Welcome to Muddy Toes

Muddy Toes Childcare is your ‘home away from home’, come and visit and see for yourself!
We have three locations; Warkworth, Red Beach and Stanmore bay where you can experience our unique forest based philosophy.

All children at Muddy Toes receive the best quality care and education with qualified, passionate and committed teachers and high teacher to child ratios throughout the day. Our children learn through risk taking and play. We take play back to the ‘old school days’ in order to gain well developed children who can give everything a go!

‘Forestry Philosophy’ let’s go on an adventure with you!
