There has been a pre-school in the Scout HQ in Wash Road since the 1960’s. Michelle Yarwood became sole proprietor of Little Ducks Pre-school in September 2009. After working there for two years, Caroline Fenwick became sole proprietor of Little Ducks Pre-school Ltd in September 2024.

Our Ethos………………..The aim of Little Ducks Pre-school is to provide a welcoming, secure and stimulating environment for children to learn through play. We work in partnership with parents to help children learn and develop whilst promoting equality and valuing diversity. We aim to support every child as an individual and encourage them on their learning journey with us and through the transition on to school.

We are registered to provide sessional care for 30 children aged 2 to 5 years. Our prospectus provides an overview of Little Ducks and a full copy of our Policies and Procedures are available to view in the setting.

We are open 9.15am-2.45pm Monday to Friday during term time only. Morning, afternoon or full day sessions available. See fees page for more details.

Curriculum

All our policies, procedures and planning are based on the themes and principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). We provide a wide variety of resources and equipment to enable children to explore different activities and encourage their development and progress across all seven areas of learning. Curriculum planning is done each week based on our themes and the children’s interests. Key person feedback at staff meetings is also included in planning to ensure that individual children’s needs are met. The parents box in the setting contains a wealth of information on the EYFS, other agencies, photos of session activities etc.
