Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am writing to express our sincere appreciation for the outstanding care that our children receive at the Little Ducklings Putney Bridge Nursery. Relocating our family to London was never easy, and finding a trustworthy and nurturing nursery with bilingual education for our children was our top priority.
We are grateful to have found Little Ducklings Putney Bridge Nursery, a team of teachers whom we could confidently place our trust in. The professionalism, patience and genuine warmth of the teachers are evident. Seeing our children enjoying their time at the nursery and witnessing their continued progress give immense peace of mind especially during this major transition. I would highly recommend Little Ducklings Putney Bridge Nursery!

We could not be happier with our decision to enrol our son at Little Ducklings. The love, support and recognition of kids individual interests is unmatched and is consistent across the entire staff. The daily communication and photos really helps ease first time parents minds - it's so evident the joy
and fun the children are having. Every day is different - with exciting activities that challenge the children to grow and develop, all in a playful manner.


Would recommend this nursery to absolute anyone.

Love the Mandarin lessons and outside play area. Nothing to fault. When we first looked around we thought the first room lighting was a little sad/dark.

My son settled really quickly and seems to like it here. He smiles when he sees the staff so I think they formed some sort of bond over the two months. We are overall happy with the nursery. However, we did have for instances where my son was taken to the outside area without shoes and hat. we had to
write a complaint but since then things improved.

Our daughter has been at Mandarin Duckings Putney Bridge since February 2024. We have seen her grow so much and felt so supported in the process. The bilingual with Mandarin, Montessori and outdoor focus has been perfect blend for us. We are so grateful for the communication with staff and great variety
of learning and development as well as educational activities that our little one is exposed to.

Mandarin Ducklings is a fantastic, nurturing, and unique nursery, offering an excellent range of both learning activities, outdoor play and activities, and the most wonderful nutritious food. The staff are very caring and hold the hands of both parents and child together, much needed when settling in!
The updates in the app are detailed and timely and each day the staff get the children out, come rain or shine. Most importantly, my son is very happy here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter loves going to Mandarin Ducklings Putney Bridge Nursery. Their indoor and outdoor spaces are beautiful and perfect for inspiring adventurous, inquisitive and creative little minds. We love their wholesome program that seamlessly blends Montessori and Forest School principals, as well as
embedding Mandarin language throughout. Within the first month of attending, our daughter started coming home singing songs in Mandarin which blew us away.
Their outdoor spaces are incredible and rare, especially for London. Nature play was important for us and Mandarin Ducklings have exceeded our expectations with their two outdoor spaces; which not only are fun and engaging but also peaceful places for little explorers.
The staff are absolutely fabulous. They really know each and every child, and communication with parents is great. The staff genuinely care for and teach the children with so much kindness and passion, it honestly feels like an extension of our family.
We couldn’t be happier.

Our (now) 18-month-old daughter has absolutely thrived here. The outdoor space is brilliant and all of the teachers do a wonderful job with the unique combination of Montessori, Mandarin, and outdoor learning. Staff are delightful - they were so patient and caring as we were settling in and are very
communicative with the parents. The in-house chef does a wonderful job too - the menus look delicious. Our daughter is always happy at drop-off - she runs in to see her friends and teachers which makes us happy parents. We would not hesitate to recommend!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.874)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.874) out of 10 for Little Ducklings Putney Bridge 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.874 for Little Ducklings Putney Bridge Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (168 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.874
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Ducklings Putney Bridge Nursery is based on 16 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
