Love the nursery and feel I can trust the staff with my little one
The staff seem to enjoy working there and genuinely care about the children.

Alongside this they put on a lovely mother's day event

All the staff at the nursery are so friendly and welcoming. They made me feel at ease when my son first started and I felt worried. Communication is fantastic and I'm always kept up to date with events happening and updated with how my son is getting on during the day.
My son is always happy when
we arrive to nursery and always smiling when I collect him.
I cannot fault anything with nursery and I am so glad with the progress my son is making. Thank you! x

I honestly can't thank this nursery enough. I was so nervous about my son starting - I worried about how he'd settle and how I'd cope - but from the very first day, those worries just disappeared.
The staff were so warm and reassuring, and you can really tell how much they care about the children.
I felt completely at ease leaving him, which is something I didn't think would happen so quickly.
He's only been there since January, but the difference in him already is amazing. He's grown in confidence, he's happy going in, and he's clearly thriving. As a parent, that's the best feeling in the world.
We're so grateful for everything they do!

Our son, 2yrs 5mths, Loves going to nursery. It is such a hard decision to make whether to stay at home or go back to work when the time comes and even harder to pick somewhere you trust to take care of your child. Munchkins staff have always made me feel secure in choosing to leave my baby with
them. He has this month moved into the preschool and the level of care and love and education has continued to be outstanding. He settled in quick and has developed such amazing social connections with the other children in his group it's fantastic to see him grow in the setting.

My daughter went to munchkins from the age of 1 and half and graduated last year. She loved munchkins and we loved her going there the staff are unbelievable with the children and show so much care and love.
We loved getting updates on what she did during her day. Munchkins lets kids be kids,
playing and doing what they like. Getting messy and learning before they go to school.
I would always recommend munchkins to anyone.

I cannot recommend Dunton fields nursery enough. My granddaughter has come on so much since starting in September. The ladies always are very positive and polite and give a very detailed report of her day.

My one and half year old daughter loves going to Munchkins, she has been doing there since she was 10 months old. I love that she gets to explore and play all day. The team is amazing and really care about her wellbeing which means so much to us. They go out of there to make her day the best it
possible can be and I know she is very happy and settled there.

The ladies and their interaction / making every day fun for the children is of a high standard. My daughter is very happy there and has great fun with the staff. The children are very well safeguarded and some of the activities they carry out are teaching the children great life skills.
I have
had a few frustrations with the nursery. The nursery provides jugs of water at meal times and have a water station however, water bottles were not readily available for the children and stayed in their bags throughout the day. Despite repeated requests the water bottle stays out.
Often my child hasn't been dressed in the appropriate layers for the outdoor activities and important information, (for medical reasons) such as toileting cannot be answered at handover despite repeatedly requesting this be uploaded on the app.
However, I am pleased to say that further to this review, sent to the nursery before it is published, I was contacted by the Area Manager who understood, heard me as a mother, and has implemented change.

My daughter is going to this nursery from 1 year and 7 months, now she is 4.
She is very happy with the ladies working there, and she loves going to this nursery.
She has no days where she is saying that she doesn't want to go to the nursery, every time happy.
10 March 2025
I cannot sing the praises of this nursery enough! My daughter started there at 18 months old and finished in August 2024 to start school.
My daughter has autism and had it not been for the huge support and help I was given by Munchkins Nursery & Pre-School, she wouldn't be where she is today.
All
the staff are amazing, but especially the senco and manager.
17 February 2025
All round fantastic.
Our son has been at Munchkins the last month and is 10 months young.
We attended another nursery before here and they are worlds apart.
Munchkins is amazing, the ladies that care for and develop our child, treat him like their own. He is so happy and joyful every day.
Thank
you all at Munchkins, please keep up these exceptional standards we are so grateful.

Since my son started at Munchkins Nursery & Preschool back in September 2024, he has excelled so much. Always comes out so happy and is eager to tell me about his day. All the staff are so lovely and supportive and I like the fact your told about what your child has done today, enjoyed etc. it's
great to hear my son is engaging well with other children and also trying new foods. I'm glad we chose Munchkins as our preferred pre school.

This nursery has been outstanding with our little girl. She started when she was only 5 months old and I was really apprehensive, however I can hands down say this has developed our little girl and she has come out of her shell. She is thriving at this nursery. The nursery staff are very thoughtful
and caring and we have no complaints with this nursery and can only sing their praises. They give you regular updates throughout the day and lovely photos.
07 February 2025
Could not be happier with the experience we have had sending our child to Munchkins. The staff are brilliant, the variation in activities, food on offer and the consistency of updates on the nursery app has made the whole process a joy!
07 February 2025
My son has been attending Munchkins for 12 months and I have been so pleased with his transition from being with me every day on mat leave to every day at nursery. The nursery has been a huge support to both me and him and I am so grateful that he goes to a setting every day where he is loved and
nurtured. He has come on leaps and bounds and I'm always complimented on how advanced his speech is for almost 2 and I wholeheartedly thank the nursery for this. Would recommend Munchkins to anyone!

Absolutely amazing Munchkins Nursery!
They go above and beyond for every child!
Every child is greeted individually, which I think is great!
Amazing childcare service with professional and dedicated staff, where the children come first and always return home happy and excited to tell you all
about the wonderful adventures they had that day. The ladies are always very friendly and welcoming and answer any questions we have.
I can't recommend this place high enough - would be more than five stars. Thank you for doing such a great job all. We have been very lucky to have found Munchkins Nursery and her team.
