Review from Bethany D (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with Puddleducks! From the very beginning, the staff have been incredibly welcoming, caring, and attentive. It's clear that they genuinely love what they do, and that really shows in the way they interact with the children.
Aunty Natalie and my daughter's relationship is so special
and I am beyond grateful. The team go above and beyond to make both children and parents feel comfortable and supported.
The environment is bright, safe, and full of engaging activities that support learning through play. My daughter has grown in confidence so much since starting here, and it's lovely to see how excited they are to go in each day.
We're so grateful to have found such a nurturing and positive place. We would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a caring and stimulating environment for their child
Reply from Julie Comer, Deputy Manager at Puddleducks Childrens NurseryThank you so much for taking the time out to leave such a lovely review. This will be shared with our team.

Review from Matt L (Father of Child) published on 24 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy has been attending puddleducks for 9 months now and he loves his days in nursery. He gets to take part in craft projects which sometimes produce something to bring home for me and his mum amd he gets to do wet play or messy play which is great as its not so easy to do at home if we cant
go outside due to the weather. Staff are very friendly and always wish his parents or grandparents a lovely day when dropping off or picking him up. Learning/development targets are set to ensure that he is developing and learning. The cook makes lots of healthy scratch made meals. But the biggest praise that I can give is that my son loves to be there.
Reply from Clare Wilson, Manager at Puddleducks Childrens NurseryThank you Matt for taking the time to write a review for us. I have shared this with the girls and they are very pleased.

Review from Georgie H (Mother of Child) published on 24 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is such a lovely and caring nursery for our children. Our child can be anxious and uncertain and the staff have been so friendly and supportive. She loves her aunties and looks forward to attending school. Her transitions through the rooms (baby room, toddler room and now starting pre school) has
been gradual and sry at her pace. They really respond to the needs of the child which helps so much when they know them so well.
We have now got our youngest attending in the baby room and he's settling so well too. They have opportunities to see each other too which is lovely.
I can't recommend them enough!
Reply from Clare Wilson, Manager at Puddleducks Childrens NurseryThank you so much Georgie for the lovely review. We appreciate you taking the time.

Review from Eloise F (Mother of Child) published on 24 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We chose this nursery for our son because our daughter attended before him and had such a positive experience. It felt like the natural choice for our family.
Our son goes in happy every day and comes home happy, which says a lot about the caring and welcoming environment the staff create. He enjoys
engaging in the fun activities and we love that the learning is child-led and based around play.
The team take wonderful care of him and clearly know him well as an individual. They always share what he has done during the day and what he has eaten, which helps us feel connected to his time at nursery.
We also appreciate how they interact with families through the parent Haslingden social media page, commenting on and liking photos shared from home. It's lovely to see the genuine interest they show in the children and their lives outside nursery.
Reply from Clare Wilson, Manager at Puddleducks Childrens NurseryThank you, for this lovely review, it has been our pleasure to look after both of your children.

Review from K W (Mother of Child) published on 24 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After viewing a few nurseries in the area, I knew we'd found "the one" with Puddleducks. My little boy has been a duckling since he was 9 months, and the amazing staff went above and beyond to help him settle into nursery life.
What I believe makes Puddleducks special is that it feels like a family.
From the manager Clare - who is incredibly diligent and knowledgable - to the apprentices, each member of staff has come to feel like part of our extended family.
My little boy adores nursery, learns so much every day he's there and is building wonderful friendships. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a wonderful childcare setting and cannot recommend Puddleducks more highly.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.904)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.904) out of 10 for Puddleducks Childrens Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.746 for Puddleducks Childrens Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (46 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.746
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.158 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Puddleducks Childrens Nursery is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 38 number of registered child places is 7.6. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.6 = 0.658
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
