About this day nursery

Muddy Boots Morley is a nursery nestled in Leeds, just five miles west of the city centre, offering a nurturing and stimulating environment for children from infancy through to their early primary school years. The nursery provides dedicated rooms tailored to different age groups, each designed to foster development through play and exploration.

The Discoverers Room caters to the youngest babies, ensuring a homely and stimulating space for sensory learning. As children grow, they transition to the Adventurers Room, where independence and curiosity are encouraged through engaging activities.

The Investigators Room focuses on developing social skills and a sense of wonder through group activities and rich resources.

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff swiftly identify when children need further support for their learning or development. They work in close partnership with parents and other health professionals to develop strategies to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff and leaders regularly review the plans for supporting children with SEND and use additional funding to provide sensory resources or individual support, ensuring children with SEND continue to achieve well.

Outdoor space

Staff ensure that children of all ages receive daily experiences for outdoor play. The outdoor area is planned well so that children receive opportunities to learn how to climb, balance and move in different ways. This supports them to develop their large-muscle skills and coordination.

Both my children have attended Muddy Boots and we couldn't have had a better experience. Both kids have loved all their key workers through the years and all the staff they've spent time with, the staff are caring and really get to know each child individually. I reccomend Muddy Boots to everyone looking for a nursery

My son started at Kaleidoscope 2 years ago and has just left due to him starting school in September. I was nervous about him started due to him being shy and slightly clingy but the girls in his room made him feel welcome and at ease which made him settle in no time. He has grown so much in confidence and I can’t thank Kaleidoscope enough for bringing him out of his shell. I would highly recommend them as a setting to any other parent. He is really going to miss everyone there. Thank you to all Kaleidoscope staff

When we first moved to Morley, 3 years ago we had our pick of nurseries. I went and visited 4 in the local area and not one of them gave me butterflies like Kaleidoscope did. They are warm, friendly, caring and compassionate and for my two, it really has been like a home away from home. The girls worked tirelessly to help me settle both my clingy boys in, and in the end they both absolutely adore their key workers. Some things money just can't buy, and good childcare is one but they are extremely good value to match the service. I would recommend them to the end.
