Congratualtions to teacher Andy for being crowned as our Autumn/Winter Star Teacher Award WINNER!!! ⭐
Since joining the Puddle Ducks team, almost at the very beginning, it’s been Andy’s ability to connect with each child that has made him a hit with children and parents alike!
The winning nomination came from Sophia & Alina who swim with Andy at Strathmore @ Grey Court School
“Some people can teach, but others have a special gift for connecting with each child, inspiring them, and making them feel at ease with their positive energy. Andy is one of those rare, truly passionate teachers.Water activities don’t come easily to all children, but Andy makes it an experience that they don’t want to end. My daughter listens closely to everything he says and enjoys every class, and we always look forward to the next class. With Andy, kids are engaged, and parents feel heard. I can't recommend his classes enough!'
The winning nomination was chosen by by Neetha Madrira, Nursery Manager at The Mall School in Twickenham. “Andy stood out to me for his patience, encouragement, and the positive bond he has with the children he teaches. Teaching children to swim is so special, and to bring positivity to the role and make children feel encouraged and supported, makes Andy fully deserving of the title of star teacher!”.

"Natasha is the best teacher we have experienced. She always greets everyone with a smile and warm energy creating an enjoyable, relaxed, environment immediately about the class. She has a natural, kind, warmth with the kids, taking careful attention to get to know each of them individually so everyone feels like they're being personally taught. With Natasha, I feel confidence in her ability and know we'll enjoy the class. That's so special and important in these young, impressionable years, for swimming."
