At Muddy Puddles you will find a home away from home. We are a small childcare setting with a maximum of 15 children per day, so you can rest assured that your child will get the care and attention they deserve.
The nursery is set in 100 acres of countryside so fresh air is always on the menu and our single storey converted barn offers the perfect environment for your child to learn and play, with free flow access to our outdoor facilities at all times.
Muddy Puddles is managed by Heather and Zoe, who have many years of childcare experience between them. They are well qualified, and most importantly know how important it is to provide a caring and nurturing environment for your child.
At Muddy Puddles we believe that children learn through play and with this in mind we use natural resources such as wooden blocks, sand, water, soil and mud. We follow Government guidance and encourage progress using the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Research shows that preschool development of communication and language skills is important to later achievement, as is developing a good “learning disposition”. We therefore spend time talking, particularly at mealtimes, where we all eat together. We also encourage children to be co-operative, sharing, show perseverance and resilience, all of which is important to their ongoing development. Fundamentally though, we want your child to enjoy their time with us, make friends, be safe and be happy!
