What our
parents say...
Play through learning
Our indoor space is organised each week into a specific theme giving the children a chance to explore, dress up, be creative, listen to stories and play with fun learning and play toys. Learn more about our activities.
Our fantastic outdoor space includes a forest school area, an area for bikes and scooters, grass for physical play as well as an area with a mud kitchen and an Eco garden. Find out more.
As a charity, we raise money each year to enable us to take the children on adventures around the village and to locations such as the theatre and Roarr! Read about latest events.

The children have used chopsticks to eat their snack, especially enjoying the noodles, prawn crackers and home made sweet and sour sauce from Debbie
First week of 2020
Last month we were very lucky to be visited in group by one of our parents and committee members Audrey Costa who just happens to be a dentist. The children absolutely loved the chance to play dentists while learning how to look after their own teeth. Here’s what Audrey has to say about her visit along with a great guide for parents on caring for our little one’s teeth.

Getting ready for school
As parents we all worry about the best ways to help get our children prepared for school. But when it comes to primary school readiness, it’s not so much the academic side of things that we as parents should be focusing on but instead it’s our responsibility to help our little one’s perfect their social skills and emotional competence, along with ensuring they know the routines and rules associated with starting at big boy or big girl school. At Puddleducks Preschool, we also see our role as helping your children make that big step.
