I am disappointed with the communication from this nursery. I called several times to check availability for my son, and on three different occasions someone took all my details and assured me I would receive a call back. Unfortunately, I never received any follow-up. This lack of response makes it very difficult for parents who are trying to plan childcare. Better communication and timely updates are definitely needed.

We selected Muddy Boots as the nursery for our child, who is soon turning 3. She started at Muddy Boots when she had just turned 1. In that time, we've seen her love coming to nursery and enjoying her time there. The staff are all extremely friendly, and the management team are extremely approachable. You can tell the hygiene standards and infection control standards are really high in the premises, and it fills us with great confidence that our daughter is kept safe in this respect. They take safeguarding seriously and that also fills us with great reassurance that she's kept safe at the nursery. We've found the management team extremely flexible and adaptable with timings, and short notice. A lot of other nurseries don't do this, and this makes Muddy Boots really exceptional. We really appreciate the support and flexibility they give us. They also throw amazing parties for the rest of the family to join in, continuously encouraging families to get involved. Thank you Muddy Boots!
