We've had a really positive experience with Muddy Boots Nursery. Our child settled in so well, which was incredibly reassuring for us as parents. The staff are genuinely caring, attentive, and clearly take the time to understand each child's needs. You can really tell they create a nurturing and
supportive environment. We're very happy with the care provided and would highly recommend the nursery.

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.

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!

Muddy Boots is an excellent nursery with kind, caring staff. Children love the atmosphere and the friendly faces that welcome them. The nursery has great equipment and there is always something different for the children to enjoy and learn.

A lovely nursery, all staff are really friendly and approachable, The manager is supporting and welcoming.
A personal approach is taken to the children, my son has excelled in such a small space of time. He is always happy to go in and finds comfort from the staff. We love our daily updates and
photos.
The nursery itself is well-equipped, has a big garden area covered and uncovered and very clean.

Nice nursery, especially the welcoming indoor setup, the cleanliness, the engaging activities, and the emphasis on spending time outdoors. The staff members are always kind and caring, which we truly appreciate. However, we have noticed a high staff turnover, which can sometimes be a bit unsettling
for the children as they build relationships with their caregivers. We understand that staffing challenges exist, but we hope there is a way to bring more stability to the team.
It would be nice to have more lightning as it's hard to see when going to the building especially at pick up in winter time. The car park gets a bit flooded when it rains.

I am very pleased with the overall experience my son has at nursery. Attending nursery has enhanced his social skills and he often tells me about the friends he plays with. I love seeing photos of the activities he's taken part in on the app, and there's always a range of different activities
available which enhances so many different skills whether it's fine motor, pencil control or maths for example. He never has a bad day at nursery, and they always spend some time outside which my son loves - he loves playing in mud or running around with a big stick! The additional Spanish classes provided I think are an excellent way of introducing different languages and cultures to children at a young age, and hopefully sets him up for a life of curiosity and an eagerness to explore the world. Recently at Christmas, he was given a book as a Christmas present which was extremely thoughtful, especially as he loves reading and bedtime stories.

My child has attended this nursery since April 2024. The general facilities and cleanliness is very good and my child has always come home happy and is learning at a good rate. However there are areas where this nursery needs to improve, mainly with staff, the nursery staff are not very talkative to
parents when picking and dropping off your children. The staff no longer allow you in the room to drop and collect your child so you are in a small area where everyone can hear your conversations and there is a general lack of privacy and sensitive conversations are not private at all. Staff also forgot to give medication back at end of the day. The staff of a nursery are very important to the children and parents who build up relationships so it is a shame. Overall this nursery is excellent for learning has good facilities and very clean. I would recommend this nursery as I feel although there is room for improvement the general qualities are good and the faults can be easy improved.
