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.

Puddleducks is an amazing nursery and I'm so pleased my son can attend such a great place which provides a great start and essential building blocks for his development and education.
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.

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.

Puddleducks is a wonderful nursery. We have been using Puddleducks for almost a year now and cannot fault anything.
The variety of activities is fantastic, and the staff are so lovely. They are very thorough in their handover which gives a great insight into what our little boy gets up to each day
(it sounds great!)
Overall, I feel very fortunate that our little boy is so happy and settled there and would highly recommend using this nursery!

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!

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.

I couldn't ask any more of the team that look after my two little ones at Puddleducks! My little girl has been with the nursery for 2 years, during which time she has created strong bonds with the staff, especially her key workers, grown in confidence & character and formed some wonderful
friendships with the other children. From experience I knew I wouldn't find a better place to care for my little boy following my recent maternity leave - again I've been reassured of the excellent care they provide with how quickly he's settled and bonded with his key worker. It makes leaving them so much easier knowing how content they are.
The support and encouragement they receive to explore their own learning is incredible, and the environment provided is safe yet beautiful.
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.
03 March 2025
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!!

I absolutely love Puddleducks Nursery Malton. It's so difficult to hand your baby over for the first time after maternity leave but the staff have made the whole transition more or less seamless!
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.
21 February 2025
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.
14 February 2025
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.
14 February 2025
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!
14 February 2025
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.
12 February 2025
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!
12 February 2025
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.
