February 15, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending Little Pumpkins at East Croydon since the beginning of January 2021 and I am so happy with my choice of nursery. The nursery itself is immaculate, so clean, nice decor and a great selection of toys for kids to play with a nice outdoor garden too! The staff have been amazing, my son has settled in nicely and you can tell they all love the job and really care about each individual child. I would highly recommend this nursery it was everything I personally was looking for.

February 18, 2021 at 12:00 amGreat nursery with such caring and attentive staff. My child loves going there and she learned so many new things since she’s part of the Mini Tweenies! I love the app system where parents can see how the day goes and all the activities that children do, with photos and comments! Very practical.
Would definitely recommend it!!

February 18, 2021 at 12:00 amMy child started when Little Pumpkins East Croydon opened and he settled straight away. All the staff are so caring and passionate about what they do, we could not have picked a better place for him to start his education. I saw a massive change in my child’s development straight away, he absolutely loves it and talks about nursery and the staff all the time.
The facilities are excellent with multiple rooms to cater for different ages. They are stocked with so many toys and sensory equipment and the outdoor space is really big for a central Croydon spot.
They use an app to keep you updated on your little one’s day; nappies, food, naps etc and also ask frequently for your tots interests so they can personalise their learning.
Prime location only a few minutes from East Croydon station. Indoor buggy storage is also a winner for me!
We couldn’t be happier with Little Pumpkins and highly recommended them.

May 24, 2021 at 12:00 amWe are so happy with the care and education that Little Pumpkins provide for our daughter! She started and was quite nervous, as was I, but after a couple of weeks doesn’t look back and talks about her friends and what she’s been up to and it is clear that she is stimulated and encouraged to be herself which I really like! I have noticed a huge difference in her confidence after lockdown and I am so pleased we chose Little Pumpkins! She is learning social skills and this is helping her confidence, I feel the staff have welcomed us and taken the time to understand her, and she is loved and cared for in a spotlessly clean environment! And she is very happy about the food!

February 14, 2022 at 12:00 amMy two-year-old daughter attends this nursery and I couldn’t be happier. The staff are amazing and very attentive, my child always looks forward to going to nursery every morning. The building is well refurbished compared to other nurseries I visited in the area. I can’t recommend Little Pumpkins enough.

March 7, 2022 at 12:00 amA lovely new and really nicely renovated nursery but apart from that, it has been a less than fortunate experience having our child at this nursery. On more than one occasion we have had safeguarding issues because of the amount of unexplained bruises our child would come home with. It has the potential to be an amazing nursery, but in the end, we had to remove our child due to safety concerns. In the time our child has attended the nursery there have been too many changes in staff which have not supported our child’s needs. We were promised many things when we attended our initial introduction one being that a chef that would prepare the children’s meals. This was not the case. We really started to see things worsen when staffing issues resulted in combining the children of mixed age groups into one space at the basement level.

May 9, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter went to this nursery for about 1.5 years. She saw many different staff members and management due to the high turnover. She became regularly unhappy to go and the new faces every week did not help this. The staff were very unhappy, the children were unhappy and the level of care was low. It had such great potential to be a very good nursery however there were many management issues and this caused my child to be regularly distressed. They said they had this everywhere however other nurseries I visited had a way lower turnover of staff which spoke volumes. My daughter now goes to a much better nursery and the change in her energy to go to the new one has been amazing. I would not recommend this nursery at all.
