MOTHER DUCKS

As a small community pre-school, we have a high-level of qualified practitioners with a wealth of experience looking after the village children. We are extremely proud of our setting, particularly our SENCO department.  These factors have a positive impact on our children when transitioning into Reception Years.

The topics they use are engaging and Show and Tell every week helps us be involved. They plan incredible school trips.  We are kept up to date with Charlotte’s learning and development well through meetings with her keyworker.  We love seeing her learning journal and know that we could speak to her keyworker at any point.

All the staff are incredible and clearly have a love for their work which is easy to see from the happy children.
