Review from P R (Father of Child) published on 30 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We went to every nursery in the area looking for where to place our daughter, and Muddy Boots at the Market stood out for how caring and knowledgeable the staff clearly were.

We feel entirely comfortable leaving her in their care. We're consistently updated and know exactly what is going on with her development and every single member of staff know exactly what is going on with her. Our daughter clearly enjoys it too, as we have no problem or fuss dropping her off. I couldn't recommend Muddy Boots at the Market highly enough.

Overall Experience

From first walking into Muddy Boots at the Market, whilst still deciding where to place our child, my wife and I were blown away by how switched on, caring and aware the staff were. We both feel 100% comfortable in trusting you with something so very important to us, our child clearly loves coming, and we couldn't have asked for better support, care and transparency. You have listened and understood our requests, showing nothing but professionalism and made such an effort with her. We would happily recommend you to anybody. Our Room Leader is also wonderful, always upbeat, on the ball, and an absolute pleasure.

Overall Experience

We are extremely happy with this nursery and the care they provide. My daughter has been attending for some time now, and the staff have always been kind, attentive, and professional.

What really stands out is how well they support her with her eczema and asthma. They are very understanding of her needs, take great care to manage any triggers, and always keep us informed. It gives us real peace of mind knowing she is in such safe and capable hands.

Another thing we really appreciate is the variety of food they offer. She is given a wide range of healthy meals and snacks, which has really helped encourage her to try new foods and develop good eating habits.

The staff go above and beyond to make sure she is comfortable and happy, and it's clear they genuinely care about the children. She enjoys going to nursery & has grown in confidence so much since starting.

I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent, especially those whose children may need a little extra care & attention

Review from Adrianne E (Mother of Child) published on 13 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Choosing a nursery after a negative previous experience was daunting, but this setting has been a total revelation. The staff immediately stepped in with a clear, professional plan for development and care. They didn't just "watch" her; they understood exactly where she was and precisely how to guide her toward her next steps. From managing her allergies and toilet training to her incredible speech development, the care has been faultless. She has transformed from a quiet toddler into a confident, bubbly, and talkative girl who genuinely excites at the thought of seeing her friends and teachers. I especially love their approach to learning; the open access to high-quality resources and continuous provision allows for truly child-led play, perfectly balanced with adult-led activities that challenge her. The communication is excellent, and the handovers are always a joy. This nursery feels like a true "co-parent"-nurturing, child-centered, and deeply supportive. She is so happy and loved

My little one has settled in so well to Muddy Boots, and I am really pleased with how the team have helped her to do so. Communication is always good, I always receive a thorough handover at the end of the day, and I am grateful for the updates on the app. So far, it all feels very organised and most importantly, my little one goes in happy and comes out happy.

My son started muddyboots in the market and wouldnt speak a word the team have worked wonders with him he has come on leaps and bounds.
As a parent you want the best for your children and the ladies have been the best for my son supporting him with his needs and also helping me get the right referrals I needed to get his autism assessment.

Not sure where we would be Without these wonderful ladies.

I highly recommend muddy boots in the marker as they are best in town.

Thankyou so much for everything you done for my son and myself

Muddy boots The Market is one of the most nurturing and supportive nurseries I have experienced in a long time.
They allowed as long as me and my daughter needed to settle into the setting and supported both of our needs. This intern means my daughter happily gets her bag and walks into the setting.

we couldn't be more happier with the progress she has made in making relationships with both adults and peers and how content she is on a day-to-day basis.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Muddy Boots at the Market for over a year, and it has been a truly great experience. It's been so rewarding to watch her grow and gain confidence under the gentle guidance of the nursery practitioners.

The setting is well-equipped and thoughtfully organised, offering a wide variety of fun and educational activities that keep the children both engaged and entertained. We receive prompt, detailed daily updates, which give us a good insight into her day and development.

The staff are enthusiastic, friendly, and incredibly supportive. My daughter absolutely adores her teachers and speaks about them with so much warmth and affection at home. The nursery manager is approachable and always happy to help - her door is always open, which creates a very welcoming atmosphere for parents.

We're especially grateful for the support we received during potty training, which made what could have been a challenging time so much easier.

Highly recommend x

Vicki Grace Job Title: Manager
Vicki Grace

Hi, I’m Vicki. I began my early years journey over 20 years ago as an apprentice, building my experience from the ground up. In July 2024, I became Manager of the very nursery where my career first began, which is a full-circle moment that means a great deal to me.

I believe the early years provide the foundation for everything that follows. Children thrive when they feel safe, supported and truly listened to, and I am passionate about creating a child-centred environment where they can explore their interests, build confidence and grow at their own pace.

As a mum of four, I understand how important it is for families to feel reassured and connected. Building strong relationships with parents and creating a welcoming, community-focused nursery is at the heart of everything I do.

The most rewarding part of my role is the relationships we build each day — listening to children’s stories, watching their confidence grow and being part of those early years that shape who they become.

I would love to welcome you to our nursery in Tiverton and show you around, so you can experience our warm and nurturing environment for yourself.
