June 15, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son and niece have been attending Munchkins Nursery Dunton Fields since it opened in October last year.
My sister and I were a bit nervous about leaving them all day as we are both first-time mums and have only ever left them with family, they took a few weeks to settle as they only attend 1 day a week at the moment, but it didn’t take long for them to willingly run in by themselves. The staff are absolutely amazing and send us lovely photos and updates throughout the day to reassure us they are having fun.
At Munchkins, they are always very accommodating with social events and keeping parents involved and are always very welcoming.
My son and niece have so much fun, making things, seeing animals, learning, getting messy and they always come out smiling, they love it at Munchkins and we wouldn’t send them anywhere else.

July 8, 2020 at 12:00 amMy little girl just loves Munchkins; she can’t wait to go in the morning. The nursery setting is just beautiful, and the staff are so loving and caring. I get an update on the app about everything she has done, and I love seeing the videos and photos as to what she has been up to at nursery. The garden area is filled with lots of fun things for the children to do, such as mud kitchens, an amazing wooden climbing frame and a climbing tunnel. The staff really cannot do enough for me and my little girl, and put me totally at ease when I first left her, now my daughter asks to go to nursery, even when it’s not her day to go! I viewed several nurseries before Munchkins, but I knew straight away this was the one for her! I cannot recommend it enough, thank you Munchkins.

September 16, 2020 at 12:00 amMy little boy absolutely loves it here. He has come so far since joining and always looks forward to attending each day. The staff are lovely.
He has learnt so much since joining and has made lots of friends. His confidence levels have gone through the roof, which is great to see.

December 20, 2021 at 12:00 amThe team at Munchkins are amazing. They go above and beyond to ensure every child is happy, achieving and safe. All staff are warm and friendly and they take time to get to know the whole family when working with their children. Their safety measures are brilliant and the children’s needs are always their priority. My son runs through the door in the morning, looking forward to a fun-packed day with his friends and the team. Their resources are brilliant and the children all find them engaging, building their curiosity to learn more. Thank you so much Munchkins team, I can go to work with peace of mind that my son is in great care and developing so many important skills whilst having fun with you all.

February 11, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter is absolutely thriving at this nursery. She has made good connections with the staff members and also the staff members have made us, the parents, feel very happy to be sending her there. She’s been there since she turned 2 and on days she’s not there asks when she’s going! Everything about the nursery, from the communication to the activities they do is amazing. Would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone.

February 16, 2022 at 12:00 amI am so glad to choose this nursery. Their outdoor garden is absolutely lovely encouraging outdoor play with natural elements!
My daughter has become so confident in a matter of a few months. I love how they use various methods to teach kids how to communicate which also involves using sign language. I feel a part of my daughter’s development in nursery, since I am given regular updates and I feel the management really do value parents’ concern about their kid which is why I have chosen them again for my son!

February 16, 2022 at 12:00 amRecently started my second child here at the nursery and, after the amazing experience and amazing care they gave our son, I am so happy to say the same amazing care is still being given. My children are happy here and the setting is so welcoming. Would highly recommend.

February 16, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending this nursery for the past 2 years and she has always loved it from day 1! She is so happy going in each day and has made so much progress with the help of the wonderful team there. All the staff are so kind and caring and really get to know each child and their families.
The facilities are just amazing especially the outside space and all the creative activities that they do. We get kept up to date daily with how she is doing and get to see lovely pictures of her enjoying her time at the nursery.
The nursery really do go above and beyond arranging extra days out of nursery hours such as pumpkin picking, family fun days etc, parents evenings, which is a great chance to meet and speak with other parents and children.
I really could not recommend this nursery enough! We are so grateful to the team here and will be really sad when our daughter leaves to start school.

February 16, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending Munchkins for just over a year now. The staff are lovely and have always made me feel at ease leaving my son there. He loves it there and is always happy coming out. He took a while to settle but the staff have been amazing at comforting him and making him feel safe. I love the learning material at the nursery and how homely it feels. Also the meals the children are given sound lovely with an in house chef and my son always eats well. Would definitely recommend this nursery to friends and family.

February 16, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has attended the nursery for a few years now and we’ve never had any problems. The staff are all so warm to the children and my son has built up the loveliest bonds. The staff really take the time to get to know children’s interests and set up brilliant activities for them around this. Bright and clean facilities and a lovely garden where they spend lots of time.
The nursery is run well and management are always approachable. Highly recommend.

March 1, 2022 at 12:00 amI cannot say enough good things about this nursery. As a full-time working, first mum I was so worried about putting my little boy into the pre-school but he loves it. They do so many fun things he doesn’t get to do at home like cooking their lunches over a fire, going on day trips with his friends, crafts, playing outside and so much more. I love that they notice what your child loves to do and then follow their lead by putting out different things every day that they may be interested in (no matter how messy)! They are even in the middle of building a new floor for the pre-schoolers as a cosy den.
My son adores his mentor and they have already made such a special bond that I am so grateful for. He is singing new songs every day, saying new words, eating so many different healthy nutritious foods and I am put at ease every day while I work with pics and updates.
Everyone is truly very kind and helpful and comforts my son like he was their own when he needs it. Amazing team!

March 1, 2022 at 12:00 amI am absolutely delighted with Munchkins Day Nursery. I moved my daughter to Munchkins at Dunton Fields, primarily because of how current and adaptable the nursery is. I absolutely loved their whole wooden theme, their use of technology (parent app) and how the children are placed at the centre of everything. The staff are absolutely wonderful and communication is excellent. My daughter has settled very well at the nursery. The staff make a huge effort with creative activities and engaging the children. I thoroughly enjoy seeing my child’s progress through the parent app with detailed notes and photos. It is a wonderful nursery for any child to thrive in!

March 1, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter is always excited to go in the mornings and has formed a great bond with the staff there.
She has progressed so well I am really proud and I thank the key workers for their dedication and hard work.
All the staff are friendly and polite, you can be assured that they put so much effort in with the children and you can see on their happy faces.
Would highly recommend to anything thinking of this setting.

March 1, 2022 at 12:00 amTwo of my girls have attended Munchkins, from the baby room to the pre-school and both the girls love the setting.
The staff are lovely and friendly. They also organise outdoor events for the kids and family. I’d definitely recommend!

March 1, 2022 at 12:00 amMy 2 year old really enjoys going to Munchkins. My child started back in May 2021 and the nursery identified within a couple of months that they had some sensory issues along with speech and language delay. They were very pro-active in implementing additional help for my child. So I’m very happy with the setting and the staff and management are lovely.
The only area I would say that could, on occasion, be improved is the communication. Although this is normally only at busy times.
Would definitely recommend Munchkins to other parents.

March 1, 2022 at 12:00 amFrom the first time our daughter stepped into the nursery the staff have been nothing but first class. They genuinely care about how her day goes and she always comes home with a smile on her face. The nursery always have a mixture of activities, ranging from arts and crafts, to holding mini animal zoos at the farm. The staff encourage independence whilst eating, socialising and toilet training and they always provide sound feedback of how the day has been. As parents, we have been very happy with our daughter’s development, and could not recommend the nursery enough.

March 16, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended Munchkins for just ever a year and I couldn’t be happier with the level of care she receives. She is excited to get her coat on to go to nursery and always come home smiling.
The staff are amazing and deserve so much credit, I receive regular updates and photos and they actually bond with the children and get to know them.
The play area is great and has everything to entertain a small child’s imagination.
The nursery also provides cooked food and encourage the children to try different tastes.
I would highly recommend Munchkins to any parent.

March 22, 2022 at 12:00 amAs with most first time parents, you struggle between the thoughts of going back to work or staying at home.
We decided to send our daughter soon after she turned one. We chose Munchkins as it was close to home and good hours for us as we both work in the city.
After a year of starting she has grown up so much and is now in the toddler room. She is so happy to go and has learnt to play nicely with children (being born just before the pandemic limited her interaction with little ones. This was a worry for us).
Every day she comes home saying new words, singing new songs, dancing around the house and even trying new foods!
While I am at work I get daily updates on what she has been doing! This week she has loved pancake day!
Thank to all the staff for keeping her happy and safe!

March 23, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended the nursery since June 2020 and she absolutely loves it. The care given is amazing, the ethos and staff are incredible. It’s an all round outstanding nursery.
My son is due to start in a couple of weeks and I know he his going to grow and develop so much when he starts.
They work with you as a family to ensure the children are developing all the skills they need.
I’d highly recommend the nursery.

August 15, 2023 at 12:00 amThis nursery is amazing, my two little babies have grown and blossomed so much since starting with them, we have learned things we use in our everyday life that have made things so much easier at home. The women are amazing and friendly and so catering.
