    Our daughter consistently has a fantastic time there and has learnt so much since being there the last year. I also cannot speak highly enough of the truly lovely team who make us and our daughter sense so comfortable. The childcare centre has such a inviting and welcoming feeling with clear focus given to the kids’s creativity and enjoyment while still encouraging discovering. We cannot even begin to say how much we appreciate Puddle Ducks.

    Both kids have consistently been highly cheerful at Puddle Ducks, the team are attentive and there is a family sense, all the team and kids know each other. The kids settled in well, to the point they rush in each morning without looking back!
    The new facilities after the refurbishment are exceptional, the space has been so well utilised.
    The large garden is excellent with lots of space for playing and running around. It’s excellent in Summer to see them having enjoyable outside at pick up.
    The setting is attentive and my kids have therefore developed this skill themselves early. Both kids have developed self‑assurance at childcare centre and my oldest transitioned into school easily from Puddle Ducks. I’ve had both my kids at Puddle Ducks Childcare centre, one is now at school.

    Activities are interesting, varied and age appropriate, with plenty of opportunity for downtime and free playtime. The facilities are also remarkable, with a huge garden at the back as well as a large covered outdoor area for the babies. But most importantly our son loves it and asks every morning if it’s a childcare centre day! We’re exceptionally cheerful with Puddleducks childcare centre, our eldest has been there for almost a year and a half, and our younger one has just started.
    The team who work there are truly lovely – genuinely know and care for the kids and are approachable and accessible for the parents.

    What I can notice first-hand is that he is consistently eager to go to childcare centre and has a big smile at pick-up time. He is discovering lots of songs and loves Thursdays the most, as that is the day in which a specialist Spanish teacher comes to the childcare centre and introduces the kids to the language. From my personal journey, the team is highly attentive and welcoming, highly attentive to kids’s needs and supportive with parents. The outdoor space is excellent and the team never misses an occasion to let the kids playtime outside – be it with toy cars, balls, making music or simply singing along. Kids are also encouraged to do hands-on activities, such as baking – and I must say the results are delicious! My kid has been attending Puddle-Ducks Childcare centre since the age of one.

    It also has a large garden in which the kids can playtime. Food is cooked on site, and the childcare centre can provide breakfast if an early drop off is required.

    There are a number of trips/visits each term to enable the kids to learn about things such as the local library, the fire brigade, etc. And there is also a Christmas playtime, a summer fair, and regular parents feedback days.

    At pick up time, the team give feedback on what activities the kids have conducted during the day, what they have eaten, how they have performed, etc.

    Overall we are highly cheerful with the childcare centre and would suggest it to any other parents in the area. Our two daughters currently attend the childcare centre, which we are highly cheerful with.

    The childcare centre is located in a quiet part of Putney, away from main roads, and has great security.

    I cannot sing the praises of the team enough. From the supportive manager who reassured me from the first visit; to the relentless kindness and care that the team of baby room one have shown my daughter. They are superhuman.

    My daughter loves coming here and even on the days when she doesn’t want to leave her mummy she is welcomed with a cuddle and settles before I have left the building.

    The feedback from the day is comprehensive, and most importantly I know how cheerful my kid has been rather than just how many nappies she has gone through. She seems to have different activities and enriching days every week which is highly important to me.
    A fantastic childcare centre. The team and manager at Puddle Ducks have created a fantastic and attentive setting which made going back to work and leaving my little lady an option I felt confident to take.

    We chose the childcare centre because we had heard so many positive things about it from our friends who also send their kids there. We’ve only ever felt delighted that we also chose such a lovely childcare centre. The team are all exceptionally compassionate and attentive and they clearly adore the kids they work with highly much. We get regular updates and photographs of our little boy taking part in exciting and engaging activities. Within the short time he has been attending the childcare centre we have noticed that he’s made so much development in all areas of his development. We would certainly suggest the childcare centre! Our little boy has been attending Puddle-Ducks now for almost two months.

    This Childcare centre is a hidden gem.
    The team became so quickly like family, our daughter was, straight away, feeling at home, she never cried and truly loved this place.
    We sadly had to leave as we moved away to Battersea and my only wish is to find the same Childcare centre.
    Will be a real challenge.
    The Childcare centre Manager is the soul of this Childcare centre, lively, welcoming, attentive, it transpires through the whole place.

    The only reason why she is not there any more is because we had to relocate abroad.
    The team are smiling and welcoming both with us and kids. They have the ability to take care of each kid differently, according to their own character and need.
    During the months before our departure, I have had a second kid too and the childcare centre manager supported my girl to approach the changes in the smoothest way possible. We discussed it and then she shared with the team instructing them to help my girl through all the changes in her life.
    The childcare centre manager is open to honest feedback willing to assistance and make the Childcare centre a better place for the kids. Multicultural facility able to approach multicultural families.
    For our departure they have prepared a book collection with all the moments captured since she was there at the beginning. We still look at it from time to time. Our girl has been attending at Puddle Ducks’ since she was 1 till 2 and half and loved it!

    I have now signed my daughter up for 2022 and they are having the garden redone, the plans look incredible! I have just recently had a viewing at Puddle-Ducks Childcare centre and it is a highly calm setting for the kids and I can see new resources within the rooms.

    He has thrived ever since and adores his days there. Lovely big garden, friends, varied activities. Turnover of team has been low for some time so there is consistency for the kids and team are consistently welcoming and supportive. He has truly grown and developed and they have been a huge part of this with helping to set boundaries, encouraging great manners and supporting with potty training. Adore this place! Our son started at Puddle Ducks in 2016 aged 11 months and had a tough time settling in but team were so patient and bent over backwards to help him and us.

    However, the team have been excellent from the start and he truly settled in well within a short period of time. He has developed relationships with all the team and friendships with other kids which is lovely to see. He particularly loves playing in the huge garden and bringing home any treats they have baked during the day to share with us.
    As he was a lockdown baby, I had worried that his development may have been impacted by lack of contact with other kids and playgroups, but since starting at Puddle-Ducks he has developed into a confident little boy, who has a big hug for whoever greets him in the morning. Seeing that relationship and knowing that my little boy is well cared for has been the most important aspect for me in his childcare centre setting. My little boy has been attending Puddle-Ducks since he was 12 months old and started during Covid restrictions, which was nerve-wracking for us as first-time parents.

    – for kids and parents.
    Also, updates with families in formal/informal occasions is precise and detailed. Our kid has attended this childcare centre for two years and is now leaving to go to primary school.
    Puddle Ducks is with no doubt ‘home away from home’ for kids, it is run with a highly authentic family feeling combined with high professionalism.
    This business is largely about selecting and managing the best people to look after our kids and the management is highly great at it.
    The team did a excellent job with us supporting both our kid and us parents in all phases from start to transition from room to room, understanding how critical certain phases are for a family and encouraging development in a highly secure setting.
    Early Years curriculum is explained to families and is delivered consistently with visible development in kids who are encouraged to learn in a disciplined but enjoyable way; family events (summer and Xmas parties) are occasions of engagement – and fond memories!

    Hands down delighted we went for Puddle-Ducks Childcare centre, they have been excellent since we joined and have navigated the changing landscape of Covid exceptionally well. We would highly suggest others to this childcare centre as the attentive and dedicated team are second to none! As a first-time mum, you have to put your faith into the childcare centre you choose – that they will be excellent for your kid.

    Team are welcoming and committed.
    The setting is welcoming. Their educators definitely made a difference in kids academic lives. Would suggest this school to anyone. My son is sad to leave. A big thank you to Puddle Ducks Putney. Puddle Ducks is remarkable childcare centre school who have your kid’s needs at heart and where kids are cheerful to go.

    My kid was supported highly well at Puddle-Ducks, the manager and the team have given my son a excellent start to his educational life, he was cheerful to go in every day and I am sure he misses the excellent routine that they offered him.

    This is the result of the inviting and cheerful discovering setting, with set routines that combine multiple stimulating activities throughout the day with healthy food and a nap.
    The team make the difference: they are attentive, affectionate, proactive and expert. Every kid has a key person who closely follows them and my daughter loves hers! The childcare centre manager takes exceptionally great care of the childcare centre, is highly approachable and has consistently provided concrete follow-up actions to address any request.
    Puddle Ducks offers outstanding standards of care and education and I wholeheartedly suggest it to all parents looking for a secure and cheerful place where their kids can thrive while having enjoyable! My daughter has started at Puddle Ducks in January ’17 when she was 2 and we cannot be happier for the choice we have made.
    Since joining the childcare centre my daughter has flourished in all aspects of her development, including the social, intellectual, physical aspects and in her updates skills.

    She enjoyed every moment. The team work hard to ensure there is a strong family sense as well as appropriate discovering right across all years. By the time she left my daughter knew the names of all kids and team. Now she is in reception at school and it is clear she had a great educational basis and has settled quickly. I had no hesitation to send my son to Puddle-Ducks from 11 months and I was lucky enough to tour the refreshed facilities. It’s impressive how they have reconfigured the space and encouraging to see some familiar and welcoming faces, whose positivity and energy was clear to see. I trust the Team and value their feedback and guidance. Thanks Team! My daughter was at Puddle-Ducks Childcare centre from 2019-2022.

    The garden and outdoor life is a real asset to them compared to other nurseries, also the commitment and consistent team. My kids adore it. Monday is their favourite day with football and gardening and I adore the exposure they get to every food to reduce the pressure on my cooking. Gorgeous freshened-up space that is so practical for the kids and team.

    Both of my kids have been highly cheerful there and we are sad to have left. I cannot suggest it highly enough. Two of my kids have attended the childcare centre over the last two years and we have had an overwhelmingly positive journey with all team there.
