About Puddleducks & Posh LTD

Starting our own nursery in 2023 has been a dream built on passion, experience, and a deep connection to our community.

We’ve both grown up in this area, so it holds a special place in our hearts. It’s where we played as children, went to school, and now raise our own families. Being part of this community means so much to us, and we love being able to support local families and nurture the next generation.

With many years of experience working with children, we’ve always known this is where our hearts belong. We love seeing children grow, learn, and discover the world around them, and we feel incredibly privileged to play a role in those early years.

Our journey began with a small childminding business, where we created a homely, caring environment for a handful of children. As word spread and our waiting list grew, we realised there was a real need for a nursery that offered the same warmth, personal care, and high-quality learning experiences. So we took the leap and expanded—building a team of amazing, like-minded practitioners who share our passion and values.

Today, our nursery is an extension of everything we’ve built from the beginning: a loving, supportive space where children can flourish, and parents can feel confident their little ones are in safe, capable hands.

We’re proud of how far we’ve come, and we’re excited to keep growing—with your children at the heart of everything we do.
