Puddleduck has been a home-from-home experience for my daughter. I will be very sad when she leaves in the coming months for school. In the words of my daughter who says, "I don't want to grow up and go to big school, I want to stay at Puddleduck with my friends and teachers!" All the staff have been incredible with her, they are all so caring, attentive and have been a huge part of her development and learning. The makeover of the nursery recently is wonderful, the forest school is so lovely and the outdoor area and the learning opportunities that Puddleduck have created have been unforgettable. A big thank you to the staff who have played a huge part in my daughter's happiness at Puddleduck!
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our warm, friendly team are so passionate about helping children to learn and grow. Children are nurtured and supported in the development of new skills and encouraged to go at their own pace to help build their confidence. Ensuring children have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the fresh air is so important for their happiness and wellbeing.
My daughter has been at Puddleduck since she was 18 months old, she is soon to be 4 and leaving for big school in September. It has been the most wonderful experience for her, the staff/key workers are so nurturing and kind, the classrooms are lovely and the grounds are huge! The forest school is great and so important for the kids to be outdoors. My 2nd child will be going to Puddleduck too!
