Review from Katy G (Mother of Child) published on 24 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has attended this nursery for over a year and it continues to be the best nursery I have encountered. The staff are extremely supportive, kind and caring and have done wonders for the development of my daughter and she is absolutely thriving! They go above and beyond just child care and you can tell they prioritise each child and their needs and how to help them grow and prepare them for school. There are constant fun activities and rotation with opportunities for quiet times too and the outside play area is very impressive which they have frequent access to. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

Our son started Muddy Boots last September, he absolutely loves it. He has come out of his shell so much in a year. The staff are very nurturing and Chelene is amazing. The children do so much outside learning which is great. I would highly recommend this lovely nursery.

Overall Experience

We absolutely love Muddy boots, Our son joined last September when they opened and has grown and learnt so much, He has become so much more confident and happy compared to a nursery he was at before. We love how oftern the children are outdoors, they visit the allotment and forest regularly. All of the staff are lovely and our son is completely comfortable to with them. Thank you muddy boots.

Overall Experience

I'm super happy we chose Muddy Boots! My child is so happy here, he looks forward to coming in everyday! The team keep him well engaged with lots of seasonal activities, tying in lots of areas of learning to the activities they run. My favourite thing about Muddy Boots is the real life experiences the children get. Whether it is visiting the allotment to help grow fruit and veggies, building a fire in their forest school or helping prepare food in the cooking school, he is exposed to so so much. I feel like my child is so well look after and he loves all of the adults who care for him, I'm so glad we found this pre-school!
