Muddy Footprints

Muddy Footprints is a predominantly outdoor facility set in the beautiful surroundings in Garston adventure Playground. We also have a building with an indoor space which children also use during high winds/large rain pours or when they chose to do so. 

We embed a strong outdoor curriculum following the wanderlust nature study. We are currently working towards the hygge accreditation which is incorporating a Danish approach to education. This is focusing on a relaxed atmosphere where staff are present with children whilst connecting with and investigating nature. 

We also have a strong focus on children's well being, we include daily yoga/relaxation sessions. We are giving children the tools they need to eventually be able to regulate their own emotions. 

We are an inclusive setting and have experience working with children with a variety of special educational needs and disabilities such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder, downs syndrome and challenging behaviour. We have a highly qualified team and use sensory integration plans with the children during their day at our setting. 

We are a Makaton friendly setting and use/teach sign language with the children daily.
