Helping you to make your special time last even longer…that’s the Puddle Ducks’ difference
We like to make life fun and easy for our Puddle Ducks customers, so here are some local places we think you and your children may like. You could even meet up before or after the class with your Puddle Ducks classmates.
Closest Café:
- One of the reasons this pool is so perfect for your Puddle Ducks swimming journey is that it has its own on-site cafe- "Trent Brew". It is run by college students too, making it a brilliant commercial venture for them. So after your lesson, why not grab a cuppa or a coffee with your new class mates? Perfect for little ones to have a snack after their lesson too.
Closest Soft-Play:
- Cheeky Chimps is a funtastic indoor adventure play centre, with areas set aside for the under five’s and a dedicated baby and toddler area.
- The Play Barn at Pink Pig Farm, offers ‘fantastic farmyard food, fun and family frolics!’ If the weather is nice, take a tractor ride and see the animals and enjoy the outdoor play area. If it’s rainy, the soft play area offers lots to keep your little one entertained. Something for everyone!
Other Local Attractions:
- Normanby Hall Country Park has 300 beautiful acres to explore so is perfect for a short walk. Plus it has play areas, a museum and a Splash Pad (open during the summer only) and is home to Go Ape. Normanby Hall also has regular family events throughout the year.
