Our son is very happy at Muddy Puddles and attends happily 5 days a week. The nursery is set in beautiful surroundings with great facilities. We have always found the staff helpful and friendly and our son likes all of the nursery workers who have looked after him.

Review from C L (Mother of Child) published on 22 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son has been at Muddy Puddles for over 2 years since age 2. He has loved his time at the nursery. All the staff are very kind and caring and really get to know the children as individuals. There is always a lot going on to engage the children's interest including music, football sessions and French. The outdoor space is second to none. I would highly recommend the nursery.

Overall Experience

I have both my son's at this nursery and have been delighted with their treatment from day 1. The staff are caring and very considerate, the meals provided are nutritious and loved by both my boys. The rooms are spacious and have plenty of resources for the children to use. Outside space is amazing and was one of the reasons we chose this nursery in the first place. Overall I am very happy with the quality and content.

Review from Sarah A (Mother of Child) published on 19 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Pre-school staff are welcoming and attentive. They are always enthusiastic and my daughter enjoys every day she spends here.

She has learned so much since she started in pre-school and there seems a good mix of children to play with. The pre-school encourages group play, which enhances their social skills.

Review from Fiona B (Mother of Child) published on 19 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Both of my children have attended Muddy Puddles and I cannot put into words how impressed I have been with the pre-school team and the nursery manager. My youngest son was very nervous and upset about having to start pre-school, but the team worked really hard to ensure he felt settled and comfortable in a very short space of time. The range of activities that the children have available is fantastic and the relationships amongst the staff and pupils is clearly extremely nurturing.

I am very happy that my son is really enjoying being at nursery. I know he is cared for really well and he is always happy when he comes into nursery. He really enjoys the breakfast and tea but the lunch he never gets on with.
