Day Nurseries Owned by Muddy Boots Nurseries

I don't know where to start! My child started nursery in Stamford Bridge in November 2025 and I can't begin to explain how happy and proud of this setting I am. My child has come on so well since starting here. When it comes to focus week Debbie who is my child's key worker writes the most beautiful words and you can tell how much effort goes into writing these. All the girls in the room are fantastic. My little girl gets so excited to go into nursery. Seeing how much love and care she gets brings me so much happiness. It will be sad to change rooms soon as it feels like she's got a second little family going on there. Well done to the team in there. I'm so grateful for your hard work

"My children have both been comfortable with whoever they have been placed with and that has been my biggest takeaway. The communication is also spot on incase of accidents or anything out of the norm and also reassuring as it can be quite hard on parents not being present in those moments to know their children are safe and cared for. The flexibility in managing changes in circumstances is beyond measurable and I can only praise the team in the office for all their hard work. An all round great experience and I will continue to refer when and where possible."

D learns so much at nursery he is always coming home with new words and rhymes. He is always happy to go to nursery and very rarely upset when we leave. He sometimes does not want to come home! He loves his key worker Georgia and mentions her name lots at home.

My son is currently in the Gildersome setting and the Nursery is absolute amazing. My child has been in there since the age of 1 and wasn't not confident with new people or surroundings. However Muddy boots have really turned it around especially my Sons Key workers his confidence have grown, his speech has come on leap and bounds and its no hassle on a morning to get him to nursery for me to rush to work. The nursery is very accommodating and patient with both parent and child. The communication is brilliant and secure which is a piece of mind for me as In the nature of my work I need to ensure my child is safe and happy and looked after. Recently, I was offered a different setting however due to the most recent visit I was not happy to remove my child from Muddy boots and its the best decision made. Muddy Boots is embedded in our hearts as when im telling my son he has done something wrong at home he gets shoes and says his Key worker name and goes to the door!

Our little girl is super nervous around new people but Megan helped her settle in so quickly, she talks about her a lot at home and now gets excited to go into nursery! She has come along so well since starting at Muddy Boots. Her speech, counting and confidence have all come along leaps and bounds! We love the updates we receive about how she is developing her different skills at nursery.

Very happy I chose Muddy Boots to be my son's nursery. I couldn't be happier with the level of communication from Muddy Boots from the start. I really appreciated the midday messages in the early days when I was anxious leaving my son with them, and they always take the time to talk to me about his day when I collect him. They regularly write snapshots and focus week assessments so I know how he is getting on developmentally. The quality of the setting environment is impressive too which was important to me, as well as the focus activities they do with the children every day. There is clear progression from room to room too as the children get older. My son loves coming here and I have full faith in the service they provide

My daughter has attended Muddy boots Gildersome since she was 10 months old. I was very nervous but the staff are very caring and you can see they really care about each child. My child loves staff there and talks about them daily. She has recently moved rooms and love hearing the songs she has learnt at nursery and new words etc. I love the famly app updates and I get so excited to see what my child has been doing at the end of each day and show her the pictures and ask about her friends and activities. The activities are so creative and my child has evem started requesting to make her own cereal (i know they teach this independence even at 2 years old at nursery) which is fantastic! She even gets opportunities to take part in external activities which she enjoys singing and dancing etc. Food - has fantastic menu and looks amazing! Would recommend this nursery to other parents!

We relocated to York in January so moving to a new nursery was a very big life change for my 4 year old. However the staff at Muddy Boots were brilliant. Her key worker Rach went absolutely above and beyond to help her adjust and deal with her sadness around leaving her old friends behind. The facilities at Muddy Boots Acomb are lovely. The building is light and airy and the outdoor space is brilliant. My daughter is outside so much and absolutely loves it. She particularly loves tent school and is enjoying all the transition to school activities. She's been very happy there, even after such a short time

A lovely nursery setting. My little one started at 9 months and has been thriving socially. Both the discoverers and investigators rooms have been great. The team supported my little one during a period of separation anxiety and managed it very well. They put special measures in place until she felt settled again.

Such a great nursery. There are so many wonderful learning experiences for the children that are so varied, fun and engaging. The staff really do put a lot of time and effort into making the learning environment and experiences fantastic for all, and suited to the children's needs and interests too. Feedback from staff is wonderful and they really get to know your child, which makes leaving them so much easier. Thank you.

I have recommended Muddy Boots to friends and will continue to do so

E loves nursery and has so much fun when shes there. She enjoys sharing her experiences with us at home, telling us about her day and singing songs she's learnt. I am really enjoying the chefs updates, its great to see the food (which E loves!)

Overall the nursery is brilliant. I have children in the Explorers and Pioneers rooms; both of them love their time and have built lovely relationships with the workers. Staff always ensure the run down of the child's day is relayed to parents, alongside the Famly app all information is given!

" F and his key worker J are best pals - F really loves the time they spend together and chats about J and his dog at home all the time. F has the best time together playing at nursery and J gives wonderful updates on F's progress and development - and J really understands and encourages his interests as well as challenging him along the way. The activities to develop motor skills, number counting and social skills are great and the progress we can see at home is just growing week by week. R, his buddy - is the kindest and most wonderful lady - and F loves his cuddles and book time with her. These two fantastic people make F's experience so enjoyable and Muddy Boots is lucky to have them

We value all the staff in discoverers and appreciate everything they do to provide meaningful experiences every day. Sophie has been fantastic so far as our child's key worker, she knows him so well already and he absolutely loves her! Although we have only been at the nursery for a relatively short time, my child has settled so well due to the incredibly welcoming and friendly staff and the daily, engaging experiences that are on offer.

My son R absolutely adores Helen he was saying her name as one of his first 5 words and he only goes twice a week. The relationship Helen has created with R is amazing considering he was completely adamant he did not want to go to nursery in the beginning as he has never left us before. At pick up he's happy to see mum or dad but full of blowing kisses to his key worker which makes us so happy.

Fantastic nursery. Our child was 18months when we requested a space. We had been trying to settle him with a childminder, but he was really unhappy being away from family members. It took a while to settle him, but the staff have been really supportive and respectful of our needs as a family. We've been able to take it at his pace. Communication is great, staff are lovely, genuinely kind and passionate about seeing children thrive in their setting. We love the outdoors/indoors flow and they're often doing creative activities that follow the interests of the children. We're really happy with the provision.

I honestly can't recommend muddy boots enough. All the staff are amazing and my daughter thoroughly enjoys it. Her confidence has really grown since going. She expecially loves tent school and all the activities they do.

Ali (and all of the staff to be honest) are absolutely fantastic! They show so much genuine care and love for the children! R's focus week observations show just how well Ali knows R and how settled he is in nursery. He is happy to toddle on in each morning with a smile on his face and is always engaged in play or having a snuggle when I pick him up! Honestly, the Discovers and Stamford bridge leadership team are FAB!

A has come on leaps and bounds since he started nursery, he has changed so much in the year he has been there and his confidence is great. It's nice to know that when I leave A at nursery I do not have to worry, the girls that work with him treat the children like their own. As soon as A walks into the room they get the trains or cars out for him to settle him into his day at nursery.
