Muddy Boots at the Farm

My son has been attending Muddy Boots Nursery for almost a year now, and we couldn't be happier. The baby room staff are incredible, patient, kind, and genuinely caring. Our son has formed a close bond with his key worker, which has really supported his confidence, and he often talks about the staff at home.

We love the strong emphasis on outdoor play. Set on a farm, it's an idyllic environment and our son absolutely adores being outside. The nursery offers a great mix of activities, including arts and crafts, reading, and imaginative play.

Recently, they had visits from a police car and an ambulance, which my son hasn't stopped talking about.

All the staff are warm and approachable, making drop-offs and pick-ups easy and reassuring. We feel completely comfortable leaving our son in their care and would highly recommend the nursery.

My child is currently at Muddy Boots and has been for 6 months now and is thriving. She enjoys most days and staff are great at helping her settle in. She often talks fondly about staff and her key worker when at home. Communication is great with the app and texts if needed. The outdoor space has been our main attraction for sending her there and they're outside a lot which is great.

Our daughter has attended muddyboots since Sept 2025 and we couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough. The staff are very friendly, good with the kids and communication is great both handovers and photos/ updates in the day.

The nursery has an amazing outdoor space that our daughter loves and they have a range of activities for her that she clearly enjoys.

Despite her being very nervous at the start she is now very happy and eager to get into nursery in the mornings which is a clear testament to the nursery itself.

The nursery is an amazing setting, Rachel and Lily are amazing in the baby room. To me the app is a hindrance and sets a high expectation to parents, looking for updates all day every day. The team don't have the time, I don't see what the harm is in having a proper hand over at the end of the day. Some photos are great and an added bonus. Also the food that is being provided in terms of lunch time meals all I am hearing is the same things each week and that yoghurt is always being provided as pudding. Can they not have rice pudding, custard and fruit and have a bit of a change.

I have seen how much my daughter has learnt and how her confidence has grown. I really couldn't have asked for a better place for her to begin her journey in. Thank you Muddy Boots - I wish she could stay longer! x

Our child loves going to Muddy Boots, he cannot get in the door quick enough. His development has grown massively since starting here. The staff are brilliant, so friendly and passionate about their job. There is such a variety of activities for the children, and my child certainly loves being in their outside space. We can't fault it at all.

Thank you girls for all you do for the children - I would recommend Muddy Boots the farm to anyone.

Muddy Boots have provided excellent support to both of my children, encouraged their development and provided emotional support for my more anxious child when needed. The staff are wonderful and the manager is always happy to help if I have any queries or issues. The children get a really good amount of time outside playing which I love!

My younger child loves her time there, and my older child still reminisces about it fondly. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Lovely caring nursery with a focus on spending time outdoors. We were really happy with the nursery we used for our older child but went for Muddy Boots instead for our youngest because she loves being outside. At first, she would cry when we dropped her off but now she is really keen to get there. When she had her settling sessions I got a chance to chat with the team there who are kind, sensible and dedicated. Compared to other nurseries, Muddy Boots is extremely calm- the children and staff are more relaxed. Some nurseries can be very noisy and it can feel quite overwhelming, but because of the good space indoors and outdoors, it feels peaceful. We get good communications during the day, there is an app and we get pictures and an 'observation'. I also like the location - lots of parking and I can nip into the local town if I need anything!
