Learning beyond the classroom
Our nurseries are safe, homely spaces that promote discussion, exploration and children’s interests through carefully selected, open ended and stimulating resources. Accessing the outdoors is a huge value for us at Muddy Boots. We want to provide children with opportunities that will fill their minds with concepts and memorable experiences. We let imaginations run wild inside and outside of the classroom!

Our Impact, As Told by Parents
Thank you for your kind words
I could not be happier with the care that my daughter gets from Muddy Boots. All the staff are welcoming and approachable. My daughter always comes home happy and the photos I see of her at nursery prove this. There are always engaging activities set up and the children are always going for educational walks!
Muddy Boots could not have been a better choice for our little girl. She thoroughly enjoys her days at nursery, the staff are just wonderfully patient and attentive and the outdoors ethos is fantastic! If you are considering muddy boots for your little one, do not hesitate, it is the best decision we have made for her wellbeing and development.
I can't recommend Muddy Boots and all the team enough, they are amazing! I was so anxious about sending my little one to nursery and as soon as I met the team, I was positive this was the right setting for my little one. Not only has their care for my little girl been fab, they look after me and my feelings too! Don't hesitate to sign your little one up!
I highly recommend Muddy boots hamworthy, when my son first started he was a very anxious shy boy and he really came out of himself since going here. They have helped him come along way, he has speech delay and they have been so supportive. The team are amazing and they do so much with the children, always off for amazing walks and adventures.
Her confidence and speech has grown massively. The girls at the nursery are brilliant, my daughter has a special bond with each one of them. They are all amazing. They regularly go on walks through the woods which is my daughter’s favourite bit. They offer seasonal family fun days which is a great way to develop relationships with her teachers.
Amazing nursery, have highly recommended to my friends for their little ones. The communication is brilliant, my daughter loves all the staff, she feels safe and cared for and all the staff are obviously very well trained and skilled. They focus on the children's own unique likes and dislikes with play and learning whilst promoting independence.
