Little Ducklings Day Nursery
Welcome to Little Ducklings Day Nursery Garstang Limited set in 10 acres of beautiful Lancashire countryside. Incorporated on a working farm the children have the opportunity to experience nature and its environment.
We have 2 rooms within our setting. The Ducklings room caters for children aged 3 months to 2 years and the Mallard room has children from 2 years to 5 years. Learning takes place within safe secure and enriching environments both indoors and out.
All the staff at Little Ducklings Day Nursery are highly qualified and dedicated to the learning and development of all our children.
Please see our Links page for our latest OFSTED report from our recent December 2018 inspection.
OFSTED key finding for parents include -
'Children develop a close bond and secure relationship with their key person. They come into the nursery happily and readily separate from their parents and carers. Children's individual needs and parents' wishes are followed closely by the wellqualified and experienced staff team. '
'Staff place a strong emphasis on promoting older children's communication and language, emotional well-being, mathematics and early literacy skills. They successfully introduce specialised programmes which engage children effectively and build on their confidence, behaviour and speaking skills. This helps children to gain the skills that prepare them for their eventual move on to school.'
' Partnerships with parents and other professionals is strong. Staff keep parents and carers' regularly updated with children's achievements. They regularly share information about children's next steps to further support their learning and to meet children's individual needs successfully in nursery and at home. '

Safeguarding
Keeping children safe is a paramount consideration for all staff here at Little Ducklings. We believe all children have the right to be cared for, nutured, loved and protected from any form of harm. As a nursery we have a duty of care to liaise with any other agency we deem necessary in relation to the care of a child.
We are also here to support you as a parent. There are some fantastic resources available to assist you with different aspects of being a parent. The Children's Safeguarding Assurance Partnership website has some fantastic advice on keeping your child safe online and safer sleep (link on our links page)
