Your child’s happy place
Established in 2007, Ducklings Childcare provide exceptional care for children ranging from birth to primary school age. We’re open 51 weeks a year, Monday to Friday, from 7:30am to 6pm (closed during Christmas, New Year, and bank holidays).
A place to belong
At Ducklings Childcare, we believe in creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where children thrive. Our team fosters a sense of respect, empathy, and appreciation for individual differences. We strive to provide a homely and caring atmosphere, ensuring your child feels right at home.
Building bridges, creating smiles
We value the partnership between parents/carers and our team. That’s why we have regular face-to-face meetings, share informative newsletters, and send out questionnaires to plan for your child’s progress and maintain strong parental relationships. Stay connected through our app for real-time updates on your child’s development.
Empowering every child
Our commitment extends to supporting children with special educational needs and disabilities through our SEND provision. We follow the guidelines of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and are proud to be registered with OFSTED, where our last inspection in April 2022 rated us as “good” in education quality, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management.
Ducklings Childcare is also a proud member of the National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA), ensuring that we maintain the highest standards of care and early education.
Our Vision & Values
At Ducklings Childcare, we provide a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment where every child is valued as an individual and supported to thrive.
Our practice is guided by the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage. We recognise each child as unique, build strong relationships with families, and create enabling environments that support learning and development.
We are committed to delivering high-quality care and education through purposeful play, supporting children to develop confidence, independence and a love of learning.
Our team works closely with parents to ensure children feel secure, make good progress and are well prepared for the next stage of their learning journey.
Join us at Ducklings Childcare, where your child’s growth, happiness, and development are our top priorities. Contact us today to arrange a visit or to learn more about our exceptional childcare services.
