Pumpkin Patch Farnborough

My son has been going to Pumpkin Patch now for nearly a year and he really loves it and has thrived since being there. His speech and development have come on leaps and bounds and the staff and management there are just amazing, caring and friendly. It is a home from home environment which is what I liked about it when I first looked at the nursery and the manager made us feel at home straight away. He is always so happy when I drop him off and pick him up which to me says everything about how great it is there. The staff make sure they do everything they can to make the children feel at home and are so loved and cared for.
The chef is great and cooks lovely nutritious meals that my son loves to eat (mostly!) The outside space is good, with a lovely garden that they go out in all the time. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.

I have 2 children and have been using Pumpkin Patch for 2 years. I chose the nursery because it was small and personal and the staff seemed to know all the children well. A lot of importance was put on creating a good nap environment which was important to me too.
The settling in sessions were well structured and the nursery have always been very good at keeping me up to date with any issues that the children have had. There is an online learning platform that provides information regularly.
The nursery have helped us navigate through potty training and other milestones with sticker charts on walls and lots of encouragement.
Overall I have had a positive experience and I recommend Pumpkin Patch to others. It is a smaller nursery but I think the staff really care about the children and get to know them really well.

This has been our first nursery experience, and it has certainly gone above and beyond our expectations. We chose Pumpkin Patch for its intimate setting and home-from-home feel. Our son has loved being at Pumpkin Patch, and it’s very important to know that he’s been well looked after. There is always a detailed update of what our son has been doing during the day, and there are thoughtful gifts and keepsakes for parents throughout the year. Thank you for everything you’re doing. I cannot recommend Pumpkin Patch highly enough.

My daughter has been attending Pumpkin Patch since she was 1 year old and she is now 4 and a half, due to start school in Sept. She has loved her time with this nursery and is really happy there. The staff are really engaging and make learning both educational and fun for the children. Her confidence has gone from strength to strength as well as her ability to communicate with both her peer group and adults. This nursery creates a very friendly, kind, supportive and caring environment which has also helped develop my daughter’s emotional ability and intelligence, enabling her to be ready for big school in September. She will really miss the nursery as she has made wonderful friendships over the years, she loves the staff there and enjoys going to everyday. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter started at Pumpkin Patch Farnborough in January. I was worried about her settling as she had been used to her old nursery and was starting during Covid-19. I didn’t need to worry as all the staff have been fantastic in helping her settle and we quickly felt like one of the ‘family’. My daughter loves going to nursery and always comes out with a massive smile on her face. I know she is being well looked after and that the staff go above and beyond to provide a safe and stimulating environment.

I am so happy we picked Pumpkin Patch Farnborough for our daughter. She started at the nursery when she was nine months old and will be starting school in September. I’ve been so impressed with how flexible the staff are and how well they know the children and follow their different interests. My daughter is quite a picky eater so they have tried different techniques to encourage her to eat and on days when they know she is not keen on something they have found her a different option. She loves the outside space and has made great friends, who she talks about all the time. She loves her ‘teachers’ and often asks if they can come to her party! The staff are so warm and welcoming, they really make you feel part of the Pumpkin Patch Farnborough family. Communication with home is absolutely excellent and in normal, non Covid-19 times parents are frequently invited in to stay, play and see other activities. We’ve just had our second child and I put his name down for Pumpkin Patch Farnborough the first week we had him!

My daughter is happy here and the staff are polite and friendly, they always have a smile and I know my daughter is well looked after and happy. She has become more sociable and her development has come on greatly since starting. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking. It’s a lovely small nursery and it’s a home from home like one big family.

Pumpkin Patch Farnborough is an absolutely outstanding nursery. The staff are fantastic and the nursery manager is the lynchpin of this amazing setting. My son has been going here for 2.5 years and we couldn’t be happier with the love, care and attention he receives. Feel like this is going to set him up very well for school, they learn so much as the staff are constantly thinking of creative ways for them to build new skills. Could not recommend anywhere better for your child!

From the moment I walked into Pumpkin Patch for the walk through I just got that feeling deep inside that it was the right nursery for my son to go to. I was told when I felt the place was right, I would just know, and they weren’t wrong. My son being a lockdown baby hadn’t socialised much with other children his own age and Pumpkin Patch has had what we feel to be a huge part in bringing out much more of his character. We have always felt safe in the knowledge he is well looked after, happy and thriving in the setting.
The staff are beyond caring and friendly, we really couldn’t have asked for a nicer group of people to help us care for our son whilst we work. The day is explained at pick up and any funny moments are relayed so you feel as much a part of their day as possible because the mum guilt can feel very real. The Tapestry App also allows you to know how the day is going and is a reassuring tool for any parent. We couldn’t recommend the nursery enough.

My daughter has been going to Pumpkin Patch since she was seven months old and it’s great to see how comfortable she is there. Her confidence & social skills have grown so much and she loves the food and all of her key workers. She doesn’t look back once she is at the door, which is always a good sign!
