My son has really enjoyed his time at Ducklings Private Nursery Sutton Coldfield. He has enjoyed being there for the past two years. There has been a wide range of activities that have engaged him with activities tailored to preparing him for school more recently.

Both my son and daughter have now been to Ducklings Private Nursery Sutton Coldfield. The staff work hard with the children to bring out their strengths with the early learning goals in literacy, numeracy and understanding the world etc. I always know how my child is doing with their learning from updates
on the nursery app and given overall feedback on how they have been through the day at pick up.

Ducklings Private Nursery is a great nursery with helpful and friendly staff. My son settled into Ducklings very well with the help of all the lovely staff.
They plan lots of exciting activities such as a Jubilee party, and rugby tots to keep my son entertained. I love that I can be informed by text
and photos of what my son did in the nursery.
The administration is good too, with quick responses with clean answers. I definitely will keep my son in the nursery until reception.

As I am a first-time Mum I was not quite sure about leaving my son alone for so long, but I have to say Ducklings made him feel so welcome, that I lost any concerns shortly after starting. The whole team is super friendly and positive. It is great to see what amazing games they always play with the
kids, already in the baby room and even more now in toddlers. Now that my son is talking, he tells me every morning that he wants to go to daycare. So yes I can highly recommend Ducklings for your kids, I am sure they will love it.

My son has learned many new things in Ducklings, I am always amazed by everything interesting they teach the children. The staff are very nice and friendly and my son is always happy to go to nursery and see everyone there. His communication skills and his English have improved and Ducklings' staff
have been very helpful with preparing children to transition to primary school. I definitely recommend Ducklings and my younger child will join them as soon as she is old enough.

My eldest daughter started this term at Little Ducklings and from the first day has thoroughly enjoyed her time there. She loves the staff and the varied activities keep her occupied. There is a real interest in helping her to develop.

It is with a heavy heart I write this review however Ducklings has changed drastically in the two years my child has attended. I cannot fault the care and nurturing my child has received from the amazing members of staff, however, the owner's actions and behaviours at times are questionable. There has
been a high turnover of staff leaving very few original teachers. Based on our experience, there is no way I would send my younger child to Ducklings.

Reply from Medusa Sojourn, Owner at Ducklings Private Nursery Sutton Coldfield

Hi. Glad you are amazed at the service provided over the 2yrs+ you were with us.
I apologise if you found my actions "questionable" if you had raised your concerns with me I could have addressed my errors? Sometimes having to draw hard lines makes me unpopular.


Staff turnover is normal in a nursery this small, those members had served 6+ years.


Having cared for 500+ children in the 10 years we've been open I assure you that newer members of the team will give you the same service.

Ducklings has always been a welcoming, friendly environment that is flexible around individual needs.
I feel that if ever I have an issue or a question I can comfortably ask and am confident I get the help/support that I need.
My son loves coming and now that his speech has picked up loads it's great
to hear him tell me of all the wonderful things he gets up to at nursery.

Our youngest two daughters attend Ducklings Nursery.
They both enjoy it so much and we can see the progression they have made socially and academically.
The staff are so caring and attentive and both girls speak highly of them all.

Our child moved into day nursery as a very new experience. Over the past 6 weeks, they have built confidence socially and we believe this is down to the approach and experience of the nursery and its staff. We feel in touch through the childzone app and updated through parents evening - where staff
are in no rush to move to their next appointment. We are excited about the coming months and the enthusiasm of our child coming out more and more.

My son really enjoys going to nursery. He often talks about the teachers and the children with a really positive outlook. I can tell when he has learnt something new as he often comes home with a new song or tells me what he's been doing that day. My son has developed a strong bond with the teachers
at Little Ducklings which shows me how much they must care about the children. Overall I'm very happy with the decision I took to send my son to Little Ducklings and I'm confident that he is set for starting reception in September.

Really happy with the setting Ducklings Private. I am really impressed with the approachability of the staff and the genuine care they have for each child.


I cannot thank the nursery enough for the foundation and a perfect mix of playing/learning whilst my son has been in their care.
