September 6, 2024 at 12:55 pmThe team are attentive, attentive and nurturing. My son is currently in the baby room and has been since he was about five months old (he’s now twenty-one months). From the day he started, he has loved going there and has developed in every way far quicker than we expected. The meals served are varied and the team pay close attention to family preferences (low sugar, dairy free or vegetarian etc). I would definitely (and do) highly suggest Ducklings to anyone.

September 26, 2024 at 10:28 pmOur son started when he was 7 months old and he is now almost 2. Ducklings have been fantastic from our very first visit. The team care deeply about each kid and are welcoming, well‑informed and professional.
We are regularly updated throughout the day on meals, toileting and activities, as well as receiving a more in-depth update on our kid’s progression termly.
The variety of activities and outings is fantastic and truly enables each kid to explore for themselves. The facilities at Ducklings are excellent, an orchard, mud kitchen and tons of outdoor space to playtime in!
Our son loves every second he spends at Ducklings, I would definitely not hesitate to suggest it!

October 26, 2024 at 6:36 pmThere was a settling-in process to ease her into childcare centre life which helped her settle very quickly. My daughter has attended Ducklings Childcare since Sep 2022. She has a great rapport with all key workers at the childcare centre, happily being handed over to them in the morning with open arms. My daughter is vegetarian and is offered a varied and healthy menu of snacks and meals, which are not overly carb based and offer several flavours and textures of fruit and vegetables. She is also not given any processed sugar. In terms of the curriculum and facilities, they are excellent. Indoors and outdoors, there is plenty of toys and objects for various types of activities to help the kids explore and develop skills. My daughter has blossomed at Ducklings. Even though she can’t form sentences yet, she has already been able to show me a new song she learned. Parents can access info on the kid’s daily activities on an app and monthly development reports. I am very cheerful with the level of service provided.

November 18, 2024 at 7:06 pmHe has been cheerful and confident going in, right from the start and we have been amazed with his development during these first eighteen months. Our son has been at Ducklings since January 2022 and we have been incredibly pleased with his time there so far.
The whole team take a excellent deal of care to get to know the kids and our son has flourished under the care of his key workers. During handovers, a concise summary of the day is given, and we’re grateful for the chance to ask questions and give information as needed. The management team respond truly quickly to queries via phone or email and also know the kids well.
The discovering opportunities have been very impressive, covering social, physical and emotional education too. Our son loves to learn through playtime and particularly enjoys the time spent in the garden.

December 12, 2024 at 12:04 amI wouldn’t want my kids attending any other setting. Ducklings Childcare gives home from home care. All the team make you sense as though you are handing your kid over to a family member, very comforting especially during the settling in sessions. All the meals are cooked from scratch with lots of variety too. When it came to my eldest transition to primary school, the teacher commented that she could have guessed they attended Ducklings as the childcare centre truly prepares the kids for school. Also, one of my kids is being investigated for SEN and the childcare centre have been so supportive and even took time in preparing reports for external clinicians. The setting is full of educational toys and the garden has just been refurbished too! Ducklings Childcare comes highly recommended.

January 19, 2025 at 12:18 pmI consistently like the childcare centre but now I adore it. I have been so impressed with Ducklings in the past year or so. My daughters both think it is a special place where they form excellent friendships with peers but also fantastic discovering relationships with the adults around them. They adore going there and consistently talk about how lovely everyone is. If ever truly I have had a slight concern I sense it is dealt with in a heartbeat and you can’t ask more than that from somewhere you send your kids. I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest Ducklings and in fact have to many many people.

January 25, 2025 at 2:52 amThe team at Ducklings care for my son like he is their own, he loves his time there. I have nothing but praise for Ducklings, as a first time Mum returning to work from a year on maternity leave I was understandably worried about leaving my son in someone else’s care but I had nothing to worry about!

February 16, 2025 at 8:20 amHe was born almost six weeks early and had a slight global delay which meant his speech and language was a little behind when he reached two. My son has attended the setting since he was 18 months old and has thrived beautifully! His key person at the time worked amazingly with him to help with his speech and language development and would definitely work closely with him to assistance his needs. We felt that we were very much involved in his ICP and were able to express our thoughts and they were heard.
The team have consistently been very kind and approachable throughout his childcare centre journey and have been more than cheerful to help with any worries or concerns his mother and I had.
He now attends preschool and he absolutely loves it. He is consistently taking part in new activities, discovering new skills such as using tools in the garden and more importantly, he is consistently encouraged and supported at Ducklings to express himself both emotionally and physically and is very cheerful!

March 5, 2025 at 6:53 pmThey both wanted to go in every day and that tells you something. This is the most ‘family sense’ Nursery that we have ever truly come across.
We have sent to Ducklings Childcare both of our kids and they both couldn’t get enough.
Managers and all team are very welcoming, reliable and very much liked by the kids. You can truly trust that they will comfort your kid in any aspect.
Absolutely fantastic place for your little one.

March 21, 2025 at 9:02 pmBut the care they give to each kid is exceptional, even when the kid is not present at the setting. We have had a fantastic journey with the childcare centre since our son started in 2021. For example, our son was very poorly in July 2022 and ended up in hospital, the team and management would definitely frequently go out of their way to call and ask for updates on him and send their adore and assistance for us as parents too. Which was much appreciated.
It truly is an incredible setting and the team are phenomenal.

April 8, 2025 at 7:52 amMy daughter has been attending for over two years and loves it. Excellent childcare centre in every aspect. She has had excellent, attentive key workers who are so approachable and great with the kids. There is also a variety of team from super young and energetic to more experienced which is a great combination. They have their own kitchen and my daughter mentions the yummy food cooked by the chef. Parents know menus in advance and they are nutritious and varied. The garden has been refurbished recently and it’s huge, with all the areas you would definitely expect like mud kitchen, vegetable patch, etc. The communication with parents is excellent and the management has been very efficient, they consistently reply so quickly and are so supportive. Well worth the extra money compared to all other nurseries around Godmanchester.

April 28, 2025 at 12:28 pmYou can tell the team truly care about him and take the time to talk through any concerns they have with us. My son has gone to this childcare centre since he was 12 months old and he has thrived in their attentive, compassionate and secure setting. The handover is excellent and any concerns we have had have been dealt with promptly and efficiently. Their facilities are fantastic with a newly refurbished garden and their menus are comprehensive and nutritious.

May 9, 2025 at 3:01 pmAmazing attentive educators, lovely setting. My son loves Ducklings Childcare so much when he comes back home he tells us what he’s been doing and he asks every day to go. It brings peace of mind knowing your kids are well looked after.

May 18, 2025 at 5:30 pmShe has thrived in the setting thanks to the incredible team and gorgeous resources/activities that are planned. My daughter has attended Ducklings Childcare since September 2022. Communication is super- daily handover as well as a monthly developmental update/observations which are shared on the online platform. Wish we had chosen Ducklings sooner!

May 21, 2025 at 10:03 amOur four-year-old and eleven-month-old go there and we know they are in great hands. My partner and I are very cheerful with Ducklings. They have lovely outside space, they do a range of activities and have a varied menu.

June 24, 2025 at 1:26 amThe facilities are brilliant and the kids adore the newly refurbished garden. I have two kids that go to Ducklings Nursery and they both adore it. We get in-depth monthly updates which I consistently look forward to. The team are truly lovely and give excellent updates on pick up.

June 30, 2025 at 11:46 pmI have been very impressed with the individual attention she has received since starting at the setting. My daughter has been attending Ducklings since September 2022, when she joined the preschool room. She completely loves going and is disappointed on days she cannot attend! All the team are incredibly approachable and hardworking. Monthly reports, daily handovers and effective communication mean that I sense involved with her development and progress made. The activities provided allow my daughter to have a wide range of experiences ready for starting school and for succeeding in life. I have also been particularly impressed with the focus on mental health as well as physical and educational development.
