About Cheeky Monkey

Cheeky Monkey is a specialty retail store located on Wonderland Rd S in the Cranbrook neighbourhood of London. Serving new parents, grandparents, and gift buyers, the shop provides a curated selection of high-quality products for the first years of a child's life. Their inventory includes nursing essentials, cloth diapers, baby carriers, toys, bath care, and clothing such as bamboo swaddles, sleep bags, and pajamas. The store also carries shoes, organic products, and a variety of eco-friendly must-haves, featuring brands like Stride Rite, Rylee + Cru, Quincy Mae, and Headster Kids. Founded in 2004 by Krista Williamson, the business began as a way to combine a love for sewing, family, and business. While it originally opened its first physical location in 2006, it is now owned and operated by Danielle and Keenan. The owners emphasize a personal connection with the community, maintaining a consistent presence in the store to provide educated advice and a friendly atmosphere. The business is known for supporting local causes, including youth soccer, the Salvation Army, and local food banks, and it has hosted an annual photo session with Santa to raise money for The Women’s Community House since 2006. The store offers several practical amenities for families, including a large stroller-accessible restroom, a fully equipped nursing room, a change station, and a play area. Customers can access an in-house gift registry, receive one-on-one personal shopping, and benefit from complimentary gift wrapping. Additional services include the rental of hospital-grade breast pumps and accessories, as well as local delivery for those on bed rest. They also offer custom gift baskets that can be picked up in-store, delivered locally, or sent across Canada.
