Overall Experience

The staff often move the furniture around and my child is fascinated by exploring the room and never gets bored. We often have the opportunity to join children during events such as reading books for children, Valentine's party etc. I appreciate the daily report of what my child did during the day and

also through the app I can see how much he ate from lunch, how my child is doing, which I appreciated during settle days.

I am so pleased I found this place!
It's been few months since my child started the nursery but it didn't take long to see positive impact it had for my little one!
Amazing staff who are dedicated to keep your child busy, help them learn and find their interests whilst building relationships with

the little ones.
I receive updates throughout the day with pictures and information regarding food/naps etc and any emergency would reported straightaway! I also have a quick chat with staff at the end of the day!
I am very grateful for everything the nursery staff do for my child and I appreciate their hard work! Puddleduck nursery keep doing an amazing work!

Overall Experience

The staff in the Acorn room are so wonderful!! They really engage well with the children and teach them from such a young age. My 2 year old loves going to nursery everyday as there are so many different activities such as baking, painting, reading etc. The extra mile the staff go to make us all feel

welcome and part of the family is just a blessing. Every week "play ball" will visit and my little boy gets so happy knowing he will visit that day and have their PE lesson - thank you!

Overall Experience

I could not speak highly enough of the staff and Puddleduck Day Nursery in Ascot. We viewed 10 nurseries in the area and we instantly felt the calm and lovely atmosphere as we walked through the door. This is a nursery with a home-from-home environment. The staff are all so lovely and dedicated to their

job. They always put the children first and have given the best support to the parents in the process of settling in. They are honest, and kind and do the most amazing activities with all the children. Look no further if you want to send your child to a loving and caring nursery where you will see the kids thriving. I could not be more happy with our choice and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking. Our little one absolutely loves it and it's the best feeling as a parent to see your child living his best life at nursery.

Overall Experience

I cannot recommend Puddleduck Preschool in Ascot highly enough! Both of my children attend, with one in the baby room and one in the older room. My daughter has been going since she was 10 months old and will soon be heading off to big school! She has already told me she doesn't want to go and leave

her friends and teachers! Puddleducks have made such an impact on her in so many ways; she's full of confidence, she's polite, she's helpful, her literacy and mathematics skills have developed, her physical capability has developed thanks to extra opportunities like playball and she absolutely loves forest school. I cannot speak highly enough about all of the teachers, they are the most accommodating, friendly, warm group of people. The food is nutritious and varied and the activities are endless, with plenty for the children to do during the day, in a stunning environment. Both children are thriving at Puddleducks and I could not be happier with my choice of nursery for them. Thank you Puddleduck!

Overall Experience

My daughter is now our second child to have attended Puddleduck Preschool in Ascot after our first daughter went there when we moved into the area. Our eldest daughter who first attended the nursery was nervous due to the new area and new friends but she became settled very quickly. She made strong

friendships and loved all of the staff.
My daughter who currently attends can be shy when meeting new people, but she absolutely adores all of the staff and children and can happily be herself there. She loves the mixture of outdoor and indoor activities, especially forest school and play ball. This nursery has the perfect balance of learning and playing that has seen both of my daughters flourish. I would highly recommend!

Reply from Robyn Hattingh, Marketing Team Lead at Puddleduck Preschool in Ascot (Priory Road)

Thank you for your review of Puddleduck Preschool in Ascot. How lovely to read about how you have experienced both of your children's educational journeys with us! We are so grateful and proud to have been a part and continue to be a part, of their time with us. It is truly a privilege to see them grow and flourish. We absolutely love what we do and our team is passionate about providing exceptional childcare and education.

Overall Experience

My daughter absolutely loves coming to Puddleducks Preschool, and it has done her a world of good for her social and personal development.
The management team and the team have created such a stimulating, fun and constructive environment for my child to develop, learn, make new friends and get prepared

for the world of school.
We get regular updates on how she's interacting with others and progressing in her key skills - with personalised updates for new activities that she's been trying to help with literacy, numeracy and problem solving.
She talks about preschool, her keyworkers and the friends that she's made constantly at home to anyone who will listen, and can't wait until she's next there! We will definitely be sending our son when he is ready to attend too.

We cannot wait to welcome your son and be a part of his wonderful journey too.

My child settled in from the very first day because the staff are so caring and kind and the activities are always engaging and fun. The chef also goes out of her way to make meals healthy and nutritious and cater to any child's needs. I really can't recommend Puddleduck Preschool enough! The icing

on the cake is the forest school which my child enjoys - especially toasting marshmallows on the open fire!

My son has been attending Puddleducks since August and has come on a long way since then. They've helped his confidence grow and all members of have staff have formed a bond with him. They do one-on-one time with him to help his speech improve and they give daily updates/ photos on an app which is nice

to see when I'm working. The outdoor space is incredible. I have nothing but positive things to say about the preschool. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
