Curriculum
Puddle-Ducks Nursery strives for excellence and parents can be confident that their child will receive a quality caring experience that supports development and learning in a tailored way.

By adopting the Early Years Foundation Framework, each child follows a learning and development plan best suited to their individual needs.  The curriculum focuses on the following themes:
  • The Unique Child: Every child is a competent learner from birth who can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.
  • Positive Relationships: Children learn to be capable and independent from a base of caring and secure relationships.
  • Enabling Environments: The environment plays a key role in supporting and extending children's development and learning.
  • Learning and Development: Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates and all areas of Learning and Development are equally important and inter-connected.
Puddle Ducks is working towards exceeding the learning and development standards set by the Department for Education. Each child’s progress will be monitored, supported and encouraged.

Our large leafy garden provides an excellent playground and resource for children to develop their motor skills, explore and discover nature by growing their own flowers and vegetables.

As a progressive nursery, all of our staff either hold a childcare qualification, such as the National Vocational Qualification or Diploma in Nursery Nursing or are working towards one of these qualifications. We believe that all our staff should have the right level of knowledge, skills and competency to be able to deal with the ever-changing needs of the children we care for. We ensure that all our staff are committed to continual professional development to the highest standard.
