Review from K D (Mother of Child) published on 19 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I've been extremely happy with the care and attention my child receives at The Puddleduck Nursery. The staff are warm, professional, and genuinely invested in the children's development. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with smiles and a welcoming atmosphere that instantly puts both parents
and children at ease.


The nursery provides a wide range of engaging activities - from arts and crafts to outdoor play in the Forest school and early learning sessions - all designed to support each child's growth and curiosity. My child has become much more confident, social, and independent since the new management under Kim.


The facilities are clean, secure, and thoughtfully organised. Meals and snacks are healthy and varied, and the staff are excellent at accommodating dietary needs. Communication is also a huge plus: we receive daily updates through the nursery app, including photos, progress notes, and reminders. The events for parents are great too.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son spend wonderful 2 years in this nursery and loved every minute. Special mention to Susana and Debbie, he loved them both so much and there was no day when he would not want to go in. He was also a big fan of their forest school, football & music lessons.


As a parents we liked the environment,

teachers and we also liked their food menu which offered heathy options full of flavour.

Review from Michaela R (Mother of Child) published on 18 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It's a lovely, bright, open space with lots of different activity areas and toys. The staff are engaged with the children - there's different activities every day. We find the staff supportive. For example, our son has been going through a difficult moment developmentally, and they have been helping
us figure it out.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.579)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.579) out of 10 for Puddleduck Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 3 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 4.944 for Puddleduck Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (34 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.944
  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 3.635 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Puddleduck Nursery is based on 3 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.25
    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 39 number of registered child places is 7.8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.8 = 0.385
  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.
