Day Nurseries Owned by Little Pumpkins Nursery Ltd

"My son has had a wonderful experience at this nursery. The staff are caring, patient, and genuinely invested in the children's development. He's grown in confidence, made friends, and looks forward to going in every day. The communication with parents is great, and the activities are always thoughtful and engaging. We're really grateful for the support and couldn't be happier with the nursery."

My son has been attending little pumpkins since he was 8 months old and he is now soon to be three! Since giving my trust in them to watch my son 4 days a week they have been fantastic, the ladies really care, are engaging and make it as fun as possible for all the children with creative and pro active activities. I'm impressed of how much he has learned since attending. There was some staff changes last year but the team they have now are very strong and reassuring. My son has never been upset or unhappy to go in and loves it! Thank you all for all you do - love Ashley, Joe and Cason!

Little Pumpkin is the only place where my son happily waves goodbye to me...and sometimes forgets I exist for a full 5 seconds!

I am extremely concerned about the lack of transparency at Little Pumpkins Nursery. A safeguarding incident took place in the preschool room and parents were not informed at all and that the police are involved. Heading this from parents is completely unacceptable and goes against the basic expectations families have for communication and safety.

There also continues to be serious instability within the nursery. Managers keep leaving, other staff are following, and this constant turnover is affecting the quality of care. It's becoming harder and harder to trust the leadership or get clear answers to important questions.

On top of this, there seems to be more focus on money than on providing a stable, safe environment for the children. They have even lost a nursery that was already rated "requires improvement," which raises major concerns about how the organisation is being run overall.

Parents deserve honesty, consistency, and a childcare setting that puts children's wellbeing first

Care was poor. My son often came home in wet clothes and socks and was constantly ill. On one occasion he was sent home in the wrong nappy size, causing rashes and red marks. This is basic childcare, and they failed

My son has attended since he was 11 months old and Little Pumpkins has been such a supportive and important part of our lives. He's now 2.5 years old, and he enjoys it and learns so much - he's always coming home talking about all his friends and we know the lovely staff are very caring and nurturing. The children have lots of fun, they do cooking and dancing classes, and staff tailor activities towards the children's current interests. The menu is fantastic and the wonderful on-site chef does an amazing job of serving nutritious meals that our son always eats All+ of! We really recommend Little Pumpkins.

Little Pumpkins is the most caring and nurturing nursery. We couldn't be happier with it! The staff are so friendly and go above and beyond to support my son, allowing him to flourish in all areas. It's an excellent learning environment and the children are stimulated with the variety of different activities.

My daughter has been at the Little Pumpkins Nursery for the last two years. She has become a bubbly, happy, excited little girl. She comes out happy, telling us about her day and new things she has learned.

I absolutely recommend Little Pumpkins.

This is a lovely small nursery with some very caring and able staff. It’s comparable in price to other local nurseries and I have confidence my children are being well cared for and stimulated while they are there. Communication is also great.

Very friendly stuff always helpful! Our daughter loves to go to nursery, every morning she runs to the staff. We are happy with all the activities that they doing for the kids. We can see a lot of improvement in our daughter every time when she comes home from nursery. 100% I would recommend!

A great nursery. Staff care deeply about the children and give them the chance to grow and develop without being overbearing. A good mix of activities and outside time. And great food (what he’ll eat there instead of home is another story!).

We absolutely recommend Little Pumpkins - Lee. Our daughter thrived in that setting and the care she received was phenomenal. Staff members truly care and have excellent open communication with parents and carers. We will miss them.

Our son went to Little Pumpkins from the age of 1 and left just before he was 3 as we were sadly moving a bit further away. The staff have always been so wonderful and caring towards him and his language and development came on so much after starting. He loved the food and the activities and we got to see photo updates of his day through the app. The management team are fantastic and always available if you need to speak and it feels like such a personal service. They all took so much time getting to know him at the beginning and helped him settle in quickly. It’s a really personal nursery where everyone from the key workers to the owners knew our son really well. We were so sad when he left as they’ve been amazing.

We couldn't be happier with our nursery choice, and I know my little boy feels the same! It's a joy to see him so happy there, and the progress he's made since attending is amazing. They teach him so much! Highly recommend.

The app, used to update us on our children’s day, is always up to date and provides us with daily photos.

My daughter went to this nursery for about 1.5 years. She saw many different staff members and management due to the high turnover. She became regularly unhappy to go and the new faces every week did not help this. The staff were very unhappy, the children were unhappy and the level of care was low. It had such great potential to be a very good nursery however there were many management issues and this caused my child to be regularly distressed. They said they had this everywhere however other nurseries I visited had a way lower turnover of staff which spoke volumes. My daughter now goes to a much better nursery and the change in her energy to go to the new one has been amazing. I would not recommend this nursery at all.

100% recommend Little Pumpkins Lee. Two of my children have been attending since September and Im incredibly impressed with how quickly they settled, the bonds theyve formed with all staff, the variety of activities but most importantly, how much theyve blossomed individually.

Lovely nursery, very enthusiastic and caring staff who care deeply about providing a safe and engaging environment for our kids. Responsive to queries and concerns. Overall really pleased with the care our children receive.

Amazing staff, our son was very shy at first, but to our surprise, it took him less than 4 weeks to settle in (only three days a week at that time). The progress that he made is evident and we are very happy with the loving care that he is receiving. We get regular updates on his activities, and the nursery has weekly surprises and fun pass times for the children. Our son's English is now becoming clearer than his native language and this is one more important acquisition since he started nursery. The meals are cooked on site, and he seems to be having more appetite there than at home. We highly recommend this nursery, with its skilled and lovely staff.
