tESTIMONIALS

'Just amazing. Such a wonderful place. It’s honestly like leaving your child with a family member. The staff treat our daughter like one of their own. My return to work was made so much easier knowing that Little Puddleducks was looking after her. They are so helpful!

My daughter's confidence and life skills have developed so much and she is making some wonderful friends with the other children even at such a young age. The facilities are amazing and I love picking her up and her telling me about her day.'

'I can not recommend this Nursery enough! From the start they have made my daughter and I feel extremely comfortable. My daughter can sometimes get a little tearful in a new setting but not once has she been upset when dropping her off or picking her up! She loves it just as much as I do!'

'The team at Little Puddleducks has made leaving our son, whilst we go to work, much easier. We can be confident that he is cared for as an individual and all the staff there take great pride in the work they do.
They have helped my son become confident and independent whilst providing fun, educational activities in a loving and caring environment.
We have found them to go above and beyond what you would expect from a childcare setting and feel we could not have found a better nursery - proven by the fact he doesn’t usually want to leave at the end of the day'

'My daughter has been attending Little Puddleducks for just over a year, starting when she was 8 months old.
It’s been such an amazing nursery for her to attend; I love the variety in toys and activities, the lovely rural setting with massive outside space and play area and all facilities! There’s a fantastic variety of food provided, excellent communication between all staff and parents (what’s gone on during the day; nappies, sleeps, food eaten and activities), monthly updates from Managers, daily photo updates on FB but the main thing that makes this nursery so fantastic is it’s absolutely exceptional staff!
From her first day, she has been so welcomed by everyone, who are genuinely so warm and nurturing!

She has progressed so much and truly loves going there.
Little Puddleducks is such a well thought out nursery, it really is like a little family; we are so lucky she goes there, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!'

'Little Puddleducks has always given me total confidence in the care and daily experience that my little girl is receiving. From the very first day that I nervously dropped her off at her first settling in session to my first day back  at work from maternity I have always been able leave her knowing that she is safe and happy, even on days when I would rather have been able to be at home with her because she’s not been feeling great, I have known that she will be given extra cuddles that  day. It’s hard being a working parent and trusting your childcare provider is a huge weight off your mind. Little Puddleducks truly feels like a family, a home from home, their care, dedication and communication all places the child at the centre. It is a  very special place and the outdoor space is beyond any others setting that I have seen. I couldn’t recommend Little Puddleducks highly enough.'

 My daughter has attended Little Puddleducks since she was 14 months old and is now 3years 7months. She absolutely loves attending nursery and asks every morning if it’s “a puddleducks day”. My daughter can be quiet and reserved in places other than home, but over time has grown much more confident by the staff at Puddleducks supporting her, and allowing her time to work things out herself but assist when needed! She loves telling me about all of the fun things she has done during her day and talks about the food she has eaten. There isn’t a day she doesn’t role play nursery, using the names of her teachers and friends as part of independent play. Watching my daughter develop and grow in confidence each day is fantastic, and the staff are so kind, encouraging and supportive and they offer excellent handovers about each day. We have been extremely happy with the care provided at Little Puddleducks, our son will also be joining when he is 1 year old! I would highly recommend Little Puddleducks! 

'I was really reassured with how professional and caring the staff at Little Puddleducks were when picking up my granddaughter. 

I' am impressed with the security of the nursery.'

 Moving M to Little Puddleducks was honestly one of the best decisions we have ever made.

When M started nursery at two years old, she was basically non-verbal and had very few words. Since being at Little Puddleducks, she has become like a completely different child. Her confidence, communication, learning and development have come on so much, and we truly believe this is down to the incredible care, patience and dedication of the team.

Elli and Caroline have gone above and beyond to support M’s learning and development, and we will always be so grateful for everything they have done. You can genuinely see how much they care about the children and helping them thrive.

It’s always lovely to be greeted by Patrick the Peacock at drop-off such a fun and welcoming touch that the children love! The whole team are absolutely wonderful, so kind, caring and friendly, and it’s clear they create such a happy and nurturing environment.

The children are always doing different activities every day, which keeps learning exciting and fun. A special mention also to Gail in the kitchen the food is amazing, and M always eats every bit of it often having seconds!

We honestly couldn’t recommend Little Puddleducks enough. Watching how much M has grown and flourished since starting here has been incredible. It really is such a special nursery, and we are so thankful to everyone for everything they do. 

  R has been at Puddleducks for nearly 4 months but it feels like he has been there forever with how smooth and comfortable the transition has been. It didn’t take him long to settle in the babies room and that is all down to the amazing staff. I feel like each child is treated so well to their individual needs and the staff really do want the best for the children’s a development. R has come on so well since attending Puddleducks, his personality has grown even more than we could imagined and he is become so confident which is really showing at home too with his playing and his speech. I know when I drop him off he is in good hands and well looked after. I would recommended Puddleducks to any parents. Choosing a nursery for your child is such a big decision and you are putting so much trust into the people you leave them with. I feel truly blessed that we found Puddleducks and I cannot wait to see R shine even more in the years he will have there. A special shout out to Mills, Meg and Lily for everything they do for R.
