Our Story
Laying down the foundation for a solid education for 26 years
Ducklings was founded in 2000 with a simple goal - to give children the best possible start in life. For over 26 years, we've provided high quality early years education in a loving and stimulating environment, helping children grow in confidence, make friends and discover their potential.
​
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), an HR Manager, and 3 Compliance Managers/Area Managers, who further support all the sites. Together, these coordinators and managers play vital roles in supporting to ensure that the child’s individual needs are met.

Our Future Aims
At Ducklings we care about your child. We are focused on making sure transitions to school go as smoothly as possible!
​
Each site works closely with local schools to ensure all relevant transition supporting documents are completed and relayed to the school of your choice to ensure a positive transition. Where possible, the school Teachers are encouraged to visit the setting and meet the children.
Fundraising & Giving Back to our Communities
At Ducklings Preschool, we believe that fostering a spirit of giving and empathy from an early age is crucial. Through our fundraising efforts for both local and national charities, we teach our preschoolers the value of helping others, nurturing a community-minded approach that they will carry with them throughout their lives.

Working with You
We believe in open, regular communication with our parents and carers.
We acknowledge that parents and/or carers are the first educators of children; therefore, we prioritise working in partnership with parents and/or carers.
This strong bond is paramount to children’s learning and development. We achieve this through face-to-face updates, regular updates of observations on Class Dojo, up-to-date newsletters, fun Stay and Play sessions where parents and carers can enjoy time at Ducklings playing for the day, along with various fundraising events, and a wide variety of celebrations throughout the year.
​
We are also proud to have a ton of free and easy-to-access resources and information on our website - which can be found by clicking here.
