# Puddle Ducks North Hampshire and Reading
Puddle Ducks is a specialist baby and child swimming school operating across North Hampshire and Reading, including locations in Bagshot, Caversham, Tilehurst, Sonning Common, Wokingham, Reading, Bracknell and Basingstoke. Led by owner Lizzie Moore, the business delivers progressive swimming tuition for infants from birth through to primary school age.
The company operates two core programmes. Their Baby & Pre-school offering (0-4 years) is entirely child-led, making it the only national baby swim school with this philosophy. Classes are kept deliberately small with a maximum of ten children, held in warm pools and incorporating music, rhyme and movement based on child development research. The progressive curriculum builds water confidence organically, with many children able to swim over 10 metres before starting school.
For older children, Swim Academy (ages 4-10) focuses on developing efficient swimming technique alongside essential water safety and lifesaving skills. Classes remain small to ensure individualised support matched to each child's age and ability, combining practice with engaging, varied activities designed to maintain enthusiasm and challenge.
What distinguishes Puddle Ducks is their evidence-based, child-centred approach and their commitment to small class sizes. Rather than forcing progression, instructors follow each child's developmental readiness, creating a positive, confident relationship with water. With a 5.0/5.0 rating from 47 customer reviews, the school has built strong local reputation for quality instruction and genuine care for child development.
