The film does not closely follow the plot of the trilogy, but several individual scenes are derived from the three books. Emma Thompson started to write the script, based on Brand's books, in the spring of 2007.

The books were later adapted for the films Nanny McPhee (2005) and Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang (2010). In the first motion picture there are only seven children, and Nurse Matilda is renamed Nanny McPhee – her first name is not mentioned. Also, the ending of each novel was tedious and repetitive, basically a repeat dream sequence that only altered in details and not in the actual premise. The illustrations aren’t particularly noteworthy either, featuring crude line drawings more suitable to uncritical pre-teens. Appropriate, since they would seem to be the main readers for this type of book.Angela Lansbury as Great-Aunt Lady Adelaide Stitch, the aunt of Cedric's late wife and the family's primary financial support The film was theatrically released on 28 October 2005 in the UK by United International Pictures and on 27 January 2006 in the US by Universal Pictures and was released in the UK on VHS and DVD on 13 February 2006 and in the US on DVD on 9 May 2006 by Universal Studios Home Entertainment.

Nanny McPhee, now fully beautified, magically makes it snow in August, transforming the wedding scene and changing Evangeline's clothes into a wedding dress, and restores Aggie's rattle. She then leaves surreptitiously, in accordance with what she told the children on her first night: "When you need me, but do not want me, then I must stay. When you want me, but no longer need me, then I have to go.". In Victorian Britain in the 1860s, widower undertaker Cedric Brown is the father of seven unruly children—Simon, Tora, Eric, Lily, Sebastian, Christianna "Chrissie" and baby Agatha "Aggie". He is clumsy and loves his children, but since the death of his wife, has spent little time with them and cannot handle them.

My mom loved Nurse Matilda when she was little, and technically the copy I read was one that she found years ago once they started printing it again and she recognized it as her much beloved book. It goes along well with my current fascination with the UK, and my overall love of old fashioned children's stories.
