Day Nurseries Owned by Muddy Boots Nurseries in North Yorkshire

The nursery as a whole is great, I couldn't fault the staff they have been truly amazing and have helped flourish my child in their setting, my little boy has built some amazing relationships with the staff and I can truly see how much he is loved there. Although there are some points I think would be great to improve the setting, I'm not a huge fan of the consistent changes of rooms - the amount of times your child changes rooms at this nursery is uncomfortable especially if your child takes a long time to settle into a new routine / environment and rebuild trusting relationships all over again. Also I don't think the amount of trips and outings they do at the nursery are overall great my sons been to the garden centre and car park and library in all of his three years there. I think more external people need to come in for activities especially on the pre school room doesn't appear overly stimulating for the time they are there.

Muddy boots in acomb are fantastic! My son is very shy, does not like to leave me, will not drink out of anything other than his bottle, since he started in nursery in the middle of September he has become so so much better! The staff are absolutely fantastic. They have gotten him to drink out of a cup, he has the best days there! He goes in so happy and comes out even happier! He eats so much more now and honestly can not thank them enough!! X

This is the third nursery we've chosen for our child, and we're so happy to have finally found the right one!

The teachers are very caring and responsible, and they always keep us updated. Our child was very happy on the first day and couldn't wait to go back! We also love the outdoor and group activities, which are great for their development.

Thank you so much to all the wonderful teachers for your care and dedication!

They provide a great variety of food and are always doing new activities with the children. It's so lovely seeing how much thought goes into making each day fun and engaging. We honestly couldn't be happier and feel so reassured knowing our little one is happy, well cared for and having lots of fun!

My baby joined Muddy Boots when she was just 9 months old. All the staff are so caring and considerate. I feel they really go above and beyond to care for the children. My little girl loves going there, she's made so many friends, including the staff! I would (and have) recommend Muddy Boots to friends & family

Our little girl has been going to Muddy Boots since she turned 1 and she settled in so quickly. Shes now 2years and slips into nursery. She loved spending time outside and Muddy Boots is perfect for that. They spend most of their time outside even in the rain which is just brilliant for the kids to explore. We really recommend muddy boots! Also you can go into the classroom to collect and I think that's really important to see what they are up to.

Our son loves attending this nursery and his progression developmentally since starting is amazing. As a fairly anxious first time mum I appreciate all the communication and updates received and seeing how much the staff care and pay attention to each child puts me at ease. They regularly write snapshots and focus week assessments so we know how he is getting on and always are happy to discuss anything you'd like them to focus on. The range of activities and focus on outdoor learning is such a positive to us as it aligns with our values. Our son also seems to enjoy the variety of food offered. We also couldn't be happier with the staff in the Adventurers room for all their support so far especially our son's key worker.

Fantastic nursery. My child was 15months when we requested a space. We had been trying to settle her, but he was really unhappy being away from family members.but the staff have been really supportive and respectful of our needs as a family. We've been able to take it at her 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

My little boy has been going to muddy boots for just over a year and loves it. The staff are so kind and caring and really shine. I have had exsperience with other nurseries and the standards here really are 5* the updates we get, photos and focus week of our child are big highlights for me. They listen to our needs and always help when needed. I also have a child who goes to the afterschool club which she also loves.

The staff in the trailblazer team really have taken the time to understand my child's needs and interests. My child has settled into this room quickly & loves to learn, whilst also having the freedom to free play.

The staff are amazing & can never do enough for you.

The care is excellent and so clearly person centred, you can really tell they take the time to know each child. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to any parent in the area.

My daughter attends the after school club here and had previously attended the nursery. It's a great setting. The staff take their time to get to know the children individually and the facilities and activities are engaging and well planned. Would recommend.

Our daughters had her first month at nursery and it's been great being able to drop her at muddy boots knowing she's in good hands. All the staff are so supportive and knowledgable, always helpful and considerate that it's our first time doing this. Sophie has been great to deal with & we are really happy with the experience so far.

I have had my kids at Muddy Boots since 2023 and my experience has been incredibly positive! In the first two rooms particularly (baby and toddler), my children have been so nurtured and so well cared for! The key workers have known exactly what my children's needs are and they work so hard for the children to feel comfortable and confident. They are really intentional about the children's focus weeks and really seek to help the children grow and thrive! I can't say enough positive about all the key workers that we've had and they have become like friends! Communication is excellent and if my child is having a tough day, they are in close contact with me, which I really appreciate! The administration is lovely and have always tried to accommodate our needs! The children are well fed and nappy changes are really regular! The third room that my child transitioned into maybe felt slightly less organised and a little more overstimulating but overall my whole experience has been very good!

I'm mum AV and RV, who have recently started at Muddy Boots Acomb as part of the after-school club.

Before Muddy Boots, they were with an amazing childminder, but it was becoming quite tiring for them as they had to get the bus from school. This was especially difficult on cold and rainy days. They would often ask us not to send them anymore, which unfortunately wasn't really an option for us because of work.

Since starting at Muddy Boots, the difference has been so noticeable. They are genuinely happy on the days they know they're going there after school - in fact, they never want to leave! They're constantly asking if they can go more days during the week, they absolutely love the food, and they talk about all the activities they get to do.

The staff are amazing, and as parents, we feel completely reassured knowing they are somewhere safe, happy and well looked after.

We honestly feel like we made the right choice for our family.

Thank you so much,

Both of my children have had such a great experience at Muddy Boots, would really recommend

Staff are lovely and the team really take on any feedback. I feel like my children have been really well looked after

Our daughter loves attending muddy boots. She has developed so much in her time there. Her speech has improved enormously and she has created a wonderful group of friends who she has moved classes with. She is always encouraged to be her authentic self.!

My little one is very happy every single pick up and has an enjoyable day

Lovely, well maintained nursery. Friendly staff and excellent activities that support child development in every area. Set in fantastic grounds with plenty of outdoor space for children to explore and be creative.

We changed nursery in September 2025 to Muddy boots (as we're not happy with the initially setting). Muddy boots has been everything we wished for and more. My child has thrived and thoroughly enjoyed her time. The staff are great and communication good
