Great nursery. I have no anxieties about leaving my son with the staff here, we are kept to date throughout the day, and always gives us a full handover when we pick him up. They help a lot with my son who has real trouble with separation from us, and reassure us all the time that he is doing well.

Munchkins is a great nursery. My son has such a lovely relationship with all the staff in the baby room because they are all so attentive and really care for him. The staff are great at encouraging milestones and developing skills. I have no negatives about this nursery only positives. It gives me
great confidence sending my son here and he looks forward to nursery every day he is due in.

Great nursery. A Conducive, clean and beautiful environment that supports the growth of a child. Warm and attentive staff who make a child feel safe and are always happy to attend nursery. My son is always happy to go in

Excellent communication updated on child's progress very effectively given lots of information. My child is doing really well has a great bond with her key worker and loves going to nursery never have an issue.

This nursery is a wonderful place, and we couldn't be happier with the care our child receives. The environment is clean, safe, and welcoming, giving children the perfect space to learn and grow. The staff are incredible-kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. They take the time to understand each
child's individual needs, which gives us real peace of mind as parents. Communication is excellent, and it's clear that our child's wellbeing and happiness are always the top priority. We've seen such positive growth in confidence and development since attending, and we would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

This was our first parents evening. Overall we throughly enjoyed hearing about the progress and achievements of our child. All the key workers have become like family to us which truly reflects on the bond that our child has developed with everyone in such a short period.

My son has been with Munchkins since October 2023. He has been in every room from babies, to toddlers and now pre-school and I have seen the personal growth and confidence in him. The team have always been so lovely to me and can tell that my son has bonded with all the staff there.
The
facilities are fantastic and they go above and beyond to making sure every child's needs are met. In addition to the times he is in nursery, they also put on additional events e.g. photoshoots, farm days, Santa visits etc that you may not get anywhere else.
It will be bittersweet when my son goes to school next year, but know that Munchkins have played a huge part in his development.

My little girl loves going to nursery, she says good bye to me and walks straight in with one of the ladies. I love seeing how happy she is and her makaton has come along and learnt so much. When she first started I was very unsure but everyday got better and seeing her walk in and saying all the
ladies names I know she is safe and ready to start the day happy!

Really nice nursery with wonderful staff. My son enjoys nursery, especially spending time with his key worker and other adults in the room. Great set of resources and routine. Staff available for advice.

My son started here in September at 2 years old, he was very clingy to us at home, so the settle periods were very teary, (from both sides!) The staff at the nursery were incredibly supportive and after a few weeks, he was walking in by himself waving bye to us! I couldn't thank them enough and
always highly recommend.

Munchkins Nursery & Preschool was one of the best decisions I ever made taking my daughter to. The nursery rooms are tailored for each age group and the staff have a clear passion and interest in getting to know the individual children's likes and dislikes. The staff have a refreshing approach and
focus on the kids passions, likes and interest to form a bond with them. My daughter has taken an interest in the yoga that they do in the classes and has continued this by wanting to do this at home. She also loves books, and on days where she may be a bit unsettled, will sit and read a book with a staff member. I have also never had any concerns for the hygiene of the nursery and the food is amazing. Myself and other parents have often asked how do they make certain foods for the picky eaters, because my daughter will eat absolutely everything there. You receive updates throughout the day, and photos, including observations. Truly a lovely nursery.

We couldn't be happier with Munchkins Nursery & Preschool. From day one, the staff have been warm, caring, and incredibly supportive. Our daughter has blossomed in confidence, and it's amazing to see how much she has learned since she started going. She absolutely loves going to nursery, and it's
clear how much effort the staff put into making every day special. The communication is fantastic, we always feel informed and reassured. It's such a joy to see our daughter so happy and excited to go in every morning. We highly recommend Munchkins to any parent looking for a nurturing and engaging environment. I want to give a special mention and thanks to four members of staff, they are all so amazing and I can truly see how much the children mean to them.

My twins are very happy to come in every morning, their speech has improved so much, and also the Makaton signing. When I pick them up in the evening, they are very clean, happy and chatty, they want, with their words, to tell what they had done during the day.
A big thank you to their key worker
and to all the ladies in the preschool room.

My son started nursery in October 2024 at Munchkins in the baby room, he absolutely loves it. The baby room is fantastic, they send you updates throughout the day and pictures of what they have been up to. They provide such a good variety of foods and lots of healthy options. The staff have settled
him in so well and he really enjoys going into nursery. Since being there he has learnt so much and developed lots of skills and is very confident. They have such a wide range of activities throughout the day aswell as a lovely garden for them to explore. I would highly recommend Munchkins to anyone thinking of joining the nursery!
