Overall Experience

My son has been attending Muddy Puddles Nursery since he was 6 months old. The staff have nurtured him into a lovely pre-schooler. Staff are always so welcoming at the door and no question is too much for them. The app is very informative and gives us a great insight on our child's day. Food and nutrition is taken seriously and there's always a varied menu. I feel my child is ready for reception as the team have been persevering him to be school ready. Thank you to the entire team, my son will really miss the nursery and the staff.

My daughter loves being there, playing, doing the daily activities... the teachers are nice and caring with the children.

When she can't go because she's sick or something like that, she gets anxious to get better soon so she can go to daycare to see her teachers and play with her friends.

Reply from Natasha Varshani, Manager at Muddy Puddles Nursery

Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to us to hear how happy your daughter is at nursery. Knowing that she enjoys the daily activities, her time with friends, and the care from our teachers.

We're especially delighted to hear that she's eager to return whenever she's away that's exactly the kind of nurturing and welcoming environment we strive to create every day.

Overall Experience

A lovely nursery. I recently moved back to the area while being in-between houses and chose this nursery due to it being a convenient location for us, but we have ended up liking it so much.

Staff are super friendly and knowledgeable, everyone welcomed my daughter nicely.

In the short time my daughter has been there so far, she has learnt many things and I can definitely see her developing more skills. She's taken more interest in reading since being there as well walking more independently (thanks to their fun daytrips)

Look forward to seeing her develop more. Thanks to the Muddy Puddles team

Reply from Natasha Varshani, Manager at Muddy Puddles Nursery

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're happy to hear that your daughter has settled in so well and that you've both had such a positive experience with us. We look forward to continuing to support her development and celebrating her milestones together. Thank you again for your kind words and for being part of the Muddy Puddles family.

Review from R A (Mother of Child) published on 28 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We enrolled our child in Muddy Puddles, Rayners Lane at approx.8 months old. Now the child is 2+. The teachers are very attentive to our child's needs, and we get a daily update on how our child was there through an app, plus an overall conversation with the teachers when we go for a pick up. Our child looks forward to go to the nursery. We also see that the teachers instill good values through use of books and songs. Eg. our child says,"hands are not for hitting, hands are for eating, hands are for painting,etc". Our child makes an effort to tidy up things and sings "tidy up, toys away". we also see that our child bonds well with all age groups (children as well as grownups).The nursery celebrates most festivals, special days like odd socks day, charity days, grandparents day, Father's & Mother's Day. All these give a sense of partnership in raising a child. We feel very confident when we drop our child to the nursery to go off to work. Because, we know our child is in safe hands!

Reply from Natasha Varshani, Manager at Muddy Puddles Nursery

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thorough review! We are happy that your child enjoys coming to Muddy Puddles. Our staff work hard to create a nurturing, safe and engaging environment. We hold parent partnership events so that families are connected within their child's learning...

So happy to have found muddy puddles. My daughter settled so well and is thriving there. They're so helpful and always attend to her needs and ours as parents. They always work hard on improving their nursery as a whole. Always involve parents in big events during the year and being able to see what your child does every day is amazing.

They are very good with focusing on a child's engagement and progress, or constructive, suggesting areas for improvement and ways to support the child while they also providing specific, actionable suggestions for support, like practicing a skill at home or modifying classroom. The location was perfect for us. We are glad that we sent our daughter there for her initial learning.

Thank you so much we are glad you chose us for this important journey in your daughters development. Our team always works together with parents ensuring that children are supported at home and nursery with suggestions discussed. We are glad this has made a positive difference.

This nursery is the best choice that i made for my daughter to come here, she like every teacher from here, telling me nice thinks about them. When she start , it s not even 2 weeks and she s was settle there, and now when i come to pick her up, she doesn't want to come home , she want to stay more. The bound between the staff and kids is amazing. They are doing a lot of activities inside or oustside, and they give many types of food and fruits. Many thanks to all the staff from here for taking such a good care for our children.

Review from Roseline Y (Mother of Child) published on 26 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I wanted to take some time to pass on our thanks to all the staff at the nursery. Your efforts with our child are really appreciated!

The nursery have an app that allows us to keep an eye from the moment they are dropped off in the nursery and even include their learning achievements. They have clubs provided by external providers and have already started a reading log for my toddler.

They are a great group of staff members and I have been incredibly impressed with the level of care and support received.

Last but not least, thank you to the owner and director of the nursery for being with us from the beginning and easing us into this process. The nursery was chosen out of 6/7 nurseries in the area and I’m glad I chose Muddy Puddles.

Our child now goes into nursery without crying and orders her grandma to 'go back to nursery' when she’s picked up so they are clearly doing something right!

Natasha Varshani

I have worked in childcare since 2012 and am passionate about providing high-quality care for every child. I believe in creating a happy, inspiring, and nurturing environment where children can thrive and, most importantly, have fun! As a manager, my goal is to ensure that children, parents, and staff all feel supported, valued, and at home in our nursery.

Outside of work, I enjoy pet sitting, spending time with friends and family, and exploring new places.

“Children may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.”

Purvi Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2021
Purvi

It’s been five years since I moved to London, and during this time I’ve really enjoyed working with children and learning about the EYFS. The experience has helped me grow both personally and professionally — every day brings something new to learn and smile about. Working with children has truly nurtured my patience, creativity, and understanding, and I love being part of their early learning journey. Watching them explore, grow in confidence, and reach new milestones makes my job so special and fulfilling.”

“Every day is a chance to learn,

You Know You're a Teacher When...

you're having a bad morning until you get to work and see the smiles on those little faces, and somehow, your troubles seem to melt away for a while”.

I enjoy dancing, socialising, discovering new places, learning new things, pushing myself to take on new challenges and sometimes reading.

Sona Job Title: Baby Room Leader Joined: 2024
Sona

I have been working in childcare for 14 years and am responsible for providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children. This role involves supporting children’s physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development through age-appropriate activities and daily routines. I also plan and implement educational and recreational activities that promote learning and development. Additionally, I support children with daily routines, including meals, naps, hygiene, and playtime. My hobbies are Zumba classes and spending time with my family.

Neelam Job Title: Pre-school Teacher/SENCO Joined: 2021
Neelam

My career path into childcare began in 2021 and felt less like a choice and more like a profound calling. I truly believe it was meant to be—a divine plan that placed me with these little children. My previous roles as a yoga instructor, homemaker, and mother of two provided me with essential skills: mindfulness, patience, discipline, and a holistic focus on well-being. My purpose is now clear: to offer exceptional care and build the best possible foundation for their future.

Apart from work, I enjoy long walks in nature or city environments, listening to philosophical talks, dancing, and drawing.

I approach education with a fundamental belief: to become a great teacher, you must first become a good student. This conviction means that listening to children is the most powerful tool in my practice. By actively observing and paying attention to their unique cues and interests, I can truly understand their needs and guide them effectively.

Lakshmi Job Title: Toddlers Teacher Joined: 2023
Lakshmi

My teaching journey began quite unexpectedly about 15 years ago, when I joined a small phonics course at my son’s school. What started as simple curiosity soon became a true passion, inspiring me to complete my teaching assistant courses and step into the world of education. Over the years, I have also had the joy of teaching the Indian classical instrument, the Veena, sharing the beauty of music and culture with others.

After spending several years in banking and gaining valuable life experience, I felt a strong pull to return to what I love the most—teaching. Now, as I begin my very first role in EYFS, I feel both excited and fulfilled to be back where I belong, helping little learners grow and discover the world.

Outside of work, I enjoy travelling, exploring different foods, spending time with friends and family, painting, and dancing at community events and parties.

Every chapter of my journey—from music and banking to teaching—has brought me closer to what truly makes me happy: inspiring others, staying creative, and celebrating life.

Siumi Job Title: Nursery Chef/Floater Joined: 2025
Siumi

I have experience working with children through both teaching and care roles, and I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment where every child feels supported. As a preschool teacher and nursery chef, I love encouraging children’s curiosity through play, helping them grow in confidence, and providing healthy, comforting meals that make them feel at home.

I bring a calm, friendly, and professional approach to my work, and I truly enjoy being part of the children’s daily routines and watching their unique personalities shine.

“Every child is a new beginning—full of potential, wonder, and endless possibilities.”

Iman Dar Job Title: Nursery Apprentice Joined: 2026
Iman Dar

As an Early Years Apprentice with a background in veterinary care, I have been passionate about working with children from a young age. I am excited to begin my journey in early years education while continuing to develop my skills within a nurturing nursery environment.

I love creating a fun, supportive space where every child feels safe, valued, and eager to learn. Making a positive difference in children’s lives—while ensuring they enjoy every moment of their learning journey—is what matters most to me.

Outside of work, I have a strong love for nature, travelling, and exploring new countries. I enjoy photography and films, and I am a big animal lover, with pet rabbits of my own.

“Every child is a story yet to be told, full of wonder and endless possibilities.”
