Meet the owners
Back in 2011, our owners Andy & Anna found themselves running 3 weekly Parent and toddler groups in the Acomb area of York. The groups were thriving, but talking to the families, it became apparent that there was a real need for great childcare in the area.
At a similar time, they were approached by the owners of a small preschool, who had opened in Poppleton Business Park, but had decided it wasn’t for them. That setting quickly became the first Muddy Boots Nursery, which over 10 years has grown to four flourishing settings.
This has largely been due to their combined passions, Andy bringing a laser focus on finances, growth, and business development, and Anna constantly developing our environments and exceptional childcare.
Outside of the world of nurseries, Andy & Anna also help lead a local church and charity, all alongside their four children.
