    We stumbled across it when visiting the soft playtime next door and loved the wigwams and outside nature of the place along, with the large space in the rooms. Other nurseries sense cluttered and cramped but this one doesn’t at all. It’s so spotless and just has a lovely overall cheerful sense. My kid is consistently excited when going to childcare centre and if there have ever been any incidents, the childcare centre dealt with it fantastically. They recently had the fire brigade in to go over fire safety and show the use of the fire equipment. They are consistently doing a enjoyable activity and we get regular updates on our kids. The team are welcoming and welcoming and I’m excited for my second and last kid to attend soon. Sadly our journey is nearly over for our first and it’s off to school we go but I look back at his time at Muddy Puddles with lots of happiness, a few tears of emotion and feeling highly cheerful with where we sent him. Thanks guys. We were the originals that started with Muddy Puddles upon opening.

    All the team at Muddy Puddles have been incredible in helping her with her speech and gaining her self‑assurance ready for school. She has become a non-stop chatterbox with so much energy to do things with other kids. She absolutely adores the childcare centre, and I know she will miss it highly much. Thank you to you all. My kid was highly behind on her talking and exceptionally shy due to Covid and not having a lot of interaction with other kids.

    Every single team member has been incredibly compassionate, welcoming, skilled and highly attentive at every step of the way. The ladies are so compassionate, well‑informed and easy to talk to! Each room my daughter has been a part of has met her age-appropriate development needs including physical, social and academic needs. As a primary school teacher myself, it’s reassuring to know my daughter is in excellent hands when I’m at work! My daughter has been going to Muddy Puddles for two years and I honestly couldn’t suggest them highly enough.

    Your efforts with our kid are really appreciated!

    The childcare centre have an app that allows us to keep an eye from the moment they are dropped off in the childcare centre and even include their discovering achievements. They have clubs provided by external providers and have already started a reading log for my toddler.

    They are a excellent group of team members and I have been incredibly impressed with the level of care and assistance received.

    Last but not least, thank you to the owner and director of the childcare centre for being with us from the beginning and easing us into this process. The childcare centre was chosen out of 6/7 nurseries in the area and I’m glad I chose Muddy Puddles.

    Our kid now goes into childcare centre without crying and orders her grandma to ‘go back to childcare centre’ when she’s picked up so they are clearly doing something right! I wanted to take some time to pass on our thanks to all the team at the childcare centre.

    Team are supportive and attentive all the time. Our son developed highly much from when he started childcare centre. We are highly cheerful that we choose the Muddy Puddles Childcare centre. Our son’s journey at the childcare centre is outstanding.

    They have supported him in integrating into the social group within the setting, but they have also allowed him the space to flourish independently. This was important for us as it meant his unique personality shone through.
    The team have also been supportive and sensitive to my husband and I’s scheduling issues, between lengthy shift work and full-time studying. We are exceptionally grateful they have been so accommodating. The whole team at Muddle Puddles have created a nurturing and enjoyable setting which our son has enjoyed attending.
