 'rain' which the children need to dodge and avoid to successfully dry up the park.
We also introduce more competition and team working games & dedicate time slots to a mini football match which helps the children in their understanding of sharing, team work and how to win and lose with grace.
Children participate completely independently as they show off their improved confidence, understanding and new found silky skills.

“Staff are excellent! They are fun, always happy and not afraid of being silly, making the kids laugh (and parents!). It's the only children's activity that Daddy enjoys, or will even go to!”
“There is a great balance of play and discipline and that has helped my little one's confidence and helped him to learn to listen and follow instructions. Also helped his interaction with other children and great for his fitness, hand eye co-ordination and agility.”
“I thought I would let you know that before half-term my son had a preschool parents evening and although he is doing very well they said he is quite shy and quiet!!! We think it is a credit to your classes and your team that he is so happy and self confident when he is with you guys!"
“I like the way the classes are age appropriate and the coaches don't push the children to do something they cannot, instead the coaches adapt their coaching styles to meet the needs of each individual child - that's why the classes are so good!”
“Positive male role models, firm (but not scary) discipline, the children are encouraged to take part at their own pace at their own level - not sidelined if they are struggling. Totally fun with an educational twist - kids are learning without realising it!”
“Both my sons attend cheeky monkeys, the eldest one for nearly 3 years now, and both absolutely love it! The classes are perfectly matched to the child's age & ability and the coaches do a brilliant job of making it loads of fun. I don't know where they get their ideas from for some of the games, but they certainly keep everyone smiling!”
“My son wasn't that into football but went along as a couple of his friends do it. His transformation over the past few months has been astounding! He was telling my husband yesterday that he was kicking the ball wrong and showing him what part of the foot to use! Unbelievable! He now loves football and that's down to Cheeky Monkeys!”
“My son really enjoyed his taster session on Saturday! Even in one class, I think it has really lifted his confidence and I think with you guys that will continue so thank you.”
“Unpressurised football. My son talks about the classes all week waiting his next class! All of the boys are treated as equals and learn better through this mutual respect, it’s spot on for my son.”
“Its fun, educational and fantastic way for kids to develop by listening to instructions and being part of a team. The staff do a fab job of offering something completely different for kids to enjoy.”
“Thanks so much for my son’s 4th Pirate Party. Having previously had a party with you we knew it would be good but the new pirate theme proved to be a great idea! The costumes were great and the games were varied and engaging! The ‘Pirates’ (Coaches) were very entertaining & their enthusiasm had even the most shy children joining in! Thanks again!!”
“I booked Cheeky Monkey's for my daughter's 7th Birthday (after she had been to a friend's Cheeky Monkey's Party and raved about it ever since!!). We had 25, 2-8 yrs olds and somehow, they managed to capture them all. Even those who thought they were too old for this sort of thing to begin with, couldn't help themselves from joining in and having a great time. The adults were amazed at how
good they were. Highly recommended!”
“We thought it went really well and were pleased that we could give the children something different to the usual kids parties. They all enjoyed it and were thoroughly worn out! All of the parents commented on good they thought the games were and how well the children were entertained. Plus all of the children LOVED the medals and certificates.”
“Without doubt the BEST birthday party I’ve ever seen! You had almost 30 children eating out of the palm of your hand, how on earth did you do it? Teach me!!”
“My son is part of a local team and was I’ve been unhappy with the ‘need to win at all costs’ mentality - Cheeky Monkeys is different, they are there to let the kids have fun and learn at their own pace. My son learnt more with them in a week than with a team for a season!”
“Thank you, my son had a great time, and gave the day ten out of ten! It is a BRILLIANT idea to invite the parents back early. To see their little one's big match, their moment of fame, scoring and getting their medal. As a parent I felt more involved and it was great to be a part of those special memories.”
“I was impressed by the attitude, enthusiasm and encouragement that the coaches showed.My two came away feeling very proud of themselves and with the belief that they could play good football. They also had lots of fun!”
“My son enjoyed it a lot and he’s never really been into football. He "loved" the coaches as they were so funny! He felt relaxed and confident and felt encouraged to keep trying and join in the activities even tho he wasn’t as strong as some of the other boys”
“Where do you get the energy??? You’re ideas are brilliant and so perfect for my little boy and girl!! I wish I could make them listen to me as well as they were listening to you - you were FANTASTIC!
I can’t wait until the next Mini Play Scheme!”
“The coaches are really enthusiastic and all the children really enjoyed the Pirates Mini Play Scheme! They are great value and you can see the coaches have put a lot of time and effort into them - thank you!”
“I brought my son (who attends the weekly sessions) to the Pirate Mini Play Scheme along with his two older sisters, it was brilliant! Too good in fact!! The girls would rather go to Cheeky Monkeys than
school on Monday afternoons! Well done Captain K and his silly crew! lol.”
“My little girl absolutely hates people dressing up and I was a tad concerned that there would be tears.
At first there she was a bit of apprehensive about joining in but the coaches were excellent and before I knew it she was joining in and telling the naughty pirate off, it was very funny to watch!”
“What a fantastic idea! Each school holiday, I'm always look for a little treat for my kids that is affordable and isn't weather dependant and your Mini Play Schemes are perfect for that! They both come home and it's all the talk about! They re-act the games in my living room!”
