Puddleducks prides itself on the quality of its teaching staff. They are fully committed to their roles, experienced and qualified.
 
We have a full training program in place to ensure all staff are up to date with essential training, such as, food hygiene, first aid, health and safety, child protection and SEN (special educational needs). 
 
We are also in the very fortunate position of  being able to flex up our teaching numbers to meet demand. Therefore children will always find an available place with us.
 
Our Nursery Supervisor is June Goddard, a highly qualified early years teacher, who has many years experience in working with children 2 - 5 years old.

June is also our SENCO specialist (Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator) and liaises with many outside agencies to improve the learning environment. June  commenced her Foundation Degree at Winchester University in September 2009 and has just completed her first year.
