Muddy Boots Nursery (Drighlington)

It is difficult to sum up what makes Kaleidoscope Drighlington the perfect nursery. Whilst everything is 'Excellent' I think there are two things that really stand out. Firstly it is so very obvious that each member of staff is so committed to working with children, I really don't think I have ever seen any staff that aren't 100% focussed on what is going on in the room. That means so much as a parent and is so reassuring. The second stand out point is how effective the leadership team behind the scenes are. The commitment to continually grow and develop is truly inspiring. Top-down genuine care and love for what is in the children's best interests is not something you see often... but we have seen it consistently since we transferred our child here nearly two years ago. Throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, they have fully supported parents and staff and have ensured they have done all they can do. I have nothing but praise for everyone who is part of the team. Thank you.

I was so nervous about returning back to work after having my baby. I just couldn't imagine leaving my baby with anyone and them doing exactly what I was doing at home. I gave all my details about how and what I was doing at home and they took note of every single detail I wished them to. It took a bit of getting used to leaving my baby with someone else but I am so so happy I chose Kalidescope to look after my child they care so much for each and every child and I can see that in every room my child went in. He is currently in koosh and he absolutely loves it. My second baby is currently in attending and he also loves it and has grown a very strong bond with his current key worker and feels very comfortable in the nursery setting. I have already recommended kaleidoscope to a friend and she moved her child from another nursery to here and said it was the right decision to move and now sends her second child. Love this place. Massive thank you once again to ALL the staff.

Both of my children have attended Kaleidoscope Nursery and I have recommended this setting to my friends who have been equally impressed with the level of care shown to the children. They have recently received a well deserved outstanding Ofsted Grading. I would say to anyone that’s looking for childcare to go for a visit and meet the staff who I’m sure will make you feel at ease and comfortable with what is a daunting task.

I was very anxious about leaving my son at first. But he loves coming and interacting with the children and the staff. His development is coming along nicely since he's been here. The staff are really supportive in everything and I'm glad I chose this nursery for him.

Both my children have attended Kaleidoscope day nursery at Drighlington since they were babies (now 5 and 3 years old). I honestly don’t know what I would have done without the care, love, teaching and nurturing they have shown to my children. All the staff who have looked after them genuinely care and as a mother, it is so lovely to know that when I drop the kids off so I can go to work, they will have a day of fun and laughter. Kaleidoscope has been so accommodating to us, I work shifts so the children are in nursery and KOOSH on random days. This has never been a problem. I literally couldn’t recommend them enough.

Can’t praise this nursery enough. My little girl loves going and has formed fabulous friendships with both other children and staff. Activities are always age-appropriate and educational. Facilities are great and parents are always kept updated and informed on progress.

I have been using this nursery since my daughter was 9 mths old in the baby room through to her now being 5 and using the KOOSH club. I also have a son who goes here. They both absolutely love it! The staff are brilliant and although it’s a fairly large site all the staff know all the children. My 2 have built really strong bonds with staff over the years. There are 4 different rooms which the children move up into and found that the staff work really well to make the transitions go smoothly. The facilities are excellent and the activities such as forest school and mini maestros is an added bonus which both of mine enjoyed. The nursery uses an online app where you can look at what the children have been doing and what they are currently working on. The phonics work they do in the Blue room really helped my daughter for when she started school. I have and would highly recommend this nursery as I have never had any issues and all the staff including management are very approachable.

Both my children have attended this nursery over the last 5 years. The facilities are excellent. The staff are amazing, caring, approachable, understanding, patient and professional. My children love attending. They regularly come home with stories, crafts, baking and a smile!! I fully recommend to any parent.

My son currently attends this setting. He has a great time every day he attends and is never reluctant to be left there on a morning.

The staff are always helpful, friendly and caring.

I love this nursery as do both of my children. Has one of the best outdoor provisions in the area and I love how much time the children spend outside.

Kaleidoscope is an excellent nursery that offers fantastic facilities. Regardless of which room your child is in, all the staff take the time to get to know your child. Since my son has started at this nursery he has thrived in his learning. I think this is down to how the staff respond to the children’s individual needs and the variety of learning that they offer.

I made a bold move to change my daughter's nursery to here after around 2 years in a previous nursery and I wasn’t disappointed. I have now without question sent my second child. The staff are friendly and each of my children’s primary carers in their chosen rooms have given my child great support and always look happy to be with them when I leave and pick up. They offer a great variety of care and opening times work well for me. To top it off they have been rated outstanding!

My son loves it at nursery and always looks like he's had a wonderful time, my daughter went too until last September and she was so upset to leave.

Staff are outstanding and the outdoor area and open access is a unique asset.
