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 and imaginative play.
Staff are always on hand to scaffold and support, ensuring a positive and encouraging atmosphere without interference or judgement. The large garden offers as many opportunities for learning and exploration as the indoor spaces, strongly emphasising fresh air, exercise, and muddy adventures. Children spend as much time outdoors as possible, benefiting from a no-fuss, child-focused approach that allows them to develop at their own pace, growing into confident, curious individuals prepared for their educational journey and beyond.

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.
