About Puddle Ducks Nurseries
Puddle Ducks are two new Nurseries recently opened in the East Sussex countryside. Salehurst is a picturesque village on a working farm, with an all weather garden, farm paddock and old converted stable. Hurst Green is a village nursery, set in a former chapel, with wrap-around gardens on the cusps of acres of Sussex countryside. Our nurseries are perfect for babies and preschool children who would flourish in a smaller, quieter, rural setting with plenty of outside activities
Things to consider
We’ll arrange a first aid training course and DBS check for you.
