Muddy Puddles is a wonderful place for kids to learn, play and enjoy new experiences. My daughter has been going for 3 years and enjoyed it since day one. Each room has been a wonderful experience and she has grown so much since starting her nursery journey. The best part about Muddy Puddles is the staff, who are wonderful. They are caring, kind and very professional, so I know my little one will always be well looked after. The kids are also served healthy meals each day, plus snacks and alternatives are provided. My daughter has enjoyed being at Muddy Puddles so much that I have no hesitation in sending my youngest there soon. It's fantastic!

Muddy Puddles is the most wonderful nursery! Our daughter joined in February at 8 months old and loves attending twice a week. She kicks her legs with excitement and holds her arms out to staff when we drop her off which is lovely to see. We visited quite a few nurseries before deciding on one and Muddy Puddles stood out by far. The staff are so friendly, kind and caring - even at the end of a long day they seem upbeat, positive and are always happy to discuss the day. The handovers, in person and on the app, are helpful and reassuring for us. When we had a tour the facilities were very impressive too! We are so happy our daughter is at Muddy Puddles and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery. Thank you so much to everyone at Muddy Puddles for the amazing job you do!

The nursery is very clean and well equipped, the staff are kind and compassionate and the activities are engaging and fun. My daughter's activities and progress are very well communicated in person and via the app, and the team are always open to discussing anything we want to ask about. We feel lucky to have found a safe, engaging and reliable nursery that is just a short walk away.

Fantastic nursery setting, the staff are caring, kind and exceptionally tolerant. Children and parents are greeted with a smile every day and children are treated with great respect. Staff listen to parents' concerns, act on them and keep parents well informed. There is a constant can-do attitude from everyone, and I feel safe and relaxed leaving my toddler there. I know if I have worries or if staff have concerns, everything is met with a high sense of importance. We couldn't be happier with our child's daycare. It doesn't feel like a business or money-focused, it feels exactly how it should, a place where children can thrive.

We've had an incredibly positive experience with Muddy Puddles Nursery. The staff's high level of involvement with the children is truly commendable. Our son always comes home happy and smiling, which shows us the lovely environment they provide. What stands out for us is the diverse range of activities offered. Each activity seems to have a purpose, contributing to our son's overall learning and development. It's reassuring to see the dedication to not just childcare but also education. The friendly and caring attitude towards our son has made a significant impact on his development and confidence. We appreciate Muddy Puddles for creating a space where children not only feel comfortable but also engage in meaningful learning experiences. We highly recommend this nursery to other parents looking for a warm and enriching environment for their little ones.

I am very happy with the way my child tells me all about her teacher at nursery and how they take care of her. I always tell my friends about the nursery and I hope my child will be happy when she goes to reception in September.

My little boy has been attending since he was 10 months he is now 3 and a half. He absolutely loves attending and is super excited on nursery days. His confidence has grown so much. He does so much and can’t wait to tell me what he’s learnt that day. From story time, singing and dancing to counting and learning the alphabet and outside play, yoga and even meditation I’m not sure how they fit it all in. I love how the app keeps us updated and you get a theme of the week and a snapshot of what your little one has been up to. The staff work so hard and are always super friendly and helpful no matter how busy they are I really do have so much to thank them for. My little boy talks about how much he likes them all so much I’m so grateful for the amazing start to the education they have given him I’ll be so sad when he has to leave to go to school in September. Thank you to the Muddy Puddles team you are amazing.

Muddy Puddles is a fantastic nursery with wonderful, caring staff. Our 18-month-old daughter has settled in brilliantly and loves her time there. We have used Muddy Puddles previously between 2020-2022 for our now school-age daughter and she also loved it and was always excited to go. Great communication and always helpful with any questions.

Muddy Puddles is such a lovely nursery. My son has been attending since he was 9 months old and he loves it there. The building is modern and feels light and bright, the outside space is a good size with lots of things for the children to do. Most importantly the staff are brilliant, they are child-centred and focused on each child's needs, and they communicate well with us parents, which is so reassuring as a first-time mum. And it's very reasonably prized compared to a lot of other nurseries! Would recommend Muddy Puddles to anyone.

I feel very proud as a mother that my daughter got a place at this nursery and wouldn’t have gone anywhere else. The staff are fantastic and so attentive and we couldn't ask for better care. The team are simply outstanding with the work they do. They work extremely hard and always give 110 per cent. My daughter absolutely loves going to Muddy Puddles and runs to the door when we drop her off. Her knowledge amazes me with the things she has learnt and also the confidence she has especially with other children. She has engaged so much and really does love her sessions. The nursery is immaculately clean and very well looked after by the staff. Overall 10/10 and couldn’t be more happier with our choice. I can confidently add that the reputation is very very good, I have heard nothing but praise for this nursery. Thank you to all the staff for all you do!

Day one our child was crying and didn't want to leave us when going to nursery. 3 months later she now loves it. No tears when she gets dropped off, runs open armed to the staff. We have built up loads of trust with this nursery and can highly recommend it to others. Very clean and modern facilities. Staff all very knowledgeable, professional and kind. The app keeps us updated throughout the day too which is a nice feature. Spoken to other parents using them and all are very happy with the service. It feels like an educational and development facility rather than just childcare which is great for us.

My daughter loves this nursery, we feel that she is very safe and well looked after by the staff. The building is relatively new and is kept in good condition. And each day she comes home to tell us the varied activities they get up to.

We've had our 3-year-old son attending this nursery for around 2 years now, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. The staff is incredibly warm and welcoming, creating a safe and nurturing environment for the kids. They offer a wide range of activities that are both educational and fun, ensuring that the children are engaged and learning new things daily. The communication from the nursery is excellent; they provide regular updates on our son's progress and are always available to discuss any concerns or questions we might have. The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and perfectly suited for little explorers. Most importantly, our son loves going to nursery every day, which speaks volumes about the positive experience he's having. We highly recommend this nursery to any parents looking for a caring, educational, and fun place for their child.

My son has been attending Muddy Puddles since September 2023. When we came for an induction, we just knew it was the right nursery for him after viewing many others in Norwich. All the staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and really care for each individual child. He absolutely loves it there and always comes out with a huge smile on his face so we know he’s had a good day. Staff always update the parent app on a daily basis so we know what was for lunch etc. We both attended the Christmas evening back in December after the nursery was shut which involved lots of different arts and crafts - which was a lovely touch to meet other parents/children of the nursery. Also, attended my son’s first parents' evening last week which was very useful in understanding in more detail how he is progressing.

Our little boy joined Muddy Puddles when it first opened and joined the baby room. He then went into 2-3s and is now in pre-school. We’ve always felt so happy and confident with each room and staff. We have had nothing but a positive experience throughout these years and have watched our little boy grow into a kind and confident little boy. The staff go above and beyond and always welcome the children and parents with a smile each morning and always have time to talk and give us information on our child’s day. My son talks about staff every day and can’t wait to come to play and learn! Muddy Puddles is a wonderful setting with an amazing range of resources for the children to explore with a lovely natural outside area. Thank you Muddy Puddles!

My daughter absolutely loves this nursery, she’s attended since she was just over a year old and she is so happy in the red welly room! They offer a really wide range of activities including loads of outside time, which is so important. They are really good at communicating through the app and I feel like I know where she is developmentally. The new building is lovely and light and all of the staff are so friendly. I would absolutely recommend this nursery to anyone!

Our son absolutely loves Muddy Puddles! He runs in every morning and doesn’t look back, and is absolutely full of beans when we pick him up. He seems to have great relationships with the staff and children and we love the weekly updates on the app too. Lucky to have a soft play area too. Thanks to all the staff at Muddy Puddles!

My daughter absolutely loves attending this nursery. All staff are very friendly and helpful. My daughter has learnt so much from attending this nursery, and I love the app they use so we get updates on how they are doing, what they have eaten etc, they also send you photos of your own child.
