My children really enjoy their time at Munckins. Sam and Emily have proved to be friendly, flexible and fun. No concerns at all and I highly recommended Munchkins.

Sam and Emily have really made my daughter feel settled and at home throughout the days that they look after her. It has been lovely to see how they both care so much for her. I would highly recommend them both.

We moved to Sam and Emily in the summer holidays and can honestly say the children love it. They took the time to get to know the children and likes and dislikes before they started and centred the first few days around that to help them both settle. My eldest is 8 and youngest 3 at the time and spent full days with them over the summer holidays. The always run straight in and often moan at me if I’m early as they love it so much there.
They do days out which is fantastic and the meals have been home cooked and the kids have even said it’s better than my meals!
Emily has babysat for us too and they are both genuinely lovely people focused on the children. Can not recommend them enough.
