Review from Lauren A (Mother of Child) published on 14 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We would recommend Puddleducks Nursery to anyone thinking of putting their child into a nursery setting. All of the staff are absolutely fabulous and greet each of the children with their name as they walk in which makes them feel welcome as soon as they arrive.

All of the rooms are beautiful and are tailored to the needs of each age range and the outside facilities are brilliant too - our son loves them! Their communication cannot be faulted and we are notified of any issues quickly and they are also quick to reply to any questions you have.

Overall Experience

I've been sending my boys to Puddleducks Nursery since 2021 and cannot fault them. My eldest is now at primary school and has had the most amazing start thanks to all his amazing key workers at Puddleducks. All staff members are so caring and approachable. I have always felt at ease leaving both my boys with their key workers, knowing how well they will be cared for, something which is hugely important to me as a mum. The nursery is well equipped and their food is out of this world. My little boy went on so many trips when he was in their preschool room, such as visits to the library, Panto, care home and weekly visits to the local martial arts center - he loved this! Their outdoor space is the best, children have the freedom to spend all their time outside if they want to, this was really important to me when choosing a nursery. Highly recommend Puddleducks!

Review from Sally B (Mother of Child) published on 12 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son moved from an Outstanding rated Pre-School in Manchester in March 2024 to Puddleducks Nursery. I was nervous about how he would transition into a completely different setting as it seemed a lot calmer and more structured than his last pre-school.
His move was so smooth, I think as a result of how lovely, kind and welcoming everyone is.
The amount of effort the team put in to arranging extra trips and people to visit is a truly enriching experience (trips to the zoo, the butcher, the florist, visits from farmers, animals etc.) as his old pre-school did not do anything like that.
There is a thorough handover at the end of each day including the activities they have done, what they have had to eat etc. There is also a social media page which is regularly updated with photos.

I would 100% recommend anyone in the area to attend and feel that they have prepared him well for school in September.

Overall Experience
I could not sing enough praises about Puddleducks Nursery! Our first little girl has attended nursery since July 2024 and all of us have enjoyed every moment of it. Not just our daughter learning new skills and socialising but the ladies that keep Malton running are just so lovely and instantly make you feel totally at ease. The weekly overall nursery updates, daily photos online and general communication are the best. Even after little accidents, we are kept in the loop of it happening and how our daughter is doing.

I can't wait for the next few years here at Puddleducks and all of our future babies attending!

Such an amazing nursery. My child was fairly late to start nursery as I was so anxious about leaving her but the first time we went to Puddleducks Nursery we knew she'd be looked after. The staff are amazing my child loves every person that looks after her. The nursery truly is incredible and deserves the highest rating!

Overall Experience

Great nursery, my baby loves going and although it took a while to get used to it. I think she absolutely loves it and always comes out happy and smiling. The size of each room is great for the children to have different sections to play in, and the outdoor area the same. By the sounds of things they have lots of fun activities they can choose to do which are some things you wouldn't necessarily do at home. The staff are also really lovely and always attentive and friendly.

Overall Experience
We couldn’t be happier with Puddleducks and the way they have been so impressive with our child, so welcoming and kind to us after we were afraid of him starting nursery being so young. His key worker is so lovely and just so welcoming every time we see her. I feel like he is going into a safe place every time I leave him, and as a mum, that is all you could wish for.

Keep up the amazing work team Puddleducks.

Overall Experience

My daughter started Puddleducks in Malton at eight months old in January and she absolutely loves it. After viewing the nursery last year, we knew it was the one we wanted her to attend as it just seemed above and beyond the rest. She goes in smiling and looks back when we pick her up! The team are fab, keeping us posted and posting photo updates of the day's activities. I have 100% confidence in the staff there, and I'm so pleased how much my little girl enjoys it.

Review from Lucy F (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at Puddleducks since she was 8 months old (now 2) and the care and love all the staff show her is incredible. I know she's in safe hands, has an amazing time (the smile on her face speaks volumes), eats and tries a variety of food, and does lots of different activities inside and outside. They have supported her every step of the way and she's now growing in confidence and exploring different things - she now loves baking and climbs more confidently for example. The staff went above and beyond when she became scared of water and made sure to provide extra water play and talking about bath time which helped massively at home. I couldn't ask for more. Thank you so much!

Review from Rozzy C (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
After many years of attending different nurseries with 3 children, I can say with confidence that Puddleducks is by far the best setting we have ever been to.
When you enter the nursery on a morning it is welcoming and calm which helps both kids and parents! Days are filled with Imaginative, fun activities
which are facilitated by the most amazing, kind and capable staff!
Our son has a wonderful relationship with his key worker but also with all other staff too. Communication from management is regular and effective and nothing is ever too much. As a parent, I feel the nursery involves us in decision-making and prides itself in letting us in to see what our children are experiencing on a day-to-day basis.

I recommend Puddleducks to everyone I speak to.

Review from Maisie A (Mother of Child) published on 13 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has had a great start to her education at Puddleducks. She has recently moved to toddlers after having an amazing time in the baby room with a great relationship with her key worker. Everyone at Puddleducks has gone above and beyond to make the transition for my child (and me!) as smooth as possible with reassuring emails and pictures. She was already blowing kisses to her new key worker who is so lovely and bubbly. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough we have had nothing but a positive experience with all the staff friendly, smiley and understanding.

Review from Natalie M (Mother of Child) published on 13 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
When we were searching for a nursery, we fell in love with Puddleducks. The effort the staff put into the rooms, equipment, and outdoor facilities, really outweighed other nurseries. But, the main reason for choosing Puddleducks is because it's instantly obvious how happy the children are. They are engaged in the activities and we know ourselves, how much our little girl loves her time with the staff. The staff form brilliant relationships and have a really good feedback loop. I always feel informed about how my little one is progressing and what they are working on.

As a parent, letting go of your little one is a big step. Knowing our little one was going to Puddleducks made it easier. She's really come out of her shell and has become so much more confident. I trust the staff implicitly. For me, there is no other choice. The nursery is very popular, so I'd recommend booking asap to guarantee a spot. That's the only downside, there is more interest than there are places.

My little boy loves his key worker so much and it makes me happy knowing he’s going to someone so lovely and caring.

He gets to play and do so much as well as meet other little people and socialise in a nice safe and clean environment. The staff are really good at keeping you informed on any accidents or if your child is just having an off day. And it’s nice to be able to phone in and check on them knowing the staff genuinely care and want you and your child to have a happy experience.

Puddleducks have been brilliant for our son. He loves going, the staff are really friendly and engaging. They are brilliant at keeping us informed of what our son has been up to, and in helping him to grow and develop. He runs into nursery in the morning with a smile, and leaves with another big smile. We feel so comfortable leaving him there and we are so grateful for having such a fab nursery take care of him.

Puddleducks has been great for my little girl. She has a great bond with her key worker making dropping off easy. Whilst my daughter is at nursery I know that she is well looked after as the facilities are just fab and the team plan activities all day each day so the children are constantly learning and playing. Each day we get to hear how the day has gone for our little one. Her confidence is increasing and she is coming on in leaps and bounds.
