Parent’s Comments
Here are some comments that we have received from our most recent parent feedback:
“My son has only been at Puddleducks for a short time but has really settled well and is enjoying it. I was worried as he had such a break from nursery last year but I can tell he is happy already. The staff are great, lots of activities and trips to the park. Also very reassuring to get real time updates and photos on the app. I would recommend the nursery!” Joanne. R 2021
“We didn’t even review other places when we chose this nursery. We went for word of mouth from family and friends.
From the very start, our daughter has been well looked after and the staff can’t do enough for her. She looks for to going “big school” as she puts it and comes out smiling everyday.
From bills to updates on the Famly app, to extra help when needed, I cannot fault Puddleducks at all, and we will continue the good word of mouth.” Chris. H 2021
