We are thrilled to announce our incredible Senior Teacher Emma as our Autumn 2025 Star Teacher WINNER!!!
The winning nomination came from Sophie who swims with her little one Emily. Sophie said:
"I enthusiastically nominate Emma for her outstanding dedication to Puddle Ducks swim instruction. While my baby has progressed significantly in the past month, our specific experience during a courtesy class with Emma was truly exceptional.
Emma is a gifted teacher who provided my baby with incredible one-on-one attention. She explained each activity with clarity, detailing its purpose and demonstrating how we could adapt it as my baby gains confidence and strength.
Her professionalism shone during a challenging moment when my baby accidentally swallowed water for the first time. Emma instantly kept us both calm, reassured me the reaction was normal, and expertly adapted the rest of the lesson to ensure my baby stayed happy and engaged. Her quick, supportive actions turned a potentially scary event into a positive learning experience, demonstrating the highest level of care. Thank you, Emma, for making such a significant difference!"

We had over 80 nominations for our Star Teacher Award, and the fabulous Jess from The Mum Club Sheffield had the difficult job of choosing the winning nomination.
She said:
"Here is the reason why I love Puddle Ducks, the perfect blend of professionalism & care all wrapped into one! This teacher sounds amazing and someone I wish I had known when I had my babies. It was an extremely hard choice as everyone sounded amazing, it was a pleasure to sit and read through them all. All of you at Puddle Ducks are so lovely! "
Thank you Jess for being our judge and thank you so much to everyone who took the time to nominate their teacher, especially Sophie & Emily! Congratulations Emma, you are an OUSTANDING teacher!! xx
