In Spring 2021, YMCA Norfolk opened Muddy Puddles, an Ofsted-registered nursery, mirroring YMCA’s all over the country as the leading provider of childcare in the voluntary sector. Muddy Puddles is based at our brand-new multi-service community centre on Aylsham road, also featuring Williams’ Kitchen café and Explorers Soft Play centre.

Our approach to Childcare

The Muddy Puddles nursery team are passionate about offering a positive environment where all children feel secure and valued. We believe in promoting each child’s strengths and helping them love themselves and others, in all their difference. We encourage children to be curious and adventurous in their play and learning so they grow an appreciation of the world around them and feel ready for the transition to school when the time comes.

Our nursery provides a tailored childcare setting that creates a safe, empowering, interactive environment for its learners. Our Ofsted registered childcare provision offers bespoke education to each child, through a positive reinforcement approach to early years development. Our staff and key workers take a nurturing approach to nursery learners, enhancing their self-esteem and emotional resilience; providing the very best culture and learning environment for all children.

Muddy Puddles also includes:

  • Places from 2 months to 5-years- old
  • 15 and 30 hours government funded places
  • A large outdoor play area including a forest school
  • Highly qualified and experienced staff
  • A nutritious, home-cooked meal every day available to all children
  • A family ethos ensuring children feel safe, secure and valued
