Business overview

Munchkins Nursery Dunton Fields is the second Munchkins nursery in Laindon and it has been described as a "Little Nursery Oasis!" Situated near the A127 and a short distance to the station it is perfect to access all local towns plus London.

Dunton Fields opened in September 2019 and already has an outstanding reputation for high quality childcare, learning and a home from home experience. Being part of the small, family run Munchkins group, Dunton Fields has already achieved the award of "BEST NURSERY IN ESSEX 2020," in the Essex Mums Awards, an achievement we are extremely proud of! The team are also working towards their "Just Quality" Award focusing on how their teaching impacts each and every child in our care.

Our nursery cares for 40 children aged from 3 months- 4 years in a single storey building with 3 rooms. Each room is individually designed to give every child the opportunity to explore and be inquisitive. The environment is full of natural resources, with cool, calm colours creating warmth and cosiness. Our baby and toddlers have a beautiful sleep/sensory room which is snug and inviting and a peaceful environment for them to nap.

We provide natural and authentic resources within the child's play to spark imafination, independence and first- hand experiences. We offer amazing learning opportunities based on each individual child's interests to allow them to floursih and grow.

Our Pre school room has direct access to our beautiful, all weather garden area which is seperated into two areas by a picket fence for our younger and older children. Our Pre school children are able to free flow between our inside and outside areas again giving them choice as to where they would like to be, and what resources they choose to access.

Our children learn totally through play and hands on sensory experiences which at times can be very messy, so we encourage all of out Munchkins to "dress for mess!"

We look forward to showing you around!

Amazing nursery setting

5
The 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.

Brilliant!

A brilliant nursery. I love sending my son and he loves going. He has made really good progress with he's communication, this has been helped by the staff teaching makaton. I love that everything is included in one price; nappies, wipes and food, making our mornings very easy.
The people are amazing, everyone is so helpful, professional and generally care about the children.

FABULOUS NURSERY/PRE SCHOOL

5
I cannot recommend Munchkins enough!! The nursery has a lovely, warm and inviting culture, which was something really important to us when choosing a nursery.

All the staff are wonderful, caring and supportive.

Every week there are new activities/experiences planned. All the children look so happy.

The key worker system works very well and I have always felt well informed of my child’s development, any challenges and well supported should there be any additional needs.

Communication from the nursery is fantastic, daily feedback, parents evenings, newsletters.

I’m so lucky that my daughter has a place here x
