Day Nurseries Owned by Muddy Boots Nurseries in West Yorkshire

A brilliant nursery housing three settings; for Under 2s (Discoverers), 2-3s (Investigators) and 3+ (Trailblazers). It's a fairly small building, meaning the numbers per room are not too large - making you feel confident your child is getting great care & attention. The team there are always friendly and we have created a strong connection with certain staff members over the time our daughter has spent at Muddy Boots Gildersome. The app used by the nursery is also great. It's regularly updated so that you can follow along with what your little one has been getting up to. Would recommend this setting without hesitation.

Muddy boots feels like family.

Recently we have had a few traumatic and unfortunate/unforeseen personal things happen to us as a family.

The girls and management at muddy boots Gildersome have gone above and beyond for us as a family and have helped massively making life easier.

I already knew the nursery was incredible my daughter (2) has settled so well and absolutely loves her days (so much so we've added another just for her no other reason) but what they've done for us as a family in recent months will never be forgotten.

We love muddy boots and the girls there really do make it the nursery it is x

I would definitely recommend muddy boots gildersome to any parent looking for somewhere to place their child. We was very anxious about putting our daughter in nursery, but the staff have been brilliant from the first look round we had, and made us feel at ease. They give updates on our child throughout the day & also settled our daughter in very well from the start. They have very good food options for the kids meal times/snacks, and do a lot of fun and engaging activities with the children inside and outside to help them progress with their learning. We have definitely noticed an improvement on our daughter development since she started here in Jan 2026

His development in his speech and language has come on leaps and bounds since starting. He has also learnt to play kindly alongside other children and share without fuss. The staff are so attentive and communication from staff is outstanding. The management are extremely approachable and helpful and the setting itself has a great set up with a huge outdoor space which our son loves to play in.

Fantastic set up and very good with my daughter. She has learnt so much coming to nursery and she loves to go. All of the nursery workers are really lovely and take lots of time to get to know each child.

We highly recommend this nursery. Our little one is slowly settling in and everyone has been incredibly supportive.

Parents receive daily updates about the children's day. You can also check their meals/nappy changes/naps.

Both of my girls go to Muddy Boots and the care is second to none. The staff are amazing and it has become a home from home. I would definitely recommend the nursery. I know that my girls are well cared for, well fed and are getting the best start to their education. Well done Muddy Boots.

"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."

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!

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!

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!

Muddy boots is a fantastic nursery, my son Leo absolutely loves coming here seeing his friends and staff members. He's been coming here since he was 4 months old and I'll keep him here as long as I can before he starts reception at big boy school. They helped support me with so much including potty training, help with eating and trying new food, helping him crawl to walking, and emotional support even on days where he felt upset. Would 100% recommend this nursery to any new parents looking for their children. Megan is my son's key worker and I cannot thank her enough for what she's done for Leo's development, he never stops talking about her when he comes home and he says Meg is his best friend!

Both our children have thrived by attending the nursery. The prioritisation of outdoor play, including forest school, have been great opportunities for the children to experience different environments and embed learning from the indoors to out. The focus weeks particularly the two way communication around these, asking for our recent observations, and tailoring approaches where appropriate have helped the children's individual development. The staff are incredibly attentive and helpful. Not just with regards to the day to day, but administration team and enquiries about funding. Everyone we have spoken to has been friendly and approachable with any questions we have asked. Also the food offered to them is brilliant, with transparency and communication around this area, which has helped us know that are children are being catered to with healthy and nutritional options. We can't thank everyone enough for all they do.

Amazing nursery I had both my children go to muddy boots, my son still attends and they are helping me help him. The staff have given me tools to help him at home. He enjoys the outdoors and playing on the climbing frame.

I would highly recommend muddy boots gildersome to any parent looking for somewhere to place their child. I was a very worried parent putting my child in nursery but the staff are amazing and made me feel at ease straight away and give updates on my child throughout the day & also settled my daughter in very well. They have brilliant food options for the kids meal times , and do a lot of fun and engaging activities with the children to help them progress with their learning .

Excellent nursery. All of the staff are amazing and really seem to know my child well after a short period of time. She has a great relationship with her key worker and all the room staff who are so caring. They always do so many different activities throughout the day to ensure the kids are learning whilst having fun. We get lots of updates and photos to keep us in the loop of what she is getting up to each day.

An absolutely fantastic nursery, since my daughter starting with them at 9 months they have been nothing but attentive, professional and loving towards her. She has developed so much with the activities they arrange and they have brought the absolute best out of her. She has gone through a lot of change in her time there and nursery has been a fantastic supportive consistent place not only for her but for me too. Can't thank them enough and so glad I chose here.
