HUGE congratulations to Julia who has won our Spring 2023 Star Teacher Award with a well deserved nomination chosen by Kim from Hartbeeps Barnsley, Penistone & Wakefield. Kim had the very difficult job of picking the best (all were anonymised) from over 80 nominations that came in for our fabulous teachers!
Kim said "What wonderful comments about your teachers and your company. You must be very proud of yourself and your team at Puddle Ducks. This nomination just ums up Puddle Ducks
completely! It’s very baby/child led and that’s what I personally love about it. Thank you for asking me to be a judge, I feel very honoured"
The winning nomination was sent in by Carly & Charlotte Hannard ...
"Julia is AMAZING! She encourages and pushes where she knows she can, but also offers reassurance and allows the children to be in control. She has worked wonders with my child, I’m amazed at what she can do at just 3 and this is down to Julia!
When my little one is not feeling it, Julia offers her support but doesn’t push, this is so important, not to scare! My little one is so proud of her swimming and tells EVERYONE that Julia is her teacher, she’s very proud!"
Thank you so much to you both, what a lovely nomination. We are super proud to have Julia on our teaching team, we think she is amazing too :-) xx
