Our learning ethos is child centered and overall our aim is to build children’s confidence and encourage them to develop skills and creativity by experimentation. With increased confidence, children are able to tackle new experiences and ask questions without fear of judgment.
We offer a variety of childcare options to suit different family needs, with daily, weekly, and session-based rates available. Our team is always happy to provide guidance and help you choose the best package for your child.
We welcome children using government-funded childcare schemes to support families.
Eligible children can benefit from 15 hours of free early years education each week.
Families may access 30 hours of funded childcare for working parents of eligible children.
Healthy eating is a core part of our day. We provide:
Menus are shared with parents, and we encourage healthy food habits from an early age.
Yoga, and cooking.
It is very common for children to miss their parents. Our staff are very attentive, and it is our top priority to make sure all children feel safe and happy whilst at Little Ducklings. We also welcome parents and children in for settling in sessions prior to their start date to ensure we know your child well.
Please feel free to call us as many times as you need to throughout your child’s day to find out how they are getting on.
It is an online profile – EYlog, which showcases your child’s achievements, next steps and general fun things we have been doing. This will contain photographs and observations that will link to the EYFS, Montessori, Development Matters curriculum to ensure your child is meeting their relevant targets/goals.
Parents can also contribute by adding photographs and observations and this can be used to add to your child’s learning journey or individual action plans and can also be used as a talking point at circle time.
