    Both my kids have attended and both have loved the time they have spent there from 11 months all the way up to preschool age. The Bumpkins Nursery team are incredible. My youngest was very timid when she first started going because of lockdown and they have brought her out of her shell so much and they have taken the pandemic in their stride. Thank you ladies for the awesome job you have done and the time you have spent with both my kids.

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

    The team are supportive, well‑informed and welcoming and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Our daughters are so cheerful at Bumpkins Nursery and we couldn’t suggest it more highly. Communication is incredibly great and you consistently sense up-to-date on your kid’s activities throughout the day. The range of themes covered is extensive and the activities are consistently creative. Whether the girls are crafting fossils and nests out of clay, building robots or dinosaurs, getting messy in the foam or constructing dens at Nature Rangers, they consistently come home cheerful and with lots to say about their day. For the younger kids, there are early opportunities to try baking and painting, while for the older ones the preparation for school is very great – with ‘homework’ books, practice trying on uniforms and understanding the shape of a school day. The variety of food on offer is excellent and they cater well for different dietary requirements.

    I was pleasantly taken aback with Bumpkins from the start, from the intimate communication between the childcare centre and parents, to the genuine loving dedication to my son’s care. Due to my job, we’ve had to move through various different nurseries and knowing the importance of early years care and education, I have consistently strived to put my son with the best providers. The gentleness and adore received from the team, is reflected in my son’s happiness and he has settled so quickly, eager to tell me about his activities and keen to return the next day. The ranger outdoor area is a excellent concept, and the kids get the exercise and fresh air they need and I sense content my son is secure, developing, and loved. Thank you to all at Bumpkins for making my life easier, by knowing my kid is receiving the best, in my absence. Your childcare centre truly cares and it shows.

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

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

    The team are fantastic: professional and well‑informed but equally attentive and attentive. Our two boys (18 months and 3 years) attend Bumpkins and we couldn’t be happier sending them there. Our eldest is so much happier here than at his previous childcare centre; so much so that we have pulled him out of his previous childcare centre now that we have something to compare it to. He looks forward to Bumpkins and consistently skips in, after being greeted so warmly by his class workers. Meals are healthy and varied and we are kept regularly updated throughout the day as to what the boys are up to. We cannot suggest Bumpkins enough.

    We are hugely impressed with the way that team and management handled various changes over the past five years and of course how they coped during the pandemic. Both our kids attended Bumpkins Nursery from the age of one until they started school. A level of familiarity and consistency has been maintained, helping our kids to sense valued, secure and cheerful during their time here. I cannot speak highly enough of their various key workers who maintained excellent communication with us and genuinely seemed to adore their jobs, developing strong and trusting relationships with both of our kids. The food and facilities are excellent, with a wide range of activities provided for the kids. We were also excellent fans of nature rangers during the pre-school years. Our kids were supported through their ever truly-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.

    Great facilities and fantastic team. My son blossomed at Bumpkins Nursery. The team are attentive and interactive. I felt at ease knowing my son was there daily and was well-taken care of. He was cheerful there and learned a lot.

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

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

    We adore that our son experiences a range of both indoor and outdoor activities. Bumpkins is a welcoming setting in a perfect setting. The team are very supportive and we have peace of mind that our son is cheerful and secure, during his sessions. We highly suggest this childcare centre to parents and carers looking for childcare solutions.

    Her conversation and use of language has extended due to the careful questioning of well-trained team and open-ended activities. Our daughter loves her time at childcare centre; it has definitely helped her grow in confidence and self-assurance, in fact, I’m lucky if I get a wave goodbye as she runs in and starts with the routine of the day. Her ability to share with peers and be understood has been shaped by great modeling and consistency of team interaction. Bumpkins care for, know and understand our daughter and that’s all we could ever truly ask!

    My son has truly grown in confidence and developmentally since attending regularly and the level of feedback we receive about his daily activities has been excellent and very thorough which is important to us. Bumpkins is a fantastic childcare centre with excellent team and facilities. I am so pleased it’s a cheerful coincidence that Bumpkins are so local as I don’t think we could have found a better childcare centre if we tried!

    The management as well as the team have been nothing but reassuring and supportive, they have been there the whole time to answer any worries or questions I have had. My kid started Bumpkins just over a year ago and now has started transitioning to their preschool site. The setting has a fantastic kitchen team that offers a variety of food cooked from scratch that my kid absolutely loves. The range of activities they have and the assistance of her key worker gives her lots of new opportunities and the messages I get on her discovering journey and also the way she talks about it shows just truly how incredible they are.

    It’s so nice going to work knowing I don’t have to worry about my boys as they consistently have a excellent time. All the team are so welcoming and attentive. I consistently delight in seeing what they get up too with updates on the app! Sending a kid to childcare centre isn’t the cheapest form of childcare but Bumpkins is worth every penny. Thanks to all the Bumpkins team.

    My kid is extremely cheerful at childcare centre, she runs straight in the morning hardly looking back. My kid has been attending Bumpkins childcare centre since she was 8 months old and she has recently transitioned to preschool. She’s greeted by a familiar face every day who makes her sense secure. Her use of language and communication is great and consistently extended by the trained team 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 discovering opportunities are endless. I cannot speak higher of the various key workers she’s had over the last few years, their knowledge of my kid was and continues to be incredible showing strong relationships built. The team communicate well, giving us a detailed handover of her day, and I cannot thank them enough for the fantastic care they provide.

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

    Both our girls went there over a period of 6 years – with the youngest having just ‘graduated’ from preschool. Bumpkins are brilliant! It’s the end of an era for our family and we’re indebted to the team there for all the adore, care and attention they showed the girls during that time – especially during the pandemic. Their excellent care, range of themed activities and homecooked meals meant we never worried about the girls while we were at work – they skipped in most days with barely a backward glance! Both leave, as cheerful, confident and sociable little girls, who are ready to make the next move to big school. Bumpkins has been such a big part of our lives for so long. We’ll consistently remember it with huge affection and gratitude.

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