Ducklings News

Hello from Lauren, Angie, Linda and all the Ducklings!

Hello to all our Ducklings. And a big welcome to Grace, Harrison, Emily and Max our new ducklings who are all settling in well, and our sleep area is soooo cosy now it's like a little bedroom!! Happy 1st birthday this month to Ellie-Mae, James, Gladstone, James Stephenson & Maddison Edmond, lots of parties to have, yum birthday cake. Lauren will be busy baking this month.

All the ducklings enjoyed doing the displays in the room, had some very messy days painting, glueing and stocking and playing with glup. You will always hear music in the duckling room, every duckling joins in and loves dancing with Kim. We have had lots of fun since the last time we wrote. We will write again soon from ...
