Partou Bumpkins Day Nursery & Pre-School

Bumpkins is a friendly environment in a perfect setting. We love that our son experiences a range of both indoor and outdoor activities. The staff are very supportive and we have peace of mind that our son is happy and safe, during his sessions. We highly recommend this nursery to parents and carers looking for childcare solutions.

Our daughter loves her time at nursery; 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 conversation and use of language has extended due to the careful questioning of well-trained staff and open-ended activities. Her ability to share with peers and be understood has been shaped by good modeling and consistency of staff interaction. Bumpkins care for, know and understand our daughter and that’s all we could ever ask!

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

The Bumpkins Nursery team are amazing. Both my children have attended and both have loved the time they have spent there from 11 months all the way up to preschool age. 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 children.

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

My son blossomed at Bumpkins Nursery. Great facilities and wonderful staff. The staff are caring and interactive. I felt at ease knowing my son was there daily and was well-taken care of. He was happy there and learned a lot.

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

The activities are varied and interesting, the resources and facilities are great and the food is of great quality and variety.

Thank you in particular to the staff in Dragonflies who, over the past year or so, have been fantastic.

Our son absolutely loves every moment spent at Bumpkins and seeing him thrive here has been everything we could have ever wanted. The team have been so encouraging, supportive and are really in sync with his personality and needs. They’ve made a really positive impact on his development and confidence, encouraging him to try new things and we love seeing his photos from the day - lots of smiles! A fantastic nursery, cannot recommend enough.

Bumpkins have been amazing for my daughter, who was a lockdown baby so had met very few people before needing to start childcare so I could return to work. They managed intro sessions really well and were so flexible with these. She has settled in so quickly and loves her two days a week there. We get updates through the day and I’m not worrying about anything because I know the staff would be in touch immediately if needed. Thank you Bumpkins for making a nerve-wracking time so easy, and for looking after our daughter so well.

I couldn't recommend it enough. Thank you all for your wonderful efforts.

I can’t recommend this nursery enough and I am very thankful for their kindness and hard work specially during these hard times.

As parents, it can be extremely daunting choosing a suitable nursery to send your one-year-old to; all of a sudden, you are putting your child in the hopefully safe hands of others for a whole day/multiple days a week! However, as soon as we visited Bumpkins this time last year, that choice was made for us and we knew instantly we wanted our son to join. From the lovely, bright welcoming rooms, the delicious home-cooked food, to the welcoming and friendly staff, it was a no brainer for us.

He has absolutely loved his first year and has developed into such a sociable, happy, confident little boy, and so much of that is down to his time spent with the incredible staff and other children at Bumpkins. The fact that he can watch tractors go by from the window, walk up to feed the chickens in the field, play outside in the sandpit and do lots of sensory play (and that's just the morning activities!) is just lovely.

Bumpkins - you are amazing! Thank you!

Both our children have had a fantastic experience at Bumpkins. The facilities and location are great with lots of outdoor play. We have felt confident that our children have been well looked after and enjoyed their day, with lots of fun activities. The frequent updates on the online portal are lovely to see and very reassuring. We would definitely recommend Bumpkins to others.

I could not be happier with the service provided at Bumpkins. My son started when he had huge separation anxiety and became so painfully shy with lockdown but after a few months, he is like a different child. He is so much more chatty and sociable. He has made some lovely friends. I am also amazed by how the staff help Hugo with his development and how quickly he picks things up. I would highly recommend Bumpkins and am delighted that they are sharing a role in my son’s upbringing.

My 1-year-old granddaughter started at Bumpkins Day Nursery in the middle of very difficult times because of COVID-19. She had never been away from her mum and was very clingy but familiarisation sessions just weren’t possible. Despite being a little “lost” initially, it really wasn’t long before she was happy to be left and clearly having a lovely time. This is all credit to the staff at Bumpkins who have made an anxious time for both mum and baby a truly positive experience. Thank you.

The staff are exceptional, they treat each child as an individual. The warm and creative setting Bumpkins Day Nursery provides is engaging and has been key to our child’s development both educationally and emotionally. Our child thrives in this setting and gives us peace of mind that he is getting the best care. Highly recommend Bumpkins!

My daughter has been at Bumpkins Day Nursery for just over a year and it has been an amazing experience for her, she absolutely loves her time there and it has made her confidence grow so much. When we were first viewing nurseries we were looking for a ''good feel'', a home from home feel and we definitely got that here. All of the staff make the nursery what it is, they all look so genuinely happy to be there and know my daughter's personality so well. I love that the nursery take special occasions like nursery photos, Halloween and Christmas as an importance and get everyone excited for them. It is so nice to know my child is with people who we trust and care for her.

I have had 2 children go to Bumpkins Day Nursery from 12 months old until leaving to go to primary school. We’ve always been really happy with it. The preschool have a wonderful Nature Rangers field (forest school), which is a great difference to many other childcare settings. The main nursery also has chickens, tractors etc to see, which our children loved. The food is varied and healthy. Our children ate much better there than at home! The range of activities is large. Although Bumpkins is larger than some other nurseries, it has a lovely, kind feel to it, compared to some of the other places we’ve visited.

I would also like to say that the way the management have handled the COVID situation this year has been very impressive.

We’re very pleased with Bumpkins Day Nursery and our children have been really happy there.

My son has loved his time at Bumpkins Day Nursery so far, the staff are all friendly and welcoming and I’m especially impressed that everybody knows his name and his character, including the nursery manager and deputy manager.

The staff have managed the COVID restrictions well and have a good system in place to protect children and parents and I imagine staff as well.

My son has developed so many new skills since starting nursery, you can really see the difference it is making to his learning.

There is lots of messy play and the children spend lots of time outdoors which is great. I love seeing his artwork in his bag at the end of the day!
