Muddy Boots at the Bungalow

from A G (Mother of Child) published on 18 February 2025

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Nice nursery, especially the welcoming indoor setup, the cleanliness, the engaging activities, and the emphasis on spending time outdoors. The staff members are always kind and caring, which we truly appreciate. However, we have noticed a high staff turnover, which can sometimes be a bit unsettling
for the children as they build relationships with their caregivers. We understand that staffing challenges exist, but we hope there is a way to bring more stability to the team.
It would be nice to have more lightning as it's hard to see when going to the building especially at pick up in winter time. The car park gets a bit flooded when it rains.

Reply from Jess Robertson, Social Media Coordinator at Muddy Boots at the Bungalow

Thank you so much for your feedback! We're pleased to hear that you appreciate our welcoming environment, engaging activities, and the care our team provides. Creating a safe, fun, and nurturing space for children is so important to us. We understand your concerns about staff turnover. While some changes are unavoidable, we're always working to keep our team as consistent as possible to support the children's relationships and routines. We also really appreciate your comments about the lighting and the car park. We know how tricky winter pick-ups can be and will look into improving this.

Both of my children attend Muddy Boots at the market and we would very highly recommend. All the staff are friendly, caring, attentive and hugely supportive of both children and parents.
The nursery offers a stimulating and joyful learning experience with an array of activities for all ages to help
engage and encourage.
Staff are great with their communication and we get updates daily on how our children have got on with their day. Both of my children consider the nursery a safe space which to me is priceless.

Both my daughters love nursery and adore everyone there who cares for them. They've thrived since starting and have gained so much confidence. Three staff members especially have worked closely with my eldest to help her express and process her emotions. I wholeheartedly trust that my babies are being
looked after exceptionally while they're not with me and are in the care of the wonderful staff at Muddy Boots. I've had the girl's autumn reports and I couldn't be prouder of how well they're doing and know that it's down to the efforts of all the ladies working with them.

Reply from Jess Robertson, Social Media Coordinator at Muddy Boots at the Market

Thank you so much for your kind words! It's wonderful to hear how much your daughters love their time at Muddy Boots and how they've grown in confidence. It's lovely to hear that our team has been able to support your eldest with her emotions, helping children thrive is what we love to do! Your lovely feedback will really make the team's day, thank you for taking the time to share this!

I am very pleased with the overall experience my son has at nursery. Attending nursery has enhanced his social skills and he often tells me about the friends he plays with. I love seeing photos of the activities he's taken part in on the app, and there's always a range of different activities available
which enhances so many different skills whether it's fine motor, pencil control or maths for example. He never has a bad day at nursery, and they always spend some time outside which my son loves - he loves playing in mud or running around with a big stick! The additional Spanish classes provided I think are an excellent way of introducing different languages and cultures to children at a young age, and hopefully sets him up for a life of curiosity and an eagerness to explore the world. Recently at Christmas, he was given a book as a Christmas present which was extremely thoughtful, especially as he loves reading and bedtime stories.

Reply from Jess Robertson, Social Media Coordinator at Muddy Boots at the Bungalow

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It's fantastic to hear how much your son enjoys his time at nursery, from making friends to exploring the outdoors. We love that he embraces messy play and outdoor adventures-running around with a big stick sounds like so much fun! It's also great to know you appreciate the Spanish classes and the introduction to different languages and cultures, we appreciate all feedback so it's great to hear your thoughts on any extra-curricular we provide. Your kind words mean so much to our team-thank you!

Muddy Boots at the Bungalow

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5

My child has attended this nursery since April 2024. The general facilities and cleanliness is very good and my child has always come home happy and is learning at a good rate. However there are areas where this nursery needs to improve, mainly with staff, the nursery staff are not very talkative to
parents when picking and dropping off your children. The staff no longer allow you in the room to drop and collect your child so you are in a small area where everyone can hear your conversations and there is a general lack of privacy and sensitive conversations are not private at all. Staff also forgot to give medication back at end of the day. The staff of a nursery are very important to the children and parents who build up relationships so it is a shame. Overall this nursery is excellent for learning has good facilities and very clean. I would recommend this nursery as I feel although there is room for improvement the general qualities are good and the faults can be easy improved.

Reply from Jess Robertson, Social Media Coordinator at Muddy Boots at the Bungalow

Thank you for your honest feedback. We're so pleased to hear that your child is happy, learning well and that you value our facilities and cleanliness. That means a lot to us! We also really appreciate you highlighting areas where we can improve. Building strong relationships with parents is very important to us, so we will take your comments on board. We understand how essential these aspects are and will look at ways to improve the experience at drop-off and pick-up. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us provide the best experience for both children and parents, thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Our son has been attending Muddy Boots at the market since September 2022 and although it took him a while to settle in, he absolutely loves it there now. The staff treat him as one of their own and have been so supportive of him and helping him grow. They are always creating different and exciting
learning environments for the children and our son has grown massively in confidence and ability since he joined. Would highly recommended it.

Muddy Boots have provided excellent support to both of my children, encouraged their development and provided emotional support for my more anxious child when needed. The staff are wonderful and the manager is always happy to help if I have any queries or issues. The children get a really good amount
of time outside playing which I love!

Muddy Boots is absolutely exemplary. The staff there care deeply about the children and get to know them like their own. They are flexible and helpful, I have never been shamed about forgetting a sunhat or coat even though I'm terrible at it. They make every effort to accommodate day changes when needed.
They've been helpful and supportive when our younger child had to exclude dairy from their diet.
The activities they arrange for the kids are inventive, and connected to seasons and cultures. I was deeply impressed when they began teaching about diversity and inclusion when my older child (no longer there) was only about 4. They did so in an accessible, positive way.
The children spend an enormous amount of time outdoors, all year round when possible. They utilise local resources like the farm and the arboretum.
My younger child loves her time there, and my older child still reminisces about it fondly. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Reply from Jess Robertson, Family Liaison Advisor at Muddy Boots at the Farm

Lovely caring nursery with a focus on spending time outdoors. We were really happy with the nursery we used for our older child but went for Muddy Boots instead for our youngest because she loves being outside. At first, she would cry when we dropped her off but now she is really keen to get there.
When she had her settling sessions I got a chance to chat with the team there who are kind, sensible and dedicated. Compared to other nurseries, Muddy Boots is extremely calm- the children and staff are more relaxed. Some nurseries can be very noisy and it can feel quite overwhelming, but because of the good space indoors and outdoors, it feels peaceful. We get good communications during the day, there is an app and we get pictures and an 'observation'. I also like the location - lots of parking and I can nip into the local town if I need anything!

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear that your daughter has settled in and is now excited to come to Muddy Boots each day.

It's great to hear feedback on our parent app as we are passionate in creating strong parent partnerships. Your kind review means a lot to us, and we're thrilled to have your family as part of our community!
