ABOUT
Welcome to the Lindale Muddy Boots website. Our preschool is located in the beautiful village of Lindale, on the outskirts of Grange-Over-Sands and in easy reach of the A590. We are a non-profit making preschool for children aged 2-4 years old and have been operating since 2001.
We are an independent preschool, sharing a site with the local primary school. Any children wishing to stay in Lindale after preschool, would experience a seamless transition into Lindale C of E Primary School.
As a small nursery we are able to create a family atmosphere, allowing children to settle in quickly. We aim to accommodate your child’s interests and provide fun, stimulating and exciting activities suited to your child’s development. We want every child to reach their full potential and to have as much fun as possible doing it!
We are able to offer care during term time from 7.45am until 5:30pm, Monday to Friday, as part of our partnership with Lindale school.
