We were a bit apprehensive at the start given the location of the nursery, but after deciding to take the gamble we couldn't be more surprised! Our little angel has grown so much in the last couple of months with Muddy Puddle! The attention and engagement he gets is helping him catch up with some delayed
milestones. Highly recommend!

Being the first interaction of my daughter outside her home, Muddy Puddle Nursery have been very supportive with her well-being and learning. It is great for parents to interact with children at their place of learning and that's one of the activities Muddy Puddles have which is fantastic.

I have always found the staff very warm and friendly. They love my son and care for his wellbeing. I was impressed by the manager's knowledge in terms of learning and how she runs her nursery. This gives me confidence in sending my son there.

Muddy Puddle is one of the best nurseries in Catford. Firstly, let me start from the nursery founder; she's very accommodating, loyal, caring, a good mother and she has a listening ear. All the teachers in Muddy Puddle Nursery are well-trained and care for the students. Anytime I went to the nursery,
they're always working together with love and harmony. I would like to recommend this nursery to all parents in Lewisham and Greenwich boroughs, take your kids there, you will never regret it. Thanks.

My experience with Muddy Puddle Nursery has been wholesome. My daughter enjoys going to nursery and their teaching has helped to develop her in every aspect. My daughter's level of communication is fantastic and excellent. Enrolling her into this nursery has been my greatest decision and it is value
for money.

The team at Muddy Puddles first met my son at 4 months during our search for a nursery and within 5 minutes we knew this is where he would spend his early years. He started at 9 months old and they have watched him grow with us and helped towards his learning and happiness. My son absolutely loves the
staff and other children there and it's a literally home and family away from home.

We have had a great experience with Muddy Puddle. The staff members are warm, hands-on with the kids. The staff engages with the kids, with stimulating games and nursery rhymes.
My son is always excited to go to the nursery, as he has a good time always.

The nursery is very good, and I have seen improvements and development changes in my child. Staff are very friendly, and polite. They keep you informed about all activities and developments in your child.
Nursery premises are safe for kids, and also has a lovely garden where the kids can play around.
The
nursery is very clean, and set up very nice ready for the children to learn and play.

Small but convenient setting, not overcrowded and my little one has space to play and share. The baby room is cosy, suitable flooring with foam and sleep area separate to play space. My little one settled really quickly. Being a sceptical mom about nurseries, I'm really at ease now with him being at
this nursery, in comparison to a few I've viewed and am familiar with.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.754)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.754) out of 10 for Muddy Puddle Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.754 for Muddy Puddle Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (109 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.754

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Muddy Puddle Nursery is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 35 number of registered child places is 7, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
