Review Us
  • Puddleducks Children's Day Nursery Pickering, Malton
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.

Lindsey

Lindsey Dring

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2022

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!

Sarah

Sarah Mitchinson

Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2016

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.

Charlotte

Charlotte Hughes

Job Title: Third in Charge and Deputy Manager Joined: 2020

Charlotte has worked at Puddleducks since 2020. On opening, she located to our Pickering nursery and oversees the running of our largest baby room, ensuring that the team of professionals working alongside her provide the very best care and earliest education for our babies. Charlotte also supports Lindsey and Sarah with the wider running of the nursery.
