At Ducklings, we strive to create an outstanding, loving, caring atmosphere in a safe and friendly environment. Fantastic nursery, my daughter has been coming here for 6 months and she's come on so much, the staff genuinely care about the children and give them the best care possible and their activities are fantastic! Management are very involved in everything and are very approachable, I get detailed feedback daily from my child's key worker, highly recommended!

We strive to support all children to enable them to achieve their best. In order to do this many steps are taken to support them through their learning journeys, and on occasions, for some children, further positive support may be needed to help achieve their full potential.
Furthermore, Ducklings is proud to announce that each of our sites has a named SENCO (Special Educational Needs Co-Ordinator), as well as TWO company SENCO Managers, Michelle and Becky, who further supports all the sites.Together, these Coordinators and Managers play vital roles in supporting to ensure that a child's individual needs are met.

The aim of our curriculum is to equip children with the skills and knowledge they need to explore and understand the world around them. We believe that children grow and develop when they have access to a well thought out learning environment and engaged adults. The teaching and learning of new skills and knowledge are delivered through both adult and child-led opportunities both indoors and outdoors.
The EYFS is the statutory Early Years curriculum. This is mandatory for all schools, settings and childminders to follow from birth up to the end of the reception. The EYFS sets out our legal obligations regarding things like an adult: child ratios, suitable people, safeguarding and welfare, staff qualifications, and learning and development.

Both my sons attended ducklings preschool and now my daughter attends Oldbrook ducklings, she settled in really well and i would put that down to the nursery staff being warm and welcoming to her. I’m also kept in the loop with daily messages, pictures and videos with what’s she’s been doing through the early years log app, She looks forward to going to nursery and comes home happy!
