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.

How we do it

• We focus on developing the uniqueness of every child: we work with each child’s constantly changing and unique interests to ensure their development is about them, not 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 knows and loves 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.
