Ducklings Pre School Group

Ducklings Preschool and Nursery has been nurturing young minds in Milton Keynes and Manchester since 2000. We believe every child is unique and deserves a tailored approach to their early learning journey. With a team of experienced and caring staff, we provide a loving, caring atmosphere in a safe and friendly environment.

Our Vision: Empowering Young Minds

Our mission is to inspire young learners and support them in reaching their full potential. We achieve this by:

• Creating a positive and stimulating learning environment: Our play-based approach encourages exploration, discovery, and a love of learning through hands-on activities and exploration.
• Providing individual support: Each child receives personalized attention from experienced educators who nurture their individual needs and learning pace.
• Promoting positive social development: We foster teamwork, empathy, and social skills through collaborative play and interaction with peers.

Supporting Children With Additional Needs

At Ducklings, we believe in inclusivity and are committed to supporting children with special educational needs. We:

• Have a team of trained SENCOs (Special Educational Needs Coordinators) and SENCO Managers to provide tailored support and resources.
• Partner with parents to create an individualized learning plan for each child.
• Implement specialist interventions and therapies when necessary.

A Partnership Between Parents and Educators

We believe in strong partnerships with parents as the primary educators of their children. We:

• Regularly share updates and observations of your child's progress through online platforms and face-to-face meetings.
• Provide updated newsletters and informative resources to support your child's learning at home.
• Host Stay and Play sessions and various events throughout the year to foster a sense of community and encourage parent involvement.
