About this day nursery

Puddleducks Day Nursery, established in 2012, provides childcare for children aged 0-4 years. 30am to 6pm, excluding bank holidays, it offers a warm and welcoming environment where children arrive eagerly and settle in with ease.

The nursery received a 'Good' rating in its latest Ofsted inspection on 13th July 2023. Children form close bonds with staff and develop confidence and independence.

The educational programme is clear and sequenced, with staff adapting interactions to meet individual learning needs. This approach ensures all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress.

The nursery effectively supports children with SEND, working with other agencies and providing one-to-one care when needed. Staff focus strongly on developing communication and language skills through consistent interaction, modelling language, and introducing new words.

Outdoor learning is also encouraged, with children of different age groups playing and socialising together in the garden. Children learn about their community through outings to local shops and farms, and literacy is fostered through library visits and shared reading.

My daughter has been attending Puddleducks since she was 1 year old, and she’s now nearly 3. From the very first day, the staff have been absolutely wonderful – caring, attentive, helpful, and supportive. In this time, my daughter has flourished; she’s learned so much and has grown into an independent, sociable, and caring little girl. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to everyone. A big thank you to all the amazing ladies who work so hard to keep our children safe, cared for, nurtured, and entertained! 🩷

Absolutely fantastic nursery. My eldest daughter started at Puddleducks 11 years ago. My second daughter now goes to the Hednesford setting and I wouldn’t choose any other nursery. Fantastic team who genuinely care about all the children. Would highly recommend :)
