As a non-profit organisation, any operational surplus is reinvested into the setting, directly benefiting the children. Established under the oversight of a dedicated Parents Management Committee, the pre-school’s daily operations are managed by experienced supervisors and a team of qualified staff who uphold Ofsted-required staff-to-child ratios. The pre-school encourages parents to be actively involved, with a significant majority of the management committee comprising current parents. Ducklings has been rated as a Good Early Years setting by Ofsted in its most recent inspection. The pre-school emphasises fostering each child's unique qualities, supporting their emotional, social, and creative development, and guiding them to explore the world around them while building relationships and new abilities. They accept government early years funding, including schemes for two-year-olds and working parents of children from nine months old. Our ethos NGCA Ducklings believes that children thrive in an environment which values their own uniqueness, while providing support and opportunities to grow emotionally, socially and creatively. By building on each child's strengths, interests and curiosities, we guide each child to explore the world around them as well as develop new abilities and form close relationships. What it's like Children enter the setting eager to explore and quickly engage in activities.

Inspection #10407380 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50290524) ## What parents say Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection > Parents value the care their children receive and feel that staff understand each child's individual needs. Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Key persons gather detailed information when children start, including what they already know, can do and the areas where they need extra support. This helps staff to provide tailored care and learning experiences. However, on some occasions, planning does not always clearly identify precise next steps or targets, particularly for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Outdoor space Staff promote healthy lifestyles by giving children daily opportunities to play outdoors, enjoy fresh air and take part in physical activities that support their well-being. For example, children explore the role-play building site, balance along logs and ride wheeled toys. This helps children to develop coordination, strength and confidence in their physical abilities. ## Parent Reviews of NGCA Ducklings Pre-School 5.0 (7) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjWSv1x66ZbJ1HbceidlTpa_eEiL--j99mmtUNMizgC2wizcl_8=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Tina Cassidy 7 years ago Ducklings is an amazing preschool with a fabulous staff.
