We are really pleased to be able to announce that here at Muddy Boots we are about to undertake something very exciting, an accreditation called Investors in People!

At Muddy Boots nurseries, we want the best for all of our children, families and team. To ensure that this happens, we have a really strong emphasis on building a healthy team, because we believe that a Happy Team = Happy Children = Happy Families

It’s not rocket science, but we try our best to create a setting in which our team know they are valued and supported, and not just there to ‘do a job’. A healthy, happy team creates a healthy, happy nursery environment and a positive atmosphere which children flourish in!

We truly believe that if our team are continuously supported, empowered and encouraged to improve their practice as professionals, they will be positive and engaged in all of their interactions with the little ones.

We firmly believe in aspiring to be better and aiming for excellence in everything we do! We won’t settle or be satisfied with mediocre or the ‘status quo’ – we are committed to constantly seeking ways to evolve, develop and improve.

To help us measure how well we are meeting our objectives around our team, we have decided to work towards the Investors in People (IIP) Accreditation. Investors in People set out the criteria for high performance through people. It’s a simple framework to benchmark the effectiveness of leadership and management within an organisation, and it will let us let us know how we are doing, keep us focused, show us what we do well and what we could do better.

We are looking forward to the process and can’t wait to share the result!
