Muddy Boots Nursery (Poppleton)

Muddy Boots has fantastic facilities and is staffed by extremely enthusiastic people who obviously enjoy what they do. The outside space is exceptional, and it's the amount of outdoors time the children get that first drew us to Muddy Boots, but following the move to the renovated barn, the indoor space is also now very nice and light with plenty of open spaces. An exceptional nursery.

My little boy has been going to Muddy Boots since he was 10 months old and he absolutely loves it and so do we. There are not enough words to express how happy we are with everything at Muddy Boots. It’s like a home away from home, the staff are all absolutely amazing. My little boy's key person knows him so well, listens to all his needs and adapts when he grows and changes. With her and the rest of the team, he is developing so much and learning every day. They are all truly lovely, we cannot thank them all enough.

Professional, consistent, fun, caring and an all round fantastic nursery! My little boy has been here for a few afternoons a week for nearly 2 years now. He loves it and we love it! The new building is incredible too!

We would highly recommend this nursery. The facilities are excellent and all the staff are very friendly. It really is a home from home nursery!

Excellent nursary. Our little girl has settled very quickly and loves going. We always get a full report of what she's been up to and the staff are friendly and always willing to answer any questions we might have. It has a great atmosphere and a fantastic ethos.

My daughter started at Muddy Boots earlier this month and absolutely loves it there. It's reassuring to know she's having fun and being well looked after whilst she's there. The menu for the food looks really good too. Great building and great staff to boot!

I would 100% recommend Muddy Boots to anyone.

My little boy has been at Muddy Boots since last March and he loves it. He has come on leaps and bounds especially since they have moved into their purpose built setting. I love that they have free flow to the garden all day so he gets plenty of fresh air and I love the activities that he does. The care is fantastic and the staff are like family. They always make you feel welcome and are great with the children and give you a full lowdown on what your child has been doing. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anybody looking for somewhere for their children.

My son is very settled and happy at Muddy Boots. He loves the new garden especially running up and down the hill! The staff are really helpful and supportive. They have recently helped us with potty training our son and stuck by the rules that we had made ie sticker charts etc. The nursery has a homely feel, all the staff we have met are very friendly and approachable including the management. I am very happy with the level of care my son receives and would highly recommend Muddy Boots Nursery.

The new building is just fantastic, the ease of access to outdoor activities in a safe and wholly private setting is a particular highlight. Having a purpose-built nursery is clearly a massive advantage to promote an exciting and safe learning environment and it feels like my son has access to all the things he needs to keep him engaged and happy.

Happy Daddy!

Muddy Boots Nursery definitely lives up to its values. My son always comes home happy and is always very excited and happy to go. The staff are all lovely and you can see they genuinely care for the children. 10 out of 10!

Love the new building! Facilities are great and the staff are even better. Our son is nearly two years old and has been going to Muddy Boots since 6 months. My favourite parts of the nursery is the variety and creativity of activities that the nursery facilitate and all the other children that my son has got to meet and develop friendships with. World class!

My son has now been at Muddy Boots Nursery for 16 months and all I can say is what an amazing place. From the staff to the children everyone has a fantastic attitude to making sure this really is the best nursery around. My son absolutely loves going to Muddy Boots and even at 2 talks about the things he has done while there. The correspondence with parents from the nursery is 2nd to none with constant updates of what is happening with the nursery. If anyone in the York area is looking for a nursery to take their child look no further than Muddy Boots Nursery it really is the best around.

Communication is very good. There is a real family feel. They provide lots of stimulating activities. The staff are excellent. My children are very happy there. My daughter comes home singing the songs she has learnt and telling us all about the staff and the other children.

Our son has now attended Muddy Boots for almost two months. After understandable early worries about how he would settle, we have been comforted and reassured by the caring, professional approach of the staff to him and the happy, positive time he has there. He talks about the staff when not at nursery and it has now become a place he enjoys going, where he is treated as an individual and his wants and needs are met. We feel very confident leaving him with the happy, positive Muddy Boots team knowing he will have a lovely time and want to tell us all about it. Big thank you to all the staff for making him feel so important and special. Looking forward to the big move to the new site!

I have some small concerns around communication amongst them but on the whole, I'm happy with what we've experienced so far.

My daughter is so happy and settled at Muddy Boots. The staff are amazing with her, they are engaging, encouraging and will happily give her a cuddle if she needs or wants one! The atmosphere throughout is warm and friendly. I couldn't be more impressed or satisfied with Muddy Boots, the staff and the care that my daughter receives. Although I believe that it will be even better when the setting relocates to their purpose built site soon.

Pleasant atmosphere around the setup. Good communication among parents, management and the staff. Very spacious facility inside and out makes kids to be relax and enjoy the day. Keen and skilled staff members makes the place for little ones to explore, experience good ethics.

My child has been attending Muddy Boots since he was 7 months. They made the transition to full time care happen really smoothly. He loves attending and has made some great relationships with both his carers and little friends. He regularly comes home dirty and tired which shows me he is having a wonderful time learning things outdoors. He has grown in such confidence over the past year and a half that he has been attending.

Great nursery with great staff who are friendly and really look after my child. He loves to spend time out in the muddy garden. The menu provided to the children has great variation and caters for all children.
