About this day nursery

Puddleducks Day Nursery, situated in Amesbury adjacent to Amesbury C of E Primary School, delivers exceptional childcare and early years education within an engaging and stimulating setting for children aged 3 months to 5 years. The nursery is committed to upholding high standards of care and learning, providing a distinct environment that nurtures children's development both indoors and outdoors.

The dedicated and enthusiastic staff team, who are well-qualified, work under the manager's guidance. The curriculum and teaching approaches are designed to foster self-esteem and independence, preparing children to become happy, confident individuals in society.

Puddleducks recognises the unique qualities of each child, making this individuality central to its philosophy. The nursery features four distinct rooms, each equipped with its own facilities and tailored for specific age groups: "The Nest" for infants aged 3 months to 2 years, "Ducklings" for toddlers aged 2 to 3 years, and "Ducks" for pre-schoolers aged 3 years until they start school.

All rooms have direct access to outdoor spaces, encouraging children to move freely between indoor and outdoor learning environments throughout the year. The nursery is also developing a woodland area at the front of the premises for Forest School sessions, accessible to all ages and potentially to other childcare providers.

My poor child experienced a negative time here and it has really affected him going forward. Asked for more to be done in order to help him but they were quicker to dismiss and we had to find somewhere else. Really confused my child and yet still mentions this place, but not in a positive way. "Accidents" happened, but the way our son has been tormented by them, we feel they may not have been "accidents". I don't like leaving negative reviews but I wouldn't trust this nursery

Don't want to give 1 star but have to so I can post, this place deserves 0. Such a poor setting. Quick to point out problems/differences but not forth coming with advice or guidance. They don't like being told if you have noticed concerns and raise them with staff. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE IF THEY HAVE DIFFICULTIES (SEN/SEND) THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!! They have messed our child's head up after 7-8months of stress.
