Muddy Boots Acomb

Each of the rooms follows the Muddy Boots theme & style to support our curiosity approach to childcare, as well as having direct access to an outdoor garden space, which supports 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! 

The children who call Muddy Boots day nursery home enjoy a wide range of activities, both indoor and out, planned by our qualified and experienced childcare professionals, who genuinely love and care for all the children, and love what they do!

Our Rooms

  • The Discoverers Room is where all our youngest babies have lots of fun and cuddles. At this very early age, babies are taking everything in – watching and observing everything around them, listening to all the interesting new sounds, and learning by feeling and touching everything in sensory exploration. We work to encourage a baby’s development in a space which is homely, nurturing and stimulating.

  • And they’re off! No longer babies, children in this room are keen to get going and start going on their own little Adventures! Toddlers at this age are starting to find their feet and independence, and it really starts to shine through. Each day the carefully planned activities are engaging and exciting, bringing new challenges and experiences for the children. To support the child in their quest for newfound freedom, adults provide a fantastic environment where children are safe to independently explore, experiment and learn through play.

  • Innovators is our free, school-hour, term-time-only offering at Muddy Boots Acomb. Our Innovators enjoy the same Muddy Boots childcare, both indoors and outdoors, offering lots of physical and social interaction, opportunities for group play, and plenty of time to develop unique interests. With a room full of curious resources and treasures, and a team with a wealth of knowledge, the Innovators spend time developing key skills such as communication and independence, whilst fostering that beautiful sense of awe and wonder that children already

  • The Pre-school Room is always buzzing with energy as the children begin their first steps to mainstream education, getting ready to go to Reception at big school. There are opportunities to learn at every turn, including early reading and maths skills, mark-making, imaginative play and ICT, which are reinforced through what we call ‘purposeful play’. Activities and play experiences are planned to ensure each child is challenged and given a chance to learn and develop on an individual basis, whilst having lots of fun of course!

  • Pioneers is our Out of School and Holiday Club, providing children between the ages of 4-11 a fun and exciting environment to play and relax before and after school.
