My son has been attending puddleducks for 2 years now starting as a baby and will be starting school in September of 2026, he loves going to nursery everyday and seeing his friends and even his teachers. I can't thank them enough for what they have done for him as he's really come out of his shell also
with his learning and developmental milestones, they've been really good to him and if I've ever needed to ask a question or looked for advice the management team have always responded efficiently

My daughter attended this nursery from September 2024 to May 2025. We only changed nursery because we moved house. I have absolutely nothing negative to say, the staff are caring, kind and very professional. Hygiene and safety rules are well respected. She learned so much during her time there and
was very, very close to her teachers. Even now, although she no longer attends, she still talks about some of the staff, her classmates and other teachers. I would 100% recommend this nursery. Thank you for everything!

It's been a wonderful experience for my child. Although she only attended for two days, as a new arrival to the UK, she has already shown great improvement. We've seen a big change in her language skills and overall early childhood development. I'm truly thankful to the entire team at Puddleduck for
their care, patience, and support. We deeply appreciate everything you've done.

My son has been with Puddleducks for almost 3 years and throughout this time the staff have given him all the love and care we could hope for. My son has enjoyed his time at Puddleducks immensely and they've helped him develop by investing their time and effort directly into areas he struggled with.
They encourage a safe and fun environment where he could gain confidence and make friends. They were extremely understanding with his epilepsy and made sure they all trained to work with his condition so he could enjoy his time as much as possible.We'll miss them all very much now he's off to big school.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough from the food, teachings to the environment they have created.
The manager and team always try to accommodate all requests including staying later and dietary changes.

Management is attentive and on top of things providing support, reassurance and advice when appropriate which tells me what a great place this is. I wish he could have started sooner!
Staff provide appropriate feedback on collection and they are positive and reassuring and I enjoy reading about his daily routine.
I look forward to pictures of his activities.

My daughter attended Puddleducks Nursery New Southgate for just over nine months. The staff were absolutely incredible, welcoming, and friendly. Every morning, my daughter, with a smile on her face, was looking forward to going to nursery as she formed a very strong bond with all the staff. The staff
worked very hard to make the most of all learning opportunities. The nursery provided regular feedback and development updates. Overall, it was a very positive and pleasant experience for me and my daughter, and will honestly recommend the place. There is a very special and dedicated person who takes her job very seriously and shares her love and passion towards kids with all the members of the staff. Without a doubt, I felt confident to leave my baby under her watch.

My baby started here as soon as she turned 1, and I have to say even in the lead up to her start date there was so much support from the staff which made the transition seamless.

In just the couple of months she has been here already I can really see the progress of development and how much she loves
it there. She is so happy which makes us so content as we know she is in the best care.
Also, this was the only nursery in the area that was understanding of my work situation, and the manager made every effort to be so accommodating to work around it which I’m also so grateful for.
If you are looking for a home-from-home for your child as well as exceptional care and feeling like a true family, then look no further, Puddleducks North Finchley is exceptional and I would 100% recommend it.

My experience with Puddleducks Nursery has been amazing. My daughter has attended this nursery for the past 12 months and has experienced so much in such a small amount of time. The staff are brilliant at keeping the children entertained and show that they genuinely do care about the children they look
after. They give the parents daily updates on food, play, development, and toilet habits. My daughter gets so excited to go to nursery and she’s built some great bonds with the staff. My daughter has developed an awful lot since attending the nursery at just 9 months old. She’s built up a confidence to play with other children and interact with adults. Her development has also shown in speech, movement and play. And I believe a lot of that has been down to the staff’s brilliant teaching styles made fun through play. I highly recommend this nursery and would have kept my daughter there longer if we had not had to relocate. 10/10 from me!

I could not be happier with the childcare at Puddleducks. The staff are all very professional, caring attentive and fun with the children and have worked with us as parents to give our son care that is consistent with our values and what we do at home. They are also always focussing on the nest development
goals and we have seen our son come on leaps and bounds with them, in particular with his gross and fine motor and speaking skills. My son is always happy to go there and as a parent I also find them easy to work with on the admin side of things. I could not rate them any higher.

My daughter spent 2 years at Puddleducks and was very happy every time she went to spend time with her friends and teachers. Her favorite thing was the activities that were different every time, creative and educative also involved the kids doing everyday things like helping to cook cookies which she
really enjoyed.
The teachers care about the children and have a very special relationship with each of them.
The team was very understanding about various issues that arose and provided feasible solutions
