Their father, Cedric Brown (Colin Firth), is an undertaker. His wife has passed away. He is very busy with work and struggles to care for his children. He has already hired 16 nannies, but none could handle the kids.
One day, a rather unusual-looking woman arrives at his door. She introduces herself as Nanny McPhee. She has amazing magical powers. Nanny McPhee begins to teach the children five important lessons.
