Meet the Team

 Ashleigh Turton

Pre-School Manager (currently on maternity leave)

Hi, I’m Ashleigh and I have around 14 years experience in the early years sector.

It has been an absolute pleasure to have spent more than 8 of those years here at Puddleducks.

I love to join the children on their adventures, seeing all the wonderful things they are learning about and following their development.

Sue Richardson

Pre-School Administrator 

Hello, I'm Sue. I started working at Puddleducks in September 2008. Before that, I served on the committee for just under 4 years, so I have seen the pre-school from several perspectives; parent, committee member and now as an employee. I enjoy working in Early Years as

young children have an ability to make your day full of fun and surprises and no two days are the same.
