Muddy Boots at the Bungalow, Exeter

Located in the heart of Pinhoe, this cosy bungalow embraces the same outstanding, outdoor, and eco-conscious ethos as all Muddy Boots nurseries, providing a calm and nurturing environment where children can thrive.

The setting focuses on child-led learning, with resources placed at a low level, encouraging children to explore and self-select. A simple block of wood can transform into a car, a phone, or part of a tower, fostering creativity...

I am incredibly grateful to all the staff. My daughter joined in August last year and has settled in wonderfully. She arrives happy every day and is always greeted with such warmth by the team. Her confidence has grown so much, and the staff are consistently supportive as she develops new skills. The nest offers a wide range of engaging activities, giving her plenty of opportunities to explore and learn. Communication is excellent overall. I'm always on the app and in person. Thank you to all.

My son started nursery at Muddy Boots in February 2025 and he loves it. The staff have been lovely, really helping him settle in, and the wide range of activities they do keep him engaged and happy the whole time he is there. He is excited and happy every morning he has to go to nursery and I am so happy and calm knowing he is being taken care of.

Review from Jade L (Mother of Child) published on 25 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with Hudson's nursery. From the very beginning, he settled in so quickly, which honestly says everything about the environment the team have created. He absolutely loves being there, and that reassurance as parents is priceless.
A huge thank you to all of the staff who made him feel comfortable, while also making us feel so welcomed and at ease during what can be a really emotional transition. Leaving your baby is no small thing-but the care, warmth, and genuine kindness from the team made it so much easier.
The staff are incredibly professional, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. It's so lovely to see how much they care about each child as an individual, supporting their development while also making sure they feel safe, happy, and confident.

We're so grateful to have found such a nurturing and supportive environment. Highly recommend to any parents looking for a place where their little ones will truly thrive.

Review from R R (Mother of Child) published on 22 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We've been using Muddy Boots at the Bungalow for 5 years now, and both children have loved being there. Communication via the app, with frequent pictures is great. We love the range of toys and activities, including Spanish lessons, and the flexibility to last minute book in extra sessions with little hassle has been very useful on the odd occasion.

There had been a lot of staff turnover for a period about a year ago which was unsettling for a time, but the current staff that have been there for a decent period now are absolutely lovely! All very helpful, kind, attentive, and really care for the kids, so the atmosphere is much improved again these days. Would recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

Our daughter Jemima has thrived at Muddy Boots. She has made huge progress in many areas but particularly her eating, an area which she has struggled with for a long time. We have felt very supported through the process of addressing her fussy eating. The staff are all so warm and look after Jemima as if she was their own. We will miss Muddy Boots when Jemima starts school!

Reply from Krissy Jones, Family Experience Co-ordinator at Muddy Boots at the Bungalow
Hello,
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We are thrilled that Jemima is happy at Muddy Boots. We love having her with us and are enjoying seeing her thrive, making new relationships, and experimenting with new foods for our new menu.

Danielle Day Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2022
Danielle Day

Hi, I’m Danni. My early years journey began in 2002 when I started my own childminding business, which I ran for over 10 years. In 2022, I joined Muddy Boots Nursery and have since progressed into the role of Nursery Manager.

I believe early years practitioners should be co-adventurers alongside the children, supporting them as they explore and grow. Creating a warm, home-from-home environment is very important to me, where children feel safe, secure and confident to thrive.

The most rewarding part of my role is seeing children grow, reach their milestones and develop into their own unique personalities. I also value building strong partnerships with families and supporting staff to grow in confidence and develop their careers in early years.

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