EXCELLENT Based on 5 reviews Posted on Alice IndeaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter absolutely loves coming to nursery, the practitioners are so kind, friendly and caring and have the most wonderful bond with my daughter. They always go above and beyond for her and are brilliant at managing her allergies. My daughter loves the activities set up by the nursery and I have seen her learn and develop massively in her short time at nursery. There is nowhere else I would rather send my daughter to, the most brilliant setting with amazing activities and resources for the children.Posted on Al BlancoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My grandchild has been attending Puddle Ducks since September and l am delighted we found it. This is no ordinary nursery, it's a cut above and the staff are very friendly and professional. The premises is spotless and very well equipped with plenty to keep the children stimulated both inside and out, and plenty of staff on hand to tend to their needs. It's in a lovely location within easy reach of the A21 making it easy and convenient for me to drop off and collect. Wishing them all the very best of luck with this new venture, highly recommended.Posted on Arran HollettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have nothing but positive things to say about Puddle Ducks. The staff are professional, attentive, and genuinely engaged with the children. They strike a good balance between providing structure and allowing kids the freedom to explore and learn at their own pace. The nursery environment is clean, well-organised, and thoughtfully set up with age-appropriate activities that constantly change and make the most of the season. My children have made steady progress and it’s clear that the team puts real effort into planning meaningful activities rather than just keeping the children busy. Communication with parents has been consistent and helpful. We receive daily updates about my child’s day, development, and any concerns, which makes it easy to stay involved. Puddle Ducks has been reliable, well-managed, and a genuinely supportive place for our children. We’re pleased with our experience and would confidently recommend it to other families.Posted on JoshTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Puddle ducks is a fantastic nursery, located on a lovely farm site. The care and attention the staff give my kids is second to none. My children have settled in so well due to the welcoming atmosphere, varied and engaging activities planned each day. Good communication either on pickup or on the app they use is timely and informative. Highly recommended.Posted on Alex NobleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Puddle ducks has really made a big impression on us. They make a real effort to go the extra mile for my son and compared to other nurseries they are night and day with their care and attention. I cannot thank the staff enough for making such a positive impact on my son.
From our wrap around garden to our forest school adventures we aim to make every day an outside experience. Children learn through movement, exploration, and hands-on discovery in all weathers.
Our outside space connects to the inside allowing free flow, into a warm, homely retreat with natural textures, gentle colours, and cosy spaces that feel safe and familiar. Together, these environments nurture confident, curious learners who shine in their own unique way.
Below are some artistics renders of how the space may look, please note that these are not final plans and are subject to change.
