Puddleducks Playgroup

We aim to offer the highest quality childcare to support children's development with a highly qualified and dedicated staff team. We meet the children's needs as individuals and within groups as a provider of sessional care. The children will be encouraged to participate in a variety of activities that will promote all areas of learning and care. We believe children learn through play.

Separate measures from the charity's own returns and accounts, each with its year. Read them together: no single measure says how well a charity is run.

From the charity's annual return to the Charity Commission, which asks every charity with income over £10,000 how much came from government grants and contracts. It does not say which part of government. These totals are separate from the named funders read from its accounts and the grants published on 360Giving, and are not added to them.

No grants to this charity appear in 360Giving data.

Only funders that publish their grants to 360Giving are included, and many do not. These are amounts funders awarded, which can differ from what the charity received in a given year, so they are shown apart from the accounts figures above.

4 trustees run the charity.
