Puddleducks Children's Day Nursery Pickering can be found on the A169 at the Kirbymisperton junction, around 2 miles from Pickering and approximately 6 miles from Malton.
The site was purchased in 2025, having previously been run as a 22-bedroom hotel. After exploring a number of potential premises in and around Pickering, it quickly became clear that this building was the ideal choice for a third nursery location. While the property required major refurbishment, including a full renovation, a new roof, and extensive internal improvements, the potential to create a truly special nursery space was obvious from the outset.
Following eight months of significant redevelopment, Puddleducks Pickering opened in September 2025 and has since become a standout setting for early years care and education.
Surrounded by large gardens and thoughtfully designed outdoor play areas, the nursery provides exceptional opportunities for children to learn through nature, exploration, and outdoor experiences.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Lindsey is a qualified and experienced primary teacher, specialising in early years. She has loved working with children from all walks of life. Children’s earliest experience of education and learning is key to their development, and having struggled to find a local nursery that she trusted with her own child, Lindsey invests time and effort into creating an environment for children to flourish in.
Lindsey is a creative soul at heart, and when you don’t find her at the nursery, you’ll usually find her working on a messy project or with her head under a sewing machine. Lindsey also has a costume degree, and after spending some time working on a few Disney films, she still cannot be away from her machine for too long! She is lucky enough to be blessed with a wonderful little boy that LOVES to read. She enjoys a Gruffalo hunt in the woods, followed by hot chocolate and plenty of biscuits!

Another very long-standing and highly valued member of our team, Sarah, joined our Sheriff Hutton team in 2016, where she quickly progressed to room leadership. On opening, she moved to our Malton nursery in 2022 and, most recently, has been promoted to deputy manager at our Pickering nursery. What Sarah doesn’t know about Puddleducks isn’t worth knowing! She plays a crucial role in our nursery alongside Lindsey.
