Welcome to the YMCA family

Why choose YMCA?

Muddy Puddles Nursery is part of YMCA Norfolk; your local branch of the national YMCA movement. As a charity, we strive to make a difference to lives of young people and families all over the county. This includes being a part of one of the largest providers of childcare across the UK, in which YMCA nurseries are recognised for both their commitment to childcare and their positive impact on the local community.

Similar to our fellow YMCA childcare provisions across the country, we promise to go above and beyond to ensure all children are provided with a safe and caring environment in which they can develop into confident and empowered young people.

We offer a chance to become part of something bigger: part of the YMCA family, in the heart of your local community.

Our Mission

We believe every family should have the support they need to develop fulfilling lives; which includes offering children a secure environment in which they can grow, learn and develop. Our childcare practice is delivered by a committed team that ensures your child has the best chance of reaching their full potential.

We strive to always put the needs of your child first and to ensure that your child is individually challenged through play and learning. Each and every day we aim to support your child to develop creativity, become confident in who they are, and appreciate the community within which they live.

Our Values

We are a value-driven organisation centred around three primary values; hope-filled, inspiring and empowering. We strive to embed these values into each and every activity, provision and policy across our organisation: 

Hope-filled

Positive about people and releasing their futures; We believe that everyone has equal value and huge potential no matter their past background or current circumstances.

Inspiring

A catalyst for transformation; We believe that every person deserves to have positive role models who will stand alongside them, believe in them and inspire them to achieve physical, emotional and spiritual health.

Empowering

Acting as a launch pad; We believe that by providing people with the appropriate tools and support, we will empower them to create and build their future.
