Muddy Boots Nurseries are a safe place where your child can grow, develop & thrive into their unique self. Our family-from-family, home-from-home private day nurseries offer childcare places for children aged between 6 weeks and 5 years old, giving you the peace of mind to confidently get on with your busy life

Choosing the right day nursery setting, with its style of childcare and philosophy on Early Years Education is probably leaving you feeling uncertain, anxious and a little confused!

That’s where we come in!

Our qualified and experienced team genuinely love the little ones they look after and work hard to ensure every one of their unique interest is built upon, whilst providing plenty of adventurers and new experiences, every single day

At Muddy Boots, we understand leaving your child at nursery can be really tough.

We believe our quality communication, dedicated staff team and unique interest-driven childcare will make it a lot easier!

But… don’t take our word for it!
Here is what some of our wonderful families think:

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:

What makes us unique?

We focus on outdoor adventures, always

Outdoor exploration is central to our educational philosophy. Muddy Boots is not just a name β€” it reflects our belief that children learn best through adventure, discovery and connection with nature. Our settings provide extensive outdoor environments and nature-based learning experiences, allowing children to explore, experiment and develop confidence through real-world experiences.

We believe exceptional childcare requires constant evolution. Through weekly parent feedback surveys and ongoing review processes, we continually refine our environments, communication and learning experiences. This ensures our nurseries are always improving based on the real experiences of families.

We are committed to continuous improvement

Our people are the foundation of our success. Through regular engagement surveys, leadership support and investment in staff development, we ensure our teams feel valued and empowered. We believe strongly that happy teams create exceptional nurseries, and that the quality of relationships within our teams directly shapes the experiences families receive.

We are built on happy, outstanding teams

Want to join the
Muddy Boots family?

We make joining the family as simple as possible,
with three easy steps:

  • Your journey will start with show-round where you will meet with one of our management team, get an overview of what life is like at Muddy Boots, as well as having plenty of time to ask all the questions you have

  • If you choose to book with us our team will walk you through the booking process. You will then be invited to book two settling in sessions, where your little one can spend some time in their new room, and you can spend some time getting to know their new key team member

  • Once your little one starts with us, you will have access to our Famly App, which is updated throughout each day with plenty of updates about meals, snacks, sleep and all the different activities they have been enjoying. This, combined with a thorough handover at the end of each day will keep you fully in the loop with life at nursery.
