Muddy Boots Nursery (Poppleton)

This nursery is excellent, my son has settled very well there and the staff are fabulous. I have no previous experience of other nurseries to relate to however everything I had hoped for has been exceeded. It's fun, the staff are flexible and my little boy is gaining confidence and skills by the day. He's been there since the start of March and he has grown so far. There is space there that I just don't have at home for all the messy play he gets to do.

He gets to try new food, new activities and they have all the learning toys you could think of.

They obviously watch the children well as the two times he has bumped his head he's been well looked after and absolutely fine.

They respond to any e-mails/questions I have in a prompt manner and I couldn't ask for anything more.

A fantastic nursery with caring and friendly staff and great facilities with plenty of space inside and out. Muddy Boots has gone from strength to strength since we started using the nursery in 2012. I couldn't ask for more from our childcare. The biggest clue is seeing my happy little toddler who's always smiling when I pick him up at the end of the day. You can tell he's had a good time. I love the fact that the children spend plenty of time outside and go for little adventures in the local area. Things can only get better when they get to the new premises just up the road. The management and owners hold regular parents forums where you can hear more about what's going on at nursery and can ask any questions. They have been keeping us up to date with plans for the new site too and we have asked for our input and ideas as well. Can highly recommend this nursery to all.

Muddy Boots is an extremely friendly and welcoming nursery where all the staff seem totally committed to providing excellent childcare. Our son has been attending for a few months now in the baby room and could not be happier - he has a huge grin on his face as soon as he arrives on a morning and its still there when we pick him up!! Lovely atmosphere, great ethos and a great variety of activities each day. We are delighted with our choice of nursery!

It was so refreshing to find a nursery that learned towards more natural surrounding. The children get to use their imaginations by playing with cardboard boxes, sand, wooden blocks, bubble wrap, mud! The staff are really friendly and I believe they cater for the individual child. My little girl needs some extra care and they provide it so well and it gives me great peace of mind.

My three year old attends Muddy Boots twice a week and adores it, all the staff in all the room are so friendly, kind and approachable. My daughter has recently moved up to the Pre School there, the transition was well managed and seamless with my daughter remaining happy and excited throughout. My 10 month is due to start in 2 months and I am relaxed about her settling in with a home visit and settling in sessions already arranged. There is so much space at the nursery and the numbers are purposefully kept lower than they have to be which ensures the children have space and that it is not as busy and chaotic as other nurseries I have visited. I would not hesitate to recommend Muddy Boots to any friends or family members.

A caring, considerate and fun place for my daughter to learn and develop. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and fun. My daughter loves her time there and comes home full of stories about her day. She has made friends for life. We are really happy with their care and attention towards our daughter.

This is a fantastic nursery with really lovely enthusiastic staff. Our little boy absolutely loves going there each time . I always find the staff to be friendly and helpful. Lots of outside time is perfect for our busy boy.

Muddy Boots has been incredibly supportive of our child since she started two years ago. They have eased all developmental transitions and have really looked after her well being. All the staff are approachable, polite and very friendly. Our daughter loves her time at Muddy Boots. Her capability and skills have come on leaps and bounds since she started and a huge success of this has been linked with the activities they do and the time they spend outside.

The staff truly care for my son and it;s a second family for him. You can tell they love working there, I credit my sons development to their amazing support. Thank you xxx

A fantastic fun environment where my daughter is happy, cared for and enjoys getting muddy! We have been extremely happy with the support and care shown by all staff.

Our son loves going to Muddy Boots. They encourage fair play and friendship. My son plays outside every day doing various activities which is very important to us. The staff at Muddy Boots are excellent and really give each child individual care. I feel that the pre-school is the perfect precursor to primary school.

They are well equipped and the food looks to be a good quality meal. The cover a range of activities and it sounds like my child always gets a fun packed day. They get to spend time outside which I value highly. I feel I made an excellent choice with this nursery.

Fantastic nursery - an all round gem! All the staff are friendly and genuinely care for the children they look after. My little boy comes home happy, well fed and full of stories about the things he has done during the day - from painting, dancing, singing and getting muddy in the lovely play area outside. Everyday is different for him and I can go to work knowing he is happy. The staff all go above and beyond the call of duty and even helped me organise my sons guests for his party. Thank you Muddy Boots for being so amazing.

Muddy Boots is a fantastic nursery. My daughter has grown so much in confidence since attending. All the staff know her and they are all so pleasant. All professional, the staff truly have the children's best interests at heart. I will always recommend Muddy Boots. Fantastic.
