About Muddy Boots Nursery

Since opening our doors in January 2012, with only a few team members and a handful of children, we have continually worked to build day nurseries with a strong family ethos and home-from-home feel, which have now been enjoyed by over 1000 families and counting.

Here is how we do it:

- We focus on developing the uniqueness of every child: We work with every child’s constantly changing and unique interests to ensure their development is about them, not employing a one-size-fits-all approach
- Our outstanding team builds strong relational bonds with our families, built on quality communication: This ensures our parents have the peace of mind to get on with their busy lives, knowing their child is with a team who know and love them
- We focus on outdoor adventures, always: Muddy Boots isn’t just a name, it’s a daily way of life. We believe in as many outdoor adventures as possible and create amazing outdoor experiences to facilitate them

The name ‘Muddy Boots’ really sums up our whole ethos - to not be afraid to let children learn by getting muddy, exploring, going on adventures and getting out there and having a go Children enjoy a wide range of activities both indoor and out, planned by a qualified and experienced staff team who genuinely love and care for all the children. Our aim is that every individual child thrives and flourishes into their unique selves in our positive, family-feel environment.
