Welcome to our Puddleduck Preschool in Priory Road, Ascot
Natalie
Nursery Manager
Puddleduck Preschool is a cherished childcare provider in Ascot, dedicated to creating a warm, home-from-home environment where children can thrive, learn, and grow every day.
Welcome to Puddleduck Preschool in Ascot, where our team would love to welcome your family and help your child flourish in our beautiful setting. We emphasise nurturing each child’s unique talents and learning experiences.
Our Puddleduck Preschool on Priory Road is an ideal setting for children aged three and four. With well-resourced playrooms and an abundance of outdoor space, we provide regular opportunities for free-flow play, encouraging children to explore, learn, and thrive in a rich outdoor environment.
For younger children, our sister nursery, Puddleduck St Martin’s is just a few minutes away.
Our location
Our lovely Ascot nursery is nestled within the historic Ascot Priory, where Puddleduck Preschool enjoys the beauty of private grounds surrounded by 40 acres of wonderful woodlands and gardens in North Ascot. We’re conveniently close to London Road and just under ten minutes from both Ascot and Bracknell train stations, making it perfect for commuting families!
About Our Ascot Childcare
Curriculum
Play is at the heart of our curriculum. Our nurturing team gently guides each of our children to explore the world around them in the safety of our private grounds, to ensure they develop a love for nature and let their imaginations run wild.
Our preschool embraces the benefits of Forest School, led by a qualified practitioner who nurtures a natural curiosity and love for the outdoors. This enriching experience not only nurtures children’s curiosity but also inspires learning and development in equal measure.
Your child will develop a deep appreciation for nature and their surroundings as they explore our beautiful private woodlands alongside our team. They’ll experience the joy of bug hunting, building dens and campfires, collecting eggs from the chickens, visiting the horses, and so much more.
Exploring nature helps build confidence and independence, enhances physical fitness, supports mental well-being, and can even improve sleep patterns.
Team
Our preschool team is highly qualified, experienced, and dedicated, providing exceptional care and learning opportunities to support your child’s development.
Our wonderful staff provide loving and supportive childcare for your child each day, with two SENCo practitioners to ensure every child is included and has their individual needs met.
We also have a Forest School qualified practitioner and an on-site chef to provide nutritious and tasty meals.
Parent Partnership
We use the nursery app to keep families connected with their child’s daily activities, meals, milestones, and more. This user-friendly platform provides easy access to photos, notes from our team, and important updates. It also allows for seamless communication, making it easier for families to ask questions and stay informed about special events and reminders. Our nursery app plays a key role in ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for all families.
We have a lending library for our families to borrow books and read at home together. We also provide different learning packs for our children to take home and continue their learning at home. In our welcome area parents are invited to enjoy a coffee and snack from the snack bowl, filled with fruit and cereal bars, for everyone needing breakfast on the move.
We celebrate many cultural and seasonal events including harvest festival, Halloween and Christmas.
Playrooms
Our nursery has a large well-resourced playroom with high quality toys and activities, including a large kitchen and role play area, construction area, arts and crafts, sand and water play trays, a quiet corner and much more.
We have free-flow access into our beautiful private gardens so our children can choose where they play during their extended day. We also have a separate room for children who need to play in a quieter space, with sensory toys to access their natural curiosity.
Garden
Our children have free-flow access to our dedicated preschool garden and a forest school which we use extensively everyday. We have mud kitchens in both play areas where we encourage children to explore nature and develop their confidence outdoors.
We have a fabulous planting area where we grow herbs and flowers with the children and a decked area with toys. We often take the children for walks within the grounds of the preschool, where we enjoy visiting the horses and collecting our chickens eggs.
Activities and enrichment
We offer a wide range of enriching activities designed to inspire curiosity and joy. Children enjoy opportunities to take part in forest school sessions, cooking, sport, music, gardening, yoga and language learning. These experiences support physical development, creativity, communication skills and overall wellbeing within a nurturing early years environment.
