August 29, 2019 at 12:00 amMy daughter loves coming to nursery, she has been there since 8 months old. The staff are brilliant and always understand my child’s needs. The nursery management are brilliant – always able to help out where they can, however, the new owner can be rude and unwelcoming and seems more money centred than child-focused.
The nursery itself is looking quite tired now and could do with some refurbishment in places, but this does not affect the quality of care given by the staff – cannot praise them enough for all they do.
The only criticism I could give if I had too, would be communication with regards to events, we always seem to find out too late that something is happening eg photo day but my child only goes once a week so perhaps this is why.

January 16, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has special needs and been attending Ducklings since July 2018 and has blossomed since being there. We were faced with so many nurseries that appeared unwilling to accept our daughter but Ducklings embraced her. They have such an inclusive not only within the nursery but in the local community too, they attend a local nursing home where the children and residents sing play games and interact with each other. The nursery provides a nurturing and safe environment. We can’t speak highly enough of the amazing staff and will be sorry when my daughter leaves to go to school.

July 8, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter loves coming to Ducklings Nursery, she has made lots of friends here. She loves exploring the activities set up for the day, from painting to building robots, learning about owls and different types of transport, reading and singing nursery rhymes. Her absolute favourite is the water tray, which one day she had decided to sit in!
She also enjoys exploring outside, playing on the pirate ship and making mud pies in the mud kitchen.
The children are also taken on little trips out of the nursery, to the local park, library and a local care home.
The staff are lovely, welcoming and friendly and are happy to help with any concerns.
The nursery is currently undergoing a complete renovation and will look amazing when it’s complete, it’s a shame that my daughter will be starting school soon and miss it.

July 8, 2022 at 12:00 amMy child has been coming here since last year, this is my favourite nursery (older two went to different ones). I couldn’t ask for kinder people towards all of my children and myself, the nursery is informative about anything I want to know and they have really gone the extra mile for me. My child always enjoys coming to nursery and that makes such a difference, I’m confident in the workers here that they know my child and what she needs.

July 8, 2022 at 12:00 amBoth of my girls go to this nursery and one is soon to leave. The service that has been provided here is excellent!
We have loved how the team has helped my kids grow and create friendships.
It’ll be sad when both of mine leave for school but it’s been an amazing journey and I’m thankful the team have been part of it.

July 8, 2022 at 12:00 amGreat nursery, with great staff. Really helped my child settle in fast. Always kept up to date with what is happening with a good run down of how my child has been during the day. Really excited about the new refurbishments! Really couldn’t recommend this nursery enough!

July 8, 2022 at 12:00 amOur little boy started nursery at Ducklings in May so I could return to work after maternity leave. As all mamas know it is a very anxious time when they first start nursery and you visit a few nurseries to make sure you pick the right one for them and I am so happy with our decision! He comes back so happy and is excited to go back. The girls have been wonderful and the pictures they send me on the app make my day! I’m always checking the app when I’m at work and it gives me peace of mind when I see pictures of his little face. A big thank you to all the staff at Ducklings.

July 8, 2022 at 12:00 amDucklings Nursery has really helped my daughter with settling in, I really appreciate the lovely morning conversations and the handovers, glad to find out what sort of day my daughter had.
I admire the positivity of the staff, they are always pleasant regardless of the time of the day.
I feel that my daughter is safe there and I am happy to say that I will be continuing to use them, hopefully up until she graduates.

July 8, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter began her nursery journey aged three in February 2021 and is due to be leaving in August 2022. During her time with the nursery, her overall development has been amazing. She has developed her confidence and her personal skills and personality has blossomed. The staff have been so supportive in aiding her development and always giving feedback on collection and supportive when there have been any concerns.

They are not afraid to highlight concerns or give you an honest reflection of how the day has gone. It’s refreshing and important to have that approach. Thank you for everything.

August 8, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter moved to Ducklings when her existing nursery closed, the staff have made her so welcome, and we have been so impressed by how quickly she settled. She loves being at Ducklings and has told me she wouldn’t want to go to the broken nursery and she likes the new one. She has made lots of friends, and we are so happy with her progress and also the amount of work the staff put in to get them school ready – thank you.
