Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is a wonderful nursery with caring and supportive practitioners. The environment is tranquil and homely. The children are offered authentic resources to explore that are open-ended and foster imagination.
I couldn’t image my little one attending anywhere else. The staff involve parents to support
their little ones' development in a practical way.
Everything is included and the meals are cooked in-house and thoroughly enjoyed.

Good induction, enjoyed our showing, the nursery manager is passionate and knowledgeable. This isn't a nursery where everything is brand new and clinical this nursery is focused on learning, development and care not aesthetics and this is what is most important.

My daughter has been going to Pumpkin Patch since she was seven months old and it's great to see how comfortable she is there. Her confidence & social skills have grown so much and she loves the food and all of her key workers. She doesn't look back once she is at the door, which is always a good sign!

A great little nursery, lovely staff and thoughtful learning experiences. My daughter is thriving there and enjoys going to nursery each day. We are kept up to date about her care and progress through Tapestry and the staff undertake regular training. A home-from-home environment.

From the moment I walked into Pumpkin Patch for the walk through I just got that feeling deep inside that it was the right nursery for my son to go to. I was told when I felt the place was right, I would just know, and they weren't wrong. My son being a lockdown baby hadn't socialised much with other
children his own age and Pumpkin Patch has had what we feel to be a huge part in bringing out much more of his character. We have always felt safe in the knowledge he is well looked after, happy and thriving in the setting.
The staff are beyond caring and friendly, we really couldn't have asked for a nicer group of people to help us care for our son whilst we work. The day is explained at pick up and any funny moments are relayed so you feel as much a part of their day as possible because the mum guilt can feel very real. The Tapestry App also allows you to know how the day is going and is a reassuring tool for any parent. We couldn't recommend the nursery enough.

My three children have all attended Pumpkin Patch and we couldn't be happier with the care, learning experiences, and opportunities they receive. The staff are extremely welcoming and build really good relationships with the children, each child is truly treated as an individual and celebrated for who
they are. It is a very friendly setting and feels like a home-from-home. Food allergies and learning needs are all catered for with regular contact between home and nursery ensuring that children are safe and healthy. We are extremely happy with Pumpkin Patch Nursery!

Pumpkin Patch Farnborough is an absolutely outstanding nursery. The staff are fantastic and the nursery manager is the lynchpin of this amazing setting. My son has been going here for 2.5 years and we couldn't be happier with the love, care and attention he receives. Feel like this is going to set him
up very well for school, they learn so much as the staff are constantly thinking of creative ways for them to build new skills. Could not recommend anywhere better for your child!

Pumpkin Patch Farnborough is a lovely small nursery and my son (toddler age) really loves it and has fun! The staff are really friendly, polite and welcoming, and I know my son is well looked after. They have a great outside space and spend lots of time outside alongside lots of other activities. The
manager is also lovely, amazing at her job and great at communication, the staff also make daily updates on what the children have been up to. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking.

I am so happy we picked Pumpkin Patch Farnborough for our daughter. She started at the nursery when she was nine months old and will be starting school in September. I've been so impressed with how flexible the staff are and how well they know the children and follow their different interests. My daughter
is quite a picky eater so they have tried different techniques to encourage her to eat and on days when they know she is not keen on something they have found her a different option. She loves the outside space and has made great friends, who she talks about all the time. She loves her 'teachers' and often asks if they can come to her party! The staff are so warm and welcoming, they really make you feel part of the Pumpkin Patch Farnborough family. Communication with home is absolutely excellent and in normal, non Covid-19 times parents are frequently invited in to stay, play and see other activities. We've just had our second child and I put his name down for Pumpkin Patch Farnborough the first week we had him!

Pumpkin Patch Farnborough is a lovely nursery. Both of our children are very happy there, it is well run and the staff really get to know the children. We get written feedback every day on their progress which has been really appreciated when we haven’t been able to go in to the nursery during the pandemic.
The staff are caring and the children at the nursery thrive, develop and have fun.

My daughter started at Pumpkin Patch Farnborough in January. I was worried about her settling as she had been used to her old nursery and was starting during Covid-19. I didn’t need to worry as all the staff have been fantastic in helping her settle and we quickly felt like one of the ‘family’. My daughter
loves going to nursery and always comes out with a massive smile on her face. I know she is being well looked after and that the staff go above and beyond to provide a safe and stimulating environment.

If you are looking for a nursery for your child, I cannot recommend Pumpkin Patch Farnborough enough. They are absolutely amazing and the staff are so, so dedicated. Very approachable and super friendly. My little girl loves going to nursery, which makes the guilt a whole lot less when you are leaving
them.

My daughter has been attending Pumpkin Patch since she was 1 year old and she is now 4 and a half, due to start school in Sept. She has loved her time with this nursery and is really happy there. The staff are really engaging and make learning both educational and fun for the children. Her confidence
has gone from strength to strength as well as her ability to communicate with both her peer group and adults. This nursery creates a very friendly, kind, supportive and caring environment which has also helped develop my daughter’s emotional ability and intelligence, enabling her to be ready for big school in September. She will really miss the nursery as she has made wonderful friendships over the years, she loves the staff there and enjoys going to everyday. I would highly recommend this nursery.

This has been our first nursery experience, and it has certainly gone above and beyond our expectations. We chose Pumpkin Patch for its intimate setting and home-from-home feel. Our son has loved being at Pumpkin Patch, and it's very important to know that he's been well looked after. There is always
a detailed update of what our son has been doing during the day, and there are thoughtful gifts and keepsakes for parents throughout the year. Thank you for everything you're doing. I cannot recommend Pumpkin Patch highly enough.

I cannot recommend Pumpkin Patch highly enough. My autistic son loves to come to nursery every day and is jumping at the door to get in!
He comes home incredibly happy each day and has made huge strides in his development which is all down to the fantastic varied activities his room staff plan.
With
my son being non-verbal I love the online care diary telling us what he's eaten and done throughout the day.

My daughter has been going to Pumpkin Patch for over a year now. She really enjoys her time there, so much so she has a big smile when we collect her and has clearly had a great day. Every morning she happily waves goodbye and walks herself in to see her friends which includes the staff. The food provided
is excellent, the staff are great and our daughter has developed a huge amount since being there.

I have 2 children and have been using Pumpkin Patch for 2 years. I chose the nursery because it was small and personal and the staff seemed to know all the children well. A lot of importance was put on creating a good nap environment which was important to me too.
The settling in sessions were well
structured and the nursery have always been very good at keeping me up to date with any issues that the children have had. There is an online learning platform that provides information regularly.
The nursery have helped us navigate through potty training and other milestones with sticker charts on walls and lots of encouragement.
Overall I have had a positive experience and I recommend Pumpkin Patch to others. It is a smaller nursery but I think the staff really care about the children and get to know them really well.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.139)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.139) out of 10 for Pumpkin Patch Farnborough is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for Pumpkin Patch Farnborough is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.139 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Pumpkin Patch Farnborough is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 = 3
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 36 number of registered child places is 7.2. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.2 = 0.139
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
