Lovely nursery and would recommend to anyone. Our 1st daughter came here and knew our 2nd needed to come here. Any concerns or queries have always been listened to and dealt with straight away which is greatly appreciated.

My son loves to attend Nursery, he loves the staff especially one member of staff in the baby room who is amazing with him. We have never had any problems and he skips through the gate in the morning no problems. The facilities are also great and they have such a broad array of activities on offer!

Wonderful nursery, our children love it at Munchkins Nursery & Preschool. Fabulous people. The nursery has a lovely outdoor area, which our children enjoy. There is lots of activities and equipment to interact with. The yurt is a great space for extra fun. Meals are nutritional. Updates are provided on Tapestry and this is a great tool to see what your children have been up to. The nursery looks over the playing field and woodland. Great for nature and wildlife. Forest school is also provided here, which is another great asset.

My son attends Munchkins Nursery & Preschool in Wivenhoe and he absolutely loves it. Since first attending, his confidence has grown exponentially. He socialises well with larger groups of children, which is something he was shy to do before. The staff have always been very thoughtful and helpful. My son looks forward to his days at nursery. The systems used by the nursery are very informative; with regular updates and daily videos / photos of what my son has been up to at his exciting day at nursery.

Munchkins Nursery & Preschool and all the staff are absolutely amazing, we only have positive things to say about it. It's a very welcoming environment. Our daughter clearly loves it as she goes in extremely happy every time!

I was really worried about my little boy starting nursery, but the staff at Munchkins Nursery and Preschool have been so great at helping him settle in. They are so friendly and always have such a welcoming smile! My son loves being outside and can't get enough of their sandpit and outside space! His speech has really improved since starting there and he always looks so happy when he comes out to meet us.

Our daughter is really engaged and loves the outdoor space and creative amenities. Staff are great, particularly our current key worker. We would highly recommend Munchkins Nursery Wivenhoe to other parents.

We found Munchkins when we were still relatively new to the area after seeing an advert on social media. Straight away, the nursery stood out with its fantastic setting in a beautiful park with a woodland area. It has a forest school feel, lots of outdoor learning, and a Montessori-inspired approach, which we loved. The staff are brilliant- professional, knowledgable, kind, caring, and friendly. Our daughter's key worker is incredible. She has gone above and beyond to help our little girl settle in, always bringing warmth and patience. It is heartwarming seeing her run into the nursery full of confidence and excitement to see her new friends! They get to go on little walks, we get updated throughout the day with a care diary and we also get cute little videos and pictures on the app, which is a bonus! We would highly recommend Muchkins.

Munchkins is a true gem! The staff here are wonderful, very kind and loving and caring and clearly very attentive towards our daughter. The food served is healthy and varied and the activities provided are creative and work towards all sorts of development, often I'm impressed about what is thought of! What we appreciate the most about Munchkins is the uploads of her diary and her daily activities on the app and at pick-up time, as well as any concerns that might pop up. Our daughter always wakes up excited for nursery day during the week and calls the staff there her friends so it's very clear that she is safe, happy and attended to there.

An absolutely wonderful nursery for my son, I love the child led learning and it has helped my on the go develop so many new physical/social skills. Before he was a keep to himself kid that didn't like being approached by anyone but mum and dad and now he has grown so much and loves to play with other kids and enjoys extended family so much more. There home cooked meals have introduced him to new textures and flavours and this has really shown at home, I no longer feel stressed for what he will eat for tea, truly wonderful. The large outdoor area was so unique that I knew it was the place for him and his adventurous self and the staff encourage him to try new things safely without installing any doubt into his mind. I've seen my son grow into a bold, confident outgoing boy and I know Munchkins will continue to support him into becoming the boy he wants to become.

Munchkins Wivenhoe is a fabulous nursery setting, located on the playing field, surrounded by lovely green space and woodlands. The outdoor space consists of covered and uncovered areas, mature trees and yurt. There is lots to do and lots to keep children of all ages engaged. The staff are friendly and lovely, they make sure the care provided is second to none. Our second child is nearing the end of their Munchkins journey and she has loved it as much as our eldest. The activities are interesting and keep the children engaged in learning. Inside the nursery is clean with lots to do. The children are encouraged to do things for themselves and supported where necessary. We as a family are extremely pleased with how Munchkins have prepared our little ones for the world and primary school. You only really appreciate this when they start school. They know how to act, behave, interact, engage and play with others. A real credit to the efforts made by the staff at Munchkins. Well done.

We have had two of our children attend Munchkins Wivenhoe and we are extremely happy. The kids are too! Our eldest has since moved on to primary school and our youngest is in the toddler room. The team are amazing and helped us through some extremely tough times and really went above and beyond to support us. Highly recommended.

My daughter started nursery when she was 8 months old, she's now 2 years and almost 4 months and we've never looked back. She is so excited when it's nursery day, the staff are all incredible. I recommend the nursery to all my friends who have small children and would definitely use the nursery again if I were to have another child. They are so imaginative with the different activities they do with the children, I couldn't ask for more from a nursery.

From the moment we entered the nursery for our show around my little boy was off exploring the outside play facilities. The staff are wonderful and really care about getting to know each child and their individual needs and likes/dislikes. Leaving your child to be cared for by others is such a huge decision and I know that my son is being looked after well, he comes out happy and full of beans to tell me what he's been up to. I have full confidence in munchkins and am so pleased that they are a part of my son's learning journey.

My daughter has now been attending this nursery for three months. The change in my daughter in terms of her speech and overall development is outstanding. She comes home singing nursery rhymes and mentioning staff members by their names and what they did today. She's always excited to go to nursery and when I collect her she's extremely happy. Staff are very caring and attentive. Want to give a special recognition to one staff member in particular and what amazing work she has done with our daughter as we had a new baby arriving. It's been noticeable.

Our eldest attended Munchkins from 12 months until he started school and our youngest has now been at Munchkins for just over 2 years. They both absolutely love Munchkins! The nursery has a great outdoor space to play in and explore, I'm always blown away by the amount of fun things they get to do all in one day. The inside space is nice too. The staff are lovely and their communication is fantastic. Our youngest has the loveliest key person in the preschool room, she's so kind and caring. It'll be so sad when our Munchkins journey ends next year when it's time for school.

So far we have had a wonderful experience at Munchkins Nursery in Wivenhoe. From the first contact, visit and adaptation days, they were very responsive, welcoming, and detailed. My child quickly created a bond with her caretaker and some of the staff as well. I like that we get pictures and explanations of some of the activities they do, which include cooking, outdoor play, field trips to the local area, independent play and much more. Kids are encouraged to follow their interests and their independence is valued. I trust their care and feel confident that my child is getting the right socialization, stimulation, and nutrition during the day.

Staff have all been excellent! Settled our baby in really well and after a week she was happy to say goodbye to us. The manager replied to all our messages really quickly whenever we had questions. I would definitely recommend them.

We had a wonderful experience at Munchkins Nursery in Wivenhoe. From the start, the staff was welcoming and supportive, they showed us around before our little one's first day, answered all our questions and listened to our needs. They made us and our toddler feel safe and comfortable. This helped him settle in quickly and create special bonds with the staff. We appreciate seeing pictures of the daily activities, where you can tell children are having fun and being nurtured. From what I see, the staff encourages spontaneous play and individual preferences, while proposing age appropriate learning opportunities. They planned special trips to the library, the park or the pier, which the children seem to enjoy a lot. We also appreciate receiving a detailed account of his day when we pick him up in the evening. For us, seeing our little one's wide smile at drop in and pick up is the best sign that he is in a trustworthy and positive environment, and we couldn't be grateful enough.

Could not recommend Munchkins enough! Both my toddlers enjoy their time here, always happy and thriving! All the staff are wonderful and care about the children so much and their development! Both my toddlers have the same key worker and she is absolutely amazing, they both have the best relationship with her and adore her she is so good with the children and amazing when it comes to helping with their development and skills, she is so patient and kind as are all of the girls! There's so much to offer at the nursery they even get to go out on little trips. Best place for any child! Would not send them anywhere else!
