Bumpkins Nursery

I cannot even begin to try and put into words just how amazing everyone is at Bumpkins. For my Son to be so excited every time he went and how happy he was when he came home is just beyond expectation. Nature Rangers made all the difference. Big thanks to the staff who just made such an impact on my sons time there. I just cannot recommend Bumpkins highly enough.

Our son absolutely loves going to Bumpkins. Having moved areas he had a lot to adjust to leaving his old home/nursery and settling at a new one but the staff have been so great that he settled straight away! Love that they spend so much time outdoors and also how engaged the staff are with parents. Definitely recommend.

Bumpkins is a friendly environment in a perfect setting. We love that our son experiences a range of both indoor and outdoor activities. The staff are very supportive and we have peace of mind that our son is happy and safe, during his sessions. We highly recommend this nursery to parents and carers looking for childcare solutions.

I am so happy we decided to send our son to Bumpkins. He was a lockdown baby and has benefitted greatly from the interaction with other children. The staff have managed Covid restrictions so well, under tricky circumstances. I drop him off knowing he is in good hands. The staff are fantastic, especially in handling the transition into nursery, and then each new room, with sensitivity and care. He loves the staff, the outdoor space and all the messy play and creative activities. I appreciate the daily updates and periodic reviews too – he is learning so much. I can’t recommend it highly enough! Thank you!

Our daughter had a wonderful time during her 18 months at Bumpkins Nursery. She looked forward to going to school and the staff there were friendly, supportive and knew our daughter really well. Meals were always delicious and nature rangers was a highlight for my daughter every week. Thank you to everyone for making her time there so special.

Amazing, helped my daughter settle in so well, worked through her behaviours linked to anxieties. The first time I saw her hug one of the ladies in dragonflies I knew we had made the right choice and she felt safe, this made us as a family feel safe in the knowledge that she was happy. They also managed her multiple allergies and complex diet without any huge issues. I can’t thank Bumpkins Nursery enough.

We had our son at the nursery for three years, moving through almost all the age groups and finished the final school transition year. At every stage, he enjoyed the nursery days thoroughly, made good friendships and learnt plenty of new skills with new experiences. In particular, their large outdoor space for nature rangers was very popular and well enjoyed! The nursery had very good communication with parents via an app, with daily updates and records of new learning development. Specifically, the final year with their support for transition to school was hugely beneficial. We have the benefit of being able to compare this experience with other nurseries his elder sisters attended and we can wholeheartedly say, Bumpkins, is a better experience for the child, plus far closer communication with parents.

Both our children attended Bumpkins Nursery from the age of one until they started school. We are hugely impressed with the way that staff and management handled various changes over the past five years and of course how they coped during the pandemic. A level of familiarity and consistency has been maintained, helping our children to feel valued, safe and happy during their time here. I cannot speak highly enough of their various key workers who maintained excellent communication with us and genuinely seemed to love their jobs, developing strong and trusting relationships with both of our children. The food and facilities are excellent, with a wide range of activities provided for the children. We were also great fans of nature rangers during the pre-school years. Our children were supported through their ever-changing emotional and physical development stages and their development and preparation for starting school is in no small way a result of their time at Bumpkins Nursey. Thank you all.

My child has been attending Bumpkins nursery since she was 8 months old and she has recently transitioned to preschool. My child is extremely happy at nursery, she runs straight in the morning hardly looking back. She’s greeted by a familiar face every day who makes her feel safe. Her use of language and communication is good and always extended by the trained staff and the activities she is provided on a day-to-day basis. She comes home telling us of everything she’s done which includes anything from being a hairdresser to making dinosaur houses with boxes, playing outside on the bikes or going on a nature walk to collect sticks. The learning opportunities are endless. I cannot speak higher of the various key workers she’s had over the last few years, their knowledge of my child was and continues to be amazing showing strong relationships built. The staff communicate well, giving us a detailed handover of her day, and I cannot thank them enough for the wonderful care they provide.

I started my son at Bumpkins Nursery when he was just 5 months old. I had many fears about this but the team at Bumpkins were wonderful. They kept in constant contact through their app with photos, videos and updates. I would ring them to check in as well and they were always very patient and accommodating. Since then my child has learnt to walk, talk and eat whilst at this nursery. From baby led weaning support direct from their in house chef to behavioural support from his key workers we have been very lucky to feel supported throughout. My son loves the outdoors so to be able to play in the garden daily and go and feed the chickens is amazing. Highly recommend this nursery from the staff to the communication to the food and the care areas itself.
