From the Puddleducks Nursery & Pre-School
This is Puddleducks Nursery & Pre-School, and welcome. Jackie Manley, the school's founder, started Puddleduck Nursery School in Colmworth back in 2005. Our journey toward a growing love and enthusiasm for childcare began here. Jenny, the Deputy and Room Leader for the Owls, began working there in May 2005. Georgina, the Room Leader for the Butterflies, began working there in 2008. In 2009, when Emma (also a director) was working as a substitute, she joined Puddleducks. Sadly, Jackie eventually made the decision to sell the nursery in 2015, and it was acquired by a chain nursery before being shut down in 2020.
