Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We're delighted to hear that both you and your daughter have felt so welcome during her first few weeks with us. It means a great deal to know that she enjoys her time at nursery and feels happy and settled. Thank you for trusting us with her care, and we look forward to watching her continue to grow and thrive with us.

We love the setting too. Being based in an old house gives it a really cosy, homely feel. Our son especially loves being outside, whether that's exploring the nursery garden, visiting the local allotment or going to the park. There's always something interesting for the children to discover and get involved with.
The activities are great, from cooking and arts and crafts to imaginative play. We also love that the staff follow the children's own interests and ideas, which makes learning feel really natural and fun.
We couldn't be happier with the care he receives and are so grateful to the whole team. We'd happily recommend Ducklings to any parent.

I am so happy that our children attend this nursery. The support, care and range of activities are exceptional, with so much to do both indoors and outdoors. Our eldest talks endlessly about his day, and his happiness and excitement are so lovely to see. He really does come home having had the best day and he learns so much. He just thrives. Our youngest has only just started and has already settled in so well. There is so much for her to do aswell. We feel so lucky that both our children are cared for in such a nurturing, supportive and stimulating environment. Nothing is too much to ask of staff. We feel like each member of staff has genuinely taken the time to know our children - and us - and the care that they receive there is immeasurable. We couldn't recommend this nursery more highly!

My daughter has been attending Ducklings since April 2025, starting in the baby room, toddlers and now preschool. We would 100% recommend this nursery, all the staff are professional, caring and friendly. The nursery has great space for playing and outdoor area is fab too including forest schools, trips to the park and their allotment, they are outdoors most days come rain or shine. They keep us up to date with food menu and activities with pictures during the day on the app, which i love. Also the nursery is always very clean. My daughter enjoys going and will be sending baby number 2 next year!

Serious safeguarding concerns
Significant staff turnover - in just the last month, three members of staff left my child's room.
Security concerns - adults are permitted to enter the nursery without being asked for identification.
Repeated requests for parents to collect children early during hot weather - the nursery becomes excessively hot, yet parents are repeatedly expected to collect their children early rather than a meaningful solution being put in place. There appeared to be no effective resolution from the Director.
Resources are old and worn.
The garden area is unstimulating for the children.
I want to be clear that the staff themselves have been caring and have, at every point, tried to rectify issues where they could. I have genuinely felt sorry for them having to work during the hot weather.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry that your experience did not reflect the high standards we strive to provide.

Our son has been attending Duckings Day nursery since May 25, he was only 9 months old when he started doing a few days a week and we were a little worried about him starting so young. But he absolutely loves being at nursery and we feel it has helped his development even in these early stages. All the staff have been so helpful and welcoming , and supportive in making us feel at ease. He has a brilliant relationship with the staff he sees regularly and is always so happy to see them. This is a fantastic nursery and we are delighted that our son enjoys it and is in such good hands. Many thanks to all the staff involved.

We would 100% recommend Ducklings! We looked around a few nursery's before making our decision and we know we definitely made the right one. Staff go above and beyond and our son loves going there. We know he is safe and learning in a supportive environment. Our son has additional needs and he has made such amazing progress since coming to Ducklings. When looking around, this was the first nursery to listen to our concerns and asked what they need to put in place to help him.

Due to it being in a big house it has a real family feel about it. The outdoor space is also amazing for the children and my son particularly enjoys spending most of his time out there!
They always keep parents up to date with children's activities and progress through the app. Additionally they also put on lots of events for the children to attend.
They are also really catering towards my sons food allergies. Always offering him great alternatives for breakfast snacks and lunch.
Overall I have been really impressed with this nursery and would definitely recommend it.

Fantastic staff always highly professional and caring both to children, parents and grandparents. Food menus are always displayed on the outside door so you can easily see what the children are eating daily and the menus are always balanced and well planned.

Our daughter loves attending Ducklings Day Nursery and it has been lovely to see her confidence flourish during her time there. The facilities are great, particularly the outdoor space and allotment, and we are excited about the new addition of forest schools activities.

Excellent nursery with very caring staff. I feel that my little one is in safe hands in the baby room. The admin side is excellent too, we like the updates but the staff concentrate more on the children than updating 'too much'.

I am always given updates and it's lovely to see them going on walks and to trips. The sea life centre trip, will be amazing.

So happy with Ducklings. The staff are all so friendly and understanding. My little girl sometimes struggles with her emotions and everyone is so patient and understanding with her. She learns so much and always comes away happy. Would 100 percent recommend.
