On the floor in the left-hand (on-show) enclosure.
Note: the time shown in the EXIF data is an hour out (the shots were taken after the zoo had opened!). I've also toned down the excessive red cast in the photo.
Good stuff! I like your whole set of photos, but this is my favourite - although of course I'm jealous as I haven't been able to visit Chester to see them yet
If you had told me when I was a boy that Chester would one day have aye-ayes on show, I would not have believed you
If someone had told me when *I* was a boy that the Aye-aye would still be extant - never mind at Chester Zoo - in 2016, I would never have believed them!
If someone had told me when I was a boy that I'd be able to see AyeAyes in not one, but three or four different UK Zoos(includes Jersey for this purpose) I would have said 'what's an AyeAye'? Then when I found out, I would not have believed it.

Yes, this photo has been brightened somewhat*. And, as I mentioned in my two exhibit area photos, those ones had been brightened considerably, just to show the layout of the area more clearly.
The overall illumination levels are, I would say, roughly equivalent to those at Bristol.
* once my vision was properly dark-adapted (at least half an hour for me), then I did start to see things more clearly. After 10 minutes, I still couldn't track the aye-ayes into the darker recesses of their enclosures, but, after 30 minutes, I had little trouble doing so. So, the photos show a similar view to that which I experienced after full dark-adaptation. YMMV of course.
