Puddleducks Children's Day Nursery Malton

I will be very sad the day my boys have to leave

I am nothing but impressed by Puddleducks. My little girl has recently started in baby room and I was so apprehensive about sending her. Having said that, every member of staff has worked so hard to put us at ease. We love our key worker Ellie who is phenomenal and has already built up such a good relationship with our daughter. The nursery go to so much effort to make sure the children have stimulating and exciting activities to do. The meals they are given are amazing, and the general care that goes into every action is so noticeable. I would highly recommend Puddleducks to anyone and I am so pleased to have found such an outstanding nursery.

Always welcoming and great with my daughter. So informative of what she's been up to during the day, what she's eaten etc.

I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking for their child.

My little boy absolutely loves his time at Puddleducks. He recently transitioned from another nursery and I thought he was going to struggle settling in but everyone was so friendly with him and he settled in so fast and asks every morning if it's nursery today. Great food, great activities and great staff.

Outstanding! I was so nervous to send my child to nursery but the staff and key worker for my child are absolutely amazing! They really go above and beyond to care for my child and keep us updated with all the key information. The food options are so varied to allow my child to keep trying new things. The rooms are great and full of activities. The staff are wonderful with my child's medical needs and really understand what's happening at all times. I highly recommend this nursery to everyone I speak to.

Amazing nursery, my little boy loves it here. The staff are so friendly. Always there for hugs. He loves the food too & managers are only too happy to help. There are a great range of activities everyday & lots of reading & songs & fun.

My daughter has always enjoyed her time at Puddleducks from starting at 15 months old and has always created good bonds and relationships with her key person as well as the other team members. She enjoys the wide range of activities and always seems to eat well from their varied nutritious menu.

I'm pleased I found Puddleducks for my daughter's early years care, all the staff make the effort to get to know all the children and are very kind and approachable.

A wonderful nursery where the staff are nurturing and caring. The things my son does are varied and engaging and the enrichment programme is wonderful. My son is so happy at nursery and has solid relationships with the staff. I would highly recommend to anyone who understands how important the early years are.

My son is soon to be moving into the toddler room and has had a great year in the baby room. Leaving your baby at a nursery can be very stressful but Puddleducks care, love and support from all of the team has taken away all of the stresses for me over the last year.

Overall, I feel very fortunate that our little boy is so happy and settled there and would highly recommend using this nursery!

Our daughter has a fantastic time at Puddleducks, with a thorough range of activities and beautiful setting. The team are always happy to chat and share detailed information on how our daughter has got on. There are excellent community links with other businesses in the area which gives good outreach opportunities for the children. The food menu is varied, fresh and always quick to respond to changes in government guidance.

We love Puddleducks and feel part of the Puddleducks family. We have 2 children attending currently, and will be sending our third baby next year. There is no other provider in the area we would choose. Our children have special bonds with their key workers which has helped them settle and is reassuring for us. All staff know our children and greet us, from kitchen to office. Our older child has experienced various opportunities and visits outside of the nursery. Great communication - We are kept well informed from office staff and handovers from key workers. The building is well maintained and homely. The food menu is healthy and varied, and our children love the food.

My son has been attending PuddleDucks in Malton since September 2025 and he absolutely loves it! We moved from quite far from his old nursery so we were nervous he might not settle into a new nursery but even when we went to look around, he was fully involved! Ever since he has made some lovely friends, he absolutely adores his key worker and the staff are all so understanding about our religious views and work with us so that he can still feel involved. We are so grateful to have found PuddleDucks! Thank you for all being so lovely!

I really couldn't recommend a better place than Puddleducks and their lovely team!

My daughter has been with Puddleducks Nursery in Malton since it opened and has been in both the Baby and Toddler room and we cannot rate it highly enough. It really is like a home from home, I know when I drop my daughter off she will have a fantastic time full of love and laughter. Everyday teaches her something new through a vast array of activities. They more than deserve there outstanding ofsted rating.

I can not praise this nursery enough!! Both of our girls love going to nursery and have settled in brilliantly. Our eldest also receives a little bit of extra care, which as a mum was very daunting to leave her in someone else's care but I couldn't be happier with how well she's looked after. Keep up the good work guys!!

Even though my daughter went for her last year of nursery and I knew the setting, I was apprehensive about my baby starting as I was going back to work so much earlier than I had hoped and way before I did with my daughter. Puddleducks made me feel so comfortable and luckily my son took to his key worker and the other staff straight away. I felt listened to and understood and I have been so happy to drop him off every morning knowing how happy he is there.

All our interactions with Puddleducks have been positive. The team are very friendly, accommodating and professional. I love the key worker system which has really helped my child settle at the nursery but he still gets plenty of time supported by the wider team. There's always a good range of activities for the children to do. I appreciate how responsive the staff are to my child's mood/needs on any given day. The menu provision is excellent.

I will always have nothing but great things to say about Puddleducks Nursery. My little boy has loved it since starting, all the staff are so kind and supportive, going above and beyond for parents and children. I couldn't recommend them enough.

Our daughter has absolutely flourished at Puddleducks Nursery. Going back to work after maternity leave is tough but I knew from day 1 that she was in the best place. Two years on she still loves going and her communication skills, her willingness to eat/try everything and her confidence at getting stuck in to every activity is a testament to the team and her key workers. Thank you team Puddleducks!
