Finding a job you love can be really tough. In fact, it’s really easy to end up settling for second best, getting through your 9-5 in a workplace where you feel undervalued and not able to use your unique strengths to make a difference, just to earn your wage and get to the weekend.
At Muddy Boots, we believe that shouldn’t be the case

Pay at Muddy Boots
---
At Muddy Boots, we aspire to be the most sought after nurseries in Yorkshire, not just for families, but for staff as well. Part of that is paying wages that compete in the sector, and are on a level that reflects the incredible job we do every day.
4 Day Work Week
---
You may have heard, four days is the new five! It’s no news to us, because our full-time team members have always worked over four days rather than five, ensuring every one has an extra day of rest and relaxation every week!
Holiday Days
---
We believe time off is essential, so ensure all our team have ample holiday days to enjoy (28 per year for a full-time role). We also reward long-standing team members with extra holiday days – starting at 2 years served
Maternity Pay
---
We are all about family, especially our teams! We now offer enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental leave pay for all team members after 2 years of continuous service
Staff Discount
---
We are all about family… especially yours! If you have a little one yourself, we discount their nursery place so they can come to work with you without the full financial pressure
Team Happiness
---
Team happiness is absolutely key to us! So key in fact, that we have incorporated a system called Friday Pulse into our weekly life at Muddy Boots.
Every Friday our entire team get the opportunity to share their happiness level, as well as thanks, frustrations, celebrations and ideas, all via the click of a few buttons on their phone. That information is then gathered up and discussed by the teams each week, working together to solve issues that are causing unhappiness, and creating a Muddy Boots which is the best possible place to work for everyone who calls it home.
Study & Development
---
At Muddy Boots we will fund your study to get you to the next level of qualification. We believe in ‘constantly learning’ – and want to give everyone the opportunity to do so!
Food & Drinks
---
One thing you need working with young children is energy, and an abundance of it! To keep you topped up and fully fuelled throughout the day, anyone can order a free hot lunch (or cold tea) prepared fresh by our on-site chef, as well as snacks, tea and coffee available throughout the day.
