Description
The nursery's team of skilled staff value the importance of children exploring the outdoors.
For example, the forest school enables children to explore and respect
nature, take risks and succeed.
Beach school sessions offer children aged over 3 years the chance to work together navigating rock pools, building castles, exploring and mapping found treasures while creating new friendships and learning together.
The nursery's early years education philosophy follows the Reggio Emilia Approach, which values the child as strong, capable and resilient; rich with wonder and knowledge.
'Every child brings with them deep curiosity and potential and such curiosity sparks their interest to understand the world and their role in it.

September 7, 2024 at 11:50 pmShe’s often persuaded to at least give us a wave! The provision is outstanding and based around kids’s interests. I sense that not only does my daughter delight in going to childcare centre but is being moved on in terms of what she is discovering. She comes home singing new songs and is able to tell me what she did when I remind her with pictures. She adores the team and it’s 50/50 as to whether I get called ‘Mum’ or the name of her key worker, which shows a great relationship. The updates is exceptional and I sense the team know my daughter well. We are over the moon with Pumpkin Patch! Our 2-year-old daughter started at Pumpkin Patch Childcare centre in March and doesn’t even look back when we drop her off.

September 24, 2024 at 5:44 pmWe were however delighted to see him settle so well and so quickly, we sense this is largely due to the inviting, calm, stimulating and enjoyable setting created by all the Pumpkin Patch team, who we have found to be exceptionally responsive, reassuring and genuinely appearing to delight in and care for the kids in their care. Our son appears excited to attend his days at childcare centre and smiles and points to the door on arrival, we can’t thank the team enough for their care and efforts. My son recently moved from another childcare centre to Pumpkin Patch Childcare centre and we were worried it would take him a while to settle as had been our previous journey.

October 3, 2024 at 12:25 pmThey were exceptional at communicating and reassuring me when my son started there in March 2023. He settled in quickly and loves it there now. The spaces are truly well thought out and there’s consistently something enjoyable going on! Lovely childcare centre, the team are all truly welcoming and attentive.

October 18, 2024 at 5:49 pmTeam are so lovely and highly supportive, meeting each one of my son’s needs. There has been no tears as yet so it is evident that he’s one cheerful, thriving little boy! The updates between team and families is exceptional, consistently being updated with pics to represent what’s been said. I adore it here and my son does too. Thank you for everything so far This has been my son’s first week within the setting, the transition has been incredible.

October 22, 2024 at 7:45 amMy son has been so cheerful here since he started in March. The team have been so accommodating and aiding his discovering as his time is split between two nurseries. Cannot suggest all at Pumpkin Patch Childcare centre enough! Incredible childcare centre.

December 5, 2024 at 10:27 amWe had looked at some other nurseries in the area, but this childcare centre impressed us a lot. It took a little time for our daughter to settle, but all the team have been so welcoming and patient with her and now she is much more settled and cheerful. The setting is so calm and nurturing for little ones and the team are all highly welcoming and approachable giving truly nice regular updates. We look forward to seeing her grow as she progresses through the childcare centre. Thank you so much for all you do to keep our little one cheerful and secure! Our daughter started in the baby and toddler room at the end of March.

December 9, 2024 at 10:57 pmWe are so glad we moved our daughter here.
The team are incredible and attentive, the activities the kids do are explorative and inspiring and follow their own personal interests. We can’t suggest this childcare centre enough! Our daughter started here when this childcare centre opened and she is thriving!

February 14, 2025 at 7:46 amThe team clearly have a wealth of journey and truly care about what they do, going above and beyond to nurture kids in a creative and loving setting. There is a excellent balance of outdoor, exploratory playtime and creative sessions inside. We adore how much time is centred around interpreting familiar stories and carrying their ideas through to art and playtime. It is also clear our daughter receives the one-to-one time she needs sometimes and TLC from the lovely childcare centre team. We also receive lovely updates daily about what the whole kindergarten are getting up to, as well as personal observations. We cannot rate Pumpkin Patch Childcare centre highly enough – our daughter has truly thrived since joining the kindergarten at Pumpkin Patch when it opened this year.

The daily updates are regular and specific to your kid, it’s excellent having photos to see him cheerful and see what he is up to. The childcare centre seems calm and educational but enjoyable and engaging at the same time. Our son has taken a liking to a member of team in the baby room and another member of team too. We are truly impressed with the level of care. My son has recently moved here from another local childcare centre and the settle-in/move has been seamless.

March 22, 2025 at 5:55 pmTeam are so attentive and go above and beyond to make sure they are so well looked after in every way.
I am so cheerful with my daughter coming to this childcare centre. Best decision me and my family made. My daughter has recently been coming to this childcare centre and she beams with so much happiness as soon as she sees the front door.

March 27, 2025 at 4:52 pmI get regular updates of experiences during the day and messages of how she is when she’s gone in unsettled. Her development is supported through playtime with open ended resources along with the focused experiences provided, both in the room, outdoors and in their atelier. As a curious girl and a thinker and doer, the kid centred and self directed approach they have is perfect for her, as her discovering is extended in the moment. The kids’s voices are both heard and valued and this is reflected in the observations the team make and in what my daughter tells me. The setting is lovely and the kids are involved in developing this, growing sunflowers and vegetables in the garden. The well‑informed team and Management are all welcoming and welcoming in their approach and teaching and have been able to clarify any queries I’ve had. Cheerful daughter, highly cheerful Mummy. Thank you! Highly recommended Daughter started in April in Kindergarten.

April 21, 2025 at 6:56 amThe team are so inviting and welcoming and they make an effort to get to know each kid individually. They assistance development and keep parents well informed of how their kid is getting on throughout their time there. We could not be happier with the service provided and our daughter loves going there. We have been thrilled with everything at Pumpkin Patch.

May 4, 2025 at 8:30 amThe childcare centre feels highly calm and secure and has excellent spaces to move around in. It just has a lovely vibe and excellent interaction with the kids with lots of dedicated attention. There is a lovely atelier upstairs where they take small groups of kids in for focused activities. Exceeded expectations. Thanks all! Our two-year-old son started here in April and is absolutely loving it, so are we!

May 23, 2025 at 7:41 amThey are all so compassionate and genuinely care for the kids. The childcare centre itself is lovely and has a real calmness about it, and the updates is exceptional throughout the day. My daughter has absolutely loved it here from day one and leans in, arms outstretched, to be taken in at the door every morning! The icing on the cake is the fantastic drop off and pick up system they have on their driveway which truly takes the stress out of those parts of the day. The list of remarkable things about this childcare centre is highly long but right at the top are the fantastic people that work there.

June 13, 2025 at 6:00 pmAs a first timer to the childcare centre, I was truly worried about my kid. But the fantastic team made it an easy journey for me and my kid. He just loves to be in Pumpkin Patch Childcare centre. It is an incredible place with such welcoming team.
