Kirsty, Area Manager
"Ducklings is an amazing company to work for being a small family run business that has been operating for over 23 years. In the 5 years I have worked with ducklings they have helped me do my level 3, become a deputy and now I have been given the opportunity to become manager and run my own site. The owners and area managers are always at hand to help and give support whenever you need it!"

Charlotte, Head Office
"I enjoy working at Ducklings because I have been supported in different roles and given fantastic opportunities.
During my time here at Ducklings I have enjoyed every moment, through all the ups and downs, thanks to all the support we have.
I have had plenty of opportunities to advance my knowledge through online and in person training. Since stepping into my management role i have seen a different side of things, we have a very supportive and friendly management team and it’s great we can all share and bounce ideas of one another...
...We also support each other which is great in having a team of managers so I don’t feel like I’m alone in this. I am always acknowledged for my hard work and dedication and if I ever need help or advice there is always someone I can contact. I enjoy coming into work everyday due to the fact I do have a great team that I work within and of course the little Ducklings!
My voice is heard and ideas are welcomed, and above all else achievements are noticed and we are made to feel appreciated.

Indeed,
Preschool Assistant
"Working for ducklings this past year and a half has been the best in my career, I have made great relationships with the children and within the team. We have great structure and communication and work well together; the children seem happy, and content and I love being able to show my childish side sometimes at work making all the children laugh with my silly voices. I have found my passion working with children and Ducklings gave me that opportunity which I will forever be grateful for.

Katie, Practitioner
"Managers are great and listen to staff. They are always ready with advice and support.
There's a relaxed feel and the staff members get on well and work as hard as each other.
There's always someone to help you out with a tricky task and people willing to take over a role e.g song time, if something comes up for you"
