Muddy Boots Nursery (Poppleton)

We couldn’t be happier with Muddy Boots as our little boy’s second home. He loves it and we have always been impressed with how much the staff genuinely love and care for him. The building, food and range of activities are all excellent. He is constantly encouraged to learn and try new things and the staff are great at spotting what will inspire and engage him personally.

My daughter has been at Muddy Boots for nearly 2 years, she has totally loved it and still does, she has special needs so I was very nervous about leaving her with someone else but I was put at ease straight away, the staff do so much with her and she has thrived, she loves all the staff, in particular, her key worker. We will be very sad when my daughter moves to school.

Thank you for all your hard work!

The staff at Muddy Boots show undisguised love for the children in their care and beam with pride when talking about my little one. I trust them entirely with my child's safety, well-being and development.

This nursery is a modern and well-equipped nursery. There are lovely areas inside and out for my child to explore, play and learn in. He is really comfortable with his key worker, who keeps my wife and I informed about his day. Photos are taken and notes are made, which are shared through an App at regular intervals throughout the month. It was particularly useful for our child and us, for him to gradually increase the amount of time he spent at the nursery in the beginning. All staff seem very friendly and helpful.

Our son has started Muddy Boots in the last year and it’s been such an easy transition as we (as parents) have seen how happy our son is to be there. It’s obvious from his reactions he enjoys the diverse activities and interaction of playing with other children and staff. The facilities are beautiful and the atmosphere is warm and homely. A brilliant nursery that i’d certainly reccomend! Thank you Muddy Boots x

Management is very approachable and friendly also.

Lovely staff and facilities, can’t recommend it highly enough, my child is very well looked after and always has a lovely time.

By far the best nursery I’ve come across! My daughter has only been attending for 2 months but so far she loves it. It didn’t take her long to settle in at all and that’s because of the amazing help from the brilliant staff! I can go to work knowing my daughter is in the best hands and that she’ll be having fun. The staff and so kind and generous and they work so hard helping each child develop to their full potential! 10 out of 10 from me.

A happy team of staff, who always seem to be treated like family by the management, work hard together to create a brilliant environment for the kids. They are dedicated, energetic and caring, turning the fantastic facilities into an inspiring home from home.

So very pleased with how our daughter has settled at Muddy Boots! She is coming on leaps and bounds and enjoying lots of new experiences. The feedback and photos we get on ParentZone are very reassuring and her carers put so much effort into updating us with lots of info. I highly recommend Muddy Boots nursery.

My son recently joined Muddy Boots and the staff have been amazing at helping him to settle in. Communication has been great! During the first few sessions, they called to let me know he was settling well and I've also appreciated all the information when I pick him up - it's lovely to know what he's been up to, and hear about the fun he's had. I've also loved looking at the photos that have been uploaded to ParentzZone.

I have and will recommend Muddy Boots to other new parents.

Muddy Boots has taken amazing care of my little girl.

From the moment you walk in the door, you are greeted by happy, welcoming staff who are not only well qualified but are also committed to treating each child as an individual and ensure they are looked after in a supportive, home from home environment.

They give me thoroughly, honest feedback at the end of every day. They are also great if you have any questions about your child’s care and go the extra mile if you ask them for any support.

Thoroughly recommend. The new building is beautifully designed and well thought out too.

Amazing. My boy is always happy when I drop him off and happy when I pick him up. Staff really cares for him and he came up in his speech and social skills in leaps and bounds.

The setting is just amazing. The staff genuinely care and put 100% into everything. They are so thorough with explaining what your child has been up to during the day.

I cannot praise Muddy Boots hight enough. My son settled straight away even though he had never spent a day away from me before. Each member of staff genuinely care for the children and it really shows. The location is lovely and the children have plenty of outdoor play, which is very important to me. My baby has thrived.

Our daughter has been at Muddy Boots for nearly two and a half years and we cannot praise it highly enough. The staff genuinely care for all the children and the ethos is nurturing, warm and fun. There is a real sense of teamwork, and everyone is friendly and welcoming. The opportunities provided are excellent, with an emphasis on being free to explore and investigate. Both indoor and outdoor provision is fantastic and we know our daughter is gaining a wide range of opportunities. She is very settled and happy which is the most important thing for us. She regularly comes home singing new songs or telling us about the stories they have shared together; as well as the adventures with her friends. We have no hesitations in recommending Muddy Boots.

I had my heart set on Muddy Boots right from when we decided to send our daughter to nursery. I wanted a nursery where she'd be free to play and explore and where they weren't afraid for her to get a bit mucky!

As I'm sure it is for any parent/child, it was difficult at first leaving my daughter with people she didn't know but she soon settled in and now holds her arms out to the members of staff when I take her in the morning.

I love that the children can play how they want - indoors or outdoors and how the nursery is always coming up with ideas to aid their development. My daughter loves it there and is learning so much; her speech, in particular, has been coming on in leaps and bounds and I'm sure Muddy Boots plays a part in that!

Thank you for everything you all do to make my daughter's experience such a nice one (and for making our lives so much easier knowing she is contented while we are at work!)

The nursery and the team are wonderful!
