Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We cannot be happier having our son attend Munchkins in Brentwood. He's 3 and I waited specifically to send him as my daughter attends the school where they are based. I'm happy to say it has certainly been worth the wait. The staff are so attentive and engage with him whatever he wants to play - and
he likes to do a lot! My boy runs to the gate excited to go in whenever I take him. Between the forest school fire pit, the variety of toys and set-up areas, the climbing frame, mud kitchens, sand boxes and all the crafting options, he's so spoilt for choice for what he wants to do each day. Communication has been great too, and I've loved seeing pictures of him playing on the app. We genuinely feel we couldn't have picked a better place for him to go ahead of starting school next year.

My son started at the nursery at the beginning of October after a month of settling in sessions and he's getting on better than I ever imagined! He comes out with the biggest smile everyday and he loves telling me all about what he's been up to. The staff are all so lovely and caring, they've really
taken the time to get to know exactly what my son likes and dislikes, and to make him feel comfortable being away from me. I couldn't ask for any more from a nursery!

Our daughter joined Munchkins Brentwood in September shortly after they opened, age 11months. She is our rainbow and so I felt lots of anxiety ahead of her starting nursery, but from the very start the entire team have been incredible. Within just a few weeks, my daughter is not longer crying at drop
off and seems extremely happy there. So much so that she doesn't dive into my arms on pick up and is very happy to stay with the lovely staff. The care and attention from the staff is second to none and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely setting. Special mention has to go to Vicky, Anita and Megan who are all clearly passionate about providing the highest level of care. We chose Munchkins for their forest school settings and their strong use of Makaton, and they are very much living up to their standards! Thank you, I can wait to continue to watch my daughter thrive in your care.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.563)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.563) out of 10 for Munchkins Nursery & Pre-School Brentwood 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 3 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 5.000 for Munchkins Nursery & Pre-School Brentwood is calculated as follows: ( (36 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 5
  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 3.563 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Munchkins Nursery & Pre-School Brentwood is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.6 = 0.313
  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.
