March 17, 2022 at 12:00 amAn outstanding nursery. The staff are amazing and my little boy just loves going, if it wasn’t for the staff at pumpkins my little boy wouldn’t be where he is today. It’s clean, friendly, safe and just such a lovely little nursery.

March 17, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son attended Pumpkins Day Nursery from the age of 14 months and immediately we felt supported and happy with our choice. The staff are amazing, very kind and caring, nothing ever too much. The children are encouraged to make choices and their independence promoted.
My son attended throughout the pandemic as a keyworker child, the staff team remaining became family during this difficult period for all. The efforts they went to every week to cheer the keyworkers on was tremendous. They created a fun, engaging and safe place during an uncertain time when most nurseries closed their doors. My son flourished and his speech came along leaps and bounds. We are truly grateful for all their efforts and determination to stay open not to mention the water parties my son had!
We moved areas in September 2021 otherwise my son would still be attending there now. Thank you to all the staff, we highly recommend.

March 30, 2022 at 12:00 amI couldn’t be happier knowing that my daughter enjoys going to nursery! They have fantastic learning topics through play and creativity. I receive regular progress updates and photos via the app along with lots of handmade keepsakes throughout the year. It’s loving to see my daughter flourish from being in the great care of Pumpkins. All the staff are exceptional, thank you. Highly recommend!

March 30, 2022 at 12:00 amI have 3 boys (3 months, 4 years and 6 years). The eldest 2 have been going to Pumpkins 4-5 days a week since they were 9mths old. The staff have been fantastic from the start, from helping them both settle in on their first day to getting them prepared for school.
My children are thriving and are very happy here. The staff are friendly, approachable and go the extra mile to help my children. I get regular updates via Tapestry letting me know what they have been doing which is amazing as some days I don’t get much from the boys when they get home. Communication between parents and staff is great, sometimes it can be difficult to talk at drop off/pick up but they make time if you need to talk or they are always available via phone.
Security and safeguarding of the children is of a high standard. Fees are reasonable along with the flexibility of hours/days. I like this nursery so much that when I found out I was pregnant with my youngest I called straight away to put him on the waiting list.

March 30, 2022 at 12:00 amI absolutely love this nursery, my 9-year old started there when he was 1 and when I had my 2nd child he also started there when he was 1 in Sept 2021. He loves it there and we love the staff there. You can truly see how much they care and love your child and I wouldn’t trust any other nursery with my children.

March 30, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has been with pumpkins since September, the staff are incredible and would go above and beyond to help with anything. They’re always smiley and make so much effort to little things, my son also has allergies and these have always been taken very seriously and pumpkins have always been very professional with that. My son loves going to Pumpkins so much, in fact, he asks me if he’s going every morning and when it’s a day off he gets upset. I couldn’t recommend them enough, they’re trustworthy, honest, kind, friendly and fun.

March 31, 2022 at 12:00 amA great nursery with outstanding staff. Really took care of my little boy and helped to get him school ready. Such a lovely bunch that really take their time to get to know you and your child. Couldn’t recommend pumpkins enough.

March 31, 2022 at 12:00 amPumpkins is a wonderful nursery. They have been very patient and caring with both my children. I can not recommend this nursery enough. They got my children’s school ready so the transition wasn’t hard or daunting. Pumpkins has lovely staff who are very attentive and wonderful with all the children. Just a great all round nursery.

March 31, 2022 at 12:00 amA 5-star nursery where the staff are very approachable and easy to talk to.
My little girl loves going here and her confidence has grown and grown.
The staff have helped with potty training and have been really patient with my little girl’s fussy eating encouraging her daily with trying new foods and rewarding her with a sticker chart.
I would highly recommend Pumpkins Day Nursery to anyone looking for a nursery in this area

April 4, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter loves going to nursery, as she has for the last 19 months! The staff are lovely and I cannot thank them enough for how much she has developed within this time. I would happily send future children to pumpkins too. Their presence makes the mum guilt a little bit easier.

April 4, 2022 at 12:00 amThe most amazing, caring and happy staff. My child happily goes into nursery and is always greeted with a smile. He enjoys the activities and learning and is always able to tell me what he has been up to. The staff always go above and beyond and he loves all of the teachers. He enjoys learning, playing and the amazing outside space.

April 4, 2022 at 12:00 amA wonderful nursery, with wonderful kind and caring staff, both of my children started at pumpkins around 7 months old, My son was here until he was ready for school, and the transition to school was made so much easier by the work the staff had put in with him in the weeks and months before he finished at Pumpkins. My daughter is currently attending Pumpkins and leaving her to attend work is made so much easier by knowing how happy and settled she is at the Nursery.
Highly recommended

April 4, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son is very happy here and has been from day one. Staff are always friendly. I only have positive things to say about Pumpkins and would recommend to anyone who would like to send their child to nursery!

April 11, 2022 at 12:00 amPumpkins Day Nursery is a really welcoming and accommodating nursery. They have been able to suit our chosen days/times without any problems and always help us out if we need to change. My child has really improved her language since joining and I believe this has a lot to do with her time at Pumpkins! She loves all the messy play and activities that she doesn’t usually do at home. Couldn’t ask for more!

April 11, 2022 at 12:00 amI have a 4 1/2-year-old boy who loves going to Pumpkins Day Nursery. He has been going 4 days a week since the age of 9 months. The staff are extremely friendly and always available to talk about your child and any concerns that you may have and offer advice if they can.
All the staff are very hands-on with the children, helping them with arts and crafts and I love seeing what drawings etc my little boy comes home with.
I was extremely grateful to Pumpkins during the first lockdown in 2020 when they remained open for key workers. As I am a key worker, my little boy continued to go to nursery and they put extra measures in place to keep him safe.
I would definitely recommend Pumpkins to anyone who is considering putting their child in nursery, I cannot fault them.
