Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
There as so many positive things to say about this nursey and the wonderful staff! They are very caring and accepting of everyone, they always tell us in detail about our child even the little things. The staff are so kind and caring and are always excited to welcome every child. They have helped our
child to learn to communicate with us without using words which is wonderful and very helpful. They are very understanding when you need to leave early or bring your child in earlier. I genuinely couldn’t recommend Munchkins enough!

We had an amazing treatment from the first day we made contact with the nursery to the last time my son left the nursery. I am very grateful for their patience and emergency support and consideration. Thank you for taking care of my son.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started Munchkins Nursery back in May, she was 10 months old when she started and from the get go she absolutely loved it. We love Munchkins because all the staff are so friendly and welcoming, they do loads of sensory indoor and outdoor play. My daughter has grown and developed so much
already within the short space of time that she has been with Munchkins and I cannot thank them enough. My daughter always has a massive smile on her face when we arrive in the mornings and when we collect her. I couldn’t fault my experience at Munchkins and I highly recommend.

My little boy has been attending Munchkins since it opened nearly a year ago now. I can’t fault the nursery at all. My little boy absolutely loves it there, the setting is beautiful with the most amazing garden. He goes out a lot to explore the beach and other areas around Brightlingsea.
All the staff
are amazing, I’d recommend Munchkins to anyone looking for child care.

I cannot fault the nursery at all. Everyone I've met who also has children at this nursery seems to feel the same. They have genuine care and compassion for the children. The environment they create is safe and full of opportunities to learn.
I really struggled with the thought of leaving our little
one with them and they were incredibly understanding of that - encouraging me to call as many times as I felt I needed to. Highly recommend the nursery and the staff.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.979)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.979) out of 10 for Munchkins Nursery & Pre-School Brightlingsea is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.979 for Munchkins Nursery & Pre-School Brightlingsea is calculated as follows: ( (142 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.979
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Munchkins Nursery & Pre-School Brightlingsea is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 52 number of registered child places is 10.4, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
