Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are so pleased you can see the benefits of all of the things we stand for as a setting!
Muddy Puddles is a fantastic nursery with wonderful, caring staff. Our 18-month-old daughter has settled in brilliantly and loves her time there. We have used Muddy Puddles previously between 2020-2022 for our now school-age daughter and she also loved it and was always excited to go. Great communication and always helpful with any questions.
Thank you so much! We are so pleased to see you back and pleased you are enjoying the setting equally the second time around.
Muddy Puddles is such a lovely nursery. My son has been attending since he was 9 months old and he loves it there. The building is modern and feels light and bright, the outside space is a good size with lots of things for the children to do. Most importantly the staff are brilliant, they are child-centred and focused on each child's needs, and they communicate well with us parents, which is so reassuring as a first-time mum. And it's very reasonably prized compared to a lot of other nurseries! Would recommend Muddy Puddles to anyone.
Thank you for your kind words, we are so pleased you chose us!
The staff are fantastic and so attentive and we couldn't ask for better care. The team are simply outstanding with the work they do. They work extremely hard and always give 110 per cent.
My daughter absolutely loves going to Muddy Puddles and runs to the door when we drop her off. Her knowledge amazes me with the things she has learnt and also the confidence she has especially with other children.
She has engaged so much and really does love her sessions.
The nursery is immaculately clean and very well looked after by the staff.
Overall 10/10 and couldn’t be more happier with our choice.
I can confidently add that the reputation is very very good, I have heard nothing but praise for this nursery.
Thank you to all the staff for all you do!
Thank you so much for your kind words, we are very pleased your child enjoys our setting and you are happy to send your child to us every day!
Day one our child was crying and didn't want to leave us when going to nursery. 3 months later she now loves it. No tears when she gets dropped off, runs open armed to the staff. We have built up loads of trust with this nursery and can highly recommend it to others. Very clean and modern facilities. Staff all very knowledgeable, professional and kind. The app keeps us updated throughout the day too which is a nice feature. Spoken to other parents using them and all are very happy with the service. It feels like an educational and development facility rather than just childcare which is great for us.
Thank you for this wonderful review! Your words are so kind, we are so pleased you love the setting.
My daughter loves this nursery, we feel that she is very safe and well looked after by the staff. The building is relatively new and is kept in good condition. And each day she comes home to tell us the varied activities they get up to.
Thank you for your review, we are pleased you enjoy the nursery setting!
We've had our 3-year-old son attending this nursery for around 2 years now, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. The staff is incredibly warm and welcoming, creating a safe and nurturing environment for the kids. They offer a wide range of activities that are both educational and fun, ensuring that the children are engaged and learning new things daily. The communication from the nursery is excellent; they provide regular updates on our son's progress and are always available to discuss any concerns or questions we might have. The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and perfectly suited for little explorers. Most importantly, our son loves going to nursery every day, which speaks volumes about the positive experience he's having. We highly recommend this nursery to any parents looking for a caring, educational, and fun place for their child.
Thank you for this amazing review! We are so pleased you love the setting and can see the hard work the amazing staff team put in. Thank you for choosing us!
My son has been attending Muddy Puddles since September 2023. When we came for an induction, we just knew it was the right nursery for him after viewing many others in Norwich. All the staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and really care for each individual child. He absolutely loves it there and always comes out with a huge smile on his face so we know he’s had a good day. Staff always update the parent app on a daily basis so we know what was for lunch etc. We both attended the Christmas evening back in December after the nursery was shut which involved lots of different arts and crafts - which was a lovely touch to meet other parents/children of the nursery. Also, attended my son’s first parents' evening last week which was very useful in understanding in more detail how he is progressing.
Thank you for your review! We are so pleased you enjoy the setting!
We’ve always felt so happy and confident with each room and staff.
We have had nothing but a positive experience throughout these years and have watched our little boy grow into a kind and confident little boy.
The staff go above and beyond and always welcome the children and parents with a smile each morning and always have time to talk and give us information on our child’s day. My son talks about staff every day and can’t wait to come to play and learn!
Muddy Puddles is a wonderful setting with an amazing range of resources for the children to explore with a lovely natural outside area.
Thank you Muddy Puddles!
Thank you for this amazing review! We are so pleased you love the setting and can see the hard work the amazing staff team put in. Thank you for choosing us!
My daughter absolutely loves this nursery, she’s attended since she was just over a year old and she is so happy in the red welly room! They offer a really wide range of activities including loads of outside time, which is so important. They are really good at communicating through the app and I feel like I know where she is developmentally. The new building is lovely and light and all of the staff are so friendly. I would absolutely recommend this nursery to anyone!
Thank you for this review! We are so pleased you bring your little on to us and that they enjoy there time with us!
Our son absolutely loves Muddy Puddles! He runs in every morning and doesn’t look back, and is absolutely full of beans when we pick him up. He seems to have great relationships with the staff and children and we love the weekly updates on the app too. Lucky to have a soft play area too. Thanks to all the staff at Muddy Puddles!
Thank you for your kind words! We are please you and him both love the nursery!
My daughter absolutely loves attending this nursery. All staff are very friendly and helpful. My daughter has learnt so much from attending this nursery, and I love the app they use so we get updates on how they are doing, what they have eaten etc, they also send you photos of your own child.
Thank you for this review! We are pleased you like the setting!
My daughter has a great time at Muddy Puddles. She always talks about the activities they develop there and gets very excited that she can write a few letters and identify numbers. She has her closest friends and is always eager to meet them. The staff are attentive and give her extra attention when she's a little moody or even sad.
Thank you for this amazing review! We are so pleased you love the setting!
I have two children at Muddy Puddles and they both absolutely love it! My eldest has been attending for 3 years and she’s turning into such a wonderful little girl. I feel Muddy Puddles has played a massive part in shaping her development and setting her up for school in September. She knows so many things that I haven’t had the time to teach her and I am so grateful. My youngest has been going for about a year and I’m so excited to see him learn everything she has. Thank you so much to everyone at Muddy Puddles!
Thank you for this amazing review! We are so pleased you love the setting and can see the hard work the amazing staff team put in. Thank you for choosing us!
What I like: we get regular updates throughout the day on the app and a weekly report both for our child and generally on the group activities.
The activities are clearly engaging and they’re outside in all weather.
The transition to a new room was handled well, sensitive to our son and the relationships he’d built.
The facilities that I’ve seen are good and I feel confident that our son is safe and in an environment that will help him develop.
Thank you for this lovely review! We are glad you are happy with the service we are providing.
Very happy with the nursery, both our girls have attended on a regular basis, and one is still at the nursery. The staff is very good with kids, and we feel that our kids are in a safe environment as well. They have a nice play area outside and inside and we are also happy with the cooking facilities they have.
Thank you for your kind words! They are very much appreciated.
We would recommend it to anyone in the area.

Our daughter loves Muddy Puddles and clearly has her days there. The staff are always so helpful and very communicative. The updates on activities are always comprehensive and it's lovely to see photos too.
Thank you so much for this lovely review. We are so glad that your little one is enjoying nursery.
Staff are kind, professional, and clearly very skilled in supporting children’s development and wellbeing.
Thank you so much for this lovely review! We are so pleased your little one is enjoying the setting.
Lovely friendly and caring staff, good email communication and very accommodating with requests. Occasionally odd item missing when collected but always get it back the next day. Good to have the app but not always loads of info on there but the basics are there and lovely to see pictures of them at the end of the week. Such a great bonus to have access to softplay some days.
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! It is so great to hear how much your little one is enjoying nursery.
