Our son joined Wendy's Little Ducklings at 9 months old and we have been thrilled with their care of him ever since. Warm and welcoming, Wendy and her team make the children feel comfortable and supported in their home environment. They curate interesting activities that engage and challenge the children to help them progress towards their individual developmental goals. The close personal attention they give each child means our son has been supported every step of the way, from weaning to potty training and writing skills. We are kept fully informed about our son's day and any issues are shared with us promptly. Our son has thrived in their care - making great friends and learning key skills while having a wonderful time. We feel very grateful to have found Wendy's Little Ducklings and strongly recommend them.

From the moment I dropped my son off at just six months old, I have felt completely at ease with Wendy and Alice. They have truly grown alongside my son and supported him in flourishing in all the best ways. Through their care, he has developed lovely manners, strong friendships, and deep bonds with Wendy’s family that feel very much like his own. In fact, just the other day he referred to them as his “second family,” which says everything.
Now at 3½ and ready for reception, my son has gained so much from his time with Wendy and Alice. He can write his name, has developed early maths skills, and has excellent social skills from playing with children of different ages, especially the little ones.
If you’re looking for childcare that is small, nurturing, full of love, and truly feels like a family setting, this is it. I will be forever grateful to Wendy and Alice for the role they played in helping me raise my son during the first three years of his life.

My son was in Wendy and Alice’s care from 10 months old until he was two and a half. As a first time mum, I was naturally very anxious about putting him into a childcare setting, but Wendy quickly put my mind at ease.
My son absolutely loved being with Wendy. They are genuinely lovely people, and I always felt that Wendy truly cared about my son as an individual. He absolutely thrived while he was in her care. He always came home happy, and when I dropped him off he would run straight in without looking back, excited to see her. I think that speaks volumes.
As a first time mum who probably overthought everything, nothing was ever too much trouble for Wendy. She was always kind, patient and reassuring, and we will always be incredibly grateful for the love and care she showed our son.
My son has now been at preschool for a year, and he still often asks about Wendy and when he can go back to see her. That alone says everything. Wendy is more than just a childminder. She has been a huge part of my son’s early childhood, and we will definitely be keeping in touch.
